Corporate greed undoubtedly exists. What I’m unsure of is whether or not there would be a vaccine against COVID-19 at all without companies being heavily funded as they were. The R&D and testing that went into making mRNA vaccines is a huge investment, and the rollout of vaccines to billions of people in a timely manner is another huge investment. These are for-profit companies. They want to make more money than they invest. It’s really simple when you don’t need to invest in the first place! That’s how you fast track an inoculation against a global pandemic. You make it simple for the profiteering corporations to do so.

Breaking free from a particular paradigm is something a person should want for themselves, not something forced on them.

From my very limited perspective, there is an extremely high probability that the star in the center of our solar system will make an appearance specifically in the atmospheric region within the vicinity of my ocular perception, due to prior knowledge being gleaned about both how this planet moves around said star in a revolving manner and the nature of the planet’s own curvature, and that this occurrence is reasonably expected to take place within an amount of time colloquially referred to as a day. or Sun’s gonna rise.

Hmmmmmmmm...toss-up between respiration and nutrient intake. Both very necessary habits for living. Most important is relative.

Humor is subjective. So “too far” is as well. I’m not going to watch it, but I have little doubt I’d be fine with it if I did. If someone else finds it offensive, that’s fine as well.

History as you know it is incomplete.

Doesn’t the territory include the maps of itself?

I bought it because of a different post on this forum. Very artistic and meta! I also find it hilarious that Alex Jones is in the movie.

Good tag line for American politics, tbh.

Here he makes some good points based on his experiences in both campaigns about how not only is our political system disintegrating, but so is the entire media landscape. Polarization and instability are becoming the status quo, and it needs to change one way or another. His new party sounds like a good change to me! https://samharris.org/podcasts/262-future-american-democracy/

No right or wrong. Only perfect. Yes, everything included.

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice. - lyrics in Free Will by Rush The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Loooooooooove that song! This isn’t really news to me, though. Abuses of money and power are constant. Good on them for gathering the evidence of it! But really, it’s just more fuel for a confirmation bias. I wonder if the Sacklers were included?

I haven’t forgotten about this thread! I said I would practice more and record something original by the end of September, but I’m a little late. https://vocaroo.com/17i7YgaGzTE4

What? You said you were prepared!

Usually around 2 AM.

How’s that for journalistic integrity?!

Too much responsibility, and not enough conscious awareness. How can a person be expected to accept that everything is their doing? It’s incredibly daunting/absurd/threatening depending on one’s level of awareness to hear such a thing.

I’m a hard C. Not people oriented, and a thinker rather than a doer.

Yup. It’s the whole “democracy is government of the people, by the people, for the people...but the people are retarded” Osho quote.
