@Stigma Advanced control over ecstasis and social ecstasis. Everything else will follow from that capability.

@destraht Two weeks asymptomatic and 97% survival sounds bad. Real. Bad. (The more people walk around not feeling sick==more people exposed to the virus.) From Malaysia by the most popular flights, Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand will start reporting infections soon. And that is just thinking about what comes out of Malaysia.

@MentORPHEUS Aha! This is much more likely. More opportunities for the leap.

@JohannesFactotum Interesting and juicy hypothesis, but the truth might be more "HIV jumps to humans through locals eating "bush meat" (monkeys)" than "Ebola jumps to humans through secret bioweapons research lab." Seafood market near origin of outbreak sells over 100 kinds of wild animals as food.

@LovecraftsNightmare

Psuedo-Christian, the time has come to say, Okay. You're monetizing, what's your price for fight? Being Mr. Right? [Sorry, that song parody just came out of fucking nowhere...]

If its YouTube and a pivot its about money and its purely the algorithm. Ego is the enemy and Rollo mayhaps have lost the pecunic battle and the pivot is merely the real-world A|B test of "shit, 've gotta eat." So much on YouTube is just utter trash, everyone is pissing in the wind and calling it rain. Sometimes it is. Mos'times it ain't. The Rational Male books need a do-over anyway, because concatenating together a history of forum posts is repetitive and hinders the signal just as monetization biases the signal. Let's not get fooled by randomness, it is low-effort content-aggregation that got lucky.

Reddit at least was good for the Manosphere in helping us find more signal with the law of large numbers. More people bitch'n is more experiments and evidence. Its no surprise that it got quarantined, humans don't like their biological/psychological defects attacked. Won't be the last and it wasn't the first. The private places men used to gather were demolished by politics or destroyed by accident or time, so we had to create them anew but now we have a faster network. I can write bits at you and you can write bits at me and neither of us will smell like cigar smoke and quality booze. The old places, well, they had cigars and quality booze, but they're were not efficient engines of self-improvement outside of the old-boy's overlay network.

Collect the evidence, shut up and multiply, publish without ego. Accept your lumps when you fuck up, land your accolades in fucks given. Rollo's ego is outed so unfortunately it makes it easy for all to paint the target and pile on.

Prevention of Respiratory Infections by Povidone-Iodine Gargle

Abstract

Bacterial attachment to host cells is the initial step in the pathogenesis of infection. Our studies and those of oth- ers also showed that there is a significant correlation be- tween the attachment of bacteria to human pharyngeal epithelial cells and the occurrence of respiratory tract infections. We identified the receptor on human pharyn- geal epithelial cells which mediate binding of Moraxella catarrhalis and Haemophilus influenzae. In an attempt to prevent occurrence of infections, the effects of povidone- iodine gargling on the incidence of respiratory infections were investigated. The subjects included a total of 23 adult patients, both males and females, with chronic respiratory diseases showing repeated infections. Pa- tients were asked to gargle more than 4 times/day with povidone-iodine gargle over extended periods of time, i.e. from several months up to over 2 years. The inci- dence of episodes of acute exacerbation of chronic respi- ratory infections decreased significantly when compared with that before use of povidone-iodine gargle. Episodes of infections with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylo- coccus aureus (including MRSA) and H. influenzae were reduced by about 50%. Results of this study suggest that povidone-iodine gargle is effective in providing a signifi- cant reduction in the incidence of acute exacerbations of chronic respiratory disease. We assume that the colon- ized bacteria were destroyed and thus infection could not occur. Therefore, povidone-iodine gargle may be used in these patients as a preventive therapy. Further studies are needed to find out the mechanism of action of this drug for the prevention of respiratory tract infections.
