Tesla blows past stopped school bus and hits kid-sized dummies in Full Self-Driving tests
I do not understand why anyone would want a full self-driving vehicle. Or even want them on the road. Or how it can be legal. It's insane in so many ways.
There is a never ending supply of irresponsible people out there...

Here's an infection you might want to avoid while you're cosplaying mountain men:
‘Explosive increase’ of ticks that cause meat allergy in US due to climate crisis
The ticks are known to be unusually aggressive and can provoke an allergy in bitten people whereby they cannot eat red meat without enduring a severe reaction, such as breaking out in hives and even the risk of heart attacks. The condition, known as alpha-gal syndrome, has proliferated from just a few dozen known cases in 2009 to as many as 450,000 now.
One of my friends in Seattle had this. It will fuck up your life real good. No steaks. No hamburgers. The only meat she could eat was lamb. That is expensive and hard to find.
'Commercialising concussion': The Australians taking a backyard collision game global
Infection with herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is common, lifelong, and often in a latent state with periodic reactivation. It is a risk factor for neurodegenerative disease and dementia in some individuals, as are repeated head injuries like concussions. Cairns et al. found that latent HSV-1 was reactivated by repeated mechanical injury to mimic concussions in a three-dimensional human brain tissue model. This mechanism triggered the aggregation of β amyloid and other pathological features associated with neurodegenerative diseases...

You are right, the medical system is ineffective. But ignoring infectious disease is the absolute wrong strategy for public health care. Decades of searching for non-communicable causes (diet, toxins, stress, etc.) is the reason you have so many chronic illnesses. Feel free to blame Freud and Psychs, I agree with you they're useless.
Unfortunately, you're also trashing the most important part of medicine: Infection surveillance and prevention.
There are a lot of problematic germs circulating right now, but let me tell you about one you probably already have… Porphyromonas gingivalis is a bacterium that causes chronic gum disease.
RFKJr IS COMPLETELY WRONG. HUMAN VACCINES ARE EXACTLY WHAT IS NEEDED.
The cause of human suffering is microbes. It always has been.
Here’s a good review article:
Here’s my thoughts on the topic:

Nightmares linked to faster biological ageing and early death
"Scary dreams disrupt our sleep and elevate our levels of the stress hormone cortisol, which may have serious consequences for our health over time."
Ummm, NO.
After scream-walking for ten years as a child and a lifetime of nightmares and literally crying in my sleep, I am here to tell you:
High levels of cortisol cause nightmares.
High levels of cortisol are produced during chronic infection.
Now I only dream when I am sick. It's a signal that I need to take care of my mouth, even though I can't feel it.
I would like you to watch some videos. This is "Curvy Girls Boutique".
You should watch at least ten episodes. See what you have done to these women's bodies and brains.
See the dental pathology.
See the Everyday Misery.
See the brittle habenulas you make worse.
See the lives you have destroyed.
Then...
Change your ways.
Stop telling me to lower my cortisol - it's making me stressed!
This fad is fascinating.
Cortisol is a symptom of chronic infection. It is produced when your energy levels are constantly suppressed. All those weird rituals do nothing to alleviate it.
The puffiness you see is "Infection Face". I would guess a lot of it is caused by all that hydrogen peroxide selfie-obsessed people put on their teeth. It makes them white, but destroys the gums.

Men's Dementia Risk May be Doubled by Common Gene Variant
Scientists have now identified a genetic variant that causes male carriers to be twice as likely to develop dementia at some point in their lifetime, compared to non-carriers...
This gene encodes for a protein that helps control the levels of iron in the body. The findings showed that one in three individuals carry one copy of a HFS variant called H63D, and one in 36 individuals carry two copies of this variant. Men who carry two copies of this variant are more than twice as likely to develop dementia, but this was not true for women who carried two copies. The findings have been reported in Neuron.
Fascinating.
The use of iron as a cofactor in basic metabolic pathways is essential to both pathogenic microorganisms and their hosts. It is also a pivotal component of the innate immune response through its role in the generation of toxic oxygen and nitrogen intermediates. During evolution, the shared requirement of micro- and macroorganisms for this important nutrient has shaped the pathogen–host relationship. Here, we discuss how pathogens compete with the host for iron, and also how the host uses iron to counteract this threat.
