요즘처럼 누군가 "현대의학은 음모"라고 트윗질하면, 헬스카레 허현회라는 이름 석 자를 이야기 안할 수 없다.

"의사를 믿지 말아야 할 72가지 이유", "병원에 가지 말아야 할 81가지 이유" 같은 책을 쓰고 "담배가 건강에 해롭다는 것은 음모", "성병은 면역체계가 정상이면 쉽게 회복된다", "세균이 바글대는 계곡물을 마시면 면역력이 빨리 회복된다" 이딴소리하면서 현대의학 무용론 펼치던 작자임. 그 중 건강한 카레 먹으면 관절염 치료된다고 했는데 알고보니 Health Care를 "건강한 카레"로 오역한거였다는 게 한국 사이비의학 역사에서 전설적인 에피소드임.
결국 어찌됐냐고? 55세에 현대의학으로 관리 가능한 당뇨와 폐결핵으로 사망. 아이러니하게도 지병이 악화되자 의료기관을 찾았지만, X선·CT·MRI 등 검사와 현대의약품 처방은 끝까지 거부하면서 한방병원을 전전하다 요양원에서 이승굳바이. 그놈 말 듣고 병원에 가지 않았다가 가족이 암으로 사망했다는 피해 사례도 있었을 정도로 민폐였고 끝까지 폐결핵 전파하면서 민폐끼침.

의학을 부정하는 사람이 의학이 치료할 수 있는 병으로 죽은거니 이보다 명확한 교훈은 없다고 봄
이게 우리나라 이야기라는 게 사실이냐고?

The claim that this policy (which is not a ban) is discriminatory is either trivial, or both false and racist.
It's trivial in the sense that, of course the policy is discriminatory. It discriminates, rightly and fairly, against males in female sport. ...
... Discrimination, in this sense, is a neutral term, meaning that one group is treated differently from another group. And often that is right. People who have passed their driving test are treated differently to people who have not when it comes to ...
... the legal right to drive on the public highway.

But I think @TheCanaryuk is making a different, and false claim. That claim is, plausibly, racist, and I'm a bit sick of pseudo-leftists engaging in it. I think its time to push back ...

La voie de l'épée : Face à l'autre révolution dans les affaires militaires.
C'est toujours mieux de lire le texte en entier, d'autant plus qu'il fait à peine de plus de trois pages mais voici un résumé pour lecteur pressé.
1. Le modèle militaire israélien est un modèle occidental ou soviétique classique type Seconde Guerre mondiale amélioré :
- Force terrestre mécanisée + petite FT légère/ commando + Force aérienne Air et Attaque au sol
Syrie et Egypte comprennent que leurs armées fondées sur ce même modèle avec l'aide soviétique ont du mal à rivaliser.
2. A partir de juin 1982 les pays arabes - bientôt imités par l'Iran - admettent que le modèle classique israélien dopé par les Nouvelles technologies de l'information et de la communication (NTIC) soit ce que l'on appelle à l'époque Révolution dans les affaires militaires (RAM, RMA en anglais) est désormais imbattable.
- Le ciel sera aux Israéliens et à plus forte raison aux Américains, s'ils viennent.
- De ce fait, et parce que les Forces terrestres ennemies aussi ont beaucoup progressé, toute manœuvre classique au sol est vouée à l'échec.
Il faut trouver un autre modèle, faire aussi sa révolution.

Have US Presidents, the DOJ/FBI, and the military conspired to silence whistleblowers by planting spyware and/or CP on their computers? A thread (🧵)

Remember when @SharylAttkisson went on @FoxNews to say her computer was compromised by government spyware?

@SharylAttkisson @FoxNews Attkisson had been reporting on @BarackObama “Fast and Furious” gunwalking debacle, which resulted in the murder of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry on December 15, 2010.

Kirkegaard and I have published a meta-analysis of race differences in intelligence within the United States. The best estimate for the average IQ of an American black person is 82. Image
It's often been thought that black people vary less in intelligent than whites. That's not impossible, but probably not true. There is a slight tilt towards lower variance, but there are several studies where black people have higher variance. Image
I am of the mind that the black IQ increased by a few points in the mid 20th century, based on evidence from the GSS/Murray's study. Lynn's data and SAT/ACT data find that American Asians have gotten more intelligent over time, probably due to selection. Otherwise, little change. Image

Najib Razak has been ordered to repay SRC International US$1.18 billion, along with an additional US$120 million allegedly transferred into his personal bank account.

The KL High Court ruled that Najib breached his fiduciary duties, citing overwhelming evidence including financial records, fund flows, and his own admissions.

🧵1Image
In his ruling, Judge Ahmad Fairuz dismissed the defence’s objections to redacted banking documents as speculative and unsupported by evidence.

He said witness testimony and documentary records consistently traced the US$120 million to Najib’s bank account ending in "694".

🧵2
"The defence claims that the prime minister, in his capacity as finance minister, did not monitor his own bank accounts.

"If he did not manage or monitor the accounts, it raises the question of how he could have formed any belief regarding the source of the funds," he said.

🚨BREAKING: A Stanford decision science professor called "Thinking, Fast and Slow" the most misread book in business.

Posted in a faculty newsletter at 11pm.

Everyone quotes System 1 and System 2. Almost nobody applies the actual decision frameworks.

Here are the 7 mental models Kahneman buried in part 4 that changed how I make every decision:Image
First — why Part 4 specifically.

Everyone reads the first half of the book.

System 1 is fast and emotional. System 2 is slow and rational. You have biases. Very interesting.

Then they close it and go back to making the same decisions they always made — just with better vocabulary for why they went wrong.

Part 4 is where Kahneman stops describing how humans think and starts prescribing how to think better.

It's called "Choices."

It's the least discussed section of the most discussed psychology book of the last 20 years.

The Stanford professor's point was simple:

The people who quote this book most confidently are the ones who stopped reading before it got useful.

Here's what they missed.
1/ The Reference Point Trap

Every decision you make is evaluated relative to a reference point.

Not relative to objective reality. Relative to whatever you've mentally anchored as the baseline.

Kahneman's finding: the reference point is almost always arbitrary — and almost always determines the outcome more than the actual options do.

The salary negotiation you lost wasn't lost on the number. It was lost when you accepted their opening offer as the reference point instead of your own research.

The investment you held too long wasn't held because of the fundamentals. It was held because you anchored to the price you paid and couldn't accept realizing the loss.

The practical move: before any significant decision, write down what reference point you're currently using — then ask who set it and whether you would have chosen it deliberately.

Almost every anchoring problem dissolves the moment you make the anchor visible.

日韓併合前の朝鮮の人々
基本的にこの国の為政者は多くの人々が生活するのに必要なインフラを整えるという考えが乏しかったようである。もちろん道路も舗装されておらず、上下水道設備もない。荒川五郎によると、この国では雨が降ると人々は働かなかったという。
shibayan1954.com/history/meiji/…Image
Image
驚くようなことが他にもいろいろ書かれているのだが、同様な記述はイザベラ・バードの『朝鮮紀行』にも出ているので、荒川が書いていることに間違いはないだろう。このような生活は特に貧しい地域に特有であったわけでもなく、首都の京城(けいじょう:ソウル)でも同様であったようだ。洗濯や炊事は小川で行っていたようだが、なぜ井戸を掘らなかったのかと考えてしまう。掘っても雨が降れば砂に埋もれてしまうからなのだろうか。

人々がこんな生活をしているなかで、日本が朝鮮の近代化に取り組むようになると、どのような反応をしたかが興味深い。Image
Image
Image
荒川五郎が朝鮮半島を視察したのは明治三十八年(1905年)の夏から秋にかけてであるが、この頃には日本人の手により交通網が整備されていたようだ。例えば海運では日本郵船会社、大阪商船会社など数社が朝鮮の港に支店や出張所を設けて、定期の航海を為していたという。では陸路ではどうであったか。 Image

🚨 BREAKING: New satellite analysis suggests Iran may have moved a large portion, possibly all, of its highly enriched uranium (HEU) to a fortified underground site in Isfahan just before strikes in 2025.

This is revealed in an analysis published in Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists @BulletinAtomic authored by François Diaz-Maurin on March 29, 2026.
[Link at the end of the thread]

If confirmed, this changes the strategic picture entirely.

Image: High-resolution satellite image of a truck with containers at Isfahan tunnel entrance.

1/10 🧵Image
2/10

The imagery shows a heavy transport truck carrying 18 shielded containers, consistent with nuclear material transport systems.

Experts assess the cargo could include hundreds of kilograms of enriched uranium - enough to alter nuclear timelines.

Image: Annotated satellite image highlighting containers and tunnel entrance.Image
3/10

Why this matters:

Uranium enriched to ~60% is already near weapons-grade.

From there, it can be pushed to ~90% - usable for a nuclear weapon - in days to weeks, not years.

This is the difference between program and capability.Image

1/ Russians are facing an 'internet tax', reportedly imposed by a secret decree from Vladimir Putin, of 150 rubles ($1.84) for each gigabyte of VPN traffic they use. This is being seen by commentators as a new way of suppressing Telegram's 100 million users in Russia. ⬇️ Image
2/ The BBC Russian Service reports that the FSB has told the Ministry of Digital Development to impose a tax on every gigabyte of VPN traffic after an initial 15 Gb. The FSB wants to discourage Russians from connecting to foreign VPN servers to access resources blocked in Russia.
3/ The tax is due to be put into force by 1 May 2026, despite the opposition of the Ministry of Digital Development and public criticism. It's a stark indication of how the security establishment (the 'siloviki') has become the dominant player in the Russian government.

1/x So a lot of people are talking about the "shipping route" in the Strait of Hormuz. What exactly are those shipping routes? On the charts, you can see a magenta-coloured area. This is a TSS or traffic separation scheme. A small 🧵 Image
2/x What is a TSS, and where do we find them? First, it should be said that TSS are only used in high-traffic areas. Elsewhere, the navigator is free to plan his route, taking into account fuel, time, weather, obstacles, hazards, etc.
3/x You will therefore not find a TSS in the open Atlantic or Pacific. Ships are free to sail wherever they want. Of course, the options are limited when sailing between point A and B, so you will see that almost “natural” shipping routes develop. Image

'Miksi menetimme luottamuksen'

- Nostoja korona- aikaa taltioineen Justin Hartin hienosta artikkelista höystettynä ajoittain suomenkielisillä lisämateriaali- optioilla - 🧵

2/

Artikkelin konteksti:

Vastine The Atlanticin kirjoittajan kyseiseen postaukseen 👉

3/

Ja tämä koko asettelu kuvaa mielestäni erästä keskeistä ongelmaa: Keskusnarratiivi on jo vuosia voivotellut sitä, että "luottamus instituutioihin on murenemassa". Tämä on ollut jopa itsenäisyyspäivän vastaanoton teemanakin.

Tuohon kertomukseen on kiinteästi myös nivottu ajatus siitä, että syy on kriitikoissa. Lähtökohtaisesti koko ajatus ei toimi oikeassa demokratiassa, jossa läpinäkyvyys ja tilivelvollisuus ovat oletuksia ja yleisön / kansalaisen yksi tehtävä on pitää instituutioita suorassa.

Totta kai - etenkin nykyisessä informaatioympäristössä myös yhteiskuntakritiikki voidaan aseistaa, mutta samoin voidaan myös sen tuomitseminen. Avain onkin siinä, onko kritiikki totuudenmukaista ja aiheellista vai ei. Avoin julkinen keskustelu kaikista vaikeistakin asioista paljastaisi myös sen, missä määrin kritiikki on perätöntä.

Uutisoinnin yksipuolisuus, sensuuri ja epämiellyttävän kritiikin ja narratiivien leimaaminen jo lähtökohtaisesti "vihollistoiminnaksi" ja "hyökkäykseksi hybridi- sodankäynnissä" on kuitenkin jo tuhonnut edellytykset aitoon julkiseen keskusteluun ja siten myös systeemi, jossa nyt elämme on käytännössä jotain muuta kuin edes näennäisesti kansanvaltaa. Se on totalitarististen agendojen perään valjastettu demokratian kulissi, jossa on kuori muttei sisältöä.

@justin_hart vastaa artikkelissaan kysymykseen, miksi usko on mennyt. Esimerkkinä hän käyttää koronaa.

Also from me this morning - fascinating new research by @tobiasgehrke / @TGehrke_ showing the power and costs of Europe's economic weaponry for escalating things with China

The message: if the fragile US-China truce fails, the EU needs to "learn to fight for itself" Image
Image
@TobiasGehrke @TGehrke_ New research puts EU leverage in buckets:

1. Chinese exports: tightening ASML screw could hit China hard, but draw major retaliation

Licensing, withholding software updates or more export controls on machine tools would hit Made in China priorities, but blowback vs Germany Image
Image
@TobiasGehrke @TGehrke_ Putting the squeeze on aircraft such as slow-walking safety reviews for C919, restricting maintenance would damage Beijing's efforts to wean off Boeing & Airbus, but also kibosh juicy sales in China

Other sectors to target on EU export side: MedTech, chemicals, marine engines Image

🔴 LATEST: SANRAL's new draft policy would require private roadside businesses to meet race-based ownership and hiring targets.

This includes petrol stations, restaurants and roadside shops.

Here's what it’s demanding 🧵Image
Background

SANRAL's Draft Policy for Rest and Service Facilities requires petrol stations, restaurants, truck stops, and roadside shops near national roads to comply with SANRAL's Transformation Policy.

The Transformation Policy is an internal procurement document.
The Draft Policy requires private businesses on private land to comply, even when they don't contract with SANRAL, don't spend public money, and supply no product or service to SANRAL.
