With regards to noteworthy news I am only presently interested in the following 5 particular matters:
- 1 Some awesome scientific discovery or discoveries
- 2 Some awesome achievement of a philosopher(s) or philosophy
- 3 Some news about my favourite musicians or artists spreading their music or art into the mainstream
- 4 Some news about COVID-19
- 5 Some news about the changes of laws or criminalization in any country

The dude might not be totally off.......
Years back.- just before opening day of deer season I ran into a group of young women at our local grocery. They were stocking up to head up to the UP where stuff is more expensive.
They were driving a big dually, hauling a big.trailer - it had to be 40 feet long. It had 6 or 7 doors on one side. 7 bedrooms.
I asked where they were headed - they answered they were going .to one of the more infamous roadhouses - for deer season.....
Do the math...

“Extreme Suffering”: 15 of 23 Monkeys with Elon Musk’s Neuralink Brain Chips Reportedly Died
“Pretty much every single monkey that had had implants put in their head suffered from pretty debilitating health effects,” said the PCRM’s research advocacy director Jeremy Beckham. “They were, frankly, maiming and killing the animals.”
Neuralink chips were implanted by drilling holes into the monkeys’ skulls. One primate developed a bloody skin infection and had to be euthanized. Another was discovered missing fingers and toes, “possibly from self-mutilation or some other unspecified trauma,” and had to be put down. A third began uncontrollably vomiting shortly after surgery, and days later “appeared to collapse from exhaustion/fatigue.” An autopsy revealed the animal suffered from a brain hemorrhage.
The PCRM filed a complaint with the the US Department of Agriculture on Thursday, accusing UC Davis and Neuralink of nine violations of the Animal Welfare Act. “Many, if not all, of the monkeys experienced extreme suffering as a result of inadequate animal care and the highly invasive experimental head implants during the experiments, which were performed in pursuit of developing what Neuralink and Elon Musk have publicly described as a ‘brain-machine interface,’” the group wrote in the complaint.
Musk previously said that he hoped to begin human trials in 2021, but that goal has been pushed back to 2022.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Ketamine inferior to ECT in treatment resistant depression but still has a ~50% success rate.

Quote:Old pals Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire were spotted partying together in the VIP section of nightclub MainRō restaurant and supper club in Hollywood on Thursday night.
“Tobey and Leo came to the club together for a boys’ night out,” a source tells Page Six. “It was very clear that Tobey was on the prowl and Leo was his wingman. Leo introduced Tobey to three different blondes.”
But it seems that even starring in the latest “Spider-Man” installment doesn’t attract the ladies.
“Even with Leo’s help, Tobey couldn’t land a girl,” the source continued. “None of them seemed interested when introduced.”
Maybe Tobey should take out Bill Shatner as his wingman next time.

4:00 - 8:00 as I watched this I kept thinking "Is this like an American Kursk?"

Well, Musk does believe in "move fast and break stuff". In this case, the stuff is a brain.
