If you are a white race mixer, I want you to remember that Mexico and India are the result of race mixing. Mexico was white Spaniards mixing with Central American natives India was steppe eurasians mixing with Australian aboriginals Black Americans are also black mixed with white The worst people in the world are created by race mixing because they lose their ability to be anything at all. They're not smart enough to be white but they are not satisfied with laying around outside anymore. They are trying forever to be white and falling short. Why would you curse your children to this eternal hell

Lmao what a joke. Mostly poorly behaved kids with parents who think they are friends. No amount of taxpayer funded occupational therapy will make them better either. Interesting how societies with stricter consequences for actions and actual enforcement of discipline via parenting has far few rates of supposed autism.

lol Seeing so many people in my feed saying they're done with bitcoin after the coldcard thing. Genuinely get it. Some of you lost a decade of savings in 25 minutes. You did everything "right" and still got rinsed. That's not a lesson, that's just cruel. This bear has been brutal for some of us...haven't told the wife the number yet. But let's be clear about what actually broke. A lock broke. Not bitcoin. No coins counterfeited. No blocks reversed. The maths securing every coin is exactly as strong today as it was before the hack. What broke was a piece of hardware made by a company. Bitcoin never promised to protect that. It promises three things: can't be printed, can't be seized from the ledger, can't be stopped. 17 years. 471 obituaries. China banned half the mining overnight and it didn't even blink. Here's the bit that took me years to get: Every attack on bitcoin is really an attack on our faith in it. That's the only vulnerability it has ever had. Not quantum. Not governments. Us. The thief didn't just steal coins. He's betting you'll sell the rest and walk away forever. Don't let him have both. To everyone who lost - take whatever time you need. It'll still be here when you're ready. That's the entire point of something that doesn't die. To everyone watching nervously - the asset didn't change. A lock did. And locks get rebuilt, by some of the smartest engineers on earth, in the open, for free. The bet was never "bitcoin is perfect". It's that a scarce unstoppable asset that survives everything is worth more tomorrow than today. This week didn't change the bet. Just the price of admission. Hold the line for the ones who can't right now. They held it for you in 2018, 2020 and 2022.

AI is genuinely advancing faster than most people can keep up with. People are "freezing" their use of it at the limit of their cognitive/behavioral capacities. An endless intelligence will benefit the super few as it always has.

AI is gonna help bridge the gap between expectations and service/product so much across so many industries My referrals, notes and general work flow has improved 10x compared to GPs just 5 years ago. Income has improved Patient outcomes improved Specialists happier Patients happier because I look at them during the consult rather than the weird contortionist thing where you gotta type while looking somewhat at the patient as they talk. Downstream effects immeasurable And I am just one regular dude We are all gonna win so much Can’t wait for the AI revolution

PSA: Entered a small spot position in $ORE at $89 (for the cycle) Their handle is @ORE Thesis coming soon. Here is a summary of why: - Interviewed @HardhatChad on Spaces - genius working with @deanmlittle another genius - Read the code - Analyzed the use case - Mined some - Quantum Resistent - Private transactions - Basically a better Bitcoin, a better Zcash, on a better execution network - @solana - I just like the stock. Considering helping them to educate people on this innovation, I have ideas for this team and this asset which I believe can be a stable store much like . More to come. Full transparency. Not financial advice.

covid was a test round the increasingly aging (85+)/complex multi morbid unproductive population in western countries will sink these civilisations. The people at the top know this but its politically unfavorable to suggest other solutions - see Canada's assisted dying issues. Much easier to have a global flu pandemic that "naturally selects" out these segments of society so the rest can actually thrive.

It's women in the workforce in the context of money printing, inflation and a boomer gerontocracy that doesn't die off due to modern medicine. Both parties spending increasing hours to just get by; no one's having sex that exhausted from life. It will happen to every "developing" country as they adopt western economics and social norms.
No matter what your theory about birth rate collapse is, there’s some data point that disproves it. Japan didn’t have the pill when fertility collapsed. There are highly patriarchal countries where fertility is collapsing. It’s collapsing in countries that are still poor. It’s collapsing in places with more generous social support for families. It’s almost like a psychic alien just decided to phase humans out.

I'm imagining the bears who think that Bitcoin is so weak that if you buy 4% of it and talk a lot, you can destroy the whole network. It's not even a person, but a group. Bought 4%. Like, somehow the key weakness of Bitcoin is that if someone buys 4% of it, everything fails.

Long COVID serves a psychological purpose. To be clear, I am not talking about cases where a viral infection causes demonstrable medical sequelae in specific organs or physiological systems. Those are real medical questions that should be investigated on their own terms. I am referring to the broader cluster of symptoms often grouped under "Long COVID" that are predominantly psychiatric - subjective and nonspecific: fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, low mood, difficulty concentrating, and related complaints. It helped keep the emotional world of the pandemic alive after the emergency had ended. During COVID, being cautious was seen as virtuous. Avoiding risk meant being responsible and paying close attention to symptoms showed you were taking things seriously. Public life reorganized itself around protection, accommodation, and the assumption that anyone could be gravely harmed. In that sense, COVID accelerated the feminization of social norms: safety, emotional validation, vulnerability, and infantilizing care became the organizing principles of public life. Not helpful for those tending naturally towards neuroticism that was not only left unchecked but actively encouraged for over 3 years. For those people, the end of the pandemic meant the loss of belonging, the dissolution of a social environment in which their concerns, anxieties, and risk assessments were widely shared and affirmed. Long COVID allowed the crisis to continue in another form. It confirmed that all the fear and excessive care at the expense of others were justified. It preserved the sense that the extraordinary measures had indeed been necessary. It kept alive the emotional framework of the COVID years. And in that framework, demonstrating concern for suffering becomes more important than asking the question: What actually helps people recover?

That's exactly the point. As a young doctor; you want people like me to work 5-6 days a week. There is no point punishing the 5-10% of professional High earners who work highly skilled fields. These people have the capacity to work less which means less benefit to society as a whole. Bracket creep needs to go. Why would I spend the next 30 years working 60 hour weeks if 30 hours of that is taken right away. May as well work only 30 hours so I only have to give up 10 hours to the government. There needs to be a fair exchange for the 30 hours I could just spend with family / working on myself then. It not equality to take a disproportionate amount of ones time in the form of earnings. I believe in fair taxation. This is plain unfair and disheartening. I have worked till 8 pm 5-6 days a week for the last 3 months - I would love to see the sun when I leave work and I miss it. I'm not depressed; I love what I do but I see the cost to my family. My wife understands because I'm doing it to try and offset our fairly new first home mortgage- modest family home in modest suburb yet with rising interest rates ; an eye watering monthly payment. I see around 25-30 people a day. Most are bulk billed. So tell me ; Why is my sacrifice worth less? Why should people like me be made to give away 30 hours of our time weekly for the next 30 years? Would you rather that people like me work less and thus see less patients ? All politics aside. I'm genuinely trying to understand what would the incentive to sacrifice that extra 30 hours a week if you are unfairly taxed for it.

If you think the boomers will be gone soon and the world can start to mend.. I have news for you. ​Entresto and Ozempic will keep the lads going for another 30+ years. ​With what else is in the pipeline.. ​Millennials and gen Z in Australia are truly screwed. ​We will work ourselves to the bone to fund another 20-40 years of an increasingly aging and larger boomer cohort and their social supports. ​The average human life span will increase to the 100s. ​So many boomers will spend DECADES in assisted care or nursing homes. ​The costs will be astronomical. ​You will need a pipeline of immigrant workers "willing" to care for them. ​I say "willing" because aged care is hard. It's not the pay; it's the job - the smell of urine, feces and the sheer weight of your entire day revolving around the most depressing aspect of aging in humans. ​Locals don't do it: hence the international nurses. They hate the job too. They do the 3 years in some country town nursing home for the visa then finally settle where they want. ​Kinda like an unspoken indentured servitude agreement with the Australian govt; take care of our aged for three years and you get permanent residency for you and your family. ​It's also a steady flow of tax dollars, and a steady flow of a servile class to prop up house prices and thus boost their blue chip property portfolios. ​What's not to like for the Gerontocracy? ​Latest budget is a slap in the face. It's like they don't even care about how it looks. Literally pulling up the ladder they used to build wealth. ​Never have people lived this long. ​Never in human history has this happened. ​There are so many weird implications around this.. It's mind boggling.

Its not about the founders, its about investors. Why would any investor risk their capital in an Australian start-up if the government takes half of the upside while absorbing 0% of the downside?

Saw a patient. Woman in her 20s with an autosomal dominant genetic abnormality that has a 50% chance of being passed down. Newly pregnant. Had a bender over the weekend - over 15 drinks each day. Fetus only 5 weeks old. Highest amount of DNA damage at this stage. Undetectable with current tech. Explained that her genetic condition NOR alcohol fetal syndrome has no way of being detected prior to birth. The kid would potentially have a hard life. Stunted Neuro developmentally from birth due to the individual / personal choices of its parents. Will unlikely contribute to society She doesn’t have a concept of such hardship- there has always been a helping hand for her personal bad choices via Centrelink, DSP, NDIS Plans on having the kid. Father never attends appointments- is a drunk himself. Meanwhile… Entire group of doctors in my group chats putting off kids because we are simply too exhausted working 12 hour days and no “feeling” of getting ahead due to taxes, insurance payments, costs of running a practice. I wonder how many young professionals are in the same boat. Evolution is rolling over in its grave. Why are we promoting the procreation of the subpar in society while punishing our smartest and most productive? Where does this future lead? Is this an unkind truth that needs to be discussed? How long will we ignore the obvious staring us in the face ? Feels like some sort of collective societal delusion we are all going along with. This is how civilisations collapse I suppose.
