This one, I believe. I have been taking vitamin D supplements since March 2020. There is also a strong relationship between the regions of the world with low sun exposition and the COVID virus propagation.

>>> “The trial included 76 patients with COVID-19 pneumonia. Although this is no longer the standard of care, all patients were treated with hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin and, when needed, a broad-spectrum antibiotic. ”

A good thing I never heavily invested in Github. The only fact that it belongs to Microsoft now is enough, for me, to try boycotting them. It might be a good way to look at some of a developer’s code but this article will show you why it is not such a good idea.

A good explanation of our misconception of anarchist. Most of us are, without knowing it. Most people would behave well, without anything to be forced to.

We need to read between the lines because they have the data but they do not really conclude. With the data, they can’t lie anymore.

I think it is all dependent on the trust you have about the entity providing the vaccine. Personally, I do not trust the WHO and Bill Gates. If somebody would show up and be completely transparent about his vaccine, I might be tempted to get it.

I think the basic theory behind the vaccine is solid. The application, on the other hand is not. We hear horror stories about bad applications of vaccines. These stories might be true or not, the simple fact that they are believable is enough to throw some doubts on the whole process.

Even with a good theory, vaccines are still an expression of our arrogant pretension about being smarter than nature (insert God here if you want).

Somehow, we feel the urge to intervene in natural processes. We might be fighting a virus or microbe on a plague with some vaccine but who’s to say that we are not simply postponing the problems. Maybe we are weakening the population by inoculating some peoples against some disease.

How are we certain that the vaccine has exactly the same effect that a natural immunization would have?

We can’t.

Nobody can.

We do not know enough. We will never will.

We can only know more, with time. We will never know everything. That is impossible.

We are heading to a GSM, Grand Solar Minimum. We are just finishing cycle 24 and now about to start cycle 25. This winter 2020-2021 will be very bad, then we will have a break up to 2026.

This is why we have extremely hot days and it is reinforcing the global warming agenda. Have you noticed that Global warming has changed to Global changes recently? Maybe we can all forget about the warming claims.

>>> “When solar activity is HIGH the jet stream is tight and stable and follows somewhat of a straight path. But when solar activity is LOW that meandering band of air flowing 6 miles above our heads becomes weak and wavy–it effectively buckles which diverts frigid Polar air to atypically low latitudes and replaces it with warmer tropical air.”

It is supposed to be getting warmer, not colder. Maybe ice is building up under pressure from warm temperatures…

She is a specialist on the subject. I think we will still have a warmer period for the next 5-6 years and then it will start to get very cold.

>>> “Currently, the Sun has completed solar cycle 24 – the weakest cycle of the past 100+ years – and in 2020, has started cycle 25. During the periods of low solar activity, such as the modern grand solar minimum, the Sun will often be devoid of sunspots. This is what is observed now at the start of this minimum, because in 2020 the Sun has seen, in total, 115 spotless days (or 78%), meaning 2020 is on track to surpass the space-age record of 281 spotless days (or 77%) observed in 2019. However, the cycle 25 start is still slow in firing active regions and flares, so with every extra day/week/month that passes, the null in solar activity is extended marking a start of grand solar minimum.”

Another mystery and this one seems to be tied to the diminishing sunspots.

>>> “The light is “nightglow.” We have it here on Earth, too, where it’s called “airglow.” During the day, ultraviolet radiation from the sun breaks apart compounds in the upper atmosphere. At night, the atoms reassemble, glowing as they put themselves back together again. On Earth, airglow looks like the aurora borealis; people can actually see it. On Mars, the emission is ultraviolet, invisible to the human eye.”

To my knowledge, the earliest sign of “Civilisation” falls around 8500 years ago. These scientists are excavating some statues that were made between 20000 and 45000 years ago. Is it possible that these people who were living at that time, were civilized in another manner? Creating a statue seems pretty civilized to me.

I spent my whole youth dreaming about space and its possibilities. The adventure, the discoveries, the science, were all attractive to me. Today, I still think that space is our “next frontier”, but I do not think that human beings are designed to live in it.

We are also not designed to live on other planets. We have too much of our  DNA  invested on the planet Earth.
Maybe, someone might be able, one day, to prove that human beings were “planted” on earth, but in the meantime, I will keep the opinion that we are not meant to live somewhere else.

The job seems perfect for AI and robots though. We should focus on doing our exploration with robots. There is no need to take big risks and sometimes, at some tasks, robots can do a better job.

We are still in control of robots and we will always be. I am not afraid of that. We might experience some bumps but we will prevail, only because we have creative reason and the power to think about our thinking, one level higher, ad infinitum.

This is interesting. I will move South for this 2020-2021 winter. My two favorites countries are Cuba and Mexico. This winter will be the worst of cycle 24, then we should have a break for about 5 to 7 years and then it will go down cycle 25 it looks very very bad from then on.

I think that the best sustainable use of land is not to try to do better than nature or god, or the universe. We are not smart enough to do better with the land than the land will do, by itself, in a natural way.

We think that we can control the land to suit our needs better, but we are only satisfying our immediate needs at the price of abusing that same land.

Who is to say that using a million acres for soya is better than the forest that was there?

Who is to say that raising a million cows is better than the buffalo that was there before and without fences?

In America, instead of conquering the natives, we should have adopted their way of life and respect nature better. If you use your brain right, it should be easier to hunt/trap as a system of sustenance than farming.

Like they say when men are fishing; The white man looks for fish, the aboriginal looks for ducks (and finds fishes underneath).

That’s it, take some hypothesis, suppositions, assumptions, and present it as truth enough to make an article out of it.

This article is stupid and made to attract weak minds and strong minds that were prevented to evolve.

It is not because the “conservationists” are against some optimally efficient way to gather food that is in itself a bad thing. They are not god. They do not know everything. They can be wrong about their most precious belief.

We are evolving/mutating and we should not be thinking like we were thinking a hundred years ago.

The real problem here, as I see it, is the media that propagate basic ideas too quickly. The media will take a statistical study and expand it as truth and we all fall for it.

Lately, every time I eat chicken, I do not feel very well. I tend to eat it only when I really miss it. My own consumption has dropped down to about 1 pound per month.

I have heard of people who have started to feed chicken outdoors and exclusively with scrap and absolutely no grains. I find it a good idea.

I do think that grains are bad for consumption. I do not find it natural to consume grains.

Plants are using grains to procreate. Would you have the best protection for your children? I know I would, and I suspect that plants have also put some special poisons in seeds to protect them.

This article have good information about the chicken industry.

>>> “Chicken consumption exploded. In the mid-1920s the average American ate about 14 pounds per year. Between 1976 and 1989 per capita consumption rose by 50 percent. By 1980 that average American was eating roughly 35 pounds of chicken per year. By 1995: more than 50 pounds. 2001: 82 pounds. In 2016, according to the USDA, it was up to nearly 92 pounds.”

There is something very interesting about vitamin D.

We should encourage more studies about this vitamin. I would prefer studies that do not involve statistics.

There is a lot to observe about this vitamin. For example, people living in northern countries, like myself, tend to get more sick during the winter when there is a lack of vitamin D production because of the indirect light source from the sun and the shortening of the daylight.

We should be careful to make conclusions on these observations alone.

I still believe that trapping is a better way to hunt and provide food from wildlife.

Fishing, even with a single line, is a form of trapping. Even with active hunting, the hunter has to use some kind of food source that the prey uses.

It seems to me, that passive trapping, where the hunter is not present, is a better use of the hunter’s time.

I do not think there has been any civilization, in the past, that was as advance as we are now.

They may have evolved differently and had a different culture/society, but some pieces of evidence is showing that there was never a period long enough in the past to ensure some evolution like the one we are experiencing now.

Most of the time, this planet was frozen with some very short periods of warmth.

>>> “In the long trajectory of humanity over the last 250,000 years on earth, one is forced to ask questions relating to the cyclical nature of civilization and technology. Given that we only possess some notion of a history of civilization going back some 12 thousand years, it raises the subject of how many times humanity has ‘risen and fallen’, and in which different ways it has done so. In this age, the age of machines where empirical knowledge is the beginning and end of our science, we are asked to look back. “

This is interesting. I already have a hard time eating ‘prepared food’ (who knows what they put in there!!), and somebody wants to convince me to directly inject me with something ‘prepared’. I don’t think so.

They will never tell us exactly what is inside those injections. They will probably invoke some sort of security reason to avoid revealing the content of those things.

You can say a lot of things about Mr. Trump, but he has a way to avoid being silenced.

The smartest thing a person can do is not to look smart. That will always make your opponents underestimates you.

If you go to a car mechanic stating everything you ‘think’ your car has a problem with, then he already sold you on very expensive repairs. If you enter the shop saying “It is just a little toc-toc, then the shop will be very cautious about selling you an expensive repair like a new motor or transmission.

We have spent millions of years eating something different than agricultural products. Maybe our bodies are not accustomed to something drastically different.

I was not aware that the vagus nerve would have ramifications up to the ears and that it is possible to stimulate it through the ears.

With some researches, it is well accepted that the stimulation of the vagus nerve will bring a lot of benefits to a human body. Those benefits include less anxiety, more attention focus, better imagination, etc.

Of course, all those benefits are tied to the learning process.

Vagus nerve stimulation is often achieved through controlled respiration like in yoga, some martial arts, meditation, and relaxation sessions, etc.
