A man who ran out of air at the bottom of the ocean 7 years ago

It's worse because the offender was politically connected and there was nothing I could do about the situation at the time i regained recollection. The offender also had large resources to pay ex spooks to keep the situation normal (for him), and digging up dirt on me and my family.

A man who ran out of air at the bottom of the ocean 7 years ago

someone tried to kill me for exposing them raping my girlfriend and the doctors used experimental oxygenated blood to save my life. I got really drunk the night i was assaulted because of a related incident. During the incident with my gf, her ex and i were trying to locate her after a party (we were in another dorm and she called us on a cell, not hers) and she recollected she didn't know where she was, she was naked, and that some males were holding her close not letting her go. They would only give her clothes after a sexual act was performed. We tried locating her but we were too late. Afterword, I and the girlfriends ex tried pulling the call 'metadata' but it was deleted or i was not allowed to access it.

I have a higher likelihood of suffering a stroke in my 30s due to the fake blood injections.

My roommate was paid to keep watch while the offender tried to suffocate me. While transported to the hospital i lost consciousness for a long time. The hospital pretended like they had consent to inject me with the fake blood. The hospital covered up the rohypnol in my system. The nurse there assumed i tried to slip a gril a roofied drink and failed. The college buried the report, blaming it all on me. My parents were shamed. My girlfriend ended up dating the offender for 2 years due to violent threats on family. The offender got away with sexual assault against me (buck breaking). The offender stuck his dick up my ass so I wouldn't tell anyone of the event (i am male and it almost worked). The only reason I survived is that I pretended to die (thanks burn notice) only for the offender to realize he didn't want to kill anyone. I had a brown-out of the events for about 1.5 weeks after. This will be my greatest shame for the rest of my life not trying harder to prosecute the incident.

Medically there are policies in various countries that differ on the term 'dead' or 'clinically dead'. Various places have different standards of dead.

This has a huge effect on organ donation rates. For my medical emergency thank god I live in the US or my organs would have been donated already.

some places may have a policy for either 'respiratory arrest or cardiac arrest after x period' to be considered clinically dead. If I had been in one of those countries my organs would be in many different people's bodies.

I thank god every day that I was born in the US.

Evidence of a nocebo response following a nationwide antidepressant drug switch 7 years ago

I feel like we are so close to wirelessly monitoring all brain waves (next 50 years) we will probably be able to, in real time, recognize and diagnose abnormal brain patterns. I think it would be promising if we get this sensor tech up and then perhaps deploy nanotech to interfere with maladaptive brain patterns. The ethics of such a device is considerably sticky.

paraphrased: "wireless non-contact mind reading tech may be cheap and mass producible within the next 50 years."

the only rate limiting step with his method of decoding thoughts is that it takes time under a high energy device to pair associations in the brain.

Think of how much screen time we currently use. If we could pair a wireless 'headset' like headphones while looking at pictures on a screen it would be possible to build a brain bank of children->tenenagers. Currently we just need a lot of processing power and reserved bandwidth on the internet to do some cool stuff.

Remembering Murray Gell-Mann 7 years ago

I don't find that the article you linked supports the 'most gifted doing the actual production.' I found the main thrust of the article rather the opposite.

I do agree he has a reputation and that the points in the lurklurk article are valid. Clearly anyone well-read enough can pick out the inaccuracies and the presentation is sometimes way out of scope for normal scientific publishing standards.

In my opinion, to sell copies some some publishers like to fly a bit too close to the sun but that's industry standard now.

Betrayed by an app she had never heard of 7 years ago

In the US things like third-party doctrine have not aged well in the information age as just communicating with people can expose you in ways you can't ever control.

agreed. it's by design and i don't think anyone will be allowed to escape it
