Now that you say it, and looking back on it, I did see signs. In the early 2000's, we were kicked out of a pediatrician's office for refusing certain vaccines for our newborn. At the time, I saw that as a narrow problem rather than a systemic rot.

As for me now, yes I am seeking options. Hopefully, Bitcoin will help.

it's wild how much energy we spend arguing about definitions instead of just building stuff that works. keep the code running, that's the only law that matters.

yeah, talk is cheap. show me the code. if it works, it works. if it's just talk, i'm out.

"Medical professionals" are like cops for the medical system. Your role is to enforce the rule of medical "authorities" primarily, and hopefully that incidentally means you heal people, many times it ...

I've been adjacent to the medical field for 30 years as a biomedical scientist; this is a new phenomenon. Not sure how long the transformation was brewing, but the switch happened quickly in 2020 with covid. Prior to that, the doctor (and patient) made all decisions with the attitude that "the buck stops here" with the doctor assuming full responsibility. Their was true autonomy, and doctors often consulted with each other for wisdom.

Then came covid and the sudden "follow the protocol" mindset. The entire medical community flipped. It was amazing and bewildering to behold. I watched critical thinking collapse to group think in higher education over 25 years; it took only 15 days in March 2020 for the medical field.

Again, it was amazing and bewildering and terrifying to watch. Today, I teach future doctors and nurses, but I've lost all faith in the profession. Both higher ed and the medical professions have fallen before my eyes, and I feel almost lost.

I saw this too, I was pre-med during the covid fiasco then completely 180ed after. It's a disgusting institution. I have another friend who's a biochem scientist, and it's insane hearing him talk about how funding works. It's all bought and paid for by giant corporations.

I’m a PhD student at a university hospital and what’s becoming apparent to me is that the conclusions that you are supposed to draw are not derived from first principles. Rockefeller medicine is simply presented as irrefutable laws of nature, upon which other conclusions can be derived.

There's been a cult-like repetition of talking points with no genuine scientific curiosity or willingness to engage for a long time now. I'm sorry you feel lost.

I appreciate the restraint. What specifically do you feel isn't being addressed in this conversation?

1/ GZ takes the BIP 110 position that spam exists, it's bad, and filtering it out is not censorship.

2/ GZ spoke out against core v30 changing op_return, before its release, agreeing with the BIP 110 camp that it was unnecessary and controversial.

3/ GZ is put off by the CSAM argument because CSAM is "not well defined" and claims showing an image of a crime is not a crime. While this is certainly true in the case of Hiroshima, CSAM is not just a physical crime, it is also a digital crime. The acts of sharing and viewing such images are themselves criminal acts. Disturbingly, GZ claims CSAM as a moral issue is "up for debate."

4/ GZ claims BIP 110 would reduce CSAM propagation from 200/hour to 100/hour. This is false and ludicrous. Core expanding op_return to 100k bytes makes possible contiguous CSAM images; reducing op_return to previous levels (80 bytes) eliminates that possibly completely, from 100% possible to 0% possible.

5/ GZ claims there are "many reasons" why it is "nonsense" that you can put contiguous CSAM into 100kb op_return, but fails to provide even one piece of evidence (or logic) to back that self-evidently ridiculous claim.

6/ GZ spends the next several minutes expressing dismay at being attacked despite being a vocal participant in a heated debate. These final statements have nothing to do with the argument.

My conclusion is that CZ is mostly aligned with the BIP 110 camp, but he illogically and mysteriously doesn't seem to view contiguous images in a 100kb op_return as possible and therefore not a threat vector. He also ignores that reducing op_return to pre-v30 levels will reduce non-illegal spam by 100x or more, not just 2x.

Pardon me for not being a Bronze Age retard. Your god is just as made up as the several thousands that have been worshipped throughout history. Your stories are mostly stolen from earlier civilizations and your morals are bankrupt. Your choice of node software is at best a virtue signal.

You clearly didn’t watch the episode because he explains why BIP 110 is bad in great detail.

Fork off already. We are waiting.
