Very interesting program. Wow re you starting therapy in January 1992. I started the previous September, it actually started as me and my then-wife going to the therapist to talk over our increasingly beleaguered marriage, only to have the first session be largely about her telling him and me that she was moving out the next day. And every week after, she unloaded one news item after another, including her filing for divorce, and in late October, that she was leaving the SF Bay Area and moving back to SoCal. That's where she was from, where her cousin was, and where her high school boyfriend, whom she had reconnected with in July '91, lived as well

By January, the sessions became about me figuring out how to reconnect with the world as a single male in his 40s. I was an emotional mess. Still am, but have figured out some things, more or less. Sounds like you and Joe had a very interesting relationship. Kudos to him for facilitating that attempt to smear you via MeToo.

Waking Time sounds like a great movie. Knowing within a dream that you are dreaming is really neat, it's happened to me a few times, i always wake up wish i could have done more with it. :-) Sounds like an excellent social critique perfectly applicable to digital disembodiment, the deranged state more and more of our fellow humans seem captured by, as if a scene out of the 1978 remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

Always rewarding to hear Sam Bailey. It is too bad that whistle blowing efforts do sometimes end up discrediting those questioning the ruling narrative. Sticking to "upstream" basics is for sure the way to proceed further.

I agree with their discipline of primarily sticking to the upstream problems of virology (and for me, in particular, "diagnostic testing"). Once I was in that discussion with Mark a few years ago, that also became my editorial policy.

This is not relevant here, I apologise, but I wanted to share this

All serious science welcome; we ask, can graphene oxide exist?

Yes I've watched this when it happened but he's too inarticulate.

That's interesting -- he seemed more articulate and better able to clarify himself than most American scientists I talk to, who love to dodge questions. As soon as I hear Stefano's voice in a documentary, I know someone is going to offer a complete thought.

We cross posted. Yes I am wrong and happy to stand corrected. Not sure why but when I clicked the link I thought to see the episode from the End of Covid. I did not find him articulate there.

Just listening now. His accent is not an issue for me, I have one as well :)

I was not completely convinced by Stefano Scoglio, either. It might have something to do with language barriers, not sure.

I don't things are about being convinced. He asserted problems that need to be addressed. Common sense stuff like QA/QC, and show me this mysterious substance, and why was the Nobel won using tape and pencil graphite? In my mind, that is where the discussion goes. Scoglio is the lead, not the story.

For sure, a lot to be investigated. After listening to him, I had more questions than answers.

That is the mark of a good source. We put too much energy on being "convinced" and "agreeing" or not, IMO. I think this is an exercise in having confidence in the questions rather than the answers. And you must admit that given those questions, the certainty of the graphene people is a little disturbing. I really would love to see a sheet of this invisible force field material. If it's a sheet of foil, it ain't graphene.

Actually I am wrong, I thought it was a link to his end of Covid talk.

I need more sleep these days!

Just listening now. Thanks.
