@gladioperibunt @ScottAdamsSays The Two Party System is a charade. What we have is a Progressive uniParty & the uniParty is all about distracting the citizenry while looting the public treasury & slaking the bloodthirsty Progressives’ need for War.

@MJnanostretch @mattwridley Grant proposals are *not* science. Grant panels are *not* science. Tenure and promotion is *not* science. Manuscripts are *not* science. Peer review is *not* science. Government policy is *not* science. Science *is* this: does this model fit this data? That is *all* science is.

@ChrisPalmerMD This is the legacy of pharmaceutical marketing. It was insanely profitable to market SSRIs for widespread use. It is possible that SSRIs are useful in some patients. However, if SSRIs had been prescribed only to patients who would benefit, the profits would have been small.

@Nigel_Farage The reason to skip the champagne is that ethanol is poison. Ethanol is metabolized to acetaldehyde which tears up your anatomy something fierce. Ethanol leads to domestic violence, car crashes, cirrhosis, pancreatitis, atherosclerosis & cancer. Avoid!

@MogTheUrbanite @Aristos_Revenge Correct. Why do we have troops anywhere near the Middle East? What vital U.S. interest is served? Ramp up extraction of fossil fuels in the US then bring home the troops. Enough of this obsolete American Empire. It's no longer worth the price in blood & treasure.

@ifixhearts The cause of atherosclerosis is unknown. Always has been. Check your textbooks. Those who believe otherwise have been deceived by marketing. (The epidemiological concepts of risk and hazard are useful, but not explanatory for patient managent.)
