The problem is definitely that screens are bad for people and social media is inherently bad, not that we have handed over power in our society to rightwing silicon valley moguls with these kind of batshit crazy beliefs, and not just general power over society... power to shape how we socialize with one another online.

sigh

I mean someone like Steve Jobs was essentially the """best""" case scenario of this type of person being given power in society and Steve Jobs was incredibly problematic as a person on multiple levels... including that he believed batshit crazy things.

It's really not that bad of a disease. Still would be super interesting if playing with bullshit peptides made things like it more likely.

I had to go on a long-term medication recently and I agonized about it for a YEAR before deciding that pushing my biochemistry into an unusual state while I was still ticking over without severe acute problems was worth it. I'm always afraid of thinking I know better than evolution.

His immune system is eating his stomach lining. He will need a special diet and in time this inflammation will cause cancer. But before that, he will need to be on immune suppression therapy meaning a viral infection could kill him.
