  • Unless you actually start looking into the whole of the aids epidemic its easy to miss what an absolute clusterfuck it was. The systems in place weren’t prepared at all for it and through a combination of maliciousness, ideological hardheadedness, and novel circumstances more Americans were killed by a virus than by the Viet Cong. But because it hit a group that was already fighting for our rights as well as the fact physicians in high places understood that their duty was not to the public “morality” but to public health things were able to be fought.

    I’m quite supportive of disability assisting technology and the ability to use machines to connect the brain to the body or prostheses are things I’m generally in favor of (when the disabled are consulted and listened to).

    Now, Elon’s cyberpunk nightmare version of this where minds and computers are swapping thoughts directly? No, I’m not on board with that. Fortunately it doesn’t seem to be anywhere near the horizon.
