Here I describe a brief overview of how the Pfizer/BioNTech or Moderna mRNA vaccines work. Taking a vaccine is one’s personal choice, and I hope this video can help someone make that decision rooted in science.


When you ask somebody why they did something, you are essentially asking them to lie. The conscious self does not have 'free will' over the self's actions and so can only post-rationalize any intentions. Any answer should begin with "..may be because" instead of "..because I".


Finally some good news! I hope more people follow these clear thinkers. It will help us be curious, be intellectually honest, and bring balance to the force!

I'm very happy to see that many centrist voices on Twitter appear to be gaining floods of new followers lately. I think more and more people are finally coming around to the fact that something appears very off with current "Social Justice" narratives & their proposed solutions.



Great podcast. Would love to read the book. I have to say though it does sound like @sapinker already covered a lot of this ground in #TheBlankSlate almost 20 years ago!

To end racism is we need to make interracial marriage a norm. Affirmative action can give free education for life, to all children of interracial couples. Same race couples have taken the easy way out. Society owes it to interracial couples, who are a leading edge against racism.


What's are the odds? No seriously, what are the odds?

In 2006 a virology lab reported experimental insertion of a furin site that produced a big jump in the ability of the altered virus to infect human cells. There insert was at precisely the same location in the genome as the furin site in SARS-CoV2.

The mind boggles at the implications!!

Testing showed DNA in the bone marrow transplant patient’s blood was replaced by his donor’s. No surprise there. But over time cells all over his body had donor DNA. The DNA in his semen had been ENTIRELY replaced by his donor’s. nytimes.com/2019/12/07/us/…
