  • Here’s what AI has to say:

    AI Overview +1 Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) is a progressive brain disorder that can develop years after a measles infection. It’s a disabling and deadly disease that usually affects children between the ages of 5 and 15. Symptoms memory loss, irritability, seizures, involuntary muscle movements, behavioral changes, personality changes, mood swings, depression, fever, and headache. Stages

    Stage 1: Personality changes, mood swings, depression, fever, headache, and memory loss
    Stage 2: Jerking, muscle spasms, seizures, loss of vision, and dementia
    Stage 3: Writhing (twisting) movements and rigidity
    Stage 4: Progressive loss of consciousness into a persistent vegetative state 
    

    Treatment There’s no specific cure for SSPE, but treatments include lamivudine, isoprinosine, and interferon alfa-2a. Prevention The only effective way to prevent SSPE is to get vaccinated against measles. SSPE is more common in developing countries due to low vaccination rates. Risk factors Risk factors for SSPE include: Being from a rural or poverty-stricken area, Being overcrowded, Having multiple siblings, and Having a higher birth order.












  • This is basically where not even I believe in myself.

    Cooperatives… A few billion of us get together to build a rocket…never gonna happen. A few of us build a power plant…yeah right! Never gonna happen.

    What about life? My life, how much is my life worth? Is it worth more than yours or less? Divided into life/second, if I’m worth the same as you are, then I should get paid the same as you no matter what I do… I could be a painter or a seamstress or a cook or a bricklayer. I should be worth the same. Even a bum who wants nothing to do with anyone should be worth the same as the most smartest person to ever live. Its a life. You don’t get to be worth more by being smarter or making more stuff.

    I would definitely not want to live in a society where my kids will be homeless even though I am the hardest working worker. If my kids are lazy I still want to ensure they live better than I did. So although I don’t like this consumerism centric capitalistic society, that socialistic society sucks.

    I much rather be in a society where you can own things and give them to your kids, and have those things hold some value. I don’t want the government limiting what I can and cannot do. To some extent I think this sort of capitalism is possible, but the billionaires have got to go puff. I would love living a grand life with a big house in a sunny part of California. That’s impossible now no matter what I say or do. Meanwhile some billionaire could just buy California if he wanted to. That sort of money accumulation I’m totally against.



  • Getting a paycheck automatically means that someone has more money before a product, or service is delivered. So I’m gonna stretch this a little… If we like jobs that pay money then we gotta live with rich assholes. But if we want no rich assholes and truly everyone’s time is worth exactly the same amount, then we need something other than capitalism. We need socialism. But how do we prevent kings or rich politicians in either scenario? Tax them in capitalism for one. In socialism we just downright make that illegal.
