   @BowsacNoodle @retroedgetech Yup. My general POV, now, is no intervention unless I'm dying right tf now and it's preventable. If one part of my body gets separated from the rest and I'm bleeding out, I'm kinda, sorta hoping that they can stanch the bleeding and stitch me back together. And for known ~100% fatality things like rabies, I'll take my chances with Big Voodoo.

   I had an intention (not a goal, as that implies some degree of flexibility that you might not meet that goal) to absolutely refuse to ever start on a med that I 'can't ever get off of' (according to them). Average 60yo in the US is on about 8 meds, 4 of them to counter adverse effects if the other 4. I'm on zero and intend on keeping it that way.

   There us no such thing as a pharmaceutical deficiency. And that includes vaccines. Read up on how the universally vaccinating against measles has made it demonstrably worse for subsequent generations, for example.

   In all cases I know of, natural immunity (including that passed on by the mother) is always superior. So if the mortality is low (definitely the case for measles since we got better sanitation and nutrition...with the latter deteriorating since Ancel spit Keys...but I digress). So there is a significant high bar for safety for nearly all childhood illnesses. At least in places where pooping in the street is frowned upon.

   So at 61, all prophylactic vaccines are a hard no for me.

   Penrose refutes AI. I find the interview fascinating because the host does seem to be a believer in AI becoming conscious.

   I don’t think Penrose explains Gödel’s theorem.

   Axioms are created to capture something about the observable world, for example.

   In order to prove something, you have to have a set of axiom that allow you to get to the thing you want to prove or disprove. Following rules created from existing actions can’t do that.
