I haven't heard that people pay to be on his show, if that's true that certainly changes things in my mind.

Thanks for your response. Are you suggesting that indecisive movement on the part of the media is what causes antivax sentiments to rise? I mean one of the biggest slurs they throw is that you're antivax. I can't remember a time when antivaxing was talked about on the media as a reasonable standpoint. Yet the prevalence of antivax sentiments is increasing. Couldn't it also be attributable to institutional decline?

Did the CDC behave in a consistent and transparent way during covid? Or did they issue contradictory recommendations, and disinformation regarding lab leak. My point only is, if our institutions weren't failing us on the reg, maybe we'd find it easier to take their word for things.

True, there are limits to freedom of speech. But aren't you disturbed by the control that people in society are exerting on the narratives that we are allowed to question? With or without government involvement. I'm talking about big techmedia here, and the power they have to set the narrative entirely with or without the government involved. I mean the tools that they put into play to stop right wing misinformation (not saying most of it isn't misinformation) can be just flipped over on the left when the left starts threatening institutions down the road.

Came in to go to bed and I saw this article. I saw 3 separate shooting stars tonight and had no idea there was something happening. So cool, and so lucky I was outside tonight.

Strangely LD seems to me to be THE MOST CATCHY Star Trek theme. Every time I hear it it's playing in my head for the next 24 hours. Not saying it's the best, it's great, but goddamn does it burrow its way into my brain

Really great stuff OP. I love stuff that's repetitive, but builds in intensity as it goes. Really great. Thanks for sharing
