Los ingleses tienen 3 cosas de las que mostrarse orgullosos: el té, el whisky y un escritor como yo. Pero resulta que el té es chino; el whisky, escocés; y yo soy irlandés. Oscar Wilde

Duncan Trussell tells Theo Von why the horrifying stuff the algorithm feeds you is not an accident, and explains what it does to your brain. It starts with the phone in your hand. TRUSSELL: "All of us are staring into these hypno-rectangles. The algorithm, at least my algorithm, it's showing me horrible things, people in the midst of psychotic episodes, people in the forest drinking their period blood." VON: "It's crazy dude. They're definitely scrambling our brains. Because you'll see like, genocidal killings of children, right?" VON: "But then immediately it's like 40% off these ASICS. It starts to confuse your brain, because your brain takes the depth of one that's so deep and one that means nothing at all, and puts them all in the same plane." Then Trussell takes it somewhere darker: TRUSSELL: "Public assassinations create trauma. Cultural trauma." TRUSSELL: "Did you notice, the Charlie Kirk assassination, everyone saw it before they shut it down. All of us had to watch that s**t happen. This produces trauma. The trauma response opens you up to conditioning. It's the same thing kidnappers use. It's the same thing people who torture you use. "They freak you the f**k out so that you disassociate. You don't want to be there. You go into a sad, foggy place. And then in that place, they show you the ASICS commercial. In that place, they give you some propaganda. In that place, they give you a solution so this will never happen again. This is a known technique for mind-controlling people." TRUSSELL: "It's not just a power dynamic shift, it's a cultural dynamic shift. Because they inject that moment with however they want to shift the tide." VON: "Wow..." TRUSSELL: "So, Instagram, or any social media, is kind of doing this, but low-level." VON: "Microdosing it." TRUSSELL: "Yeah." Once you see the sequence, you can't unsee it.

Twenty years ago, a blood pressure of 150 over 90 got you told to exercise more and cut the salt. Then the line dropped to 140. Then 130. Now it sits around 120. Nothing changed about the human body. Only the number changed. "You would not believe how often they move the goalposts." That's Alan Cassels, a health policy researcher who has spent decades tracking how disease definitions get written and who writes them. "When you lower the level at which you start treating someone, or telling someone that they're ill or potentially ill from high blood pressure, you expand the massive pool of people that become patients." And the line only ever moves one way. They never redraw a definition in a way that shrinks the pool. Cholesterol is the cleanest example. "Just by lowering the level at which we would consider high cholesterol to be a condition, overnight, they would expand the number of Americans who would be treated for cholesterol lowering drugs by 25 million people." Cassels says the Canadian diabetes guidelines carry conflict-of-interest disclosures that run 15 or 20 pages. "The pharmaceutical companies are very good at putting their own people on guideline committees." You are not diagnosing more disease. You are manufacturing more patients.

Messi's eye was bruised by Xhaka's elbow but didn't dive, dramatize the situation, or even complain. He just continued with the game like normal this is the kind of guy they're trying to villainize
