Every culture develops a way to deal with bullshit. Recent C.R.A.P. Framework is a bullshit way to address bullshit. Russians usually dismiss bullshit by calling the source of bullshit an idiot. It’s fast and efficient. Quote is triple layer with threads in each. /1
We now have memes. Some cultures develop whole characters to mock and teach you to deal with bullshit through anecdotes. Meet Nasreddin Hodja, a Sufi philosopher and satirist. Read Nasreddin stories to learn the ways to deal with onslaught of bullshit we face in the USSA. /2 Image
You don’t need a study or a pulse oximeter to know that breathing through a mask isn’t normal. No matter how many studies tell you it’s ok. /3
This anecdote adequately mocks the compulsion to believe in science and forsake your senses./4 Image

On daily bread.

Eating is passive. You don’t want to be passive. First step - figure out what food is. Once you know what food is, hopefully you will refuse to eat garbage.

In case of bread - flour, water, salt, yeast. /1
My (maternal) Grandmother ate bread with each meal, a small half piece of a slice. Upon seeing her eat bread with pasta my father would lament “Mom, you are eating bread with bread”. Grandmother remained unperturbed. /2
For Russians and Ukrainians bread is holy. You don’t throw it on the ground. Bread is the staff of life (Russian literal head of everything). /3 Image

This is part of a BRILLIANT thread.

The discrepancy is the following. Scientists quantify the importance of things. People have the power of their authority to decide what is important. /1
By looking around I can see that at some point some experts decided what is trivial and what is not. It doesn’t look good.

It is good for each to retain our own mental faculties to assign importance of disturbing what is a default and the strength of effect. /2
Modern medicine is mitigation of side effects from disturbing biological default states. It is an uncontrolled experiment on people influenced by delusion of grandeur and control. /3

Two ways to make a diagnosis: one more in line with the traditional role of the physician, the other adapted to modern healthcare demands—are at odds with one another /1 alertandoriented.com/whats-a-diagno…
When you learn how concepts such as diagnosis or a definition of disease change over time, you understand how people may manipulate you and your reality. Then you can agree or deny what is done to you. /2
For example, to collect payment from an insurance physician codes your condition as chronic pain because what you feel or experience meets criteria of a chronic pain. /3

After a day of thinking I concluded that my perspective was shaped by my family, place (USSR) and time. By the time I was a teenager my worldview on medicine was cemented. /1
Personal experience with medicine was a major factor. How my family dealt with health and illness. I was born with a heart defect and was a very sickly child with an impressive medical record and three hospitalizations including a TB hospital. /2
The summer I got accepted into the university I dodged my fourth hospitalization on suspicion of diphtheria. In no uncertain terms with a raging fever of 103F (over 39C) I told my mother that if admitted, I would crawl home naked if needed. /3

A toad can die of light! Death is the common right of toads and men. Why swagger then? /1
A parasite of humans that extinguished us altogether, would quickly be laid to rest in human graves. The race between predator and prey remains exquisitely neck and neck. /2
We and our vermin all blossomed together out of the same humid soil...Five million years is a long partnership. /3

An example of confining argument within boundaries of meaninglessness. Life in this context reminds me of Nikolai Gogol’s “Dead Souls”. A soul was a count measure of serfs (slaves). /1
Dead souls were serfs that died but were still counter in property registers. The use of life in coronavirus population medicine serves a similar purpose. Nobody cares about individual people and their death and meaning of death in context of their stage in life. /2
The primary purpose is manipulation of statistical entities. Years of life lost. Lives lost. Death excess. Hypothetical theoreticals. /3
