Now, take Sir Francis Drake; the Spanish all despise him

But to the British he's a hero and they idolise him

It's how you look at buccaneers that makes them bad or good

And I see us as members of a noble brotherhood!

This guy is both somewhat correct but also insufferable. It's a big case of don't shoot the message.

He also seems to insist on his own weird definition of "woke". In general it's used to define an obsession with identity politics that is entirely devoid of material and class analysis, of a kind that is especially prominent among the PMC, which nutrek is a perfect example of.

It's a shame, this kind of video could be exactly the kind of thing that helps build bridges to de-reactionisation of alienated "nerds". It sets out in a Marxist context a structured explanation of what I've seen more cohereant righties try to express, but instead he chooses to insult people.

I realise that, my point is that the "sham TNS" may be acting as active TNS.

[–] RobotToaster@mander.xyz 3 points 2 days ago (5 children)

This study looks questionable.

Sham TNS delivered 30 seconds of stimulation per hour at lower frequency and pulse width

It seems just as likely that TNS isn't particularly sensitive to the frequency and pulse width.

It also looks like a lot of the researchers have funding from pharmaceutical companies.

The letter seems a bit meandering, it buries the important part half way down, and doesn't specify what those closed parts actually are.

a couple of months later in the team's internal chat he again argued against opening the de-facto closed parts of the maps generator code. It's still not completely open source.
