Dear Human,
I’ll be sending a mid-week newsletter with a few ideas and bits of content from around the web.

I only want you here if you want to be here.
What is the difference between bacteria and viruses?
Bacteria are single-celled free-living organisms.
Viruses are a non-living collection of molecules that needs a host to survive.
Your human body contains trillions of microorganisms (bacteria) outnumbering your human cells 10 to 1.
Though by total weight, they make up 1-3% of your total weight.
Without them, you die.
Boycott these companies
Here is a list of companies requiring their employees to get this experimental gene therapy (not a vaccine) to keep their job.
Complete insanity to require a medical procedure to get or keep a job.
This has NOTHING TO DO with whether you want to get this for yourself or not.
This is about freedom and the right to choose.
To threaten a person’s livelihood to force them to undergo a medical procedure (remember, this is not even a vaccine), is ABSOLUTE TYRANNY just like vaccine passports are.
A scientific concept: Falficiation
The Falsification Principle, proposed by Karl Popper, is a way of demarcating science from non-science. It suggests that for a theory to be considered scientific, it must be able to be tested and conceivably proven false. For example, the hypothesis that "all swans are white" can be falsified by observing a black swan.”
If you can’t replicate a study and if you can’t falsify a theory, it is not fact. Period.
And so much of modern research, especially health-based research, cannot be falsified, and studies are rarely replicated successfully.
Medical History Bit
By the 1500s, syphilis had become a big problem all across Europe. People soon realized that the disease spread through sex. Their understanding went badly wrong, however, when it was decided that the way to get rid of syphilis was to have sex with a virgin.
People believed at the time that those who had syphilis were diseased by their sexual misconduct and virgins possessed a powerful purity. As a result, by the 1800s, people infected with syphilis were having sex with virgins as a cure. The fault in this method soon became apparent when even more people contracted syphilis.
Mercury was also believed to rid people of this pox. They bathed in mercury and rubbed mercury ointments onto their skin, often resulting in death from mercury poisoning. Nevertheless, it was used through the 20th century to cure syphilis, but all it really did was cause tooth loss, nerve damage, and death
What crazy ideas today will be laughed at in the future?
One thing is for sure: it will be many.
Something Financial
You earn dollars, spend dollars, and probably calculate your net worth in dollars.
Yet every month the government prints more dollars.
This means that your earning power GOES DOWN.
This means your net worth GOES DOWN.
And it means that whatever gains you think you have in real estate, stock market, etc., is actually just rising to match inflation and in some cases, it doesn’t even beat it.
The fiat dollar pyramid scheme is the greatest scam ever to infect humanity. And 99.999% of humans have no idea they are willing participants.
Learn how it works. Study inflation, history of money, fiat, etc.
Learn how Bitcoin is your best protection
Then convert fiat into assets as much as possible to protect yourself and your family.
