600,000 Americans died from the virus so far. If it weren't for the mitigation efforts it would have been worse. I think the lockdowns didn't go far enough and we reopened too soon.
The one thing that should have been passed on a national level is a bill making employers recall all workers at the same pay rate shifts seniority benefits etc as before. Also rent forgiveness

Good, starts doing a good review of artificial intelligence ideas. I say that because I have never really gone along with it. It is a shameful legacy of hype and foolishness.
He does highlight the late Hubert Dreyfus, UC Berkeley expert in Martin Heidegger. He had to move from MIT to UCB, because at MIT they were afraid his ideas might get in the way of their military funding.
Does show the history of computer game playing. Yes, chess had been the thing they all looked to. Today, with IBM's Deep Blue, they can beat any human chess player. But it still does not think like a human being. Interesting. Other games I think they could get super human playing ability if they tried.
The one they still do not have yet is Go, Asian game. Still can't match human playing ability.

He wants superintelligence, meaning greater than human intelligence, even greater than any intelligence which has ever lived.
He wants to do it with digital machines, but not clear that this could happen.
He wants to do it with things like Invitro Fertilization. To me that is like breeding pedigree dogs, only more extreme. Not really that healthy or robust.
Doing it by communications technologies and better education, that is fine. This is already happening.

Diabetes for Dummies, by Alan L. Rubin MD amazon.com
I face a risk factor from years of horrible diet. I blame no one except myself, but it was part of a culture of working around the clock.
Also, my favorite mode of transportation is the bicycle. I am again though not getting to ride as much.
They say the US has 90 million pre-diabetics. And most have no idea that this is so. If diet and exercise correctives are made at this point, the process can be reveresed. So I need to learn how to gague my status. I need to understand.

Reading Diabetes for Dummies, 5th edition, by Alan L. Rubin
This is a complex subject, and this book has altered my understanding of it. I am only here going to speak about Type 2 Diabetes.
I had thought that bad diet and exercise habits were a big factor in causing Type 2 Diabetes. Reading this it seems not to be so. Rather, bad diet and exercise lead to high glucose level, and these are what cause all the associated problems. And these problems are real serious. But the tendency to get Type 2 Diabetes in the first place seems to be genetic.
If you father only has it, 4% chance. If your mother only, 10% chance. If a sibling has it, 40% chance. If your identical twin has it, 100% chance.
If you have Type 2 Diabetes, with very good diet and exercise, you may be able to eliminate all the consequences. But you will always still have it.
One thing which seems to happen in Type 2 is that you become resistant to insulin. Your pancreas may make enough, it may even be fatigued from making too much. But you are resistant to it, and so it does not have the full intended effect. Even externally injected additional insulin, though it may help, it still does not have the full effect.
So what happens comes down to diet and exercise. Added sugar is bad. But there is no an unconditional condemnation of sugar. It is more about carbohydrates and loosing any excess weight.
There is not criticism of pasta. He even says that pasta and legumes can be used as a substitute for potatoes.
He gives a small cookbook. And some of the dishes have been given by much loved restaurants in his native San Francisco.
He has a number that are salads only, no meat. He has a number of fish dishes and one chicken. He has one beef dish, rather like Chinese broccoli beef.
Mostly what he wants to do is control the portion size, bring it down.
I look at some of these and they say it will feed four. Well way back when I was married, we had dishes like that. We would double it, and then between the two of us we would eat most of it in one sitting. The rest we would save to reheat the next day.
I think many people habitually just eat more food than they need.
Anyway, the consequences of diabetes are very very serious. There are lot of foot amputations. There is surgery for increasing blood circulation to the feet. There are eye problems and nerve problems, and I add that there is a shortened life expectancy.
The most extreme are these metabolic surgeries. These seem oriented toward controlling obesity. But some doctors today look at diabetes as a surgical condition.
You may not be able to avoid diabetes if you have the genetic tendency. But by good diet and exercise you can likely avoid all the problems associated with it.
This book also dispels the myth that people with diabetes have more colds. Factors which do contribute to having more colds are being a child, and especially if your parent(s) smoke, and being exposed to second hand smoke.

" Both human and animal brains have two halves with somewhat different functions. One way Roger Sperry studied these functions was by examining patients whose hemisphere-connecting nerves had been severed to alleviate serious epilepsy. By the 1960s, he could reveal that the left hemisphere is more geared toward abstract and analytical thought, calculation, and linguistic ability, while the right hemisphere is more important for comprehending spatial patterns and complex sounds like music "

pg 215
" So to be perfectly clear, porn is not the enemy here. The problem with porn is when it ends up serving as a substitute for sex education, which is precisely what is happening in far too many parts of the United States today. . . . Porn is really only dangerous in the absence of accurate sexual knowledge. . . . So what does and effective sex-education program look like? Americans would do well to take a cure from the Dutch, who have developed what should be the model for teaching kids about sex throughout the industrialized world. In the Netherlands, rates of sexually transmitted infections, pregnancies, and abortions among teenagers are a tiny fraction of what they are in the United States, and it's because the Dutch are having sex education, the more information kids receive, the better -- the real danger comes from not providing enough information. A lack of information is what makes our kids vulnerable to the misconceptions about sex and the human body spread by porn ... . . . A quick point of clarification: "comprehensive" sex education doesn't necessarily have to get into the nitty gritty of all sexual desires that people might have, like threesomes, BSDM, and the numerous other interests... . . . what's important is that they help students (1) recognize that sexual diversity exists, (2) learn the importance of consent, and (3) build strong communications skills so that they're comfortable having intimate conversations with partners in the future.
SJG
pg 159ff
" Sexual disorders -- including low libido, problems becoming and staying aroused, and difficulty reaching orgasm -- are among the most common health issues facing Americans today. Increasingly, we are turning to the pharmaceutical and supplement industries for help managing them because sexual problems are widely seen as having biological causes and thus, necessitating medical fixes. This is why drugs designed to treat sexual problems -- like Viagra and Cialis -- have become among the best-selling medications on the planet. While these drugs certainly deserve a spot in our treatment arsenal, they are vastly overused. The reality is that most sexual disorders actually have a psychological-- not physiological--causes.

A good earlier support for Tell Me What You Want, I would find in Susie Bright.
Bright has written many books, and I have listed to her on NPR. She has herself been it at least one porno movie, and she has been a reviewer of porno movies. She has edited a number of volumes of women's erotica. And Susie Bright is her real name.
Nothing in Tell Me What You Want suggests sex with anyone you do not respect. Those who engage in BSDM role playing have to have closer and more respectful relationships than others do.

In a slut uniform the girl is trying to make you want to undress her and fuck her. But probably since you have to undress her, you will be moving her to private space.
In an action uniform she is trying to make you want to fuck her without undressing her. So we might call this an Orgy Uniform, because you can just do her in the front room, maybe within 20' of where you first spotted her.
if you are interested: style="transform: rotate(90deg);"
So this is too much for US retail strip clubs. Even if they are nude and nude off stage, you can't do Front Room FS. Laws about public sex and lewd conduct. Retail business is a public place.
