@pluralistic

So I just posted this and literally minutes later saw this post after reading the article. I don't know @pluralistic
but something caught my eye about the whole post. I too found the article inconclusive and mentioned it in my response to @vnarek. It is nice to have more amplifying information on the background on the doctor but I'm far from making my decision to believe either side. Either way, my responce to @pluralistic is: as follows:

Summary: Too little information to decide a position on Mikovits' claim and I'm not sure I have the time or access to discover conclusive facts. I am happy we are in the information age but what is true and what is not is the current problem? Hurry up blockchain!!

I like the use of the word "probably". I agree, the short film's overall feeling is the protracted version of clickbait. It seems if someone wants their movie to go viral, they have to have some conspiracy or anti-establishment feeling to it (insider information marketing tactic). This makes it difficult to trust anyone or their information since their movie tends to tell their motives and what they are really pursuing, instead of truth.

The reason i like "probably" false is, it admits there isn't much research or information to decidedly convince yourself or anyone else there is factual assurance. Seems fair that way. But it also sounds bias in that you make the capitulation (that this may not be true) but still express your disbelief in the overall conspiracy.

Anyway, this is something that has been on my mind recently about media and all the conspiracy theories out there.

Your racist Facebook uncle may have sent you a link to a trailer for "Plandemic," a conspiracy movie that stars a disgraced virologist called Judy Mikovits who makes a string of claims about her credentials and the coronavirus.

Science Magazine evaluated those claims.

Unsurprisingly, the majority of claims that Mikovits makes about her credentials and the science of coronavirus are provably false.

@vnarek Ya, after reading the article (which seems a little biased) it's still up in the air for me. The article says often, something to the tune of: "there is no evidence..." and "we don't know what she means when she says...".

I try to remember when taking in information, first never make assumptions. Allow the facts to speak and remember where the information is coming from; how does the messenger convey the message and what are their motives. Second: The lack of evidence does not count as evidence to support the opposite of the claim, it just means there is more research to do or questions to ask. I don't necessarily think she could be right, but she could be one person who knows these people and who or how they are as individuals. She could be jaded with how she left the organization she was with.

I do however look to a lot of the everyday casual doctors not in the public eye that have their own intuition and experience. There are a lot of them that are frustrated because the recommendations are puzzling or contrary to their understanding or experience.

To quote a favorite movie of mine "Times is hard...". Who can we trust anymore? Authority or not. People have their own motives and are out for themselves. There are so few who are intelligent and selfless enough to do what's right for humanity, the future of mankind and this planet. Hmmmm. What to do, what to do...?

Continuing research.

I'm assuming, if you're on this platform, you appreciate the liberty the platform provides. This makes me ask if anyone else is tracking this video. I guess it was taken down a few times. Is there really a conspiracy?

@comphys @design_RG Wow! thanks! great suggestions. I'll look up Spyder. I've never heard of it and it never came up in the recommendations online. 👍

@design_RG nice thanks!! I’m trying to get an all-in-one free IDE that is fun easy to use and has syntax coloring and stuff. I’ll hit em up!

Hi fam! I downloaded Pycharm IDE to practice python. I’m a way beginner and am looking to become better. Can anyone point me toward better resources for learning how Pycharm works? The Jetbrain site is terrible and I can figure out how to get started smoothly.

@MichaelA Agree. If you’ve read Tribe by Sebastian Junger, he talks about how a tribe used to punish/banish those who betrayed the tribe (for us, it’s now MANKIND). I think it’s how we should treat those who offend or betray/mislead mankind. These are the most offensive dangerous to our specie.

Western “justice” systems threaten people with massive punishments in order to extract false confessions ALL THE TIME.

No single person understands the law, they can always get people for something, it’s over-complicated – all by design, in order to control and abuse people. twitter.com/stefanmolyneux/sta

Here’s something interesting:

Barr appointed Jensen earlier this year to look into the handling of Flynn’s case. As part of the review, Jensen turned up handwritten notes from a senior FBI official which describe a discussion about the purpose of interviewing Flynn: “What’s our goal? Truth/admission or to get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired?” the official wrote.

@Squirrel@freespeechextremist.com Not so much a critical assessment as much as a comment in agreeance.
