I am not obese nor 80 years old.
It is like asking me the pros and cons of a smoking vaccine when I don't smoke.
They can try push it to make fake "pros" but in a normal sane world I literally just don't need it.
Rob,
I usually don't respond to controversial stuff on fourms.
Just because I see you as a mentor I want to tell you that Its not only affecting old and unfit.
I know people in their early 30s died and many in their 40s.
Even though I would blame government(election rally and inaction) and health care system, but contrary to popular belief india is not all slums. It have good health care system not great but good.
As of now the there is oxygen shortage in india and strain on health care system.
The thing might be different in your country because of low number of cases and proper handling of situation.
There might be survivorship bias amongst anti vaccors. Though I agree that we would never know the long term safety of the vaccine.
I wish you for a good health.
Stay safe everybody
They’re missing the point.I still don't think it's a useful perspective. Who knows, some entrepreneurs might have it all figured out. Even if they don't, we all suffer sooner or later. That's one absolute I'm willing to bet on.
what if everyone else is wrong?
They’re missing the point.
It’s not that we “have it all figured out,” but rather that a person ballsy enough to strike out on their own is also confident enough to ask “what if everyone else is wrong?”
Thinking for oneself is a good thing. Asking questions, being a bit skeptical, wanting to know WHY, all good things.
So don’t worry about whatever that guy said about “circlejerking.” He just wants you to accept the status quo and stop asking questions.
——-
anyway, to @Raja and @MTF I agree.
There are real risks and pros and cons.
But to the new guy - that doesn’t mean you should lobotomize yourself and stop asking questions.

I used to believe all the problems in the world were real.
I am still blown away how good someone who is good at boxing is - you literally can't even get close to punching them without getting smashed yourself.
You just wear a cup all the time! LolAnd what if you kicked them in the nuts?
I'm serious. I always look at martial sports from the perspective of self-defense and it seems like very few of them would actually help you much in a real world no holds barred situation.
A friend is into BJJ. As he was showing me some moves, I was like "and what if I don't play by the rules now and just kick you in the balls?" His response "Well then I'm fu****." Don't get me wrong, it was fun and there's some merit to it. But the assumptions make it a very dangerous activity for someone who thinks that now they're invincible.
Granted, I used to train krav maga which doesn't concern itself with many rules and nut-kicking, fingers in the eyes, etc. are the bread and butter.

Here is Mark Zuckerberg telling his employees that: “I share some caution on this [vaccine] because we don’t know the long-term side effects of basically modifying people’s DNA and RNA.”Call me a sell-out but I'll get the vaccine to be able to travel freely. I don't see unvaxinated people being able to travel easily anytime soon and I'm not going to lose years of my life not being able to travel or having to do countless tests, quarantines, etc.
What if you assume they have balls and you are wrong?!
Certified B Corporations are a new kind of business that balances purpose and profit. They are legally required to consider the impact of their decisions on their workers, customers, suppliers, community, and the environment. This is a community of leaders, driving a global movement of people using business as a force for good.
It’s a straw man argument if you pretend like people are against ALL vaccines.I don't totally understand people's fixation with the science of vaccines being in some way uniquely muddy, we do way crazier things that trick our bodies to produce antibodies. Like turning air into food, beaming encoded information through space or turning wolfs into pugs.
My personal take on the vaccines (feel free to call me sheep):View attachment 37772
Be sure to remember the journey! Makes you someone whose done what 99% will never do.Well, I decided to run a marathon in January with a friend of mine who is 25 years older than me. Lol. He has had some health problems and has every excuse not to do this, but he’s now miles ahead of what I can do. If he’s going for this, I decided I needed to grow a pair and go for it.
I have never done anything like that in my entire life. The most I have ever run at a time might be 3 miles.
Here’s the deal though, given enough time, devotion, and discipline… I know for a fact I can make it happen.
Got fitted for a new pair of Brooks shoes this evening and I’ll be strapping them on in the morning for what will undoubtedly be the most torturous of the training days. Day one.

Elizabeth Gilbert is a hell of a writer and journalist. If you like her books, I highly recommend you Big Magic. This one is incredible.I was reading a book about this topic a while ago by Elizabeth Gilbert. She describes how ideas are an energetic life-form looking for a human partner. If it thinks that you can do the job, it will pay you a visit. But, if it notices that you won't collaborate to the execution, it will find someone else. It will not wait for you forever.
Now I know that this is magical realism, but it always stuck with me in a way to remind me that if I don't take action, someone else will.
I honestly believe that the mental will always need the physical. Otherwise, we would be talking about something close to post-humanism.This is literally what modern rationalist like descartes, Leibniz and Spinoza thought.
That we could have intelligence independent of experience or having being "taught something".
Yeah, a mental dimension so to speak where the physical needs the mental but the mental does not need the physical. We can have an understanding of something before it manifests physically.
True stuff for sure and actually very practical for solving problems in the real world.
this is crucial to understand if anybody want to be a professional problem solver..
This dude's impersonation of Goggins is spot on LOL:
