    The growth of coronavirus in a given area is dependent on two primary factors:
    1. How dense the population is
    2. How dense the population is

      This is such a good quote. Wise people are wise because they are critical to even their ideas and thoughts so it cause this uncertainty all the time (seeking for truth constantly and be wise to be able to change ideas as truth reached) fools and fanatics don’t have to bother you even think on something if it’s correct or not. Isn’t it easy and lazy just to believe but also calming, relaxing up to the point you don’t even care anymore.
      Critical thinking is too much work and what you get as a result ?? Never be sure about anything and constant unrest-fullness !! How big of a bliss is being ignorant

      Imma have to disagree- wiser people just don’t speak in absolutes!! Real experts of any sort are very very careful about using clear, accurate, specialty-specific language, & in science especially, we always leave room for the possibility that we MIGHT be wrong. Because there could be something we are collectively missing, technology might come along to expose a factor that would turn our theory on its head, know matter how sure we are, we will never say “I can tell you that this is 100% true”, unfortunately this is exactly what bad faith actors cling onto push their bullshit- & nobody seems to question why the expert “isn’t sure” but the rando with an interest in the opposing view _is_ sure & it drives me absolutely crazy 😫

    My favourite concpiracy theory comes from two old ladies I passed on the street.
    Lady 1: "So, my husband says that all this Corona thing started because Trump used a bioweapon on China. To weaken their economy, you know?"
    Lady 2: "Then why do the US have so much Corona?"
    Lady 1: "It's Trump, you really think he thought that far ahead?"

      ...Well...
      Generally speaking, if Trump is accusing someone of doing something, it's because he does/did it. So, with Trump accusing China of releasing it from a lab in Wuhan, maybe that's because that's what he did.

Microwaves are not *ionizing* radiation so there's no chance of them causing cancer. They just excite the water molecules in your food which results in them heating up faster.

    At one point I was hospitalized with what the emergency room initially thought was spinal meningitis which is very contagious.
    I was IMMEDIATELY told to put on a mask and not to take it off for anything, and then I was stuck in a room by myself just waiting until a doctor could see me.
    That was in 2011.
    It turned out I just had a hell of a mixed tension migraine but because I also have dysautonomia, my nervous system went bananas and gave me a fever of 104 which is why they thought I probably had meningitis. It's not like they were idiots, my body just does really strange things.
    The point is that I was immediately isolated from everyone in that hospital. I wasn't in line somewhere, or in a waiting room. I had to put on a mask and sit in what was essentially a broom closet by myself until specialists had time to give me a spinal tap and CT scan to make sure that I did not in fact have spinal meningitis.
    But this dude here thinks that people are just going to be waiting in a giant room? All together? Ok bud.

      Operation Paperclip, Operation Northwoods, Operation Mongoose, Operation Mockingbird, Operation Cyclone and Operation Midnight Climax involving Project MKULTRA are all you need to look up to know this video is full of shit. The term conspiracy theory was created by the CIA to make people avoid the truth. Key thing to remember is that both of our political parties are completely bought and owned by corporate interests and the military industrial complex. That's why we can't have universal healthcare in the middle of a pandemic during a Democrat presidency with a Democratic majority in Congress. I'm surprised he even got the troops out of Afghanistan after the media's fake nonsense over "women's rights". In all my 20 years of watching that war unfold I never heard the media voicing concern for women's rights in Saudi Arabia because in Saudi Arabia women are stoned to death for infidelity but they're one of our biggest allies so whatever right?

Maybe if they were a little more prompt with the checks, they wouldn't have to spend so much on the assassins and hit squads to stop the young, idealistic, and broke grad students from leaking the raw unaltered data they have access to as they perform the bulk of the field work.

Apparently believing the Earth is round causes people to doubt the existence of God. This will make us all susceptible to trusting everything scientists say, without question, and will enable whatever evil powers are leading us astray to have total control over us. All I could think of was the minister's daughter I met once, who said 'Dinosaurs never existed. The devil put the fossils there to confuse us'.

      Even if they do know how to research, there is bias towards results and a inherent ability to intepret in favorable ways to what we already want to belive in. So not only do we need proper knowledge in critical thinking regarding sources of information, on how to filter that information, but also on how our own psyche works and how to counter act against those mind tricks. So yeah, it is hard to get it right.

      There is a growing theory amongst astronomers that a 9th planet (no not Pluto - not a planet) does exist, in very deep, elliptical orbit. There is quite a bit of indirect evidence of it, from how the other 8 planets ended up in their current configurations, to the behavior of small objects in the oort cloud. There is quite an effort in the astronomical community going on right now to "find" this planet (very difficult to spot due to it's assumed distance, size, & composition).
      But no, it's not on a collision course for earth nor is it inhabited by seagoing aliens with gnarly beards who are easily sunblinded & use laughably toy-ish artillery.

      @@cityhawk I had AT&T internet. The fastest speed they offered in my area is 6mb down and 0.33mb up, even though another company was offering 100mb down and 10mb up. They also had a 150Gb data cap and charged $10 every 50 you go over when the other company has no cap at all.
      Worst part is it went down at least 3 times per day.
