Why do many controversial experts

Why do so many controversial articles mostly appear on substack?

Since substack isn't a journalistic enterprise it doesn't bother with the normal substantiation process that are followed by the creditable media. Everybody but the conspiracy nutjobs realize that the fringe dwellers can only garner attention with the usual method of click bait titles and alarmist content with barely an iota of truth. Without a doubt the only outlets that really facilitate the monetization of misinformation (by ANYBODY) are those like substack and YouTube.

Somehow... the flies can smell the fecal matter from miles away and zoom in.... same thing with substack.

It's a very American platform, in line with the First Amendment.

It's also worth stressing that as it is an open platform where anyone can create an account and start posting, the competition is fierce and the quality bar is therefore raised significantly.

As is the case on YouTube, with this model, the vast majority of contributors have very few followers and little influence or impact. If you manage to rise above the average and generate meaningful income and engagement, it means your product is of a unique quality. That's what happens with open-market models: 80% of the content is low-to-average, and 20% is above standard. And I have often found that that 20% is actually superior, from an editorial and methodological standpoint, to a lot of content by the institutional media.

mRNA debates aside, Optimus & Grok may be our main doctors in 10 years.

As I wrote, such fixes have nothing to do with actually curing illness/disease. When you don't understand the difference, you are on a lifelong medical treatment journey...

My parents were on medications for decades.

It worked well for them.

Sort of.

It extended their lifespan, but neither were they playing tennis at 90.

But they were never going to fix their crappy diets, addiction to sugar, addiction to sitting on the couch all day.

So that's the way it is. Medical technology is needed for many people.

This is one doctor who has a Youtube channel who tries to get his patients off meds.

But the patient still has to do the work.

And also, Youtube allows time to communicate more in-depth ideas. The way the medical system is structured, the doctor only has 10 minutes for each patient, which is not much time.

I'm responding to my own post because it's too late to edit. I'm being tongue in cheek here...

It has gotten better, especially on the moderation side. I didn't last all the way through Covid because I was a refugee living in the USA so I lost interest in Thailand for a couple of years. I got at least one posting holiday for information that was true (even at the time), but it didn't come from an "approved source". Because, at the time, all of the approved sources were speaking with the same voice.

I also got a few posting holidays. Once for simply stating that that the majority of deaths were unhealthy people which was obviously true. It got reported being misinformation and the vaccine crowd was convinced healthy people were just as likely to die. I got vaccinated but didn't feel the need to require others to get jabbed nor scream at others that had questions about the vaccines. It was a bizarre period where independent thinkers were muted and the herd mentality prevailed.

Were they happy during those decades? It is hard for those of us that are healthy to relate to those that are unhealthy by choice. In the end, if a person chooses to be unhealthy and is satisfied with their life, then who am I to criticize even if i can't relate.

My parents were extremely healthy and lived a wonderful life up until the last few years when they both fell apart and have been kept alive with meds and surgeries. I think my Mom is ready to throw in the towel and my Dad is too stubborn. They were lucky that they stayed healthy into their early 80's. I think they would have made it another decade if they didn't drink so much. Being alive and living a satisfying life are not the same.

Happy is a strong word.

But taking care of the human body is hard work. You need to be strict, disciplined for years.

I'm supposed to do some lifting today, but I can't get myself to do it.

Some guys are in the gym 6 days a week and it's second nature to them.

I don't think that's true. Moderation and balance are key, sleep enough, drink enough water, don't be stressed and you have a fair chance of living long and happy.

@save the frogs Fully agree wit Rattles. There is absolutely no need for gym workouts to stay healthy (on the contrary I would say). A daily walk in nature (or the park if you are living in a city) is far more beneficial for your health than indoors weight-lifting.

Well, I was following a cancer prevention Youtube channel recently.

And she recommended that one modality to prevent cancer is to lift weights. Her sarcastic way of expressing it was "try to lift something heavier than your remote". I never thought there was a link between cancer and lifting weights. Not sure how solid her science is.

But lifting heavy matches our evolution. Our ancestors had to carry and lift heavy things to survive. They didn't go to gyms, but it was built in to their daily lives.

If you have good genes and diet, I suppose you can get away with never "lifting anything heavier than your remote".

These are all decisions that people need to make for themselves.

And I finally got around to a bit of lifting this afternoon, but it was a struggle.

The thing with weights is that there are many ways people do it wrong and hurt themselves, from back damage to ligament problems, etc.

Lifting your own weight is, IMO, the best approach.

Yeah, I stopped going to the gym.

Also, TOO much muscle appears to shorten lifespan.

But that's typically only a problem for gym dudes on steroids. Most of us have the opposite problem to worry about - not enough muscle.

No need for any of that fancy stuff.

A solid 'Bathroom Yoga' routine is more than enough.

I'm sure bathroom yoga has great benefits. I personally am a long-standing believer in 'core strengthening'.

Just doing the plank exercise regularly will make you a lot stronger than all these narcissistic dudes flexing their biceps at the gym:

You haven't proven anything.

Other 'clot shots' are available.

If you get a blood transfusion from a COVID vaccinated person, will you get spike proteins and clot problems?

Are blood transfusions safe?

Good question and this is a critical issue, I remember there were reports of clotting and other issues after transfusions, a few years ago.

Safer than what? Not getting a transfusion and letting yourself die?

Are hospitals really going to keep track of everyone who is vaccinated?

Stop spending too much time on covid conspiracy threads. It will make you paranoid.
