It still drives me crazy that this was written in 2014
yeah i’m just gonna add the quotes that really struck me:
It’s telling that the latest two more relevant articles I’ve read about digital impact on our lives are not even from last year. Besides the one from 2014, linked above in the reblog, consider also this one from March 2023, that hits pretty hard today. It comes to show that since its public launch, the AI propaganda included a quote of doomerism as part of their selling arguments. “It’s scary how fast you’ll be obsolete, so you better jump on, or be left behind!”
Don’t fall for the “everything is changing so fast” narrative so easily. Indeed, the more patiently we look, the more online culture seems to have stalled in everything but its most superficial aspects. But if you listen very closely, you’ll hear a single thing breaking the silence, this sort of weird, anxious breathing. It comes from the investors and con men who wait for an unprecedented, infinite reward for hyping such a big piece of nothing all this time.
if I had a plasma pistol you wouldn’t hear from me ever again. i would crouch behind highway guardrails and shoot fully charged shots at teslas passing by me
So turns out the US are setting babies up for a lifetime of illness and increased likelihood of liver cancer in Guinea Bissau in the name of “research”
7000 newborns will be denied the neoneatal HepB vaccine until 6 weeks to ‘prove’ that the HepB vaccine is linked to neurodevelopmental disability on the directions of the Department of Health vis RFK Jr and in collaboration with researchers in Denmark, despite the fact that the vaccine’s efficacy rate and best protection is when administered to newborns, and the total lack of correlation between vaccination and neurodevelopmental disabilities.
Guinea Bissau has some of the highest rates of HepB on the continent, and infants are the group at the highest risk of contracting HepB, leading to chronic hepatitis & long term hepatic diseases like cirrhosis and liver failure as well as increased chance of liver cancer.
The study can’t be carried out in the US or Denmark because it fails almost every benchmark for medical ethics — surprising absolutely nobody, it is in fact heinously unethical to expose babies to preventable disease that causes liver failure and liver cancer, but the “study” has been green lit in Guinea.
Fuck the US imperial project in Africa, fuck RFK Jr and the US Department of Health, and fuck every single collaborative researcher in Denmark. This is some nightmare Tuskegee Study shit and every single individual involved deserves to be in The Hague.
