Bullets also open the blood-brain barrier and allow toxins into the brain, so are they going to be banned? π§

Not loving genocide, but genocide wasn't a deal-breaker. Which is completely insane, if you stop to think about it for even a minute
One of the key characteristics of fascism is machismo: a kind of hyper masculinity, and one of the characteristics of machismo is seemingly that a man is right simply by stating something confidently enough. It's not about facts, evidence, or rigorous testing, it's just about being the right kind of man and having the right kind of masculine energy. That's why fascists are anti-intellectual, because intellectuals and academics understand that research, testing, and experimentation determine truth, not manly vibes.
Feels like empire is being run by boomer email forwards.
Wait until he finds out about the radiation from the Sun. Get him a mirror.
You know, I can get behind the sentiment of MAHA. Fast foods literally killing people, and worse, making thier lives miserable and expensive. Healthy skepticism of big pharma is, err, healthy. Bring that on.
Research into cell phone health issues is fine. The physics suggest it shouldn't be an issue, but still, data is good.
...But can we please take the quack medicine out?
Agreed that there's no such thing as "wasted" research. But there is no medicine to take out of the quack medicine. They're quacks because they refuse to accept results of research on emotional grounds and just keep squawking the same things their minds are made up about.
Focusing on problems that are fairly settled now because a 70+ year old heard they were mysterious and a problem at the age of six is so inefficient as to be regressive. Yes we should continue to research... everything but we should do so on the foundation of all the research available in , not on vaguely remembered tabloid scares from decades ago.

Oh my sweet summer child.
Faraday never told the prime minister asking what use his electrical party tricks had with, "I don't know but someday you will tax it." But it's fairly un-intuitive that some weirdos arguing about Newton's gravity equations not working in very specific circumstances would lead to precision worldwide location / mapping / guidance technology (Special relativity / GPS). Or that the abstract work in what atoms are and how they work would lead to incredibly dense handheld digital storage devices (quantum mechanics / SSDs). Seeing what organs could be removed from a living dog lead to the development of insulin.
Limiting research to what will pay off in ~5-10 years is like only taking day-trips and wondering why you never discover new continents.
Well, the only physics in EM that could be an issue is that the near-field isn't the same as the far-field.
Roughly accurate transcription it seems:

Text of above
[01:11:01] well, wi-fi radiation is, does all kinds of bad things, including causing cancer.
[01:11:10] wi-fi radiation causes cancer.
[01:11:11] yeah, from your cell phone. i mean, there's cell phone tumor, tumors, you know, that, i mean,
[01:11:15] i'm representing hundreds of people who have cell phone tumors behind the ear. it's always on the
[01:11:20] ear that you favor with your cell phone. and, you know, we have the science. so if anybody
[01:11:27] lets us in front of a jury, it will be over. you know, we-
[01:11:30] so what is the number? because a lot of people use cell phones.
[01:11:32] there's a lot of people with it. they're glioblastomas. that's the kind of cancers that
[01:11:37] they get. but cancer's not the worst thing. they also, you know, it opens up,
[01:11:42] wi-fi radiation opens up your blood-brain barrier. and so all these toxins that are in your body can
[01:11:49] now go into your brain.
[01:11:50] how does wi-fi radiation open up your blood-brain barrier?
[01:11:54] yeah, now you're going beyond my expertise. but what-
[01:12:00] there are, there are, i'm going to use a number here and you're going to think it's hyperbole,
[01:12:05] but it's not. there are tens of thousands of studies that show the horrendous danger of wi-fi
[01:12:12] radiation. and-
[01:12:15] so this is wi-fi that's in this room?
Would love to see these tens of thousands of studies that show the danger
Now you've gone beyond my university's subscriptions.
are those tens of thousands of studies in the room with us right now?
Are they speaking to you now?
Wow. This is so utterly absurd, even for politican.
But if he can't explain it, maybe he should bring in an expert who can. I can't wait to hear that explanation. I'll have the popcorn ready.
Well, this arrow, here, is WiFi.
And this line is the bloodβbrain, barrier.
When the arrow comes to the line, it goes through it. See?
And other things can go through the hole. Like woke.
I will not be taking questions. Thank you.
Yep. Exactly the best such an "expert" could provide. When did he lose his license to practice, again?
No Questions!
If you look at how RFK jr is sitting, he's leaning back and to the left.
How can the country whose engineering skill and expertise managed to rocket their manufacturing economy into the stratosphere post WWI and into WWII, devolve into idiots like RFK Jr?
His uncle wanted to put people on the moon for fucks sake. What a terrible shame on his family to have this guy be one of the last representatives of the Kennedy name.
Hi, I would like to introduce you to Rupert Murdoch, the ruler of Newscorp and now Fox.
Fox is now its own separate entity, but it's still the Murdoch family on the board of it.
TL;DR: The reason the anglosphere, primarily the US, is so fucked, is actually an ozzie. Though he's been an American citizen for some 4 decades now.
What a terrible shame on his family to have this guy be one of the last representatives of the Kennedy name.
Eh, agreed on some level, though it's actually also good proof of karma, which we all need. Shouldn't have lobotomized Rosemary, you sick fucks.
That's very true. I honestly didn't mean to minimize the Kennedy scandals. I should have chosen my words better.
He's saying this so people think his ideas are crazy and won't believe it when the feds and intelligence organizations actually manipulate society with technology.
That's his role in the administration. Its all a long con preparing for the social control coming next.
I think that you're actually putting too much stock into these people. They are just nasty people being nasty as far as they can. Any planning is superficial.
From some of them? Yes. From all of them? No. Steven Miller, Steve Bannon, maybe Dr Oz, almost certainly Linda McMahon, have plans
Us government: "Let's hire that guy to be in charge of health care."
That would be a really funny joke in a parallel universe.
There was debate into the late 90's in the scientific community if hiv caused aids due to the rigorous nature of Koch's Postulates. Even then it was just recognized not all the criteria were met. Later they proved it with a monkey variant. HIV causing aids. Not the crazy wifi thing.
Yeah, this seems to be the basis for all sorts of craziness. Something is sort of true at some point, latch onto some bastardized understanding and just never let that go
basically. I mean it was given some credence because the scientific community takes technical specifics like that very seriously but even then it was still recognized as unlikely that hiv did not cause aids as lab accidents had caused it. Its sorta funny I heard a guy give his talk on a paper like that in like 95 and looking it up in 96 the paper was written arguing we had proved it already by the criteria.
The WiFi came from the future to turn HIV into AIDS.
This is what people voted for.
Enough people to put it there.
