No benefit of the doubt here.
This is consistent with RFK jr. nonsense and that horrible Brady Bunch episode.

He’s railing against “people who don’t file claims” as if insurance only works when everyone gets sick. That’s literally how risk pooling keeps costs down.So dumb on many levels.
This ignorance is infiltrating our public discourse. He's an MD who doesn't understand basic economics or statistics.

I confess to having paused for a second on this one, a scammer sending me a $0.01 using Pay Pals messaging service that they received my $499.99. These wily hucksters!

Hilbert’s Grand Hotel captures the odd hospitality of countable infinity:a fully booked hotel with infinitely many rooms can still admit infinitely many guests by rearrangement. The paradox shows how intuition, trained on finite experience, fails with infinite sets. ℵ₀

While the cowards whisper and the filth multiplies on the right, Ben Shapiro’s out there swinging alone. Republicans are cowering in fear rather than calling out the antisemitic scum in their party. Time to stop being gutless swine.

Don't hold back Cameron.
Tell us what you really think.
[PS I like it as it's improved in advanced math and fewer hallucinations. Also has real long-term memory.]
See below (I know you know)
BTW: "I hate..."is pure Cameron. "I get so mad when people don't ask questions".

I've seen a lot of mocking memes on this.
It's NOT funny. That’s Dr. Oz and others in the White House helping someone in distress.
Politics aside, let’s show some grace. Not everything is for laughs.

The Fatal Conceit:"To understand our civilisation, one must appreciate that the extended order resulted not from human design or intention but spontaneously." Socialism assumes we can redesign society from reason alone, while Hayek shows that civilization itself is an evolved order no one designed.

In fairness, I've seen it paraphrased in so many different ways that the exact wording may be lost to the ages. Loved "Walking With Destiny" by the way. Now if you're feeling really ambitious, read some of Churchill's own writings. Brilliant author as you know. 📚

THIS is a desecration of memory and a reflection of historical amnesia. There are few things more tasteless than turning the image of a Holocaust victim into a competition poster. It's profoundly abhorrent and grotesque on so many levels. The organizers are sick fucks.

Dante’s Inferno consigns the “neutral” to the vestibule, those who lived without blame or praise… look, and pass. A tier brimming w/a sorry lot of Opportunists. But don't flatter the "normies": most aren't unaware but comfortable. Many are not fooled but amused. Attached is the cover of NY MAG.

Horrifying! The US is no longer measles free. Are we going to shoot for polio next? Can't overstate how deadly vaccine/medical disinformation is. It literally kills.
