@spoonfulofhan Just go to my pprofile and search the term 'doctor' or 'doctors' and you see I am not just a doctor sympathises, basically everything I say is negative, but I know somethings are not them but everything else.

@spoonfulofhan Agree to disagree. The imbalance of practicality and system restraints, along with the causal explanations for why on either side presents a very strong imbalance. I am not doubting you have important things to do. But it doesn't really apply to the context of what I said.

Doctors will make you wait two hours in the waiting room, but if you’re 20 minutes late, you have to reschedule and pay a fee

I’m deeply fascinated by the concept of being the first appointment of the day at the doctors office and them still taking 20 minutes to see you
English
@lpelfpaw @spoonfulofhan I really dont think there is much we can do about it. Seeing less people does not fix the problem, just makes wait times days and weeks instead of hours on the day.
Its an extremely in-demand service that is also extremely supply constrained. It needs to be rebuilt entirely.
English
@ReddDrift @spoonfulofhan and yet they still cram in as many appointments as possible in a day instead of having more realistic scheduling
English
@ReddDrift Patients have important things to do, too and can’t always afford to wait two hours
English
We should make sure that the families of patients who die preventable deaths can sue insurance companies for denying care.
If the insurance company says something isn’t medically necessary, and it leads to the death of a patient, they should be able to be sued. Full Stop.

@NapoleonBonabot Optimally, everyone would press red and live but the uncertainty draws people to press blue to protect others which then draws more to press blue knowing that others are doing that and so on.
Thats the mechanism. There is no base logic other than bridging the gap of uncertainty.
English
@NapoleonBonabot And from there, due to this flow on, it no longer becomes only naive dumb people pressing it, but those that worry for their loved ones, because if there is a reasonable chance that person is willing to do that too, you have even more reason to press blue. Its a paradox.
English
>Red: guaranteed survival
>Blue: survival only if enough people press blue
Am I losing my mind? Why do so many people see blue as the favorable option?

Everyone on earth takes a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive. Which button would you press? BE HONEST.

"Oh, criminals are just dumb" is one of those realizations after which everything makes so much more sense

The Bell Curve noted a 13 point IQ differential between incarcerated criminals and those who had never interacted with the law. Young white males with no police contact were found to have an average IQ of 106, while those incarcerated had an IQ of 93.

@tessiesbestie One time, I was second appointment up. Showed up 20mins late. I was in a bad mental spot mental so booked as early as possible. He then questioned me on how bad it really was and told me I was holding up other appointments and to come back tomorrow for a mental health plan...

@tylerblack32 I honestly feel it is very similar to people speaking out against forgiving student debt. The idea that you should put in hard work and suffer to get results, and its not fair if you don't have to when I did. Then its just wrapped in whatever rationalisation.

The discourse on GLP-1 is unhinged.
Science brought a drug that :
⏬cardiovascular events
reverses fatty liver
⏬kidney decline
⏬addictive cravings
⏬all-cause mortality
And the worst, loudest part of the internet decides the real problem is that people are using it.

@engineofgod @sanjehorah If someone was helping them do it, that can be classed as immoral under your framework but them choosing and doing it themself results in a bad decision not an immoral one
I am not saying it IS moral but people often cant explain their beliefs because its actually just a feeling
English
@engineofgod @sanjehorah A bad decision is not an immoral one.
Your arguements are correct, but they dont answer the question about morality.
People have a visceral reaction that it is immoral but are unable to explain why.
Immoral means going against the moral or ethical standards laid out by society
English
pressing the blue button is immoral for the same reason that suicide is immoral
ylareia@Impish_Bunny
i actually think it’s immoral for anyone to press the blue button because you are forcing everyone else into a situation where they have to take on risk of death to protect you from your own decision
English
@runarorama At the individual level yes, but the whole point is you dont know what others press and its unreasonable to assume a perfect 100% vote. This uncertainty drives people to pick blue to try to turn uncertainty into certainty. Thats not the same as removing the penalty.
English
The interesting thing about this red/blue malarkey is that it presents a volunteer's dilemma/assurance game-looking setup, minus any upside. In a true assurance game, cooperation gives everyone some benefit. Here, enough blue presses only remove the penalty that the pressing itself created.
English
Red/blue button variant: Everyone in the world has to take a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If the percentage of people who press blue exceeds an UNKNOWN THRESHOLD, everyone survives. Otherwise, only people who pressed red survive. Which button do you press?
English
@IXianVernius The point is less that all parents will pick blue, but that there is extremely high likelyhood some will, among other types that want to protect those around in uncertainty.
Thats why it is a play on risk of your life or society at large.
English
I know most of you, my dear followers, are more than sick of this discourse, but I'm sorry. I can't not bring this one up too. The incessantness with which this specific argument is invoked is the one detail that actually just confuses me. Like, are they so deep into the characterization of red as just edgy teenagers that they can't possibly imagine a parent that opposes them? Whatever kind of person they think reds are, is it really so hard to imagine that kind of person aging, having children and not changing? Because I assure you, I told my actual, not a hypothetical person, mom about this shit (actually talking to your parents about things. Imagine that.), and her response was, "Well, that sounds stupid. Red obviously."

@ReddDrift The mRNA dosage manufactures proteins inside the body. What number or volume is manufactured?
English
Never heard an answer to this.
It seems even the world's leading experts are comfortable with shrugging this one off.

@DrNeilStone Whats the precise protein dosage of an mRNA vaccine? Total count?
English
@engineofgod @sanjehorah Okay, so and what changes about what I said?
English
@bitcloud You asked the precise protein dosage. I gave the exact weighted dosage of the active spike protein compound a specific mRNA vaccine uses in each dose. I even gave you an approximate count of how many individual protein molecules are in the dosage.
So I need some elaboration.
