Virtually every qualified professional (by their opinion or their qualifications) jumped into the fight against COVID (and in some cases the fight against the fight against COVID). Long COVID is receiving a minute fraction of the attention because the risks are so much lower. Almost everyone’s gone back to their day jobs while governments, non profits, and corporations allocate resources by consensus as is done in peaceful times.

High quality disease research takes place over years and decades through hundreds to thousands of studies. We’re still looking for a cure for HIV, long COVID could be harder to treat. We have no idea.

I had a friend some years ago who wrote survival advice. Not just SHTF stuff, but how to best survive everyday life situations.

He had some car advice:

> Forget "crumple zones". You want to be in the biggest, heaviest car. That's the one that will win the collision. It will often be an older car.

In this case, the '09 Malibu and the '59 Bel Air are almost exactly the same weight (about 3500 pounds), so you might think it would be an even draw. Or counting the fact that the Bel Air is almost 20 inches longer, it should win!

I have a feeling that my friend would have felt much safer in the Bel Air.

Autoimmune diseases could be more prevalent than we last thought. They remain statistically under-diagnosed and frequently people don't go deep enough into finding their root illness (most people don't have the tools) and get caught in broad categories like ADHD.

It's strange we live in a world of hyper-connected, hyper-monitored data collection but autoimmune diseases still have decades-long delays on getting a correct diagnosis. There's some real world changing stuff to be made in new tech connecting people to their root illness and allowing the voluntary option to visit a doctor to get it solved.

I once read an argument that said automation would advance universal basic income (UBI) and free up people for leisure and creating art. So I suppose they’ll have more time to create art.

The evidence is that it doesn't. Pharma companies rake in the money a ton but they're not the ones discovering new drugs, they're just the ones who ferry it to market.
ATMs with contactless are pretty common in Asia, I use them with Apple Pay quite often.
I didn't want to seem long winded, but the market structures you describe are common to many if not most markets we have for goods and services, at least here in the US.

For example:

Food, agriculture, energy, media (print/radio/movies/home video), most commodities, productive inputs... there is little that you can buy that is not part of what I would loosely call a "conglomerate" -- that is, a concentration of capital so large and intense that it tends to influence the markets in which it operates. In fact, markets are today less competitive than they have ever been.

Those things that are (I would argue, seem) "competitive" here, like fashion, consumer products, and the like, are frequently as or more exploitative and influence markets (specifically, labor markets) abroad, up to and including slavery. Just because we don't feel that pain doesn't mean others are free of it.

This is because we have done nearly nothing, culturally, politically, economically, or psychologically, to stop the movement of power -- just as you described -- out of the hands of the many people and into the hands of the few entities that control such markets.

The free market, where each individual has the power of their dollar, is delicate indeed. Much more delicate than we have appreciated in the last several decades.
>It is not psychosomatic, and involves real changes to the structure and chemistry of the brain.

I'm not one of the people that completely denies long COVID is a thing, but this statement seems strange. It at least reads as "it's not psychosomatic because it causes real changes" but a psychosomatic illness causes real changes without a clear cause.

They could be two unconnected statements poorly quoted, but "it caused physical changes" is too often used to dismiss a psychosomatic cause.

That’s not long covid, that’s post-acute sequelae SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC) which is a different category. If you also have crushing fatigue you might also have long covid. The basic test for this is the test for PEM, exercise as hard as you can and repeat in two days. If you too fatigued to do anywhere close to the same workout then you likely have PEM and LongCovid/ME/CFS.

This is my experience (albeit at smaller scale) exactly. If this wasn't the case, Rust would be snake oil and I'd be the first to admit it. Until my most recent endeavor with a rust backend, among other things, I simply didn't know it was possible to not have to debug crashes. Seriously. The pleasure of maintaining rust software in production is so wildly different from anything I've ever experienced in the past that I gladly submit to the compiler over and over and over again. It's worth the investment 100 fold.

Billionaires existing is ipso facto evidence of extreme inequality in allocation of generated wealth - so extreme that there is no feasible justification for it. Therefore, billionaires should not exist. A more verbose way to say the same thing is that society should be structured in ways that make it impossible to collect so much wealth produced by other people as economic rent.

I've been using Typora, which is good, fine-ish, but I don't like how it auto-expands the URLs of pasted images, and I wish there was some automation for a Task List -- I want to be able to check off a task, and have some cool animation/happy dance thing happen, then show that the task has been completed, tell me how smart and good looking i am, then either move it to the bottom of my list, or retire it to some 'completed tasks' list.

The conversation turned to why she had left graduate school. To my utter astonishment, she said it was because it made her feel stupid. After a couple of years of feeling stupid every day, she was ready to do something else.

Science makes me feel stupid too. It’s just that I’ve gotten used to it. I even think it’s supposed to be this way:

For almost all of us, one of the reasons that we liked science in high school and college is that we were good at it... [and yet] an emotional need to discover new things has to enter into it too.

I was a third-year graduate student and I figured that [one of my professors] knew about 1000 times more than I did (conservative estimate). If he didn’t have the answer, nobody did.

That’s when it hit me: nobody did. That’s why it was a research problem.

When I worked at walk-in tech support at university, we weren't supposed to take responsibility for backing up data prior to drop-off and didn't have drives or anything for that purpose. Sometimes if the customer seemed like the type of person that wouldn't blame us (why that policy was there) and really had no way to get it off I would use one of our WinPE USB drives to copy their essential files. When they had a Mac, however, I would just AirDrop their entire home directory to the Mac loaner and show them how to do the same when it came back. It would go through 100GBs of files within a few minutes and didn't use any of our equipment other than the loaner itself.

- Scapple (mac/windows only) https://www.literatureandlatte.com/scapple/overview

- kinopio (web/mobile) kinopio.club

- draw.io / diagrams.net
You can configure it to hide most of the toolbars and then just use it as mind mapping software, this is what I'm trying at the moment.
Perhaps. But I have seen parties be taken over by their membership voting for candidates, and implode. Because the people who vote for candidates aren't the wider public, and they're also not the people who actually get voted for. They're nuts generally.
> climate change is by far the greatest threat to the environment

The effects of climate change will be uneven across humanity, and many of the worst effects might be second-order (e.g. instability caused by mass migration).

There are other types of environmental change, like accumulation of so-called "forever chemicals", which have the potential to have a more direct effect on the entire human population, and potentially over a shorter time period than climate change. It's not clear to me that climate change is the greatest threat we face.
Given how common this appears. I’d really like to see a breakdown by

- age, gender, weight, race

- country, state, city

- medical interventions attempted, vaccine status, etc

- prior medical history

- drugs taken on a daily basis

I have a sneaking suspicion there’s some key factors here. This isn’t unheard of for viruses, even the flu can cause “brain fog”.

There’s also a chance the spike protein can cause this. There’s a few discussions on it, but it’s one of the reasons people were concerned about potential side effects from the vaccines (which utilize the spike protein).

Funny enough, the later point was mentioned in the global planning scenario of a coronavirus outbreak in oct 2019. Page 59 discusses vaccine side effects causing neurological issues

https://jhsphcenterforhealthsecurity.s3.amazonaws.com/spars-...

> While the federal government appeared to have appropriately addressed concerns around the acute side effects of Corovax, the long-term, chronic effects of the vaccine were still largely unknown. Nearing the end of 2027, reports of new neurological symptoms began to emerge. After showing no adverse side effects for nearly a year, several vaccine recipients slowly began to experience symptoms such as blurry vision, headaches, and numbness in their extremities. Due to the small number of these cases, the significance of their association with Corovax was never determined.

I’m sure it’s unrelated, but interesting none-the-less.

It should not be possible for a single person to own 8% of the company the size of Amazon.

If you're starting from scratch, there are many ways to do so. For example, make issuing corporate charters contingent on being employee-owned - so if the company grows, so does the number of owners.

If you're starting with an economy with extreme concentration of capital to begin with, gradually ratcheting up progressive taxation on such concentrated capital seems like a straightforward way to force the owners to spread it around.

IFR means "infection fatality rate". The operative word is rate. So no, you are completely wrong.

You are comparing number of deaths as opposed to rate of death per infection. The number of COVID infections are orders of magnitude higher than the number of flu infections. The rate of death from COVID per infection is now lower than the flu.
