I’ll never emotionally recover from the death of expertise. Anti-intellectualism has ruined us.

Quick. Ask them to tell you what a toxin is.

It’s what cancer cells crave.

I feel this in my bones. I never thought I would live to see humanity willingly, openly return to an obscure state of ignorance *on purpose*. And to glorify it as well. And what really bothers me about this health stuff in particular is that it affects good people at their most vulnerable moments.

You should talk to any medical specialists you know about how many people come into their offices and fact check them real time about advised treatment using chat gpt. It's great!™

These people are going to fill the pits of Hell, all the while arguing with the Devil that brimstone and damnation actually helps cure gout.

My step-mom's brother got stage 1 kidney cancer a couple years ago, not sure the exact timeframe. Very treatable, they caught it early. But he didnt trust doctors or mainstream media. He found a health blog saying that cancer feeds on sugar, and that cutting it from your diet starves out the cancer.

He ate nothing but steak for about a year. Took him a long time to notice it wasn't doing anything. By the time he went back to the doctor it was no longer treatable. He died not long after. This misinformation costs lives and for *what*.
