“There are no magic words that can help you figure out how to be an activist” #TEDTalks

There are cures for most if not all diseases, except for greed.

@ansel_alethe French pharmaceutical industry is not greedy? That’s hard to believe.

@richard5830 No, I think it was a reference of the France revolution where they killed all the nobility: that’s the resolution implied :’)

@Fen@FenrirShadow wouldn’t make sense to compare the French Revolution in this context. The reply was more likely based on a reference to the traditionalist French culture.

There are certainly drugs already that fixes anxiety and some can even prevent wars by reducing narcissism and disgust in leaders. There is probably even a drug that makes you less greedy too. But they still won’t take it or fund it because they’re intrinsically evil and want the world to be in constant conflict rather than resolution. “Pure Evil” always fascinates me

Unless an emergency, no medicine is best. Good nutrition is the best medicine, no side effects.

Job security. I retired from an R-1 university, and I remember one researcher who was trying to get a grant for alzheimer’s research saying if he got it, that would be 20 years of job security. The problem is we don’t coordinate all the research on a particular problem with specific goals in mind. We have islands of research that serve themselves and are competitive with others instead of working together. The Chinese get it, and it’s why they are starting to pull ahead in many areas.
