As someone with deep respect for surgeons, I think you’re wrong. The reason being, no matter how much experience a single practitioner has, they can’t compete with the combined experience of millions of robots. What I mean by that is, humans share information very slowly compared to computers. Driving is a good example. A human driver might have 10,000 hours of driving time and experience and be an expert. But every self-driving Tesla is currently sharing every experience of every hour on the road with every other Tesla. That quickly becomes billions of hours. I think the same thing is going to happen with medicine and I think that’s a great advancement. Again, with all respect to medical professionals, here is my question to you: If it turns out that robotic surgeons are clearly better than their human forebears, will you support the transition? If that is why is best for humanity?

Elon Musk just told the world to stop training surgeons. Not slow down. Stop. Musk: “There’ll probably be more Optimus robots that are great surgeons than there are all surgeons on Earth.” The entire global surgical workforce. Redundant. Before a current med student finishes residency. “Don’t go to medical school?” Musk: “Yes. Pointless.” Twelve years. Half a million dollars. One word. Optimus does not shake. Does not fatigue. Does not flinch at hour eleven of a twelve-hour operation. It improves every night while the surgeon sleeps. By year four, Musk says he’d stake everything on it. By year five, it is not close. Then came the line that rewrites who medicine has ever belonged to. Musk: “Everyone will have access to medical care that is better than what the president receives right now.” Medicine has always been rationed by wealth. The best surgeons on Earth have always belonged to the powerful. That ends. Completely. Within five years. The machine does not calibrate its precision to your net worth. It does not save its best work for the wealthy. Full capacity, every time, for everyone. One day, choosing a human surgeon over a robot will feel like refusing the anesthesia. Human hands are no longer medicine’s highest standard. The ones who doubted this will understand it the day they need surgery, not a surgeon.

@DrDiGiorgio If your education expenses were treated as a capital expense it could be depreciated and offset against revenue until paid off.

@DrDiGiorgio We need to see data showing the latent physician workforce, fully trained but staying home because of the high marginal tax rate. Other professionals, too. All while carrying student debt. The debt should be offset by reducing taxes until repaid. At least!

According to @AwakenedOutlaw’s information, Canada is “studying” MAiD for children. Children. They want to euthanize CHILDREN. They call them “mature minors.” And PARENTS WOULD HAVE NO SAY. They would be EXCLUDED from the process. This is a half step from Hell.

Thune was elected leader by like-minded senators. The problem is the lot of them and they enjoy six year terms. I wonder if Thune & R senators think about preserving their majority. Without SAVE will they? Something is broken. Their connection to voters is broken. Their donors must have a grip to keep their agenda something other than what we the people desire. I wonder what.

It’s not just fucking Thune. At all. And frankly I’m goddamn sick of hearing just his name dragged out like some lone villain while the rest of the Senate Republican caucus slithers into the shadows. Every single fucking senator who refuses to stand up, cast the vote, and rip the gavel from his hands shares the blood on this betrayal. They know the rules cold...they’ve studied the filibuster’s chokehold, watched Reid and Schumer carve it open with surgical ruthlessness when it suited their side, and understand exactly how a simple majority could install new leadership tomorrow and force a talking filibuster or nuclear-option carve-outs to ram through the SAVE Act, border sovereignty, election integrity, and the rest of the Trump mandate. Yet they choose paralysis. This isn’t prudence. It’s a caucus-wide epidemic of institutional Stockholm syndrome fused with careerist gutlessness. These are men and women psychologically captured by the Senate club...addicted to the narcotic safety of committee gavels, “bipartisanship” theater, and the warm bath of never having to govern with the ferocity their voters demanded. They fear primary challenges, Twitter mobs, and the raw exercise of power far more than they fear failing the country. Vichy Republicans in bespoke suits, performing conservatism while the agenda suffocates under 60-vote theater they’re too cowardly to dismantle. Thune is the visible symptom. The disease is systemic rot...every last one of them who sits on their hands and lets it fester. They are not leaders. They are ornate obstacles. Name them all. Demand they act with lethal will, or watch them be replaced. The polite theater is over. The American people are done waiting and we are fucking pissed off. 💀🗡️⚖️
TraderJill (Leigh)@RealTraderJill

If they do neither then we are cooked. It won't just be Thune's fault. It will fall on the heads of ever cowardly senator who refuse to remove him and put in someone who will actually do something. You get that it's not just on Thune, right? If the other senators won't act to stop him, when they can, his inaction is their fault, too.

@elevin11 @alananewhouse @noam_dworman Hateful bigots are easily recognized, and dismissed by rational people. It’s the‘sneaky Pete’ types that promote an ideology under cover of compassion or fairness that are the most significant threat to society, imo

Erez 🇺🇸 #MakeTaboosTabooAgain 'Holding the Line'
What about "The Free Speech of Hateful Bigots"? There's arguably another equally dangerous mutation that came out of the free speech movement, namely our absolutist resistance to cancel culture. We have allowed for the erosion of our universal moral TABOOS against overt hateful bigotry. This happened slowly over decades, and then rapidly escalated starting on 10/7. Expressing vile bigotry and endorsing violence against innocents was all but guaranteed to result in severe social ostracism before 10/7. Now it's become somewhat normalized, not commonplace, but notable because even when it's only expressed by a tiny fringe, the fact that they don't consistently face those strict social consequences makes it seem like these are now socially acceptable viewpoints to openly express. FWIW, while I respect the hell out of @glukianoff and @TheFIREorg, I think they do a disservice to the nation by promoting an absolutist "free speech culture" POV and refuse to acknowledge that there is a crucial role for society to impose social consequences for the most vile hatred, what cannot be permitted in polite society without seeing that society quickly devolve into open hatred, violence, and anarchy. We cannot defeat their hate with facts and "more speech". The KKK wasn't defeated by reason. We used multiple levers, but one critical one was to make membership socially and economically costly. I understand the harms of cancel culture and the danger of trying to restore these consequences, but I know we can do this in a principled way that mitigates those risks. If we don't, we're all in very big trouble. @Jacob__Siegel

The contemporary free speech movement is dead. Its death is a story about one kind of brokenness producing another kind. As the mainstream press was captured by ideological fads and then egregiously mishandled the reporting around Russiagate and COVID, it fueled the thrilling growth of new media outlets on platforms like YouTube and Substack. A new breed of journalists built large audiences by branding themselves as more independent and discriminating alternatives to the mainstream establishment. But then, those same figures and outlets abandoned the barest shreds of independence and journalistic diligence—becoming something even worse than what they sought to replace. @Jacob__Siegel looks back on how it all went horribly wrong.
Tablet Magazine@tabletmag

The free speech movement, born from distrust in mainstream media and backlash to cancel culture, didn’t just fail. It mutated into the very thing it was supposed to fight, argues @Jacob__Siegel.

@wideawake_media The lesson learned from North Korea is that delaying intervention until after a fringe country has nuclear weapons is a mistake. An enormous blunder.

Tucker Carlson: "The effect of this [war with Iran] will be to radically accelerate [nuclear] proliferation around the world." "Because what's the lesson of what we're doing right now? You'd better have nukes or else you're going to get regime changed." "No one's trying to regime change North Korea because they have nukes." "So the incentive for every small but reasonably wealthy country, as of right now, is get nukes as quickly as you can because you're going to get regime changed if you don't."

The actual number of illegal alien migrants should be ascertained by data analysis and survey. Also the number of legal immigrants on a path to naturalization (citizenship) and those here with valid visas, work permits, and temporary protection as bona fide refugees should be published. As they say, if something isn’t measured, it cannot be managed.

11 million. That’s the official US government estimate for illegals in America. Yes, that’s true. It’s absurd. It’s an insult to our intelligence. The Biden Administration let in more than 11 million alone. If you had to guess how many illegals are in America?

I’m not disagreeing but one significant difference between the social environment then and now is (for many) a drastic decrease in the array of supportive family and friends. In real life not social media. Therapy might be a substitute for something we simply need to cope with ’life’. It’s like “rent-a-friend’

When I was younger, I never heard about anybody going to therapy unless they were a war veteran or victim of some horrific crime. And people were saner and better regulated back then. I'm not convinced modern therapy helps most people. The opposite is possible.

Well, well, well… Was his name really Barack Hussein Obama — or was it Jean Paul Ludwig? Let me explain. After digging through records and old documents, something strange surfaced: the Social Security Number 042-68-4425, the one linked to Barack Obama, was originally assigned to a man named Jean Paul Ludwig — a French-born immigrant who came to the U.S. in 1924. He was reportedly given that SSN in March 1977. Now here’s the kicker: Ludwig spent most of his adult life in Connecticut, which explains why his SSN begins with 042 — a prefix reserved for Connecticut residents. Obama? Never lived or worked in Connecticut. So why would he have a Social Security number tied to that state? It gets even more curious. Ludwig reportedly passed away in Hawaii, where Obama’s grandmother, Madelyn Payne Dunham, just happened to work in the probate office of the Honolulu Courthouse — with access to files of deceased individuals and their personal records, including unused Social Security numbers. The theory is that Ludwig’s death was never properly reported to the Social Security Administration, likely because he never received benefits. That meant his number sat dormant — and accessible. Some believe Dunham may have quietly found a number that belonged to someone long gone — someone not receiving benefits — and handed it off to her grandson, whose citizenship status has long been questioned by skeptics due to connections to Kenya and Indonesia. And that’s just the beginning. If Trump — or anyone else — ever pushes past the birth certificate and straight into the mystery of this SSN, it’s going to be chaos. You’ll see heads spin on the left like never before. Because you can debate birthplaces all day long, but using a Social Security number that wasn’t assigned to you? That’s fraud. This isn’t about politics. This is about the law — and the truth. Let people make their own decisions, but they deserve to know. If you’re reading this and just shrug it off? Then maybe you’re okay with being lied to. But if not, spread the word. Because justice for this country is long overdue. In God We Trust. FOLLOW ME, THE NEXT DROP WILL BE SHOCKING
