if you have to tell people that you're enlightened, you ain't

also why have you picked vaccines in particular. maybe you wanted to express something else more clearly? there's no money in vaccines to such degree that western pharma companies don't want to research them, and bulk of (non-mRNA) vaccines are made in Serum Institute of India, they make this stuff for half of the world if not more. this thing is cheeaap, and because it's a preventive one and done you can take it on your own terms, you're not under time pressure to get it so you can shop around to get it cheaply. you can't nickel and dime people on vaccines

now if you do want to nickel and dime a patient, you'd need something that they're gonna need forever and jack up prices or just keep them high from day one, like with antiretrovirals or what purdue pharma did or like with daraprim. and then there's entirely another very american problem of insurance leech layer. taking a very charitable look at it maybe you want to say a thing about availability of american healthcare in general, less charitably, and more likely, you sound like a libertarian antivaxxer

it gives enlightened centrist vibe, maybe that's why

at least cryptobros decided to leech off much less consequential game industry

just one rationalist got lost in the wilderness? that's nothing, tell me when all of them are gone

it would need to be organized somehow, make it big and electric to be efficient. people go to the same places every day so you can just put a durable track of some kind in right place,

I meant weaker per kg of body weight, not in absolute terms

Square-cube law means that as they get bigger they need to hunt less (lower rate of heat loss per kg of birb) and get less powerful compared to their size

some common friend spilled the tea in advance perhaps

I've seen that Ukrainians got their jet (su-27?) destroyed when parked, but that was due to ballistic missiles, not drones, and 1y+ ago

Notice that also air defence radar was targeted. There's a lot of russia and apparently not enough air defence assets, and something will slip through, some of the time

it's some copium of tremendous potency to misidentify public sentiment (https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/2025/04/03/how-the-us-public-and-ai-experts-view-artificial-intelligence/) for movement (ignore the "AI experts" these are people surveyed at a certain machine learning conference, really could be substituted by 1000 clones of Sutskever)
