isn't it because it's partially how the wars are financed

Don't let them gaslight, I know libertarians were concerned about e-voting machines back in the 2012 race for example

I don't necessarily endorse these films but here is one partial list of previous documentaries on the topic: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls066724450/

Didn't read but I'm still skeptical of ivermectin... I mean, if the goal is preventing something like the common cold, there's plenty of free, proven, natural things you can do already

It's fine to help them, it's just curious why they don't go to neighboring countries and we could help with the resources or something (for those who want to help voluntarily)

"predictive programming"

I view this as a mostly positive development in reaction to conditions, as I see some comment favorably on this: there's probably more to unpack about it

part of the problem is the destruction of a lot of traditional jobs, for example due to overregulation of the industry and schooling, there are doctor shortages: https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/healthcare/our-insights/the-physician-shortage-isnt-going-anywhere

with more deregulation this would lead to fasting and cheaper and freer schooling and more freedom to enjoy being a doctor

Without this, being a doctor becomes unenjoyable basically, as well as other essential jobs like lawyer, engineer, and so on

On the other hand, being an "influencer" could be basically like being an activist or teacher or writer, making use of social media

This can be very profitable and give people freedom to create and make a greater impact actually than some traditional professions (especially due to their overregulation)

Naturally though some "influencing" is not as productive and is akin to simply being a celebrity; which young people have often wanted to be in the past, as another person also comments

So basically you have both a bunch of traditional necessary jobs are circling the drain in becoming more unenjoyable and unprofitable, along with "influencing" seeming more profitable and enjoyable in contrast

The solution seems to be simple deregulation of schooling and industries in these kinds of businesses, but as this continues to not happen, these alternatives like "influencing" seem even more attractive

So I'd expect influencing to become even more attractive as time goes on and for less people to sign up for these traditional career pursuits, possibly until the boomers start to go out of power and shortages become worse enough until deregulation is forced to correct the industries and schooling?

yeah, I wonder about "counterfactual" ("what if") stuff like that from time to time

the "freakanomics" people have tried to argue that without abortion there would be more criminals alive since a lot of abortions tend to be more from working class people (?)

this naturally ignores many unknown technologies and developments that could have been created that could have dramatically changed the world too though, or relationships created and so on
