Great talk, so good to have more people pointing out the problems with online dating, especially how it hooks directly into our insecurities.

State-Monopoly Capitalism Combined with State Monopoly-Capitalism Leads to?

I think the problem with most of these arguments is that people are too quick to jump on new trains (fads) Cherry picking examples from history is a form of survivor bias. Yes some of this stuff is preicated on sound arguments, like "network goods" (Metcalf's law, maths) No one's arguing that. and yes, the "burden of choice" is another real hurdle to uptake. monoplies though, as in Amazon or Google, seem to have come about from the private sector quite often without Government intervention. As have standards (VHS Betamax etc) Given this, is there really any need to get government to "pick winners"? Another problem is inertia. You say create a limited time monopoly. Hmm, that's not a thing. Monopolies never just give up Monopoly positions, even if licencing stops, people now have the behaviour and branding in mind. HOw would anyone compete? The way monopolies usually fall is ossification leads to lack of innovation and then a disruptive new tech (paradigm shift) just displaces it (Kodak) The West is in the throws of this process with Bricks and China. Some believe it stoppable rather than inevitable. I'm not so sure. If it wasn't for AI, I'd say it was inevitable. Interesting talk but definitely from a marketer.

Light is not something Pharma can control with a patent for 7 years, so they’re not interested in that. And they don’t want to cure anything, they don’t make money on cures. It’s a sick greedy reality.

Parking apps and televised sport are good examples.

We need to modify traffic lights so that they cause cyclists to obey them.

Free markets end up with monopolies or oligopolys. In my world the state should have monopoly over voilence, law/courts etc.

P.P.S. Alzheimer's has been dubbed as " Type 3 Diabetes " and a Low-Carbohydrate / Ketogenic diet along with completely cutting out highly inflammatory Seed Oils can be beneficial as any areas of the brain which may have become Insulin Resistant can run preferentially on Ketones over glucose and the liver will continue to make whatever glucose we need through gluconeogenesis. Ketone production can also be boosted by taking coconut based " MCT-8 Oil " Medium Chain Triglycerides convert easily in the liver to Ketones. Exogenous Ketones can also be used for a fast start.

P.S. Pharmaceutical grade Methylene Blue ( typically used to reverse Cyanide Poisoning ) can cross the blood-brain barrier and has a very similar effect to NIR.

The first question to ask yourself is " Have I actually got Alzheimer's or have I perhaps got Alzheimer's-like symptoms from a Lipophilic Statin ? " If you have Alzheimer's-like symptoms because you're on a Lipophilic statin, switching to a Hydrophilic statin may be what you need ... or ... since the only people who really benefit from statins at all are those who have had massive heart attacks so if that's not you then you probably aren't benefitting from a statin anyway. Doctors were ( and still are ) encouraged to put EVERYBODY on a statin and you can bet that encouragement came from the Pharmaceutical companies which make them. Cholesterol is essential to life and is implemented in the body in many processes. Blocking our Liver from producing the cholesterol we NEED can be very detrimental and in fact the QUALITY of your cholesterol is much more important than the quantity. Is yours Small/Dense or Large/Fluffy ?

We already do this! Patents and copyrights are temporary monopolies granted to creators, businesses and inventors -- though copyright lasts entirely too long -- to spark that invention. a Business Monopoly seems completely reasonable to me.

Perhaps say “ok” a little less…and improve your fitness so you’re not entirely out of breath just from being on stage

Champagne is a spinoff of Venetian Prosecco.

Frustrating that there seems to be no published work by this Durham Univ. researcher after this small pilot study published in 2021 (actually much of the dementia data is from the US study published in 2017 !) that is talked about in the latter part of the talk (worse, the paper details are behind a paywall). If this is so great, why the complete silence. The researcher has published other topics but nothing more on this. --- A review paper of near infrared devices used for photobiomodulation in 2024 concludes, "Although brain photobiomodulation has been studied for over two decades and has been proven to induce beneficial effects on various health conditions, it is uncertain which parameters are more suitable and cause more beneficial effect for different pathologies and patients. This fact is further intensified by the lack of consistency in the reporting of these studies, both in terms of parameters and device description, which is detrimental for research of this field since a significant part of the studies and results cannot be reproduced neither compared."

Since near IR is about half the sun's spectrum and green plants reflect near IR, the question remains whether simply sitting out in the sun in the shade of tree every day won't do the same thing. He mentions at 9:35 that some wavelengths other than around 1072 nm are not so good at least for inducing Nitric Oxide production. So it's seems an important question.

12:06 uses infra red (1072 nm) to reduce beta-amyloid in a classic Alzheimer's mouse model. At 3:25 claims you can't tackle Alzheimer's with a single target, single drug, but in effect that's what he has done here. If such a simple, non-invasive treatement has been around for 20 years and if it cures? or is as ground breaking as claimed in the description, then why is not immediately been adopted years ago?

Those lockers would be smashed within a week.

Can we use an infrared lamp that is used to help sore muscles for any of these therapies .?

That was very interesting, but there is a fundamental issue with using the government to do those things - it's success and failures are not affecting the people that make the choice in any way. Another more complex issue is that the agreement on what is a "good idea" changes, in my home country (which is a former British colony) we had several issues with using fax as a standard way to communicate with official government bodies for a few decades after everyone had already thrown away their fax machines. For the idea on the last minute, we also have a luxury tax of over a hundred percent on cars, and nobody thinks to change it now that every household in the median 20% have two of those. These problems are much more difficult to solve than finding a single rich person who is sold on your idea.

The initial part about the cars is wrong. Combustion engines won the day beacuse of their durability and their range. He is right about monopolies when they are publicly owned. BUT private owned monopolies tends to push prices upwards.

New drinking game, drink each time you hear "ok"

Actually, Norwegian and Swedish are pretty much mutually understandable. However, even though written Danish is almost identical to written Norwegian, spoken Danish has several dialects, most of them are almost totally incomprehensible to their Scandinavian cousins and some sound more like Dutch.

What I'd like to see is centralised advertising. Isn't it absurd that adverts themselves have developed this image of being an intrusive nuisance? Adverts can't even market themselves effectively? How about instead of ruining your experience of basically every service out there, we stick to a central location where you can voluntarily search for the kinds of things you're interested in seeing marketing for, maybe search for figures who endorse certain products/services who you want to support. Then a simple link to their website. There needs to be some impartial element to marketing, otherwise it's such a conflict of interest.

I'm going to have to look deeper into what is available on the market. Mr Chazot says here that the optimal wavelength is 1068-1072, whereas most of what is for sale online seems to be 650ish red and 850ish NIR, which I'm guessing would be less than optimal(?) I want to invest in the best equipment available, and not waste money on things that may not work, or at least not work well.

Economically perhaps monopolies can occasionally help…however when a monopoly controls political and social messaging you create a nightmare and surrender control to them.

I've long believed that data protection concerns are a major blocker to opening up public monoliths like the NHS. Expanding provision to private hospitals and clinics is tenable if the government or some long-sighted, responsible public monopoly body keeps hold of patient data centrally. That information in the hands of for-profit private companies is begging to be monetised and sold on, absent hugely draconian data privacy laws, but splitting it up between providers loses the benefits and insights that can be leveraged by holding it all in one place.

So funny and clever

My big issue is, mercantilism is a big step towards commie crap. It has to be set as a service with mo rights to discriminate and politicians have to play nice with it.

By definition, if monopolies exist, it's not free market.

Australian here we actually encourage innovation and development. We even have a TV show that discusses marketing called gruen

I think an Oligopoly would be preferred with specified rules of engagement, targets and funding, give the industry time to build up, and once the concept is proven, or a superlative alternative is found; remove the training wheels, and let the players gouge each others eyes out as usual. It's not stated plainly, but quite frankly it's a democratized, and legislated, orderly, cards on the table style of doing what the PRC is doing with EV, and to a painfully evident degree of success. It is time for us to listen to you, and emulate them.

25:44 Second language example

When I first got herpes back in 1974, the Naval doctor I saw treated my herpes with a heat lamp with infrared. I find it interesting that's where your study initially started. Amazing results with Infrared Near Light therapy. I recently started using it for pain. After two days (two twenty minutes sessions each day), I haven't had to take my pain medication. I'm still experiencing some mild pain, but not like it was a few days ago. I'm expecting with continued use, healing will take place in the areas causing the pain!

Monopolies are absolutely the most efficient mode of organisation in some times, places and sectors. That there should be single monopoly, and that monopoly should be bounded by geography, is an extra claim.

You see this issue of "too many players" in software. Making a new "framework" is so easy, there's so little friction that new front end web frameworks come up constantly. There is also no solution, you cannot force people not to publish them. Then what happens? People buy into it while the ecosystem is thriving, then it dries up because people start the fun new project, and now you find yourself stuck in a technological tarpit you cannot unstick yourself from. Not to speak of all the people that become experts in technologies that are now undesireable.

excellent

Imperial penny post would have been 1d, not 1P.

Agree with all except the monarchy being a proper government system just because it's totalitarian

An English speaker should learn an obscure second language like Welsh. That way you can speak and write without most other people understanding you, except in a pub in Conwy.

Very interesting

4:54 How is the current situation of the government enforcing all the rules of roads and traffic, akin to the government not intervening in the market? Just because it isn't making accommodations for driverless cars, doesn't mean the private sector is free of its influence. Only in the case of privately owned, unregulated roads across the city would that be the case.

I like his talk but what the fuck is he wearing??? Red shirt. Black double brested suit jacket Striped drawsting trousers ????

Network goods can be classified as merit goods, which create externalities. My usage of the good, increases the value accrued to you, even though we may not know each other

Government is very hard to work with. They are slow and expensive to work with. If the government "helps" businesses - it will overwhelmingly help rich and slow companies. Not a good idea. Here's one word for your proposal: Lobbying

29:00 What he's describing has already been invented. It's called a patent.

22:24 Or we all adopt an open, interoperable standard. We make the standard a Monopoly and not the companies themselves.

Edit the video down to half the length by snipping out occurrences of "OK" and "kind of"

The government has a role in business. That's why it's called political economy.

2:40, really missed a chance to say "marsupial minds"... Womp womp

Hello I watched your video on treating Alhezimer and parkinson. I would like to know whether it will work on multi scelorsis ( MS ). Thanks
