  • There’s got to be a solid amount of internal belief that copilot doesn’t have a future. They have no popular phone - no idea why they didn’t continue making Android phones. That Android game store they announced still hasn’t happened. No popular TV presence besides a limping along Xbox series console. People on windows aren’t using copilot. Even Amazon has a better shot because of their echo and fire devices. Companies developing internal AI tools, don’t know why they wouldn’t base off a regularly updated stable of local AI models as they come out like Deepseek, Qwen, Kimi, whatever








  • I remind people that RFK Jr was planned to be a part of the Obama administration but wasn’t believed possible to make it through confirmation hearings with the negative being - he’s too leftist. RFK Jr was for a long time a major influencer in hippie medicine. He’s pretty much a quintessential example of young 60/70s, often privileged upbringing, hippies that would go on to be today’s anti-science (intellectual authority) leaders.

    I know plenty of people with degrees that are leftist in most American issues but are the opposite when it comes to health/medicine/nutrition. Plenty of the top of my high schools grade class rankings went to university and were culturally art focused. They would be called hipsters. They have degrees. And quite a number are deep into homeopathy/alt-health. At least a couple have gone down the osteopathy career path and they’re not the worse but they do veil the homeopathic uncertainty with their actual scientific jargon knowledge to make it sound more certain


  • What I’ve seen in people I know is that it centers around a need for certainty. They’re scared of something they can’t control or are too tired to or lack belief in themselves to control. Scared of having autistic children, there must be an identifiable cause that can be avoided to blame. There’s a growing vocal crowd saying vaccines so latch onto that. Friends I’ve seen with just about zero dietary self-control, they get into dietary fads. Like alkaline water and way more expensive seasonings than the common price - marketed as healthier. They generally make no weight goals or whatever but the expensive placebo brings them some mental comfort

    I just remembered the ones that seem like they really want to come off as smart and seem certain that the way to that is to be very visibly against conventional wisdom regardless of their lack of proof and lack of ability to prove their beliefs. They’re the leaders and the ones coping the followers
