    Incidentally:
    So, one of the many issues I didn’t get around to yelling at you about was the line between ‘genetic disorder’ and an individual’s unique features. I’ve mentioned before I’m more or less blind in one eye and this is almost definitely a result of a mutation in my family line. And you know, given the option, I’m not sure if I’d have it removed. Or, I’d need to give it a very, very long think.
    There are plenty of lovely and bizarre anomalies specific to individuals, and it’s not for me to say - or even speculate really - where the line should be drawn when it comes to one day potentially making alterations to our descendants. I’m not a public educator, philosopher, scientist, or policy maker. Just an idiot with a USB microphone. I’m not the person to talk about this stuff. So I hope you’ll forgive my glossing over of it.

It is often used to refer to someone who is intentionally disrespectful, mean-spirited, selfish, or lacks empathy towards others. The term is considered vulgar and impolite in most contexts, and its usage was generally discouraged in formal or polite conversations.

    I hadn't watched this in a long time but it used to make me feel serene and calm, especially towards the end.
    At the beginning of this year I started HRT and I felt a bit down today so I decided to watch some old feel good videos. As the end of the video came along I found myself erupting into tears in a way I can't remember doing since I was a kid. It served as a reminder in what have been difficult personal times that we don't know the future, and a lot is uncertain, but there is always bloody-minded determined optimism and that is a very powerful thing.
    Thank you.

    I believe that misery, like all other mental states regardless needs to exist. When the time comes for humanity to modify itself, a little bit of misery still has to remain.
    How can you know happiness without experiencing sadness? By the same token, how can you be content, without first experiencing misery?

      But, yes, i will occasionaly know something about medicine better than a medical professional with much more than a full decade of medical expertise.Being in a field doesnt make you omniscient about it.

      What do medical professionals even have to do with this? Im talking to some randos on the Internet. I havent attacked anyone and no, im not "smarter" (whatever exactly you mean by that, thats a fairly unspecific term) than anymone, never said i am.
      As for intelligence though, ive been tested when i was in a psychological clinic. All i can say is that the IQ test they did only goes to 130 and its above that.
      But thats got nothing to do with intelligence, a medical professional isnt neccessarily intelligent. Hes just supposed to roughly know enough about medicine to send you to the expert thats able to help you for the most part. If im a cancer patient, ill for sure know more about cancer and my situation than a psychologist, if i suffer lifelong clinical depression ill sure know more about that than an oncologist. Like how arrogant are you to assume omniscience of anyone?

      Eventually, like flat earth believing people, they gradually diminished, thanks to the evolution, who took care of those who opted for no vaccines and were eventually isolated from the society, because of the risks they represented, or the human knowkedge of generations, who by achieving more knowledge, got better and greater scientific knowledge and abandoned old superstisions based on their shadows of fear, which they discovered, were nothing at all.

      good news, you CAN actually watch a video more than once one YT. I have personally watched my favorite videos of this guy over ten times.
