Given how every *single* GOP position is doublethink, I propose that all their positions be given in the form of both competing beliefs.
"Only true patriots are willing to commit treason and attempt to secede. You're the one's committing treason and seceding, not us."
This is now turning into a mainstream GOP platform.
Given how every *single* GOP position is doublethink, I propose that all their positions be given in the form of both competing beliefs.
"He said X. He also denied X."
"He said his opponent was doing Y. He also stated his willingness to do Y."
Do not help them give the illusion of having a coherent ideology or position.
Find another, which you will, who claims that it's the federal government that's actually seceding from him.

One theory for why the Spanish flu was so unusually lethal for young people:
They hadn't lived through the previous flu pandemic of 1889-1890 (https://t.co/OiDZYtdbWx) that killed about 1 million people. And thus had no carryover immunity.
It's suspected that the 1889 pandemic was not influenza, but a coronavirus.
The 1889 virus spread rapidly, killing mostly the elderly.
The 1889 virus was the first truly modern pandemic: people knew about germs, it spread via trains, it spread at the speed of modern transportation and commerce
Today's covid denialists are tomorrow's openly eugenicist "these disabled people are a drain on society"

Literally. 13 years after the Spanish flu, the very first people the nazis targeted were disabled people.
What caused a lot of those disabilities, you think?

So you want to generate interesting melodies.
1. Make a file called 1235.txt containing, one per line, all 24 unique permutations of the elements 1 2 3 5.
2. Cp 1235.txt to D.txt
3. Use sed to convert the numbers in D.txt to notes. Now you have 24 permutations of the major tetrachord in D.
4. Play them each. If it sounds like it increases tension, mark the beginning of that cell in 1235.txt with a +. If it sounds like it decreases tension, mark with a -.
Now those 24 melodic cells are divided into two groups: tension increasers and resolvers.
5. Rinse and repeat for all 12 keys.
You now have 13 plaintext files, filled with stuff like + 1 2 5 3 and - D E F# A
6. Figuratively roll dice to decide, given a +/- cell, what the next cell should be.
33% chance a + follows a +, etc.
Now you're outputting a stream of dynamic tensions: ++-+++-+-+---+ etc

It is literally just a mesh of resistors and some light bulbs. No logic gates, no programming, nothing at all resembling AI.

Look at some historical examples of mass psychogenic illnesses: dancing plagues, laughing plagues, meowing nuns,
Here's a video on them:
They are interesting, but what is more interesting to me is Culture Bound Syndrome. https://t.co/hMKaApUMZn
Basically: mass psychogenic illness, and presentation of various mental illnesses, do not occur in a vacuum. Cultures shape them.
For instance, Koro.
There have been several mass outbreaks of men completely convinced their penises are shrinking, anchoring them with string at night so they don't get sucked back inside.
Almost all in Southeast
Here's a description of one outbreak in Hainan in 1984:
