But where is that humanism?

It was more about you not reading enough (books). So technically yes.

I assume you have multiple accounts here, since I was replying to a different user. This in itself tells something, but then again, why should I care. Not sure why you keep implying that castration should have something to do with books. There is very simple non medical meaning that probably comes from latin, you can find it here https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/castration

Try reading some books maybe.

I'm also wandering. My organ is having a really long break these days, not sure if it's even healthy.
nobody cares of her
Or doesn't get along with humans too well. Which can be a sign of underliyng depression.
no it's not. they straight up serve kremlin, promoting kremlin fake news and silencing russian opposition (not much to silence but still). they can have whatever functionality they like, I still won't use it in billion years.

wow. It's just a 10 cm by 10 cm plate, how can it bother anybody? I guess modern generation just can't stand monuments.
probably weak tabs, or strong tolerance. 5 tabs would get me destroyed. A friend of mine had seen some biblical shit and he only took 4.
I know. I'm just saying there is very little sense in comparing it to adderall.
it's like saying "a book can improve your mood". It definitely can, and most often will but reading 15 pages a day probably won't do too much.
so it's like comparing a downer to an upper, right? not the best comparison in my books.
Because it's obvious to anybody. It's also obvious that modern humans are far less exposed to UV than our ancestors, who pretty much lived like current days hobos spending most of their time on fresh air.

As a person living outside of US I appreciate those 12 cents from you much more than 0.004. US provides at least some level of global security and I don't want this role to be taken by any other country. As for art, I always can look for other options.

don't be too negative, there are lots of alternatives. humanity will lose almost nothing if wolfram cease to exists.

Not true for netflix movies though. Most of them are really unwatchable.
Actually, a real shame is a total lack of really big (millions of records) data sets on pretty much anything medical. And this is of course due to our love with privacy. Probably millions of people died too soon because of that, and many more will follow in the future.

>> thousands of years old tradition of philosophy

imagine those proponents of 'thousands of years old tradition of philosophy' would try to accomplish anything with it. how funny that would be..

On cellular level too! I remember looking at some summarising paper on Duchenne muscular dystrophy for educational purposes. There was a question regarding concentration of certain molecule inside affected muscle cells. 5 papers were quoted - 3 were showing that the concentration is way above normal if DMD is present while other 2 were showing complete opposite. You can not imagine anything like that in math or physics.
Any non chechens? Because recent beheading of french teacher definitely could play a certain role in that decision.
it's more likely that the whole story was invented by Belarus KGB in order to justify repressions against politically active citizens.
Apple is just milking people at this point. Their devices are subpar for the cost and customer treatment is sometimes even worse.

"Post-hoc analysis of waste water and patient samples in Europe shows that it was circulating in Europe by mid-late 2019, way before the patient 0 in Wuhan."

now this is what's called a conspiracy theory.

what I'm saying is that until the closest relative to SARS-CoV-2 is known to be exactly the same virus that was researched in Wuhan institute of virology, it's obvious that lab leak should be number 1 hypothesis. That wouldn't be so, if covid started in Beijing or Nanjing. Or if Wuhan wouldn't be home to one of the two BSL–4 labs in China. And the only lab to my mind that investigated SARS-CoV-2 closest known relative before the outbreak. But since all those facts are true, I really have a hard time considering other hypotheses.

Majority of pneumonia cases are caused by bacteria though (see https://www.cebm.net/covid-19/differentiating-viral-from-bac... )
