What You Get Is the World

20pts10

"The closer you get together, the more you like each other? There is no evidence of that in any situation that we have ever heard of. When people get close together, they get more and more savage and impatient with each other. [Man’s] tolerance is tested in those narrow circumstances very much. Village people are not that much in love with each other. The global village is a place of very arduous interfaces and very abrasive situations." McLuhan

As the one who posted the link, I should explain that given twitter threads have no title, I simply copied the first line of the first tweet as the title. I see your point, though.

"But Dr. Ben Neel, director of Perlmutter Cancer Center at NYU Langone Health, told The Post that 'cancer is multiple diseases, and it is highly unlikely that this company has found a ‘cure’ for cancer any more than there is a single cure for infections.'

He said that 'more likely, this claim is yet another in a long line of spurious, irresponsible and ultimately cruel false promises for cancer patients.'"
