I may have agreed with this in the past, but after listening to James Lindsay, I think that it is clear the issue is not logic vs emotion but an underlying worldview that is fundamentally different.
This is correct. The removal of the face =/= removal of the problem.
That's a good start, but you're going to have to cut a slit in the mask so that they can still eat.

They said climate change was getting worse, but I didn't realize it was THAT serious!
You believed the videos and stories of people who have magnets and other metal objects, some of which are non-magnetic, sticking to their skin at the injection site?
Magnetic skin?
Why would this be considered insane let alone par for the course?
Marxist logic = it's not wrong if it helps our cause.
The problem with gas stoves is that you cannot shut them off via smart meter.
You can, however, shut off electric stoves this way.
It seems as though a lot of people prefer to be fooled.
The immanent danger to the heart passed some time ago, and much of the last week was focused on countering the expected swelling of the brain.
The danger for this would have passed by the end of the week, and that's when he was brought out of the comma and began to communicate.
If not already out of the ICU, he will be moved shortly and will spend some time being monitored.
While the risk of death has likely passed, he will likely now face a risk of seizures, which will probably diminish over time. Once the doctors are satisfied, he may transfer to a rehab hospital/facility dependent on the extent of his brain injury.
The Brunson case has never had a chance.
Why do useless events get hyped to the moon on here all the time?
Not a medical professional, but I can imagine that after a heart - with previous issues - is restarted, it might be unstable for a period of time after a rhythm is initially restored.
It is possible that the explanation of the heart attack is actually correct. I think that Dr. McCullough and Dr. Malone have both stated that in order for the heart to be stopped by a blow to the chest, there had to be a pre-existing heart condition. This would have almost certainly been detected by team doctors prior to a contract being issued.
That suggests that at an earlier period Damar likely had a healthy heart. If his heart was damaged by the vaxx, however, it might actually be true that the blow caused the arrest.
It seems as though the questions to be answered are:
- Did he have a diagnosed heart condition?
- How likely is it that, prior to signing his contract, he could have had an undetected heart condition?
- If a blow to the heart only causes the heart to stop if the heart was previously damaged, then what caused his heart to be damaged between the time he signed and Jan 2?
- Given that he didn't receive a particularly hard hit, how much risk is there to other players?
Having had my child go through something similar (cardiac arrest outside of a hospital), I think that this analysis is completely wrong.
Estimate is that my child was in arrest for approximately 10 minutes before being found and CPR started. CPR continued until paramedics arrived. I don't know how long that was, but it seemed like an eternity and was probably for longer than 10 minutes.
After getting jumpstarted, it was off to the nearest hospital for stabilization before the airlift.
That there is no news is also not a surprise. It will likely be 72 hours before they try to bring him out of the coma because the doctors will want the brain swelling to be going down before trying to get him up.
In the meantime, there may be some signs of how things are going, but if I were a family member, I would not release anything. These signs would be from brain scans and heart rates.
Because the injury to the brain is caused by lack of oxygen, it is possible to be significantly disabled in spite of little to no damage being visible in a scan - the thought is that the damage is microscopic.
Assuming he survives, the only way to know how bad the damage is, is for him to wake up, which will be followed by years of intense therapy to maximize available function.
If the brain swelling cannot be controlled, he will die. If organs are to be donated, his body will be kept alive until suitable recipients can be found.
Based on the circumstances, I am hopeful that he will pull through despite the odds. If he is not significantly affected by the incident, it will be an absolute miracle.
It's possible that a vertebrae was injured when he fell.
For the moment I expect that the main concern would not be the heart or the vertebrae but the brain injury he almost certainly sustained as a result of the cardiac arrest.
A while back my child was in a serious accident that made national news (though nothing like the current circus).
The hospital had to hire extra security to keep reporters from hassling people. Reporters had to be escorted off the premises multiple times and took to approaching anyone at the hospital who might possibly be a friend or family member in an effort to obtain a scoop.
Likely that's what is happening in this situation.
Cardiac arrest outside of a hospital is a dire situation, but it is not 100% fatal.
It seems that he received CPR almost immediately after the event, and his heart was restarted. I think these facts offer hope.
At this point, most likely God only knows what the outcome will be. During the 72 hours after the event, his brain will swell from the injury it received due to lack of oxygen.
Keeping the swelling down as much as possible will be the top priority right now as this has the potential to cause greater damage than the original event.
If his brain swells too much, then it will cut off its own blood supply resulting in death.
At this point his body might simply be being kept alive while suitable organ recipients are found. Alternatively, he may make a surprisingly strong recovery - or the result might be somewhere in the middle.
Only time will tell.
Relax. It's probably just one of those fluke things that just seem to happen.
I've gone from being deferential to medical professionals to absolutely never again.
Is there anyone who can provide a layman's explanation for the article that is a little more informative than "they are screwed"?
That there is a serious problem is something we can agree on.
I don't think, however, that the solution is popularizing phrases such as "Merry Christmas". The disappearance of "Merry Christmas" is a symptom, and addressing the symptom while the actual problem continues to fester cannot work.
I think that the problem is the spiritual condition of the majority of the culture. If, by some miracle, that could be set right, the use of "Merry Christmas" and other phrases would cease to be an issue.
One disagreement I have with PDT is his insistence on reintroducing Christmas into the general culture. Before PDT we were nearly at the point where the broader culture was having winter celebrations, and Christmas was reserved for the Christians.
On the one hand, hearing "Merry Christmas" widely used again sounds nice, but on the other hand, the use (or non-use) of this phrase does nothing about the underlying problem in the culture.
You know who were the first offenders to replace 'Christ' with 'X'?
It was those early Christians and their fish!
How did you arrive at 1 & 4?
