Good article:
Western Medicine Is Dead
yes, it is dead and one of the most unmistakable signs is that it is becoming increasingly non-voluntary.
govts all over the world scramble to create various rules/laws/coercion mechanisms in order to keep its usage high and profits flowing
No wonder govts are freaked out that it may go away and are desperately trying to mandate its usage/consumption by law
Here, I'll give you a non-ant's perspective: The issue is the formation of oligopolies and monopolies (trusts). A methodology that has developed, in the last few hundred years, for this, is licensing.
Marxist ideas shield one from corruption?"Not only have they adopted marxist ideas, but at the same time they’ve become heavily influenced by money from the pharmaceutical industry."
this statement is contradicting itself
You're correct about the drive to make it non-voluntary. Vaxes are a big part of the key as we become reliant on this intervention to survive. As to licensing; no mystery here: revenue. Even to own a business or conduct business requires a license and this simply puts you in a taxable category not endured by the enslaved, I mean employed. I had to list all my business assets including chairs and was taxed on all of it including inventory. States require licenses only as a revenue source; one is not required to verify good business practices or competence.Putting the political topics in the article aside - yes, it is dead and one of the most unmistakable signs is that it is becoming increasingly non-voluntary. In other words, people increasingly refuse to freely "consume" it and govts all over the world scramble to create various rules/laws/coercion mechanisms in order to keep its usage high and profits flowing. Health services are about 20% of the GDP of most Western countries. It also drives indirectly additional 10%-20% of the GDP through related industry branches, suppliers, etc. No wonder govts are freaked out that it may go away and are desperately trying to mandate its usage/consumption by law.
As to licensing; no mystery here: revenue
My point remains: revenue. Licensing does not ensure competence. Even a board of peers may be far removed from competence or best practice. Licensing brings you into whichever club you've aspired to. Practicing medicine without a license is illegal but doesn't mean the individual is less competent; it only means you're not a part of the self celebrated group. I am not a licensed physician but that doesn't mean I can't and didn't learn my version of medicine. I am not hamstrung by the censure that comes with that license. In no way does a lack of license ensure ignorance just as having a license does not ensure competence. We are all capable of learning that which we require without sanction of others.This misses the point almost entirely.
What happens when you outlaw the practice of medicine except by those who are licensed?
1. only those who seek to get licensed learn about the practice of medicine; everyone else remains unlearned
2. you create an artificial scarcity, which creates an artificial inflation of the education (high doctor incomes means people will willingly pay more for med school)
3. you control the content
Sure, licenses are added to a ton of businesses for the purpose of revenue generation from licensing fees, but for licensing law and medicine, it is very much a matter of ensuring ignorance (ignorance of medicine and the law), ensuring control, and increasing costs (artificial scarcity).
There are so many things you can sue the government for (so many violations of the constitution), but a wide ignorance of law by the general public, lawyers all vested in their law degree and credentials, oblivious juries, pretty much ensures you get almost nothing that disrupts the system.
States require licenses only as a revenue source
My point remains: revenue.
You said "everyone else remains unlearned" without a license. You might just take a look around this forum as there are some very competent people here.
Thank you for pointing out how simplistic I am and that I'm just not gifted enough to understand your lofty concepts. Agree to ignore you. Only the overblown ego seeks to belittle others.It's probably best that we don't continue discourse. Perhaps we can mutually ignore each other?
Your point that licenses are there "only" for states to benefit from direct revenue of licensing is simple and incorrect. It nearly entirely misses what I was describing, but I don't think you have the sense to understand the concepts I put forth
Even if you don't take what I was saying to be a pattern of tendency, you can still literally interpret it to have a valid meaning: Those who aren't seeking a license to practice medicine don't go to med school. Similarly, you can detract from this thread by stating cases where people went to med school without subsequently practicing medicine.
Agreed.It died a long time ago aided by the advent of medical insurance. But it seems that a lot of integrity in many aspects of society has died along with medicine,
I think often of the fall of various and some mysterious societies like the Phoenicians, Babylonians, Sumerians, Aztecs, Greeks and Romans and wonder where they went and why. Was it the degradation of integrity and pursuit of self interest and greed or was it something else like medicine.
He starts with that because he chooses to start with something that is even more relevant as this wokeness has been formalized by a woke illegitimate president, supported by all the institutions that we (forgive the license to include you) could not imagine to have become woke at the flip of a switch. So, I think it is not only not dumb, but speaks to a writer being perceptive of the current of the times, of popular culture, and of the zeitgeist. That is how a writer doesn't turn off readers by not being out of touch.The article is pretty dumb. Of all things wrong about western medicine, he spends the first 3 paragraphs on the racism of school admissions. This is like an ant's perspective on the effects of a nuclear bomb. People are so amazingly stuck in stupid paradigms, not only do they have no clue of the bigger picture, they are about a million miles away from solutions.
Roosh is a reformed PUA and is now a Christian who has found God.The main point is solid but all the religious and political claptrap is offputting and irrelevant. Give us evidence, not contentious rhetoric.
Not really. Woke Marxists, as opposed to orthodox Marxists, are happy to profit and deal with corporations, as long as it helps move their cultural agenda (the holy trinity of race/sex/gender) forward."Not only have they adopted marxist ideas, but at the same time they’ve become heavily influenced by money from the pharmaceutical industry."

its funny how that gets attributed to marx though. that's like someone eating a bottle of maple syrup a day and rubbing half a bottle of progesterone on their balls and calling it peating. Or taking estrogen for libido and calling it peaty. just so far from what they actually wroteNot really.

It is what it is. Rightfully, wokeness should really be attributed to Gramsci and the rest of the Frankfurt School gang.its funny how that gets attributed to marx though. that's like someone eating a bottle of maple syrup a day and rubbing half a bottle of progesterone on their balls and calling it peating.

"If anything is certain, it is that I myself am not a marxist" - Karl MarxIt is what it is. Rightfully, wokeness should really be attributed to Gramsci and the rest of the Frankfurt School gang.
Marx gets stuck with it because they proclaimed themselves his disciples, and since he was dead at the time, he obviously had no possibility of rejecting them.
Thank you for pointing out how simplistic I am...
