Well, you read through the study and they had a fluoride concentration of like seven parts per million. So the higher you go, the worse it gets, or not the worse it gets, but it can cause more damage. If you eat enough potassium, you're going to die. You have enough fluoride, you're going to have bad effects. Right. the genesis of fluoride, I mean, is really interesting.

So there was a dentist named Frederick McKay out in Colorado Springs. And, um, he, he noticed his patients in this village or this town, um, that were near a mining operation had like, it's called Rocky model, Rocky mountain model teeth. And their teeth had like a gray, a brown tinge to it. And he's like, this is really weird that they have this brown tinge, but these people have no cavities.

Like they're... They're good. Whereas people outside this region, they had clean white teeth, but they had cavities. It's like, there's something going on here. And there was a company that was mining aluminum from the mountains nearby, and they discovered that they were injecting or liberating fluoride into the water, and they were drinking the water. And it was very high.

And there was a company that was mining aluminum from the mountains nearby, and they discovered that they were injecting or liberating fluoride into the water, and they were drinking the water. And it was very high.
It was like 13 parts per million. It was very, very high. They were probably very sick, too. But that's why they had that intense brown staining. And people don't understand why fluoride is in the water. They just know like, oh, it's there because the government put it there. It's to make people stupid and couldn't be further from the truth.

uh what speech with uh what george bush senior when he said we we there is a new world order after oh yeah after the cold war that we are going to start implementing yeah yeah yeah i mean we could go that that's a whole different kind of words yeah the new world order yes yes um but with the with the again the the the mechanics you know understanding how it works so

This is why fluoride isn't in water and why it's good. And I can get into why it shouldn't be in the water. I think people should have the choice to drink water if they don't want it altered.

So fluoride, I think it does have some antibacterial properties, but the amount of fluoride in the water, now maybe there's a higher concentration before it goes out to the public where they could clean it. I mean, that could be like very, very high concentration, but it's reduced if it goes out to the public supply for water. Right. But getting back to the mechanics of fluoride.

So your teeth are made of a crystalline mineral called hydroxyapatite. And it's a crystalline structure of calcium. It's why you need calcium for your bones. Phosphorus and hydroxy, which is an OH molecule, hydrogen and oxygen. And hydroxyapatite will dissolve when exposed to acid over time. And it'll break down from erosion, just eating and stuff, and it just decays.

I'm like, guys, like, stop. We're going to inhale the fumes. We're going to get brain damage. This is going to be bad. And they're not going to listen to me. Yeah, sure. Just keep, just keep burning stuff. And there was a kid in my troop named Michael, and this kid was very smart. Like, at the age of 14, he could have started college. Very bright kid.

So that's why you need to intake calcium and phosphorus in your diet to replenish the hydroxyapatite. Well, it turns out fluoride can also bond in this crystalline structure, and it forms a new crystal called fluoroapatite. And fluoroapatite, based on the atomic properties of fluorine, makes a stronger crystalline structure.

So it doesn't break down as fast when exposed to acid, and it's more resilient overall.

whether you're taking in calcium or phosphorus or fluoride um you're replenishing you're replenishing that uh floral appetite crystalline structure so you don't have to have fluoride but it's just better it's like you don't have to have snow tires in the winter time but it's a lot better so um you know that's why it's in the water now i do think people should have to say like hey i don't want fluoride better for your teeth for your teeth correct teeth

From discovery to application was a long time. It wasn't like, hey, we found fluoride, put it in the water, boom. It was around 30 years before people were like, let's do this. Really? Yes. The first time water was fluoridated in the U.S. was 1945 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Wow. And before that, so McKay made this discovery.

And of course you have the peer review process and people are like very skeptical, you know? Yeah, sure, sure. So there was a department of, I don't think it's in existence, Department of Public Health of Dentistry or something, but they commissioned a 21-city study where they went to 21 different cities and checked fluoride concentrations as opposed to low fluoride concentrations.

And they found this is consistent, where people have fluoride in the water have lower concentrations. and people who have no fluoride. And so it was over 30, 40 years, like if we're gonna put this in the water, this has to work. And so that's what they did. There was a very long study. So lots of people were skeptical, like, no, this is madness. Put fluoride in water? What are you nuts?

Like put chlorine in water? And it's not- How about just brush your teeth? How about that? Right, right. Yes, yes. Yeah. I mean, you could just do that. There's fluoride in your- In your toothpaste?
Like put chlorine in water? And it's not- How about just brush your teeth? How about that? Right, right. Yes, yes. Yeah. I mean, you could just do that. There's fluoride in your- In your toothpaste?
Oh, really? Really? And you know what? Like at the end of the day, you don't have to have fluoride. Like you'll do just fine. It's just, it's, it's better. It's not necessary, but if you want it, it's fine.

Gosh, maybe two or three. Two or three?
Gosh, maybe two or three. Two or three?
And I'm like, Michael, like, we're going to die. We're going to have brain damage. Oh, my gosh. And he's like, oh, no, no, no. There's plenty of ventilation out here. The fumes are going to disperse. And there's oxygen from the trees. We're going to be fine. And immediately, it was like a switch got turned on. And I'm like...

Yes, yeah. And most of the studies, just by nature of – The what was available, a lot of studies came from China and India. And a lot of the people that they sampled were near industrial activity.
Yes, yeah. And most of the studies, just by nature of – The what was available, a lot of studies came from China and India. And a lot of the people that they sampled were near industrial activity.
And there was one study, I think it was either in China or India, but there was like a village or a town of people and they found high fluoride concentration and they're like, yeah, this is causing cognitive issues. And it was high, but there was also arsenic in the water as well from the industrial processes. There's high levels of phosphorus and, you know, Arsenic is a toxin.

And it was high, but there was also arsenic in the water as well from the industrial processes. There's high levels of phosphorus and, you know, Arsenic is a toxin.
Phosphorus, if you have too much, can cause problems. So we're really kind of saying like, yeah, there's fluoride, but there's also other things as well. So it depends. If you're looking for high concentrations, you're going to see problems. If you're looking for low concentrations, you're not going to see problems.

Right. So with people, with studies where they had, I'm not sure if it was high amount of fluoride, but it was probably like the therapeutic dose. And this is kind of the humor behind it is that they found that countries with therapeutic doses of fluoride in countries that didn't have it, generally people were like roughly the same. Fluoride is not going to stop you from getting cavities.

Fluoride is not going to stop you from getting cavities.
I mean, I've had cavities. I drink fluoridated water all the time. It's just something additional to help. It's by no means like this magic bullet that if you drink fluoride, you're never going to get cavities. If you have high fluoridated water, black tea has a lot of fluoride in it. Oh, interesting. And if you drink lots of black tea, higher fluoride, you'll have lower chances of cavities.

And if you drink lots of black tea, higher fluoride, you'll have lower chances of cavities.
But it's like it's an additional thing to have. But I mean, if you would say fluoride stops cavities, like that's not true unless it's really, really high. Right.
But it's like it's an additional thing to have. But I mean, if you would say fluoride stops cavities, like that's not true unless it's really, really high. Right.
I heard Japan because of like their diet.
I heard Japan because of like their diet.
oh, now that I know why it's not a big deal, why I'm going to be safe, there's comfort in knowing why things are going to be good and how it works, the mechanics of that situation. And so I immediately had this trust and comfort and science and understanding, you know, dispersion of fumes in an open area versus like a room or something. So that's like that's like the first part. Right. Yeah.
oh, now that I know why it's not a big deal, why I'm going to be safe, there's comfort in knowing why things are going to be good and how it works, the mechanics of that situation.

So that's like that's like the first part. Right. Yeah.
I can't remember the food being fluoridated, but.
I can't remember the food being fluoridated, but.
mean you got some explaining to do oh boy oh boy yeah yeah so i mean fluoride is not used to extend like of course there's many other factors to this right yeah but i mean um i i knew before we even searched there's gonna be one country in the mediterranean the mediterranean diet High olive oil, fish, lots of good fats. And Japan, I mean, the diet's big, they have lots of rice.
mean you got some explaining to do oh boy oh boy yeah yeah so i mean fluoride is not used to extend like of course there's many other factors to this right yeah but i mean um i i knew before we even searched there's gonna be one country in the mediterranean the mediterranean diet High olive oil, fish, lots of good fats. And Japan, I mean, the diet's big, they have lots of rice.
So, I mean, not a whole lot of red meat and I think more fish too. I mean, they do have beef in their diet, but I think more of their diets on like rice and fish, which is a bit more healthier.
So, I mean, not a whole lot of red meat and I think more fish too. I mean, they do have beef in their diet, but I think more of their diets on like rice and fish, which is a bit more healthier.
Yeah. Yeah. Uh, bleached flour. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Uh, bleached flour. Yeah.
Yeah. I think they're eating a lot more white rice. I think rice is, I mean, there's no gluten in rice, but no gluten. Um, really? Yeah. Gluten is a grain protein, cotton grain. Rice, I'm not sure what rice is technically in the classification, but I know that a lot of the Japanese diet is a lot of fish. Fish is good, the omega-3 fatty acids, omega-6.

Oh, that's, yeah. I mean, that's that, Hey, you want me to agree on that? That's absolutely.
Oh, that's, yeah. I mean, that's that, Hey, you want me to agree on that? That's absolutely.
Well, still, I mean, you eat too much fish, you're going to have mercury. Yeah. Yeah.
Well, still, I mean, you eat too much fish, you're going to have mercury. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, they're just engulfing fish themselves, tons. So of course they're going to get high levels of mercury, too.
Yeah, they're just engulfing fish themselves, tons. So of course they're going to get high levels of mercury, too.
Yeah, it's so small, yeah. Gotcha. I eat a good amount of salmon. I love salmon. Salmon's delicious, yeah. I don't eat too much, hopefully, where it's causing issues. It's like once a week.
Yeah, it's so small, yeah. Gotcha. I eat a good amount of salmon. I love salmon. Salmon's delicious, yeah. I don't eat too much, hopefully, where it's causing issues. It's like once a week.
Oh, farm salmon's dog shit.
Oh, farm salmon's dog shit.
I eat wild caught salmon.
I eat wild caught salmon.
But I go to, you know, merchants that sell it.
But I go to, you know, merchants that sell it.
The second part is with my dad. So my dad, um, was a Lieutenant Colonel in the air force. He was also a nurse in the ICU and, um, for 30 years. So he had a lot of crazy stories, just, I mean, graphic stories and me being curious to now being interested in science and disease and cancer. I, I would ask him things, you know, like, Hey, you know, What happens if you drink bleach?

I, I would ask him things, you know, like, Hey, you know, What happens if you drink bleach?
And you can like, so my wife and I, we eat salmon wild caught every week, like once a week. And we were getting it. They were out, but they had farm salmon and we had the farm salmon. We couldn't even finish it. It was disgusting.
And you can like, so my wife and I, we eat salmon wild caught every week, like once a week. And we were getting it. They were out, but they had farm salmon and we had the farm salmon. We couldn't even finish it. It was disgusting.
My dad is part of the genesis of dark science. But it really is multifaceted. So as a kid, when I grew up, I was very – terrified of like dying, you know, like I was terrified of death. My pets died. My grandparents died. You don't understand it as a kid, you know, just know that death happens and it could happen to you. It could happen to your parents. And it's like, well, this is terrifying.

My grandparents died. You don't understand it as a kid, you know, just know that death happens and it could happen to you. It could happen to your parents. And it's like, well, this is terrifying.
Yeah, yeah. And, like, when you see wild-caught salmon and farmed salmon, the wild-caught's, like, a nice, vibrant, darker, like, pink, whereas the farmed is, like, an orange-pink. It just looks bad. Like, what the hell am I eating?
Yeah, yeah. And, like, when you see wild-caught salmon and farmed salmon, the wild-caught's, like, a nice, vibrant, darker, like, pink, whereas the farmed is, like, an orange-pink. It just looks bad. Like, what the hell am I eating?
And when we were cooking it, like, so, I'm not sure, like, it's the fats in fish.
And when we were cooking it, like, so, I'm not sure, like, it's the fats in fish.
So when we were cooking the farmed salmon, you could see. So I think it's like the omega fats in the fish.
So when we were cooking the farmed salmon, you could see. So I think it's like the omega fats in the fish.
When they reach heat, when they get heated, they like turn white. You know what I mean? And when you put the farmed salmon in the frying pan, it's just seeping all this white goo out of it. It's the higher fat content. It's like, this is awful. The wild caught, I mean, cooks perfectly fine.

It's based on the diet, what they're feeding it, their lifestyle.
It's based on the diet, what they're feeding it, their lifestyle.
My friends and I went to an all-you-can-eat sushi place, like 25 bucks, and they'll give you all you can eat. And I'm eating the sushi. This is good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then the thought hit me. I'm like, this is all farmed salmon.
My friends and I went to an all-you-can-eat sushi place, like 25 bucks, and they'll give you all you can eat. And I'm eating the sushi. This is good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then the thought hit me. I'm like, this is all farmed salmon.
Yeah. Because there's no way they're catching wild caught salmon and just...
Yeah. Because there's no way they're catching wild caught salmon and just...
I think lots of it is in Japan, I think, actually.
I think lots of it is in Japan, I think, actually.
So I used to work- They farm them in Japan? I used to work at Red Lobster. I was a cook for seven years. Really? Yes. So I'm like an amazing cook, you know? And all of our fish that came in frozen- I used to love the Captain's Feast. Captain's Feast. The hell was that? Was it like fried- No, it was the Admiral's Feast.

Oh gosh, it's terrible. Yeah. All of our fish that came in that was frozen was Japan, Japan, Japan, Japan. And I'm like, well, they're an island.
Oh gosh, it's terrible. Yeah. All of our fish that came in that was frozen was Japan, Japan, Japan, Japan. And I'm like, well, they're an island.
Convenience is destroying us. It's so bad. I mean, just like the convenience from, you know, pre like, like the processed food.
Convenience is destroying us. It's so bad. I mean, just like the convenience from, you know, pre like, like the processed food.
I think, um, I mean, yeah, I'm sure that has a huge effect on it too. I think beef is just, it's, it's heavy. We, we eat bison burgers, bison's more lean. So when you eat a bison burger, like I feel like I can go for a run, you know, it's, it's not as heavy, but, um, I'm, I'm sure the process of how they're raised and, you know, processed definitely plays a role for sure.

What happens if you do this? And he would, no problem, explain it. He would say, oh yeah, I had a patient who, their liver ripped open and there's blood everywhere and we tried to triage this way and that. And I was just like, okay. And he had no problem because in his mind and what the situation was, he was educating me on what was happening.

No. So if you're doing a study based on one parts per million, which is what we have in the U.S., that doesn't cause any issues. Two things, two caveats. High fluoride concentration can cause issues in developing children and specifically infants. So even with an infant, if the mother is drinking lots of black tea,
No. So if you're doing a study based on one parts per million, which is what we have in the U.S., that doesn't cause any issues. Two things, two caveats. High fluoride concentration can cause issues in developing children and specifically infants. So even with an infant, if the mother is drinking lots of black tea,
Higher fluoride, that can actually cause issues, and they've done studies where they found infants that were in regions with high fluoride concentration or their mothers had a diet high in fluoride, lots of tea. I think certain vegetables, I think carrots, I think. I could be wrong on that, but certain vegetables have lots of fluoride.

I think certain vegetables, I think carrots, I think. I could be wrong on that, but certain vegetables have lots of fluoride.
They found that children that had, while developing, lots of fluoride did have cognitive issues. So it's more of a concentration issue than it is the actual fluoride. So got it. You know, again, you eat enough potassium, you're, you're going to have problems.

Well, so it's not like a federal program. I mean, it's based on the states. Some states have it. Some states don't.
Well, so it's not like a federal program. I mean, it's based on the states. Some states have it. Some states don't.
I thought there was a lot.
I thought there was a lot.
A quarter of it, I thought.
A quarter of it, I thought.
It might even be a county. I think it's a state, though. But it could be county.
It might even be a county. I think it's a state, though. But it could be county.
Yeah. Yeah. But it's probably based on the municipality though.
Yeah. Yeah. But it's probably based on the municipality though.
And again, I'm, I'm all for like, people should have like a choice.
And again, I'm, I'm all for like, people should have like a choice.
If there's not natural fluoride in the area.
If there's not natural fluoride in the area.
Yeah. I mean, I don't think you're getting too much of a diet from water and minerals. You need it just for like metabolic processes and just living. But I mean, you don't think you get too much minerals or ions from your water, really. That's more based on like your diet, you know, fruit, vegetables, that has lots of minerals, you know?
Yeah. I mean, I don't think you're getting too much of a diet from water and minerals. You need it just for like metabolic processes and just living.

I remember as a kid, I would wear my seatbelt across my abdomen And he would say, no, put it below your navel at your pelvic girdle. I'm like, well, why? He goes, I've had patients, they get into car accidents, the seatbelt compresses their abdomen and just rips their organs apart, you know? And so just knowing that is like, okay, gotcha, gotcha.

So, I mean, if you drink deionized water, you know, you're probably okay. So-
So, I mean, if you drink deionized water, you know, you're probably okay. So-
Yeah, that just 30 million views. I can't believe it still.
Yeah, that just 30 million views. I can't believe it still.
No, but I do say lots of no, no words and YouTube's like, yeah, it's fine. But that was before I think they really cracked down on like the first 15 seconds. Sometimes they go back and fuck older videos.
No, but I do say lots of no, no words and YouTube's like, yeah, it's fine. But that was before I think they really cracked down on like the first 15 seconds. Sometimes they go back and fuck older videos.
Really? Yeah.
Really? Yeah.
Did they say what it was?

Right.
Right.
And you're not counting for wind.

Jeez Louise. Just like a little nick there, too.
Jeez Louise. Just like a little nick there, too.
I thought it was iron sight from like the picture. Yeah.
I thought it was iron sight from like the picture. Yeah.
So now I know why that's, and the pelvic girdle, he would say your pelvis is more stable. If it compresses, you're going to be okay. Um, and just like that curiosity, that morbid curiosity, that's kind of like, you know, did your dad have the same curiosity?

Gosh, it's crossing both hemispheres, too. Yeah. Yeah, you're... You're a goner.
Gosh, it's crossing both hemispheres, too. Yeah. Yeah, you're... You're a goner.
Oh, with a hunting rifle? You're not even going to have a head.
Oh, with a hunting rifle? You're not even going to have a head.
I mean... Pieces out of the head, maybe.
I mean... Pieces out of the head, maybe.
It depends if it's like a low caliber and they get nicked or that the right position they get hit, you know, there are ways to, and I'm going to say this very lightly and not super seriously.
It depends if it's like a low caliber and they get nicked or that the right position they get hit, you know, there are ways to, and I'm going to say this very lightly and not super seriously.
There are ways to survive a headshot, but I mean the right conditions we're talking like, you know, a hair's width. Right. And even then it's like, Probably not, but you could.
There are ways to survive a headshot, but I mean the right conditions we're talking like, you know, a hair's width. Right. And even then it's like, Probably not, but you could.
Sometimes, yes. Sometimes, though. Gabby Gifford, the senator or congresswoman from Arizona who was shot back in 2010, she's still alive. That was a nine-millimeter point-blank range.
Sometimes, yes. Sometimes, though. Gabby Gifford, the senator or congresswoman from Arizona who was shot back in 2010, she's still alive. That was a nine-millimeter point-blank range.
Yep. So, I mean, you can survive, and there's a lot of factors.
Yep. So, I mean, you can survive, and there's a lot of factors.
Yeah. Um, I mean, not normally she has deficits.
Yeah. Um, I mean, not normally she has deficits.
Yep. And he's also a Senator now too, from same state. Yeah. What happened to him?
Yep. And he's also a Senator now too, from same state. Yeah. What happened to him?
Yeah. Oh. So at the DNC back in, like, 2010, she recited the Pledge of Allegiance. And she was getting through it, but with, like, some difficulty. But she stood up and, like, I pledge allegiance to the flag. Wow, dude. You know, so she's not the same person, right? You're going to have changes in personality and brain function. It's very sad. Yeah. Man, that's terrible. Yeah.

What kind of a gun was it? I think it was a nine mil. A nine mil. And one of the factors, so.
What kind of a gun was it? I think it was a nine mil. A nine mil. And one of the factors, so.
Huge factor. The velocity is bigger than the caliber. because the velocity, the higher the velocity, the bigger the shockwave that's being put on the head. So the way I kind of started this video, the way I kind of got into it is my dad bought a book on forensics about all kinds of shots in the body, stomach, foot, leg, head, neck. And there was a whole section on getting shot in the head.

And I was just like drawn to this book. Yeah, Malala too. Yeah. I think she was shot with... An AK.
And I was just like drawn to this book. Yeah, Malala too. Yeah. I think she was shot with... An AK.
Jeez. The book. The book, yeah. And there's this whole section on getting shot in the head, and I'm thinking, like, bullet goes in, bullet goes out, like you're dead. But the amount of, like, details that go into the physics of getting shot in the head, I'm like, this is incredible. Like, one thing that just...
Jeez. The book. The book, yeah. And there's this whole section on getting shot in the head, and I'm thinking, like, bullet goes in, bullet goes out, like you're dead. But the amount of, like, details that go into the physics of getting shot in the head, I'm like, this is incredible. Like, one thing that just...
threw me away was when the bullet goes in the head and the shockwave expands the tissue in the skull, you get cracking at the temples and sometimes the orbital because the skull is expanding. And you just don't think about that stuff. You're like, yeah, it's like a puncture wound. It's really not.

I shadowed there. So when I was in college, I was going for med tech to be like a lab scientist, um, and like a hospital. And so I just shadowed in the ICU for a week. And I'm like,
I shadowed there. So when I was in college, I was going for med tech to be like a lab scientist, um, and like a hospital. And so I just shadowed in the ICU for a week. And I'm like,
It's spinning, yeah. But the actual shockwave is from the production of the shockwave is the velocity of the bullet going in. So I made a video on can you survive a headshot or how to survive a headshot. And the ways that you survive, again, is a smaller caliber and a lower velocity. So this is like a pistol, like handgun. The best case is like a .22 caliber pistol, you know?
It's spinning, yeah. But the actual shockwave is from the production of the shockwave is the velocity of the bullet going in.

The farther away, the much better.
The farther away, the much better.
Um, so there's reports of people being shot in the head with one of those with like small caliber handguns and the bullet just bouncing off their head If it's a far enough distance if it loses enough energy and it doesn't bounce off like a ping pong ball I mean, it's like you're getting smacked with like a hammer because that thing still has a ton of energy It's not enough to puncture and go into your skull, but it's enough to you know, deposit that energy and it's just boom you know, um
Um, so there's reports of people being shot in the head with one of those with like small caliber handguns and the bullet just bouncing off their head If it's a far enough distance if it loses enough energy and it doesn't bounce off like a ping pong ball I mean, it's like you're getting smacked with like a hammer because that thing still has a ton of energy It's not enough to puncture and go into your skull, but it's enough to you know, deposit that energy and it's just boom you know, um
My dad was telling me a story. One of his friends went out to... This is during the Iraq War or something. And the insurgents were shooting their AK-47s up in the air. And a bullet came down and hit a kid in the head. It had lost enough energy where it didn't puncture, but he got smacked in the head with the force of a hammer. The kid lived, but it was just...

absolutely not no way because it is just constant death and you see people in their worst states and it's like no but my but my dad you know you got to have that sort of mindset and just to deal with it and he had seen it for so long he was like oh yeah this person you know bled out and we we did this and that i'm like all right so i was kind of raised a little bit different from you know
absolutely not no way because it is just constant death and you see people in their worst states and it's like no but my but my dad you know you got to have that sort of mindset and just to deal with it and he had seen it for so long he was like oh yeah this person you know bled out and we we did this and that i'm like all right so i was kind of raised a little bit different from you know
Wow.
Wow.
Wow, yeah. Near-death experience.
Wow, yeah. Near-death experience.
Did it pierce the helmet?
Did it pierce the helmet?
Really?
Really?
Gosh. wild yeah it's still very lethal you could have cracking of the skull just the concussion your brain bouncing back off your skull yeah geez gosh um but yeah um to survive a headshot again lower caliber smaller velocity big thing is the hemispheres of the brain um Gabby Gifford and a couple other people I'd mentioned in the one video, most of the bullets had gone through one hemisphere.
Gosh. wild yeah it's still very lethal you could have cracking of the skull just the concussion your brain bouncing back off your skull yeah geez gosh um but yeah um to survive a headshot again lower caliber smaller velocity big thing is the hemispheres of the brain um Gabby Gifford and a couple other people I'd mentioned in the one video, most of the bullets had gone through one hemisphere.
And this has to do with connectivity in the brain. If you cross two hemispheres, if one hemisphere is damaged, you have the other to kind of compensate. But if it goes through both, first off, you're losing both sides. So that's a deficit there. Also, if you cross the hemisphere, there's a good chance, first off, you're going to – break connection in the brain.

Also, if you cross the hemisphere, there's a good chance, first off, you're going to – break connection in the brain.
There's a lot of connection between the left and right hemispheres. And so even if you have a bullet that goes through one hemisphere and kind of goes through the other, if it breaks enough connectivity, it can't compensate. But a big thing is if you have a bullet go through both hemispheres and it hits the amygdala, the brain stem, the hypothalamus, it's over.

But a big thing is if you have a bullet go through both hemispheres and it hits the amygdala, the brain stem, the hypothalamus, it's over.
I mean, those are like your most primordial sections of the brain that keep you alive. Those get hit, you're out, you're done, period. But if one hemisphere, you know, this way, you're like kind of diagonal, you can live. I mean, I wouldn't ever say like, let's try it, you know, like one hemisphere, boom. But it's just, you have better chances. So.

Not that I know of.
Not that I know of.
I know that there was one, I think in Russia, they were going to do it. Some guy had like, I think terminal cancer or something. I think like he backed out at the last second.
I know that there was one, I think in Russia, they were going to do it. Some guy had like, I think terminal cancer or something. I think like he backed out at the last second.
They've done it with mice. Really? Yeah. Yep. And the mice don't live. They die within like a day or so, maybe even a couple hours. But they do find that there is some prolonged activity, but it's not enough. I mean an organ transplant can be hit or miss. A head transplant, I mean you're talking like –

But they do find that there is some prolonged activity, but it's not enough. I mean an organ transplant can be hit or miss. A head transplant, I mean you're talking like –
with that morbid curiosity, but in a good sense of like understanding it. Right. Um, but why he chose the ICU, I think that's just where he ended up and he just stuck with it and said, I'm just going to do this.
with that morbid curiosity, but in a good sense of like understanding it. Right. Um, but why he chose the ICU, I think that's just where he ended up and he just stuck with it and said, I'm just going to do this.
one in like a million working, you know, unless the science, you know, in the future, but they have done mice.
one in like a million working, you know, unless the science, you know, in the future, but they have done mice.
You don't say.
You don't say.
But again, with the mice, they die.
But again, with the mice, they die.
But I think in one study they did it, and the mouse had, again, some prolonged activity in its body. It just didn't die immediately. It was alive for a little bit of time.
But I think in one study they did it, and the mouse had, again, some prolonged activity in its body. It just didn't die immediately. It was alive for a little bit of time.
But not like, yeah.
But not like, yeah.
I don't recall, no. That's a wild phenomenon.
I don't recall, no. That's a wild phenomenon.
Let's hope it works. Yeah. You know, cut the power cord.
Let's hope it works. Yeah. You know, cut the power cord.
Oh yeah. No way.
Oh yeah. No way.
Um, It changed him in the sense of he knew things could get real, you know. He did tell me a couple stories that he would begin to tear up. He had, you know, some patients die and he had, you know, he tried his best and sometimes that just happens, you know. That, I want to say like messed him up, but it just gave him a different perspective on like life. Yeah. Um, so yeah.

in the beginning stages of getting close is growing human organs, you know? That has science that that can actually be done. I mean, it's just, can we do it well enough where it's like, can it actually work? You know? Because when you're like a fetus or when you're like a clump of cells, you have stem cells. You're made of stem cells that can differentiate into different kinds of organs.

That's how when you're growing, you have organs. You have intestinal cells, stomach cells, because the cells can differentiate at certain stages. So if you have stem cells, you give those stem cells the right –

um triggers and the right nutrients they can form into a liver or a kidney or something right but i mean we're not there yet we can we can grow tissue like a small segment but we can't do a whole functioning organ you kind of need the whole need the real mccoy the body to actually do that

Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm not familiar with that. Yeah.
I'm not familiar with that. Yeah.
I know people think that they still use fetuses to get stem cells.
I know people think that they still use fetuses to get stem cells.
Yeah, but you can pull them for your own, I think, bone. Because the bones, I think, produce stem cells.
Yeah, but you can pull them for your own, I think, bone. Because the bones, I think, produce stem cells.
I think because it's not an approved procedure to actually do it yet. I think they're still kind of working out the kinks.
I think because it's not an approved procedure to actually do it yet. I think they're still kind of working out the kinks.
But if it goes wrong and something happens, you might blame the doctor. This isn't FDA approved and this should have been approved. I'm just thinking more of the legal stuff.
But if it goes wrong and something happens, you might blame the doctor. This isn't FDA approved and this should have been approved. I'm just thinking more of the legal stuff.
Um, so, you know, growing up as a kid, fearful, but then having the comfort in science and then the curiosity from my dad learning that stuff. I've always wanted to be a teacher. I love to teach and I love just learning things from teachers. And if you have a good teacher, man, you're just like, you're glued to the board. You're like, yeah, okay. And I wanted to go be a history teacher.

People say no to that because, again, they think of fetuses and they're getting stem cells from aborted babies, but it's embryonic. I think that's just one factor. I don't think it's the reason, but...
People say no to that because, again, they think of fetuses and they're getting stem cells from aborted babies, but it's embryonic. I think that's just one factor. I don't think it's the reason, but...
Is it that guy that's trying to like make himself young?
Is it that guy that's trying to like make himself young?
Cool.
Cool.
yeah once it starts to actually get you know figured out it gets cheaper you know um then it'll become more available but yeah the rich will have it first yeah for sure um yeah that's interesting that there's actually doing a billionaire's funding stem cell research i mean that's that's good they're gonna be the ones that live you know like they're gonna be the ones that live like 500 years the rest of us are going to be like like sequestered to only living 90 years
yeah once it starts to actually get you know figured out it gets cheaper you know um then it'll become more available but yeah the rich will have it first yeah for sure um yeah that's interesting that there's actually doing a billionaire's funding stem cell research i mean that's that's good they're gonna be the ones that live you know like they're gonna be the ones that live like 500 years the rest of us are going to be like like sequestered to only living 90 years
It's from the EMP.
It's from the EMP.
and vacuum tubes are gonna work so i believe the russian military does have some um stock like vacuum tube technology because it's it's emp proof oh really yep vacuum tubes yeah because all you're doing is you're you're heating two plates in a vacuum and you have a transfer of electrons Oh, wow. And there's, there's, there's no circuit there to be like burned up.

so i majored in history and um halfway through um i changed to biochem and um i changed because this is like 2009 2010 when the recession was was happening and uh teachers weren't leaving their positions their finances weren't good so they stayed in the jobs and um i was just told like you know teachers there's not many jobs so i'm like i'm just gonna go for stem

Really?
Really?
DARPA is crazy. Um, I had a professor in college just to kind of, cause you brought up DARPA. Um, he worked in research in the eighties and DARPA, I think DARPA was like the pre-internet.

basically yeah the arpanet is what it was called arpanet yes and he said people that were using arpa were uploading images of like nude women and stuff and so like essentially before there was the internet the proto internet had pornography you know really it's just like as as soon as you could share data people are going to do i know right like there's
basically yeah the arpanet is what it was called arpanet yes and he said people that were using arpa were uploading images of like nude women and stuff and so like essentially before there was the internet the proto internet had pornography you know really it's just like as as soon as you could share data people are going to do i know right like there's
Oh my gosh. That's.
Oh my gosh. That's.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Jeez Louise. So it really is just like toxic.
Jeez Louise. So it really is just like toxic.
Yeah. It's good and bad.
Yeah. It's good and bad.
As it should be. It's warfare, I mean, right?
As it should be. It's warfare, I mean, right?
Gosh.
Gosh.
5,000. Or 2,800. Jeez.
5,000. Or 2,800. Jeez.
Five tons, yeah. Five tons.
Five tons, yeah. Five tons.
Jeez. Well, Operation Paperclip, you know?
Jeez. Well, Operation Paperclip, you know?
Sounds like it, but I'm not sure.
Sounds like it, but I'm not sure.
Oh, wow.
Oh, wow.
And then went for biochem, and I'm like, well, I love science. I love teaching. I found a channel on YouTube called ASAP Science, which kind of does what I do, but it's more of like a lighthearted explanation of science. And I'm like, I can do this, and I love doing this, so I'm just going to do it. And that's how the channel kind of came to be.

Oh, thousands. I mean, your iPhone has billions of transistors. I mean, the scale-up is insane. I mean, what we have today is because of the discovery of the transistor. I mean, that makes everything possible.
Oh, thousands. I mean, your iPhone has billions of transistors. I mean, the scale-up is insane. I mean, what we have today is because of the discovery of the transistor. I mean, that makes everything possible.
um i mean just the amount of sheer power that had to go into those machines because again you're heating the way a vacuum tube works is you have a vacuum you know in a tube and you heat up a plate so hot that it emits electrons so it kind of you know yeah like like incandescence it uses incandescence um i think it is i believe it is yes
um i mean just the amount of sheer power that had to go into those machines because again you're heating the way a vacuum tube works is you have a vacuum you know in a tube and you heat up a plate so hot that it emits electrons so it kind of you know yeah like like incandescence it uses incandescence um i think it is i believe it is yes
And because there's like a vacuum, you know, they don't burn up from the oxygen. Right. And just the amount of power you need to heat up a plate so much that it's glowing. That's one, too. But imagine 2,800. It's insane. It's insane.

Gosh.
Gosh.
And then search for paperclip in there.
And then search for paperclip in there.
I know he did something with computer science as well. Um, the Von Neumann, like I think it's an architecture for computer circuits or like logic.
I know he did something with computer science as well. Um, the Von Neumann, like I think it's an architecture for computer circuits or like logic.
It really was a polymath. Geez. Wow.
It really was a polymath. Geez. Wow.
He did something with computer architecture. It's like the Von Neumann architecture. I could be wrong. It could be someone else.
He did something with computer architecture. It's like the Von Neumann architecture. I could be wrong. It could be someone else.
I mean, it was very good. Yeah, I know. Jeez. You know what's even scarier, though? Have you ever heard of Unit 731? Unit 737?
I mean, it was very good. Yeah, I know. Jeez. You know what's even scarier, though? Have you ever heard of Unit 731? Unit 737?
So the Japanese, during the war... Oh, yes, I've heard of that.
So the Japanese, during the war... Oh, yes, I've heard of that.
What were they doing again? 731, yeah. They were conducting all kinds of... I mean, it makes the concentration camps in Germany look like kindergarten. I mean, just the amount of stuff they were doing. All kinds of inhuman experiments. They would connect twins together. Oh, yeah.

And the U.S., a lot of people don't know, they didn't really prosecute the people who were in charge because as a sort of, you know, like a collateral, they're like, listen, we won't prosecute you if you give us your data on what you found.
And the U.S., a lot of people don't know, they didn't really prosecute the people who were in charge because as a sort of, you know, like a collateral, they're like, listen, we won't prosecute you if you give us your data on what you found.
And the data was like useless. It was just all torture basically, you know? Yeah.
And the data was like useless. It was just all torture basically, you know? Yeah.
And I think he died in Argentina at an old age, too, which is really terrible.
And I think he died in Argentina at an old age, too, which is really terrible.
I think we did, because they verified with the dental records.
I think we did, because they verified with the dental records.
Yeah. The Soviets found him, yeah. Unless they're just saying that.
Yeah. The Soviets found him, yeah. Unless they're just saying that.
I believe so, yeah. Because his bunker was, like, torched. So it was just, you know, that's how they used the dental records, yeah.
I believe so, yeah. Because his bunker was, like, torched. So it was just, you know, that's how they used the dental records, yeah.
And, um, my parents would say, Oh, Adam, relax. It's not going to happen to you. You're very young. You know, the chances are it's not going to happen. And that's not very reassuring for a kid. And the peak of like my fear of dying, I don't know why I had a fear, probably because I didn't understand it. There was a girl at the local high school, I was in like fourth grade.
And, um, my parents would say, Oh, Adam, relax. It's not going to happen to you. You're very young. You know, the chances are it's not going to happen. And that's not very reassuring for a kid. And the peak of like my fear of dying, I don't know why I had a fear, probably because I didn't understand it. There was a girl at the local high school, I was in like fourth grade.
I've never heard of that before.
I've never heard of that before.
And where was this taking place?
And where was this taking place?
might be like post nuclear war testing.
might be like post nuclear war testing.
I'm not sure if it was kids during that time. I mean, it's possible, but I know that they put a lot of GIs out in fields where they would detonate bombs. There's a very famous video of GIs in a trench, and they detonate a bomb. You can see the smoke streams.

And they detonate the bomb and they get up and they walk in the field. And I'm not sure if it's referencing that. Steve, you're going to have to dig a little more.

Jeez.
Jeez.
Goodness gracious.
Goodness gracious.
I mean, they had the Tuskegee experiments, too.
I mean, they had the Tuskegee experiments, too.
Thank you. Thank you. And you know, um, people ask me, how do you come up with these ideas? I mean, I think it's kind of hearkening back to my upbringing and, uh, having that morbid curiosity as a kid, I kind of developed it as like an adult. I try and make sure that like, since I love to teach, I want you to understand how this works. And to me, this is a big issue on YouTube science channels.

Well, I don't know. What about the Cold War made made people crazy with just like destruction.
Well, I don't know. What about the Cold War made made people crazy with just like destruction.
Goodness gracious.

Love Canal, too. But Tuskegee, yeah.
Love Canal, too. But Tuskegee, yeah.
In the 19... Well, yeah, the 1940s? This is actually where I live out in Buffalo. Love Canal, he's doing it right now, was a neighborhood that was owned by Hooker Chemical Company, and they dumped all kinds of chemical waste. They plowed it over, and they sold it to the city of Niagara Falls, and they built... neighborhoods over it.

And for like 20, 30 years, people were like, kids were having like deformed growth defects and cancer and stuff. And the government was like, yeah, it's fine. Just build houses here.

I was going to just mention that. Yeah. The, uh.
I was going to just mention that. Yeah. The, uh.
Well, my next video is on microplastics. Oh, really? Yeah. I did a whole deep dive on that and we're all screwed. We are legit screwed. Everyone... I read a couple studies where they took samples from people, fecal sample, blood samples, urine samples, and everyone in these studies had some degree of microplastics in their body. And most of them are entering through not ingestion, but inhalation.

And your lungs is the biggest problem. reservoir for these plastics. And they just are going in and they're staying there. They're biopresistant. Your body cannot break it down. And they're beginning to draw parallels with increases in autoimmune diseases and cancer. Absolutely. Because what these do is they're toxic to cells. They cause cells to produce or

They'll just blurt out like, this happens because this, blah, blah, blah. And I will take my time to make sure you understand the mechanics of a situation, why this happens, how this happens, when this happens. And so that's, you know, my goal. And with dark science, you know, it's a dark topic. You're going to get attention.

induce inflammation and it's a very low grade level. It's not like you have like a bruise or like you have cancer. It's very low grade and it's very insidious over time. Because the more plastics you ingest and inhale over the years, you have more and more inflammation. And they're beginning to wonder if the parallel between cancer and auto immune diseases is with microplastics.

And they're like thinking, yeah, it's probably the case.
And they're like thinking, yeah, it's probably the case.
Wow.
Wow.
Yeah. It must interfere with some kind of like process of development.
Yeah. It must interfere with some kind of like process of development.
Geez. Geez. Wow. Yeah. I mean, every person has microplastics here.
Geez. Geez. Wow. Yeah. I mean, every person has microplastics here.
Do you know what the largest contributor of microplastics are? I bet you'll never guess. The largest contributor. It's not like an industry per se, but it's like a product, sort of.
Do you know what the largest contributor of microplastics are? I bet you'll never guess. The largest contributor. It's not like an industry per se, but it's like a product, sort of.
No. I mean, that's definitely one of them, but the highest is actually car tires. Oh, interesting.
No. I mean, that's definitely one of them, but the highest is actually car tires. Oh, interesting.
They're made of synthetic and natural rubbers. But if you think about it, a car tire is constantly being worn down and the speed and the heats releasing all the particles. And so they find that the highest concentration of microplastics that you inhale are near roads. Because, again, you have the breakdown of the tire and then the car is moving and then the wind and the speed just kicks it all up.

And so, I mean, we all have cars.
Yep. And you want to stop that, you got to stop car tires. Jesus Christ.
Yep. And you want to stop that, you got to stop car tires. Jesus Christ.
So you're kind of teaching people without even realizing they're learning.
So you're kind of teaching people without even realizing they're learning.
Yeah, that's convenience, yeah.
Yeah, that's convenience, yeah.
No. I mean, you have microplastics bound up in your organs right now, and they're there forever. And it's not like you can remove plaque from a clogged artery. These are micrometers big, smaller than the diameter of a human hair.
No. I mean, you have microplastics bound up in your organs right now, and they're there forever. And it's not like you can remove plaque from a clogged artery. These are micrometers big, smaller than the diameter of a human hair.
they're there for good unless i mean this is pushing it but unless they can somehow engineer bacteria that can break down plastic which i mean you'd be injecting bacteria into your body to break down plastic and that just sounds terrible you know yeah um so that's there for good the only thing we can do is reduce the amount that's happening to us in future generations
they're there for good unless i mean this is pushing it but unless they can somehow engineer bacteria that can break down plastic which i mean you'd be injecting bacteria into your body to break down plastic and that just sounds terrible you know yeah um so that's there for good the only thing we can do is reduce the amount that's happening to us in future generations
I don't think we're there yet. I don't think we ever will be. It's just the damage is so pervasive. Every organ just, I mean, it's awful. The best we can do is just curb towards... more renewable products i mean plastic is so convenient you can mold anything from it the size the durability i mean it's it's really like perfect but with a trade-off huge trade-off yeah

So you might not get cancer now, but after 60 years of living and inhaling plastics, the damage will come.
So you might not get cancer now, but after 60 years of living and inhaling plastics, the damage will come.
I didn't see too much because I was there for a week. I'm sure my dad has some crazy stories, but one that comes to mind and I think I can say it's probably fine.
I didn't see too much because I was there for a week. I'm sure my dad has some crazy stories, but one that comes to mind and I think I can say it's probably fine.
I mean, I'm not sure what the future holds for drug technology.
I mean, I'm not sure what the future holds for drug technology.
Sodium nitrite, I believe it is. I mean, there's multiple. That's one I do know. Yeah. I mean, that's.
Sodium nitrite, I believe it is. I mean, there's multiple. That's one I do know. Yeah. I mean, that's.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Well, I mean, so the issue with cancer is it's, again, like multifaceted. The first thing is no cancer like your cancer isn't the same as my cancer. If you have lung cancer and I have lung cancer, it's like it's like our fingerprints. It's specific to you.

So it's hard to produce a drug or a therapy that's going to. have that wide effect, right? Secondly is cancer, at least what we're doing now, we're trying to target, and cancer therapy is target cells that divide very quickly, right? So cells that divide faster like your intestinal cells, right?
So it's hard to produce a drug or a therapy that's going to. have that wide effect, right? Secondly is cancer, at least what we're doing now, we're trying to target, and cancer therapy is target cells that divide very quickly, right? So cells that divide faster like your intestinal cells, right?
Because they're constantly being sloughed off from the digestive process, food passing through, pulling off the cells. So when you take chemotherapy, those cells are targeted. Right. Right? And the idea is cancer cells reproduce very quickly in high amounts. So we're going to target those as well. That's the best we can do, really.

No, it's very systemic.

So nuclear radiation.
So nuclear radiation.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
I know that like, um, people say it started like the first world war is like a, it's like a weapon. I'm not really familiar with that, but I know it started in like the forties and fifties and it's, it's still a good, um, choice for cancer therapy in the beginning stages. It's by no means like the best, but, um, Have you ever heard of CAR-T therapy? CAR-T? Like C-A-R-T? No, never.

No, I mean, there's going to be blood and stuff.
No, I mean, there's going to be blood and stuff.
He had a patient who was a chronic drinker. And this has always stuck with me. And I believe he had like severe cirrhosis of the liver. His liver was just like to pieces, shutting down. Wow. And I think he said that this guy was losing blood from his liver and they're just pumping in IV bags one after the other. And they couldn't get the liver, the wound, whatever it was, to seal up. And...

Yeah, myeloma.
Yeah, myeloma.
The future of cancer therapy and treatments are going to be more biological-based. And what I mean by that is actually using your immune system to actually treat yourself. Right. As opposed to chemical, which is like— Is that essentially what this is? Yeah. Oh, yeah. This is biotechnology. This is altering your own genetic—

Um, special receptors that bind to specific proteins on the surface of cancer cells, long T cells, more effectively cars are special receptors.
Um, special receptors that bind to specific proteins on the surface of cancer cells, long T cells, more effectively cars are special receptors.
I know I've heard of something like this before. Um,
I know I've heard of something like this before. Um,
I know with antibody therapy, you essentially... make an antibody outside the body that is made to target a certain type of cell or disease, an antigen, and then you inject it. The issue is sometimes that can produce a really bad immune response because you're having this heightened...
I know with antibody therapy, you essentially... make an antibody outside the body that is made to target a certain type of cell or disease, an antigen, and then you inject it. The issue is sometimes that can produce a really bad immune response because you're having this heightened...
awareness of like there's this protein in here and you get this shock reaction and so it can be kind of dangerous um but i think it's still in its beginning stages of being worked out properly yeah monoclonal antibodies that's what it was yeah they were doing that and it seemed to be pretty effective Monoclonal are, so you have, is it polyclonal? Monoclonal?
awareness of like there's this protein in here and you get this shock reaction and so it can be kind of dangerous um but i think it's still in its beginning stages of being worked out properly yeah monoclonal antibodies that's what it was yeah they were doing that and it seemed to be pretty effective Monoclonal are, so you have, is it polyclonal? Monoclonal?
Monoclonal are like they have one antigen that they go towards. So you have antibodies that have general, like they'll attack general antigens. This is made for just one specific protein. It's very sensitive. And so if you have that targeting a certain cell or an antigen from like a bacteria or something, it's going to be more effective.

It's very sensitive. And so if you have that targeting a certain cell or an antigen from like a bacteria or something, it's going to be more effective.
Right. But the downside is you have a very robust immune response, which can be like, again, send you into shock. Oh, wow. But I mean, that's like in rare cases.
Right. But the downside is you have a very robust immune response, which can be like, again, send you into shock. Oh, wow. But I mean, that's like in rare cases.
No one should say that you're not going to get it. It just reduces the chances. Right. It's not going to... I mean, I had COVID. I was boosted.
No one should say that you're not going to get it. It just reduces the chances. Right. It's not going to... I mean, I had COVID. I was boosted.
Against my will, basically. Why? Why against your will? Well, just because my employer and I was in school at the time. And they're like, if you want to stay here, you got to get the shot. God, that's fucked, man. You know? Yeah.

I heard pieces of it, yes.
I heard pieces of it, yes.
Secondly, you know, I'm a man of science. I trust most vaccines that I'm given, probably, if not all. The issue was, and I think people had a reason to be concerned about it, was that, listen, companies take years to develop drugs. We're talking five, 10, 15 years. I think the average time is like seven years. And they did this in a year. Like by all means,

I think the average time is like seven years. And they did this in a year. Like by all means,
be skeptical just because you guys really got this done in like nine months a year. Like let's wait and see what happens. No, no, no. You're, you're taking it now. That's how it's going to be.
be skeptical just because you guys really got this done in like nine months a year. Like let's wait and see what happens. No, no, no. You're, you're taking it now. That's how it's going to be.
something happened where like the doctor was in the room where my, my dad was there, but they're like, we can't, we can't stop this. Like you're probably going to die. And my, my dad said, the guy looked at him just like, you know, he's like, he, he understood. And he was like, this is my moment. This, this is all I got. And the guy died. Not, not, not long after, but just like,

Well, it's the, you know, I'm right. I'm head of this. And if I say this is fine, you know, it's the power of the position.
Well, it's the, you know, I'm right. I'm head of this. And if I say this is fine, you know, it's the power of the position.
Yeah. The science was there. Like, I think if they had waited some more time to do more tests, I mean... any vaccine's gonna affect people, some people negatively. You take a thousand people in a room, you toss a peanut, someone's gonna be allergic. You're gonna have bad results. I'm not sure of the degree of how many people had negative side effects from the COVID vaccine if it was above average.
Yeah. The science was there. Like, I think if they had waited some more time to do more tests, I mean... any vaccine's gonna affect people, some people negatively.

bad effects um but i mean you can't make a vaccine in a year and have it like across the nation like you have to take this that's just that's just bad news plus it's still early man it's only been a couple years you know we don't know the long-term effects of this stuff we don't know i mean they don't know the long-term effects of most drugs we release
bad effects um but i mean you can't make a vaccine in a year and have it like across the nation like you have to take this that's just that's just bad news plus it's still early man it's only been a couple years you know we don't know the long-term effects of this stuff we don't know i mean they don't know the long-term effects of most drugs we release
Like a civil lawsuit?
Like a civil lawsuit?
And that's with years of research in producing the vaccine or the drug.
And that's with years of research in producing the vaccine or the drug.
That's good news.
That's good news.
Yeah. So did you get it?
Yeah. So did you get it?
Um, yeah, I got the shot in the, in the booster just because, I mean, it was fighting uphill.
Um, yeah, I got the shot in the, in the booster just because, I mean, it was fighting uphill.
And I had kids in my class too that paid for their semester and then they didn't get the vaccine. It's like, well, we'll keep your money. There's the door, you know? And I'm like, I'm not doing that. I paid for out of pocket.
And I had kids in my class too that paid for their semester and then they didn't get the vaccine. It's like, well, we'll keep your money. There's the door, you know? And I'm like, I'm not doing that. I paid for out of pocket.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Oh, it's a deep fake. It's a deep fake.
Oh, it's a deep fake. It's a deep fake.
Yeah. The whole point is just, you know, smack him hard enough. So they just give in. I mean, that's, I had a coworker who was honestly harassed, but they didn't, she, she didn't take the vaccine and she had to come into work with like a COVID test, like twice a week. And she was just like, this is miserable, but I don't know what's going to happen to Fauci after that.
Yeah. The whole point is just, you know, smack him hard enough. So they just give in.

seeing the guy's reaction to like, you're going to die soon. And he did die not long after, I think maybe like a few minutes. Yeah. And he just, I think he said, he looked at my dad and he closed his eyes and then was like at peace because he had no choice. And, you know, that can probably mess some people up. But I think my dad was, you know, he's a veteran of the ICU.

Um, I mean, I, I think the, I mean, I think we're all conclusive enough that the COVID came from China.
Um, I mean, I, I think the, I mean, I think we're all conclusive enough that the COVID came from China.
I mean, come on, like in gain of function therapy was in China. It's like John Stewart said, if there's an outbreak of chocolatey goodness in Hershey PA, it probably came from the factory.
I mean, come on, like in gain of function therapy was in China. It's like John Stewart said, if there's an outbreak of chocolatey goodness in Hershey PA, it probably came from the factory.

It probably came from the factory, you know? No, no, no, no, no.
It probably came from the factory, you know? No, no, no, no, no.
China needs to pay big time. And did you see? I was watching those. Those counts of, like, deaths from COVID, the first, like, month, just, like, every day. And I think, like, at some point, the U.S. hit, like, 300,000. Fucking China's at, like, 80,000. Like, please. Please. No fucking way it's 80,000. Like, millions. Yeah. The sheer density of the cities. I mean, come on.

Interesting.
Interesting.
In some senses, I'm like, yeah, you need a good, strong defensive military in case shit goes to the fan. But at the same time, I mean, that much money that goes into it. I mean, and things happen, you know, nuclear bomb testing and Wuhan. Yeah. I mean, the cost for it. Jeez.

Oh, but you mean like used in warfare? Used in warfare, yeah. No one wants to do it. I think people know.
Oh, but you mean like used in warfare? Used in warfare, yeah. No one wants to do it. I think people know.
So, you know, maybe that affects him today. I don't know. But that was a story that was really just like, holy crap.

they can't be used and they can also detonate here too.
they can't be used and they can also detonate here too.
Sure.
Sure.
Even if they don't, 400 nuclear missiles? I mean that's a nuclear holocaust still. Yeah. So I mean – I think North Korea is still behind on their technology. Let's hope they are. Yeah, they definitely are.
Even if they don't, 400 nuclear missiles? I mean that's a nuclear holocaust still. Yeah. So I mean – I think North Korea is still behind on their technology. Let's hope they are. Yeah, they definitely are.

Yeah. So what was the last one before that one, though? Oh, the eighties or something. Seventies.
Yeah. So what was the last one before that one, though? Oh, the eighties or something. Seventies.
I mean, there are studies that, you know, people who are more positive, who have family and friends around will have better outcomes. They if they don't beat the cancer, sometimes they do, depending on the stage and the degree. But if they don't beat the cancer, they have a better quality of life. And this this can this be, you know, through positive outcomes.

Holy shit. Wow. And we're just going up and up and up and up.
Nevada is just getting all the action. Geez.

What's the flag with the orange, white, and green? They just did one. I think that's Italy. Oh, orange, white, and green? Is that Britain?

That'd be funny. That would be funny, right?

India.
India.
Gotcha.
Gotcha.
Well, that's good to know.
Well, that's good to know.
She died from meningitis. She was like 15 and it was all over the news. It was a big deal. And so as a kid, I'm like, well, I'm going to die. You know, like this is terrifying. If it happened to this girl, it's going to happen to me. Um, and so that just kind of like sealed the deal. Like if my parents went out for a, to go run errands and they, I'm like, this has taken a while.

Just don't launch it. I mean, that's right. Or get to that country and stop them from launching it. But I think they developed one that was underground too.

Yeah. To like induce earthquakes and which, I mean, it's amazing that didn't like, you know, cause any plates to shift or something. But yeah, I mean, one gets launched and that's it.

You have more endorphins when your family are around. Your body has chemical cascades that kind of help you perform better. But whether it be like adrenaline, again, it'd be endorphins. Maybe if you're more positive, you're drinking more water, you're doing more positive things that can help you. Whereas if you're more giving up, You're not eating. You don't care about your medication.

Oh, yeah. Because it's you don't have the ozone layer to the ozone layer will be filter it out.
Oh, yeah. Because it's you don't have the ozone layer to the ozone layer will be filter it out.
I mean, at that point, you're going to repeat what happened to the dinosaurs. I mean, the sun was blacked out for 15 years, they estimate. And the sub-underground mammals are ones that lived, you know? Yeah, I didn't think about the atmosphere being degraded, though. It was constant UV light. Right. Oh, that sucks. Gosh, you'd be baking.

Something like that. It's pretty high or like the depth, I think, or, you know, what's down there. Yeah. I mean, we're, oh, it's scary as hell.
Something like that. It's pretty high or like the depth, I think, or, you know, what's down there. Yeah. I mean, we're, oh, it's scary as hell.
That's what it was. It was something like, yeah, space. We know more about space than we do about like the depths of the ocean. I mean, what the hell is down there? Isn't that crazy? Jeez. But I mean, if we were to go terraform the moon, I mean, once your resources are exhausted, that's on there. I mean, you're screwed. Like what do you have on the moon? There's, there's no nutrients there.

I've heard about it.
I've heard about it.
I mean, you couldn't do that on the moon unless you had the materials to grow the steak, though, too. I mean, the meat and the cells would need proteins and carbohydrates and DNA. So, I mean, it only works if you have the materials, you know?

I mean, those could just be from crater impacts from asteroids or... I guess.

You'd think they'd go more often, but I guess there's just not a whole lot of reason to go back. I think they know that there's nothing really on there, just a giant rock in space.

Yeah. Part of that is because of if you set up. Sensitive material, like not material, like telescopes in space trying to produce, trying to do research on the moon for radiation in space. The dark side of the moon has no interference from the sun. So you have like super sensitive material.

readings on that side of the moon that's like the best place to do any kind of um outer space research and it's it's so empty and secluded um that's you know one reason why you would want to put a base on the dark side of the moon is you have like the best sensitive readings

If China puts a base on the moon, we'll have one in like two weeks.
If China puts a base on the moon, we'll have one in like two weeks.
Yeah. I mean, really, I think the moon, we should be thinking about putting an automated system on the moon that's unmanned. And we can send back information, and that can be an extra way to do research, too. You don't have to have a society on the moon. That's just going to be hell.

And that will take a toll. I mean, the more stressed you are, the more cortisol you produce and more inflammation on your body. So, I mean, the mindset is a big deal. I don't think it's the factor, but it definitely helps.

Yeah.
Yeah.
If you, you'd have to import all of your, unless there was like, I think the moon has lots of metals, but beyond that, there's not much that you can really use. It'd be a good stopping space, but it depends. Right. Not, I'm not too familiar with like the moon and Mars. I would say that'd be a good spot to at least put some kind of automated research facility or something, you know? Yeah.

I was just... The guy just... He's just so confused. So confused. I feel kind of bad for him because he has the passion for it, but he's just way out there. I was watching it and I'm like... I think as a scientist, you have to have an open mind and just listen to someone. I'm like, okay, this is kind of weird, but I'll just sort of listen and just kind of humor it. And I got through 15 minutes.

I did. I saw the first half hour, an hour. And he's in the same camp. He's like, you know, you have my... a motor for a Lambert, uh, a Lamborghini motor in the chassis of like a Volkswagen. You're just going, but you can't, you can't do it right. You know? And I'm just thinking like this guy, I don't know where that came from, you know?

Cause he was an actor and I know he went to some college in New York that was more of a liberal arts college that had an engineering program, but they stopped it when he attended.

You know? Um,
You know? Um,
probably was as a kid yeah yes now i'm i mean i'm fine now because yeah i understand things you know right right um but i definitely was as a kid i have asthma i have like the worst case of asthma in the world um if i like i used to do football in high school and i would run all the time now if i go for a jog outside i'd be like you know, it's just, it's, I, I can't.

That would be, well, Mercury's the closest, then Venus, and then us, and then Mars.
That would be, well, Mercury's the closest, then Venus, and then us, and then Mars.
I'm not an astrophysicist, but to the layman. The sun's just a giant fusion reactor. It's just burning. There's nothing to be made. It's just heat. There's no materials in the sun to produce heat. rocks and the metals and all that's an earth's crust. I mean, that's, I mean, a lot of what he said is just nonsense.

I'm not sure why I think it has to do with um The perspective from earth we can see The atmosphere on earth allows us to see the actual light because it's like bouncing through the waves the The light going through the atmosphere, right? um
I'm not sure why I think it has to do with um The perspective from earth we can see The atmosphere on earth allows us to see the actual light because it's like bouncing through the waves the The light going through the atmosphere, right? um
sort of not energizes but allows us to see the light better whereas if you're in space that's all like a vacuum right there's nothing for the light to really energize and uh that makes sense yeah that makes sense so i mean that's i think i think that's why but yeah No, space is scary. I did a video on your body in space. And space is a near perfect vacuum.

I did a video on your body in space. And space is a near perfect vacuum.
It's not a perfect vacuum, but it's pretty close. The reason space is like a vacuum is because it's so huge. It's enormous. And so there's no... The way you make a vacuum is either you pump out air from like a container or you increase the volume so that the air can kind of be more free. And space is so vastly huge that it's a vacuum.

And in vacuum conditions, just the gases have no pressure holding them down. And so the gases in your gut and all your cavities just expand rapidly and you essentially just kind of blow up.
And in vacuum conditions, just the gases have no pressure holding them down. And so the gases in your gut and all your cavities just expand rapidly and you essentially just kind of blow up.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Within seconds, yeah. Within seconds. Seconds. Um, I took a class on vacuums in college. Um, just like, you know, like to make semiconductors, you have like very high ultra vacuums and, um, just the, we, we would put like marshmallows in the vacuum. No shit. Oh yeah. Because right now the atmosphere of Europe is, is pushing down on all, all the gases. Um,

Because right now the atmosphere of Europe is, is pushing down on all, all the gases. Um,
And so they're pressurized and they're safe in our bodies. But when you go out to space, there's no pressure on the gases, no atmosphere. They just turn into a gas within seconds. So- What happens is all the cavities in your stomach expand, your skin tears apart, and any water in your body evaporates into a gas. And then space is freezing cold. There's no heat in space because of the vacuum.

So it's like, it's getting worse, you know? So I just kind of with late, uh, with, I lift weights into the treadmill and biking, but yeah. But even with that, I'm like, yeah, it's asthma. It sucks.

All the gases just expand outward. You become a frozen husk, empty of all fluid and blood.

yeah um in the 1960s they were 19 the mid 60s they were testing vacuums in like for like for nasa on the conditions in space and there was an astronaut he was in a vacuum and his tube came loose and the last thing he remembers he he passed out in like 10 seconds the last thing he recalls is the saliva on his tongue vaporizing

Because there is no atmospheric pressure in the vacuum, nothing to hold down the gases.

And it just evaporated. And then he passed out. Luckily, they were able to get to him fast enough. So you pass out within seconds.
And it just evaporated. And then he passed out. Luckily, they were able to get to him fast enough. So you pass out within seconds.
Yeah, it is. And then conversely, if you're at the bottom of the ocean, you just get compressed into a pulp. Again, all your cavities are destroyed. Your lungs, your stomach, parts of your head just crushed.
Yeah, it is. And then conversely, if you're at the bottom of the ocean, you just get compressed into a pulp. Again, all your cavities are destroyed. Your lungs, your stomach, parts of your head just crushed.
Goodness. Instantaneous. And like, I think the speed at which the implosion happens is like two times the speed of human perception.
Goodness. Instantaneous. And like, I think the speed at which the implosion happens is like two times the speed of human perception.
Yeah, so this is what he was talking about. I don't even know what this is. No, I don't know what this is either. I have no clue. I know that he talks about elements, and I think that each element has a certain frequency, and maybe he's confusing string theory and the periodic table of elements. Yeah, it's wacky stuff.

That's good. I mean, I think there's always something good that can happen from this sort of thing.
That's good. I mean, I think there's always something good that can happen from this sort of thing.
With Neil deGrasse Tyson, he really explained the peer review process when he was sort of debunking what Howard had showed him. And I think that's a good way to learn what science goes through to actually learn and produce papers and studies.

I just have one. I mean, I have a couple of small channels which I don't upload, but my channel is Dark Science. I should have a video up in the next two weeks, week and a half about microplastics. How often do you make videos? Once or twice a month. Once or twice a month?

I've been thinking about it for a long time as a kid. It's just, they just kind of, they just kind of come to me. Agonal breathing. What is agonal breathing? Agonal breathing is either through like a disease that puts, um, well, I'm not gonna go into that.

So let's talk about more in terms of like injury. Um, if, um, you have some kind of condition like a disease or your brain gets damaged where you can't produce any oxygen. So like metabolic acidosis where your, your body is chemically not making oxygen. Right. Or, um, you get injured and you can't breathe properly. You know, your, your brain gets injured or something.

So like metabolic acidosis where your, your body is chemically not making oxygen. Right. Or, um, you get injured and you can't breathe properly. You know, your, your brain gets injured or something.
Essentially with agonal breathing, when that happens, that's a sign that the brainstem is the last surviving operating part of your brain. And, um, that's a sign that like the rest of your brain is shutting down if not shut down and that the brainstem controls breathing and heart rate. And if you're just like that, that's just, um, that's the death throes, the final straw, final straws.

Yeah, I mean, they can't conclusively say if the person's conscious.
Yeah, I mean, they can't conclusively say if the person's conscious.
Basically, yeah. I mean, how, you know? I know during the French Revolution, they were decapitating people left and right. Someone said that they held up a head of a political dissident and they said jokes about her and she smirked at the person, which I think is just like, you know. legends, you know, a myth. Right, right.

Someone said that they held up a head of a political dissident and they said jokes about her and she smirked at the person, which I think is just like, you know. legends, you know, a myth. Right, right.
But what they did discover, and they did it mainly on mice, is that when you decapitate, you cut off the head, the brain still has enough electrical activity for a couple of seconds to That is indicative that could potentially have some consciousness. And it drops rapidly after like two or three seconds.

Blood's gone. I mean, you put someone in like a chokehold, they pass out. That's pretty much what they're saying happens with... a decapitation is if I put you in a chokehold, you're just, you just blackout. Um, but they're saying due to the amount of, they had like an electrocardiogram on mice's head, a mouse's head.

you're probably not conscious, but if you were, it'd be for like two seconds. Right. And then lights out.

My mind, they died in a car accident or whatever, or I'm going to get cancer, you know, just like crazy fear. So fast forward to about sixth grade, I joined the Boy Scouts and you have a bunch of 10, 11 year old kids around a campfire. They're just going to burn shit, you know, and they're tossing in styrofoam and plastic cups and plastic wrap. And I'm like having a freak out.

So there's a lot of things at play there. I mean, studies that find, so fluoride at higher concentrations, is this going to cause damage? It will have the effects of no cavities, but you're going to have a lot of other effects. Studies that have said, you know, fluoride is a neurotoxin or not a neurotoxin, but it damages your neurons and your neurological processes significantly. Two things.

Studies that have said, you know, fluoride is a neurotoxin or not a neurotoxin, but it damages your neurons and your neurological processes significantly. Two things.
Those are studies that have fluoride at very high concentrations. So in the U.S., the average concentration of fluoride is about one part per million. Very, very low. I was reading a study a couple months ago about fluoride and... They're like, yeah, we found that people that were drinking this water out in this village in India, they had cognitive deficits and they had diarrhea and this and that.

I was reading a study a couple months ago about fluoride and... They're like, yeah, we found that people that were drinking this water out in this village in India, they had cognitive deficits and they had diarrhea and this and that.
Well, you read through the study and they had a fluoride concentration of like seven parts per million. So the higher you go, the worse it gets, or not the worse it gets, but it can cause more damage. If you eat enough potassium, you're going to die. You have enough fluoride, you're going to have bad effects. Right. the genesis of fluoride, I mean, is really interesting.
So there was a dentist named Frederick McKay out in Colorado Springs. And, um, he, he noticed his patients in this village or this town, um, that were near a mining operation had like, it's called Rocky model, Rocky mountain model teeth. And their teeth had like a gray, a brown tinge to it. And he's like, this is really weird that they have this brown tinge, but these people have no cavities.
Like they're... They're good. Whereas people outside this region, they had clean white teeth, but they had cavities. It's like, there's something going on here. And there was a company that was mining aluminum from the mountains nearby, and they discovered that they were injecting or liberating fluoride into the water, and they were drinking the water. And it was very high.
It was like 13 parts per million. It was very, very high. They were probably very sick, too. But that's why they had that intense brown staining. And people don't understand why fluoride is in the water. They just know like, oh, it's there because the government put it there. It's to make people stupid and couldn't be further from the truth.
uh what speech with uh what george bush senior when he said we we there is a new world order after oh yeah after the cold war that we are going to start implementing yeah yeah yeah i mean we could go that that's a whole different kind of words yeah the new world order yes yes um but with the with the again the the the mechanics you know understanding how it works so
This is why fluoride isn't in water and why it's good. And I can get into why it shouldn't be in the water. I think people should have the choice to drink water if they don't want it altered.
So fluoride, I think it does have some antibacterial properties, but the amount of fluoride in the water, now maybe there's a higher concentration before it goes out to the public where they could clean it. I mean, that could be like very, very high concentration, but it's reduced if it goes out to the public supply for water. Right. But getting back to the mechanics of fluoride.
So your teeth are made of a crystalline mineral called hydroxyapatite. And it's a crystalline structure of calcium. It's why you need calcium for your bones. Phosphorus and hydroxy, which is an OH molecule, hydrogen and oxygen. And hydroxyapatite will dissolve when exposed to acid over time. And it'll break down from erosion, just eating and stuff, and it just decays.
I'm like, guys, like, stop. We're going to inhale the fumes. We're going to get brain damage. This is going to be bad. And they're not going to listen to me. Yeah, sure. Just keep, just keep burning stuff. And there was a kid in my troop named Michael, and this kid was very smart. Like, at the age of 14, he could have started college. Very bright kid.
So that's why you need to intake calcium and phosphorus in your diet to replenish the hydroxyapatite. Well, it turns out fluoride can also bond in this crystalline structure, and it forms a new crystal called fluoroapatite. And fluoroapatite, based on the atomic properties of fluorine, makes a stronger crystalline structure.
So it doesn't break down as fast when exposed to acid, and it's more resilient overall.
whether you're taking in calcium or phosphorus or fluoride um you're replenishing you're replenishing that uh floral appetite crystalline structure so you don't have to have fluoride but it's just better it's like you don't have to have snow tires in the winter time but it's a lot better so um you know that's why it's in the water now i do think people should have to say like hey i don't want fluoride better for your teeth for your teeth correct teeth
From discovery to application was a long time. It wasn't like, hey, we found fluoride, put it in the water, boom. It was around 30 years before people were like, let's do this. Really? Yes. The first time water was fluoridated in the U.S. was 1945 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Wow. And before that, so McKay made this discovery.
And of course you have the peer review process and people are like very skeptical, you know? Yeah, sure, sure. So there was a department of, I don't think it's in existence, Department of Public Health of Dentistry or something, but they commissioned a 21-city study where they went to 21 different cities and checked fluoride concentrations as opposed to low fluoride concentrations.
And they found this is consistent, where people have fluoride in the water have lower concentrations. and people who have no fluoride. And so it was over 30, 40 years, like if we're gonna put this in the water, this has to work. And so that's what they did. There was a very long study. So lots of people were skeptical, like, no, this is madness. Put fluoride in water? What are you nuts?
Like put chlorine in water? And it's not- How about just brush your teeth? How about that? Right, right. Yes, yes. Yeah. I mean, you could just do that. There's fluoride in your- In your toothpaste?
Oh, really? Really? And you know what? Like at the end of the day, you don't have to have fluoride. Like you'll do just fine. It's just, it's, it's better. It's not necessary, but if you want it, it's fine.
Gosh, maybe two or three. Two or three?
And I'm like, Michael, like, we're going to die. We're going to have brain damage. Oh, my gosh. And he's like, oh, no, no, no. There's plenty of ventilation out here. The fumes are going to disperse. And there's oxygen from the trees. We're going to be fine. And immediately, it was like a switch got turned on. And I'm like...
Yes, yeah. And most of the studies, just by nature of – The what was available, a lot of studies came from China and India. And a lot of the people that they sampled were near industrial activity.
And there was one study, I think it was either in China or India, but there was like a village or a town of people and they found high fluoride concentration and they're like, yeah, this is causing cognitive issues. And it was high, but there was also arsenic in the water as well from the industrial processes. There's high levels of phosphorus and, you know, Arsenic is a toxin.
Phosphorus, if you have too much, can cause problems. So we're really kind of saying like, yeah, there's fluoride, but there's also other things as well. So it depends. If you're looking for high concentrations, you're going to see problems. If you're looking for low concentrations, you're not going to see problems.
Right. So with people, with studies where they had, I'm not sure if it was high amount of fluoride, but it was probably like the therapeutic dose. And this is kind of the humor behind it is that they found that countries with therapeutic doses of fluoride in countries that didn't have it, generally people were like roughly the same. Fluoride is not going to stop you from getting cavities.
I mean, I've had cavities. I drink fluoridated water all the time. It's just something additional to help. It's by no means like this magic bullet that if you drink fluoride, you're never going to get cavities. If you have high fluoridated water, black tea has a lot of fluoride in it. Oh, interesting. And if you drink lots of black tea, higher fluoride, you'll have lower chances of cavities.
But it's like it's an additional thing to have. But I mean, if you would say fluoride stops cavities, like that's not true unless it's really, really high. Right.
I heard Japan because of like their diet.
oh, now that I know why it's not a big deal, why I'm going to be safe, there's comfort in knowing why things are going to be good and how it works, the mechanics of that situation. And so I immediately had this trust and comfort and science and understanding, you know, dispersion of fumes in an open area versus like a room or something. So that's like that's like the first part. Right. Yeah.
I can't remember the food being fluoridated, but.
mean you got some explaining to do oh boy oh boy yeah yeah so i mean fluoride is not used to extend like of course there's many other factors to this right yeah but i mean um i i knew before we even searched there's gonna be one country in the mediterranean the mediterranean diet High olive oil, fish, lots of good fats. And Japan, I mean, the diet's big, they have lots of rice.
So, I mean, not a whole lot of red meat and I think more fish too. I mean, they do have beef in their diet, but I think more of their diets on like rice and fish, which is a bit more healthier.
Yeah. Yeah. Uh, bleached flour. Yeah.
Yeah. I think they're eating a lot more white rice. I think rice is, I mean, there's no gluten in rice, but no gluten. Um, really? Yeah. Gluten is a grain protein, cotton grain. Rice, I'm not sure what rice is technically in the classification, but I know that a lot of the Japanese diet is a lot of fish. Fish is good, the omega-3 fatty acids, omega-6.
Oh, that's, yeah. I mean, that's that, Hey, you want me to agree on that? That's absolutely.
Well, still, I mean, you eat too much fish, you're going to have mercury. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, they're just engulfing fish themselves, tons. So of course they're going to get high levels of mercury, too.
Yeah, it's so small, yeah. Gotcha. I eat a good amount of salmon. I love salmon. Salmon's delicious, yeah. I don't eat too much, hopefully, where it's causing issues. It's like once a week.
Oh, farm salmon's dog shit.
I eat wild caught salmon.
But I go to, you know, merchants that sell it.
The second part is with my dad. So my dad, um, was a Lieutenant Colonel in the air force. He was also a nurse in the ICU and, um, for 30 years. So he had a lot of crazy stories, just, I mean, graphic stories and me being curious to now being interested in science and disease and cancer. I, I would ask him things, you know, like, Hey, you know, What happens if you drink bleach?
And you can like, so my wife and I, we eat salmon wild caught every week, like once a week. And we were getting it. They were out, but they had farm salmon and we had the farm salmon. We couldn't even finish it. It was disgusting.
My dad is part of the genesis of dark science. But it really is multifaceted. So as a kid, when I grew up, I was very – terrified of like dying, you know, like I was terrified of death. My pets died. My grandparents died. You don't understand it as a kid, you know, just know that death happens and it could happen to you. It could happen to your parents. And it's like, well, this is terrifying.
Yeah, yeah. And, like, when you see wild-caught salmon and farmed salmon, the wild-caught's, like, a nice, vibrant, darker, like, pink, whereas the farmed is, like, an orange-pink. It just looks bad. Like, what the hell am I eating?
And when we were cooking it, like, so, I'm not sure, like, it's the fats in fish.
So when we were cooking the farmed salmon, you could see. So I think it's like the omega fats in the fish.
When they reach heat, when they get heated, they like turn white. You know what I mean? And when you put the farmed salmon in the frying pan, it's just seeping all this white goo out of it. It's the higher fat content. It's like, this is awful. The wild caught, I mean, cooks perfectly fine.
It's based on the diet, what they're feeding it, their lifestyle.
My friends and I went to an all-you-can-eat sushi place, like 25 bucks, and they'll give you all you can eat. And I'm eating the sushi. This is good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then the thought hit me. I'm like, this is all farmed salmon.
Yeah. Because there's no way they're catching wild caught salmon and just...
I think lots of it is in Japan, I think, actually.
So I used to work- They farm them in Japan? I used to work at Red Lobster. I was a cook for seven years. Really? Yes. So I'm like an amazing cook, you know? And all of our fish that came in frozen- I used to love the Captain's Feast. Captain's Feast. The hell was that? Was it like fried- No, it was the Admiral's Feast.
Oh gosh, it's terrible. Yeah. All of our fish that came in that was frozen was Japan, Japan, Japan, Japan. And I'm like, well, they're an island.
Convenience is destroying us. It's so bad. I mean, just like the convenience from, you know, pre like, like the processed food.
I think, um, I mean, yeah, I'm sure that has a huge effect on it too. I think beef is just, it's, it's heavy. We, we eat bison burgers, bison's more lean. So when you eat a bison burger, like I feel like I can go for a run, you know, it's, it's not as heavy, but, um, I'm, I'm sure the process of how they're raised and, you know, processed definitely plays a role for sure.
What happens if you do this? And he would, no problem, explain it. He would say, oh yeah, I had a patient who, their liver ripped open and there's blood everywhere and we tried to triage this way and that. And I was just like, okay. And he had no problem because in his mind and what the situation was, he was educating me on what was happening.
No. So if you're doing a study based on one parts per million, which is what we have in the U.S., that doesn't cause any issues. Two things, two caveats. High fluoride concentration can cause issues in developing children and specifically infants. So even with an infant, if the mother is drinking lots of black tea,
Higher fluoride, that can actually cause issues, and they've done studies where they found infants that were in regions with high fluoride concentration or their mothers had a diet high in fluoride, lots of tea. I think certain vegetables, I think carrots, I think. I could be wrong on that, but certain vegetables have lots of fluoride.
They found that children that had, while developing, lots of fluoride did have cognitive issues. So it's more of a concentration issue than it is the actual fluoride. So got it. You know, again, you eat enough potassium, you're, you're going to have problems.
Well, so it's not like a federal program. I mean, it's based on the states. Some states have it. Some states don't.
I thought there was a lot.
A quarter of it, I thought.
It might even be a county. I think it's a state, though. But it could be county.
Yeah. Yeah. But it's probably based on the municipality though.
And again, I'm, I'm all for like, people should have like a choice.
If there's not natural fluoride in the area.
Yeah. I mean, I don't think you're getting too much of a diet from water and minerals. You need it just for like metabolic processes and just living. But I mean, you don't think you get too much minerals or ions from your water, really. That's more based on like your diet, you know, fruit, vegetables, that has lots of minerals, you know?
I remember as a kid, I would wear my seatbelt across my abdomen And he would say, no, put it below your navel at your pelvic girdle. I'm like, well, why? He goes, I've had patients, they get into car accidents, the seatbelt compresses their abdomen and just rips their organs apart, you know? And so just knowing that is like, okay, gotcha, gotcha.
So, I mean, if you drink deionized water, you know, you're probably okay. So-
Yeah, that just 30 million views. I can't believe it still.
No, but I do say lots of no, no words and YouTube's like, yeah, it's fine. But that was before I think they really cracked down on like the first 15 seconds. Sometimes they go back and fuck older videos.
Really? Yeah.
Did they say what it was?
Damn.
Is that Grantham?
Right.
And you're not counting for wind.
Jeez Louise. Just like a little nick there, too.
I thought it was iron sight from like the picture. Yeah.
So now I know why that's, and the pelvic girdle, he would say your pelvis is more stable. If it compresses, you're going to be okay. Um, and just like that curiosity, that morbid curiosity, that's kind of like, you know, did your dad have the same curiosity?
Gosh, it's crossing both hemispheres, too. Yeah. Yeah, you're... You're a goner.
Oh, with a hunting rifle? You're not even going to have a head.
I mean... Pieces out of the head, maybe.
It depends if it's like a low caliber and they get nicked or that the right position they get hit, you know, there are ways to, and I'm going to say this very lightly and not super seriously.
There are ways to survive a headshot, but I mean the right conditions we're talking like, you know, a hair's width. Right. And even then it's like, Probably not, but you could.
Sometimes, yes. Sometimes, though. Gabby Gifford, the senator or congresswoman from Arizona who was shot back in 2010, she's still alive. That was a nine-millimeter point-blank range.
Yep. So, I mean, you can survive, and there's a lot of factors.
Yeah. Um, I mean, not normally she has deficits.
Yep. And he's also a Senator now too, from same state. Yeah. What happened to him?
Yeah. Oh. So at the DNC back in, like, 2010, she recited the Pledge of Allegiance. And she was getting through it, but with, like, some difficulty. But she stood up and, like, I pledge allegiance to the flag. Wow, dude. You know, so she's not the same person, right? You're going to have changes in personality and brain function. It's very sad. Yeah. Man, that's terrible. Yeah.
What kind of a gun was it? I think it was a nine mil. A nine mil. And one of the factors, so.
Huge factor. The velocity is bigger than the caliber. because the velocity, the higher the velocity, the bigger the shockwave that's being put on the head. So the way I kind of started this video, the way I kind of got into it is my dad bought a book on forensics about all kinds of shots in the body, stomach, foot, leg, head, neck. And there was a whole section on getting shot in the head.
And I was just like drawn to this book. Yeah, Malala too. Yeah. I think she was shot with... An AK.
Jeez. The book. The book, yeah. And there's this whole section on getting shot in the head, and I'm thinking, like, bullet goes in, bullet goes out, like you're dead. But the amount of, like, details that go into the physics of getting shot in the head, I'm like, this is incredible. Like, one thing that just...
threw me away was when the bullet goes in the head and the shockwave expands the tissue in the skull, you get cracking at the temples and sometimes the orbital because the skull is expanding. And you just don't think about that stuff. You're like, yeah, it's like a puncture wound. It's really not.
I shadowed there. So when I was in college, I was going for med tech to be like a lab scientist, um, and like a hospital. And so I just shadowed in the ICU for a week. And I'm like,
It's spinning, yeah. But the actual shockwave is from the production of the shockwave is the velocity of the bullet going in. So I made a video on can you survive a headshot or how to survive a headshot. And the ways that you survive, again, is a smaller caliber and a lower velocity. So this is like a pistol, like handgun. The best case is like a .22 caliber pistol, you know?
The farther away, the much better.
Um, so there's reports of people being shot in the head with one of those with like small caliber handguns and the bullet just bouncing off their head If it's a far enough distance if it loses enough energy and it doesn't bounce off like a ping pong ball I mean, it's like you're getting smacked with like a hammer because that thing still has a ton of energy It's not enough to puncture and go into your skull, but it's enough to you know, deposit that energy and it's just boom you know, um
My dad was telling me a story. One of his friends went out to... This is during the Iraq War or something. And the insurgents were shooting their AK-47s up in the air. And a bullet came down and hit a kid in the head. It had lost enough energy where it didn't puncture, but he got smacked in the head with the force of a hammer. The kid lived, but it was just...
absolutely not no way because it is just constant death and you see people in their worst states and it's like no but my but my dad you know you got to have that sort of mindset and just to deal with it and he had seen it for so long he was like oh yeah this person you know bled out and we we did this and that i'm like all right so i was kind of raised a little bit different from you know
Wow.
Wow, yeah. Near-death experience.
Did it pierce the helmet?
Really?
Gosh. wild yeah it's still very lethal you could have cracking of the skull just the concussion your brain bouncing back off your skull yeah geez gosh um but yeah um to survive a headshot again lower caliber smaller velocity big thing is the hemispheres of the brain um Gabby Gifford and a couple other people I'd mentioned in the one video, most of the bullets had gone through one hemisphere.
And this has to do with connectivity in the brain. If you cross two hemispheres, if one hemisphere is damaged, you have the other to kind of compensate. But if it goes through both, first off, you're losing both sides. So that's a deficit there. Also, if you cross the hemisphere, there's a good chance, first off, you're going to – break connection in the brain.
There's a lot of connection between the left and right hemispheres. And so even if you have a bullet that goes through one hemisphere and kind of goes through the other, if it breaks enough connectivity, it can't compensate. But a big thing is if you have a bullet go through both hemispheres and it hits the amygdala, the brain stem, the hypothalamus, it's over.
I mean, those are like your most primordial sections of the brain that keep you alive. Those get hit, you're out, you're done, period. But if one hemisphere, you know, this way, you're like kind of diagonal, you can live. I mean, I wouldn't ever say like, let's try it, you know, like one hemisphere, boom. But it's just, you have better chances. So.
Not that I know of.
I know that there was one, I think in Russia, they were going to do it. Some guy had like, I think terminal cancer or something. I think like he backed out at the last second.
They've done it with mice. Really? Yeah. Yep. And the mice don't live. They die within like a day or so, maybe even a couple hours. But they do find that there is some prolonged activity, but it's not enough. I mean an organ transplant can be hit or miss. A head transplant, I mean you're talking like –
with that morbid curiosity, but in a good sense of like understanding it. Right. Um, but why he chose the ICU, I think that's just where he ended up and he just stuck with it and said, I'm just going to do this.
one in like a million working, you know, unless the science, you know, in the future, but they have done mice.
You don't say.
But again, with the mice, they die.
But I think in one study they did it, and the mouse had, again, some prolonged activity in its body. It just didn't die immediately. It was alive for a little bit of time.
But not like, yeah.
I don't recall, no. That's a wild phenomenon.
Let's hope it works. Yeah. You know, cut the power cord.
Oh yeah. No way.
Um, It changed him in the sense of he knew things could get real, you know. He did tell me a couple stories that he would begin to tear up. He had, you know, some patients die and he had, you know, he tried his best and sometimes that just happens, you know. That, I want to say like messed him up, but it just gave him a different perspective on like life. Yeah. Um, so yeah.
in the beginning stages of getting close is growing human organs, you know? That has science that that can actually be done. I mean, it's just, can we do it well enough where it's like, can it actually work? You know? Because when you're like a fetus or when you're like a clump of cells, you have stem cells. You're made of stem cells that can differentiate into different kinds of organs.
That's how when you're growing, you have organs. You have intestinal cells, stomach cells, because the cells can differentiate at certain stages. So if you have stem cells, you give those stem cells the right –
um triggers and the right nutrients they can form into a liver or a kidney or something right but i mean we're not there yet we can we can grow tissue like a small segment but we can't do a whole functioning organ you kind of need the whole need the real mccoy the body to actually do that
Yeah.
I'm not familiar with that. Yeah.
I know people think that they still use fetuses to get stem cells.
Yeah, but you can pull them for your own, I think, bone. Because the bones, I think, produce stem cells.
I think because it's not an approved procedure to actually do it yet. I think they're still kind of working out the kinks.
But if it goes wrong and something happens, you might blame the doctor. This isn't FDA approved and this should have been approved. I'm just thinking more of the legal stuff.
Um, so, you know, growing up as a kid, fearful, but then having the comfort in science and then the curiosity from my dad learning that stuff. I've always wanted to be a teacher. I love to teach and I love just learning things from teachers. And if you have a good teacher, man, you're just like, you're glued to the board. You're like, yeah, okay. And I wanted to go be a history teacher.
People say no to that because, again, they think of fetuses and they're getting stem cells from aborted babies, but it's embryonic. I think that's just one factor. I don't think it's the reason, but...
Is it that guy that's trying to like make himself young?
Cool.
yeah once it starts to actually get you know figured out it gets cheaper you know um then it'll become more available but yeah the rich will have it first yeah for sure um yeah that's interesting that there's actually doing a billionaire's funding stem cell research i mean that's that's good they're gonna be the ones that live you know like they're gonna be the ones that live like 500 years the rest of us are going to be like like sequestered to only living 90 years
It's from the EMP.
and vacuum tubes are gonna work so i believe the russian military does have some um stock like vacuum tube technology because it's it's emp proof oh really yep vacuum tubes yeah because all you're doing is you're you're heating two plates in a vacuum and you have a transfer of electrons Oh, wow. And there's, there's, there's no circuit there to be like burned up.
Oh, for sure.
DARPA.
so i majored in history and um halfway through um i changed to biochem and um i changed because this is like 2009 2010 when the recession was was happening and uh teachers weren't leaving their positions their finances weren't good so they stayed in the jobs and um i was just told like you know teachers there's not many jobs so i'm like i'm just gonna go for stem
Really?
DARPA is crazy. Um, I had a professor in college just to kind of, cause you brought up DARPA. Um, he worked in research in the eighties and DARPA, I think DARPA was like the pre-internet.
basically yeah the arpanet is what it was called arpanet yes and he said people that were using arpa were uploading images of like nude women and stuff and so like essentially before there was the internet the proto internet had pornography you know really it's just like as as soon as you could share data people are going to do i know right like there's
Oh my gosh. That's.
Yeah.
Jeez Louise. So it really is just like toxic.
Yeah. It's good and bad.
As it should be. It's warfare, I mean, right?
Gosh.
5,000. Or 2,800. Jeez.
Five tons, yeah. Five tons.
Jeez. Well, Operation Paperclip, you know?
Sounds like it, but I'm not sure.
Oh, wow.
And then went for biochem, and I'm like, well, I love science. I love teaching. I found a channel on YouTube called ASAP Science, which kind of does what I do, but it's more of like a lighthearted explanation of science. And I'm like, I can do this, and I love doing this, so I'm just going to do it. And that's how the channel kind of came to be.
Oh, thousands. I mean, your iPhone has billions of transistors. I mean, the scale-up is insane. I mean, what we have today is because of the discovery of the transistor. I mean, that makes everything possible.
um i mean just the amount of sheer power that had to go into those machines because again you're heating the way a vacuum tube works is you have a vacuum you know in a tube and you heat up a plate so hot that it emits electrons so it kind of you know yeah like like incandescence it uses incandescence um i think it is i believe it is yes
And because there's like a vacuum, you know, they don't burn up from the oxygen. Right. And just the amount of power you need to heat up a plate so much that it's glowing. That's one, too. But imagine 2,800. It's insane. It's insane.
Gosh.
And then search for paperclip in there.
I know he did something with computer science as well. Um, the Von Neumann, like I think it's an architecture for computer circuits or like logic.
It really was a polymath. Geez. Wow.
He did something with computer architecture. It's like the Von Neumann architecture. I could be wrong. It could be someone else.
I mean, it was very good. Yeah, I know. Jeez. You know what's even scarier, though? Have you ever heard of Unit 731? Unit 737?
So the Japanese, during the war... Oh, yes, I've heard of that.
What were they doing again? 731, yeah. They were conducting all kinds of... I mean, it makes the concentration camps in Germany look like kindergarten. I mean, just the amount of stuff they were doing. All kinds of inhuman experiments. They would connect twins together. Oh, yeah.
And the U.S., a lot of people don't know, they didn't really prosecute the people who were in charge because as a sort of, you know, like a collateral, they're like, listen, we won't prosecute you if you give us your data on what you found.
And the data was like useless. It was just all torture basically, you know? Yeah.
And I think he died in Argentina at an old age, too, which is really terrible.
I think we did, because they verified with the dental records.
Yeah. The Soviets found him, yeah. Unless they're just saying that.
I believe so, yeah. Because his bunker was, like, torched. So it was just, you know, that's how they used the dental records, yeah.
And, um, my parents would say, Oh, Adam, relax. It's not going to happen to you. You're very young. You know, the chances are it's not going to happen. And that's not very reassuring for a kid. And the peak of like my fear of dying, I don't know why I had a fear, probably because I didn't understand it. There was a girl at the local high school, I was in like fourth grade.
I've never heard of that before.
And where was this taking place?
might be like post nuclear war testing.
I'm not sure if it was kids during that time. I mean, it's possible, but I know that they put a lot of GIs out in fields where they would detonate bombs. There's a very famous video of GIs in a trench, and they detonate a bomb. You can see the smoke streams.
And they detonate the bomb and they get up and they walk in the field. And I'm not sure if it's referencing that. Steve, you're going to have to dig a little more.
Jeez.
Goodness gracious.
I mean, they had the Tuskegee experiments, too.
Thank you. Thank you. And you know, um, people ask me, how do you come up with these ideas? I mean, I think it's kind of hearkening back to my upbringing and, uh, having that morbid curiosity as a kid, I kind of developed it as like an adult. I try and make sure that like, since I love to teach, I want you to understand how this works. And to me, this is a big issue on YouTube science channels.
Well, I don't know. What about the Cold War made made people crazy with just like destruction.
Goodness gracious.
Love Canal, too. But Tuskegee, yeah.
In the 19... Well, yeah, the 1940s? This is actually where I live out in Buffalo. Love Canal, he's doing it right now, was a neighborhood that was owned by Hooker Chemical Company, and they dumped all kinds of chemical waste. They plowed it over, and they sold it to the city of Niagara Falls, and they built... neighborhoods over it.
And for like 20, 30 years, people were like, kids were having like deformed growth defects and cancer and stuff. And the government was like, yeah, it's fine. Just build houses here.
But not even like really being like terrible.
Teflon, yeah.
I've heard of that, too. I've just never seen it.
I was going to just mention that. Yeah. The, uh.
Well, my next video is on microplastics. Oh, really? Yeah. I did a whole deep dive on that and we're all screwed. We are legit screwed. Everyone... I read a couple studies where they took samples from people, fecal sample, blood samples, urine samples, and everyone in these studies had some degree of microplastics in their body. And most of them are entering through not ingestion, but inhalation.
And your lungs is the biggest problem. reservoir for these plastics. And they just are going in and they're staying there. They're biopresistant. Your body cannot break it down. And they're beginning to draw parallels with increases in autoimmune diseases and cancer. Absolutely. Because what these do is they're toxic to cells. They cause cells to produce or
They'll just blurt out like, this happens because this, blah, blah, blah. And I will take my time to make sure you understand the mechanics of a situation, why this happens, how this happens, when this happens. And so that's, you know, my goal. And with dark science, you know, it's a dark topic. You're going to get attention.
induce inflammation and it's a very low grade level. It's not like you have like a bruise or like you have cancer. It's very low grade and it's very insidious over time. Because the more plastics you ingest and inhale over the years, you have more and more inflammation. And they're beginning to wonder if the parallel between cancer and auto immune diseases is with microplastics.
And they're like thinking, yeah, it's probably the case.
Wow.
Yeah. It must interfere with some kind of like process of development.
Geez. Geez. Wow. Yeah. I mean, every person has microplastics here.
Do you know what the largest contributor of microplastics are? I bet you'll never guess. The largest contributor. It's not like an industry per se, but it's like a product, sort of.
No. I mean, that's definitely one of them, but the highest is actually car tires. Oh, interesting.
They're made of synthetic and natural rubbers. But if you think about it, a car tire is constantly being worn down and the speed and the heats releasing all the particles. And so they find that the highest concentration of microplastics that you inhale are near roads. Because, again, you have the breakdown of the tire and then the car is moving and then the wind and the speed just kicks it all up.
And so, I mean, we all have cars.
Yep. And you want to stop that, you got to stop car tires. Jesus Christ.
So you're kind of teaching people without even realizing they're learning.
Yeah, that's convenience, yeah.
No. I mean, you have microplastics bound up in your organs right now, and they're there forever. And it's not like you can remove plaque from a clogged artery. These are micrometers big, smaller than the diameter of a human hair.
they're there for good unless i mean this is pushing it but unless they can somehow engineer bacteria that can break down plastic which i mean you'd be injecting bacteria into your body to break down plastic and that just sounds terrible you know yeah um so that's there for good the only thing we can do is reduce the amount that's happening to us in future generations
I don't think we're there yet. I don't think we ever will be. It's just the damage is so pervasive. Every organ just, I mean, it's awful. The best we can do is just curb towards... more renewable products i mean plastic is so convenient you can mold anything from it the size the durability i mean it's it's really like perfect but with a trade-off huge trade-off yeah
So you might not get cancer now, but after 60 years of living and inhaling plastics, the damage will come.
I didn't see too much because I was there for a week. I'm sure my dad has some crazy stories, but one that comes to mind and I think I can say it's probably fine.
I mean, I'm not sure what the future holds for drug technology.
Sodium nitrite, I believe it is. I mean, there's multiple. That's one I do know. Yeah. I mean, that's.
Oh, yeah.
Well, I mean, so the issue with cancer is it's, again, like multifaceted. The first thing is no cancer like your cancer isn't the same as my cancer. If you have lung cancer and I have lung cancer, it's like it's like our fingerprints. It's specific to you.
So it's hard to produce a drug or a therapy that's going to. have that wide effect, right? Secondly is cancer, at least what we're doing now, we're trying to target, and cancer therapy is target cells that divide very quickly, right? So cells that divide faster like your intestinal cells, right?
Because they're constantly being sloughed off from the digestive process, food passing through, pulling off the cells. So when you take chemotherapy, those cells are targeted. Right. Right? And the idea is cancer cells reproduce very quickly in high amounts. So we're going to target those as well. That's the best we can do, really.
No, it's very systemic.
So nuclear radiation.
Yeah. Yeah.
I know that like, um, people say it started like the first world war is like a, it's like a weapon. I'm not really familiar with that, but I know it started in like the forties and fifties and it's, it's still a good, um, choice for cancer therapy in the beginning stages. It's by no means like the best, but, um, Have you ever heard of CAR-T therapy? CAR-T? Like C-A-R-T? No, never.
No, I mean, there's going to be blood and stuff.
He had a patient who was a chronic drinker. And this has always stuck with me. And I believe he had like severe cirrhosis of the liver. His liver was just like to pieces, shutting down. Wow. And I think he said that this guy was losing blood from his liver and they're just pumping in IV bags one after the other. And they couldn't get the liver, the wound, whatever it was, to seal up. And...
Yeah, myeloma.
The future of cancer therapy and treatments are going to be more biological-based. And what I mean by that is actually using your immune system to actually treat yourself. Right. As opposed to chemical, which is like— Is that essentially what this is? Yeah. Oh, yeah. This is biotechnology. This is altering your own genetic—
Um, special receptors that bind to specific proteins on the surface of cancer cells, long T cells, more effectively cars are special receptors.
I know I've heard of something like this before. Um,
I know with antibody therapy, you essentially... make an antibody outside the body that is made to target a certain type of cell or disease, an antigen, and then you inject it. The issue is sometimes that can produce a really bad immune response because you're having this heightened...
awareness of like there's this protein in here and you get this shock reaction and so it can be kind of dangerous um but i think it's still in its beginning stages of being worked out properly yeah monoclonal antibodies that's what it was yeah they were doing that and it seemed to be pretty effective Monoclonal are, so you have, is it polyclonal? Monoclonal?
Monoclonal are like they have one antigen that they go towards. So you have antibodies that have general, like they'll attack general antigens. This is made for just one specific protein. It's very sensitive. And so if you have that targeting a certain cell or an antigen from like a bacteria or something, it's going to be more effective.
Right. But the downside is you have a very robust immune response, which can be like, again, send you into shock. Oh, wow. But I mean, that's like in rare cases.
No one should say that you're not going to get it. It just reduces the chances. Right. It's not going to... I mean, I had COVID. I was boosted.
Against my will, basically. Why? Why against your will? Well, just because my employer and I was in school at the time. And they're like, if you want to stay here, you got to get the shot. God, that's fucked, man. You know? Yeah.
I heard pieces of it, yes.
Secondly, you know, I'm a man of science. I trust most vaccines that I'm given, probably, if not all. The issue was, and I think people had a reason to be concerned about it, was that, listen, companies take years to develop drugs. We're talking five, 10, 15 years. I think the average time is like seven years. And they did this in a year. Like by all means,
be skeptical just because you guys really got this done in like nine months a year. Like let's wait and see what happens. No, no, no. You're, you're taking it now. That's how it's going to be.
something happened where like the doctor was in the room where my, my dad was there, but they're like, we can't, we can't stop this. Like you're probably going to die. And my, my dad said, the guy looked at him just like, you know, he's like, he, he understood. And he was like, this is my moment. This, this is all I got. And the guy died. Not, not, not long after, but just like,
Well, it's the, you know, I'm right. I'm head of this. And if I say this is fine, you know, it's the power of the position.
Yeah. The science was there. Like, I think if they had waited some more time to do more tests, I mean... any vaccine's gonna affect people, some people negatively. You take a thousand people in a room, you toss a peanut, someone's gonna be allergic. You're gonna have bad results. I'm not sure of the degree of how many people had negative side effects from the COVID vaccine if it was above average.
bad effects um but i mean you can't make a vaccine in a year and have it like across the nation like you have to take this that's just that's just bad news plus it's still early man it's only been a couple years you know we don't know the long-term effects of this stuff we don't know i mean they don't know the long-term effects of most drugs we release
Like a civil lawsuit?
And that's with years of research in producing the vaccine or the drug.
That's good news.
Yeah. So did you get it?
Um, yeah, I got the shot in the, in the booster just because, I mean, it was fighting uphill.
And I had kids in my class too that paid for their semester and then they didn't get the vaccine. It's like, well, we'll keep your money. There's the door, you know? And I'm like, I'm not doing that. I paid for out of pocket.
Thank you.
Oh, it's a deep fake. It's a deep fake.
Yeah. The whole point is just, you know, smack him hard enough. So they just give in. I mean, that's, I had a coworker who was honestly harassed, but they didn't, she, she didn't take the vaccine and she had to come into work with like a COVID test, like twice a week. And she was just like, this is miserable, but I don't know what's going to happen to Fauci after that.
seeing the guy's reaction to like, you're going to die soon. And he did die not long after, I think maybe like a few minutes. Yeah. And he just, I think he said, he looked at my dad and he closed his eyes and then was like at peace because he had no choice. And, you know, that can probably mess some people up. But I think my dad was, you know, he's a veteran of the ICU.
I mean, he has the protection of the federal government. It's, you know. Yeah.
Um, I mean, I, I think the, I mean, I think we're all conclusive enough that the COVID came from China.
I mean, come on, like in gain of function therapy was in China. It's like John Stewart said, if there's an outbreak of chocolatey goodness in Hershey PA, it probably came from the factory.
Or on his talk show, yeah, right?
It probably came from the factory, you know? No, no, no, no, no.
China needs to pay big time. And did you see? I was watching those. Those counts of, like, deaths from COVID, the first, like, month, just, like, every day. And I think, like, at some point, the U.S. hit, like, 300,000. Fucking China's at, like, 80,000. Like, please. Please. No fucking way it's 80,000. Like, millions. Yeah. The sheer density of the cities. I mean, come on.
Interesting.
In some senses, I'm like, yeah, you need a good, strong defensive military in case shit goes to the fan. But at the same time, I mean, that much money that goes into it. I mean, and things happen, you know, nuclear bomb testing and Wuhan. Yeah. I mean, the cost for it. Jeez.
I think the last was the 57.
Oh, but you mean like used in warfare? Used in warfare, yeah. No one wants to do it. I think people know.
So, you know, maybe that affects him today. I don't know. But that was a story that was really just like, holy crap.
they can't be used and they can also detonate here too.
Sure.
Even if they don't, 400 nuclear missiles? I mean that's a nuclear holocaust still. Yeah. So I mean – I think North Korea is still behind on their technology. Let's hope they are. Yeah, they definitely are.
Geez Louise.
Yeah. So what was the last one before that one, though? Oh, the eighties or something. Seventies.
I mean, there are studies that, you know, people who are more positive, who have family and friends around will have better outcomes. They if they don't beat the cancer, sometimes they do, depending on the stage and the degree. But if they don't beat the cancer, they have a better quality of life. And this this can this be, you know, through positive outcomes.
A lot in Russia, too.
Holy shit. Wow. And we're just going up and up and up and up.
Nevada is just getting all the action. Geez.
All mutants out there, yeah. Russia's all over the place.
What's the flag with the orange, white, and green? They just did one. I think that's Italy. Oh, orange, white, and green? Is that Britain?
That'd be funny. That would be funny, right?
India.
Gotcha.
Well, that's good to know.
She died from meningitis. She was like 15 and it was all over the news. It was a big deal. And so as a kid, I'm like, well, I'm going to die. You know, like this is terrifying. If it happened to this girl, it's going to happen to me. Um, and so that just kind of like sealed the deal. Like if my parents went out for a, to go run errands and they, I'm like, this has taken a while.
Just don't launch it. I mean, that's right. Or get to that country and stop them from launching it. But I think they developed one that was underground too.
Yeah. To like induce earthquakes and which, I mean, it's amazing that didn't like, you know, cause any plates to shift or something. But yeah, I mean, one gets launched and that's it.
You have more endorphins when your family are around. Your body has chemical cascades that kind of help you perform better. But whether it be like adrenaline, again, it'd be endorphins. Maybe if you're more positive, you're drinking more water, you're doing more positive things that can help you. Whereas if you're more giving up, You're not eating. You don't care about your medication.
Oh, yeah. Because it's you don't have the ozone layer to the ozone layer will be filter it out.
I mean, at that point, you're going to repeat what happened to the dinosaurs. I mean, the sun was blacked out for 15 years, they estimate. And the sub-underground mammals are ones that lived, you know? Yeah, I didn't think about the atmosphere being degraded, though. It was constant UV light. Right. Oh, that sucks. Gosh, you'd be baking.
Yeah, which wouldn't take long.
What's ever in, like, the Mariana Trench will be the dominant species, right?
Hard drive, yeah.
Something like that. It's pretty high or like the depth, I think, or, you know, what's down there. Yeah. I mean, we're, oh, it's scary as hell.
That's what it was. It was something like, yeah, space. We know more about space than we do about like the depths of the ocean. I mean, what the hell is down there? Isn't that crazy? Jeez. But I mean, if we were to go terraform the moon, I mean, once your resources are exhausted, that's on there. I mean, you're screwed. Like what do you have on the moon? There's, there's no nutrients there.
There's no carbon based materials. There's no wood or.
I've heard about it.
I mean, you couldn't do that on the moon unless you had the materials to grow the steak, though, too. I mean, the meat and the cells would need proteins and carbohydrates and DNA. So, I mean, it only works if you have the materials, you know?
Like it was mined out or something?
I mean, those could just be from crater impacts from asteroids or... I guess.
You'd think they'd go more often, but I guess there's just not a whole lot of reason to go back. I think they know that there's nothing really on there, just a giant rock in space.
Yeah. Part of that is because of if you set up. Sensitive material, like not material, like telescopes in space trying to produce, trying to do research on the moon for radiation in space. The dark side of the moon has no interference from the sun. So you have like super sensitive material.
readings on that side of the moon that's like the best place to do any kind of um outer space research and it's it's so empty and secluded um that's you know one reason why you would want to put a base on the dark side of the moon is you have like the best sensitive readings
If China puts a base on the moon, we'll have one in like two weeks.
Yeah. I mean, really, I think the moon, we should be thinking about putting an automated system on the moon that's unmanned. And we can send back information, and that can be an extra way to do research, too. You don't have to have a society on the moon. That's just going to be hell.
And that will take a toll. I mean, the more stressed you are, the more cortisol you produce and more inflammation on your body. So, I mean, the mindset is a big deal. I don't think it's the factor, but it definitely helps.
Yeah.
If you, you'd have to import all of your, unless there was like, I think the moon has lots of metals, but beyond that, there's not much that you can really use. It'd be a good stopping space, but it depends. Right. Not, I'm not too familiar with like the moon and Mars. I would say that'd be a good spot to at least put some kind of automated research facility or something, you know? Yeah.
Not in our lifetime. I don't think so.
if not immortal, much longer life.
I was just... The guy just... He's just so confused. So confused. I feel kind of bad for him because he has the passion for it, but he's just way out there. I was watching it and I'm like... I think as a scientist, you have to have an open mind and just listen to someone. I'm like, okay, this is kind of weird, but I'll just sort of listen and just kind of humor it. And I got through 15 minutes.
I'm like, this is just batshit crazy.
I did. I saw the first half hour, an hour. And he's in the same camp. He's like, you know, you have my... a motor for a Lambert, uh, a Lamborghini motor in the chassis of like a Volkswagen. You're just going, but you can't, you can't do it right. You know? And I'm just thinking like this guy, I don't know where that came from, you know?
Cause he was an actor and I know he went to some college in New York that was more of a liberal arts college that had an engineering program, but they stopped it when he attended.
You know? Um,
probably was as a kid yeah yes now i'm i mean i'm fine now because yeah i understand things you know right right um but i definitely was as a kid i have asthma i have like the worst case of asthma in the world um if i like i used to do football in high school and i would run all the time now if i go for a jog outside i'd be like you know, it's just, it's, I, I can't.
I mean, good for Saturn, right?
That would be, well, Mercury's the closest, then Venus, and then us, and then Mars.
I'm not an astrophysicist, but to the layman. The sun's just a giant fusion reactor. It's just burning. There's nothing to be made. It's just heat. There's no materials in the sun to produce heat. rocks and the metals and all that's an earth's crust. I mean, that's, I mean, a lot of what he said is just nonsense.
He's just kind of tying together words that sound really smart.
You know, I mean, I appreciate his passion and that he wants to explore truths, but I mean, there's no, there's nothing there. Yeah. You know, unfortunately, but...
I'm not sure why I think it has to do with um The perspective from earth we can see The atmosphere on earth allows us to see the actual light because it's like bouncing through the waves the The light going through the atmosphere, right? um
sort of not energizes but allows us to see the light better whereas if you're in space that's all like a vacuum right there's nothing for the light to really energize and uh that makes sense yeah that makes sense so i mean that's i think i think that's why but yeah No, space is scary. I did a video on your body in space. And space is a near perfect vacuum.
It's not a perfect vacuum, but it's pretty close. The reason space is like a vacuum is because it's so huge. It's enormous. And so there's no... The way you make a vacuum is either you pump out air from like a container or you increase the volume so that the air can kind of be more free. And space is so vastly huge that it's a vacuum.
And in vacuum conditions, just the gases have no pressure holding them down. And so the gases in your gut and all your cavities just expand rapidly and you essentially just kind of blow up.
Yeah.
Within seconds, yeah. Within seconds. Seconds. Um, I took a class on vacuums in college. Um, just like, you know, like to make semiconductors, you have like very high ultra vacuums and, um, just the, we, we would put like marshmallows in the vacuum. No shit. Oh yeah. Because right now the atmosphere of Europe is, is pushing down on all, all the gases. Um,
And so they're pressurized and they're safe in our bodies. But when you go out to space, there's no pressure on the gases, no atmosphere. They just turn into a gas within seconds. So- What happens is all the cavities in your stomach expand, your skin tears apart, and any water in your body evaporates into a gas. And then space is freezing cold. There's no heat in space because of the vacuum.
So it's like, it's getting worse, you know? So I just kind of with late, uh, with, I lift weights into the treadmill and biking, but yeah. But even with that, I'm like, yeah, it's asthma. It sucks.
All the gases just expand outward. You become a frozen husk, empty of all fluid and blood.
yeah um in the 1960s they were 19 the mid 60s they were testing vacuums in like for like for nasa on the conditions in space and there was an astronaut he was in a vacuum and his tube came loose and the last thing he remembers he he passed out in like 10 seconds the last thing he recalls is the saliva on his tongue vaporizing
Because there is no atmospheric pressure in the vacuum, nothing to hold down the gases.
And it just evaporated. And then he passed out. Luckily, they were able to get to him fast enough. So you pass out within seconds.
Yeah, it is. And then conversely, if you're at the bottom of the ocean, you just get compressed into a pulp. Again, all your cavities are destroyed. Your lungs, your stomach, parts of your head just crushed.
Goodness. Instantaneous. And like, I think the speed at which the implosion happens is like two times the speed of human perception.
Yeah, so this is what he was talking about. I don't even know what this is. No, I don't know what this is either. I have no clue. I know that he talks about elements, and I think that each element has a certain frequency, and maybe he's confusing string theory and the periodic table of elements. Yeah, it's wacky stuff.
That's good. I mean, I think there's always something good that can happen from this sort of thing.
With Neil deGrasse Tyson, he really explained the peer review process when he was sort of debunking what Howard had showed him. And I think that's a good way to learn what science goes through to actually learn and produce papers and studies.
And people learn. That's how it happens. The octaves, I have no idea. Yeah.
Yeah, thank you for having me.
I just have one. I mean, I have a couple of small channels which I don't upload, but my channel is Dark Science. I should have a video up in the next two weeks, week and a half about microplastics. How often do you make videos? Once or twice a month. Once or twice a month?
I've been thinking about it for a long time as a kid. It's just, they just kind of, they just kind of come to me. Agonal breathing. What is agonal breathing? Agonal breathing is either through like a disease that puts, um, well, I'm not gonna go into that.
So let's talk about more in terms of like injury. Um, if, um, you have some kind of condition like a disease or your brain gets damaged where you can't produce any oxygen. So like metabolic acidosis where your, your body is chemically not making oxygen. Right. Or, um, you get injured and you can't breathe properly. You know, your, your brain gets injured or something.
Essentially with agonal breathing, when that happens, that's a sign that the brainstem is the last surviving operating part of your brain. And, um, that's a sign that like the rest of your brain is shutting down if not shut down and that the brainstem controls breathing and heart rate. And if you're just like that, that's just, um, that's the death throes, the final straw, final straws.
If you see someone doing that, like get into a hospital, like they're, they're about to die, you know?
Yeah, I mean, they can't conclusively say if the person's conscious.
Basically, yeah. I mean, how, you know? I know during the French Revolution, they were decapitating people left and right. Someone said that they held up a head of a political dissident and they said jokes about her and she smirked at the person, which I think is just like, you know. legends, you know, a myth. Right, right.
But what they did discover, and they did it mainly on mice, is that when you decapitate, you cut off the head, the brain still has enough electrical activity for a couple of seconds to That is indicative that could potentially have some consciousness. And it drops rapidly after like two or three seconds.
Blood's gone. I mean, you put someone in like a chokehold, they pass out. That's pretty much what they're saying happens with... a decapitation is if I put you in a chokehold, you're just, you just blackout. Um, but they're saying due to the amount of, they had like an electrocardiogram on mice's head, a mouse's head.
And, um, they saw that the brain activity was enough that it was, again, could have some consciousness. Now we're not saying that you do have consciousness, but that you have enough activity where there could be, you know?
you're probably not conscious, but if you were, it'd be for like two seconds. Right. And then lights out.
Thank you. Thank you.
I have a Twitter, but the YouTube is the main thing. I don't post on Instagram really or Twitter.
Thank you.
That's, that's still pretty scary. I got nothing for that. Right. But yeah, no, but as a kid, you're just like, holy crap, it's black. And you think about it.
Jeez.
Oh yeah. No, I mean, there's, there's no way getting around that.
Unless you have like religion, you believe in karma or karma, like re- I forget what it's called.
I see a lot of old people at church, like a lot of old people.
Yeah. I'm going to die soon. I should probably, you know, find something. Yeah. Yeah.
My mind, they died in a car accident or whatever, or I'm going to get cancer, you know, just like crazy fear. So fast forward to about sixth grade, I joined the Boy Scouts and you have a bunch of 10, 11 year old kids around a campfire. They're just going to burn shit, you know, and they're tossing in styrofoam and plastic cups and plastic wrap. And I'm like having a freak out.
So there's a lot of things at play there. I mean, studies that find, so fluoride at higher concentrations, is this going to cause damage? It will have the effects of no cavities, but you're going to have a lot of other effects. Studies that have said, you know, fluoride is a neurotoxin or not a neurotoxin, but it damages your neurons and your neurological processes significantly. Two things.
Those are studies that have fluoride at very high concentrations. So in the U.S., the average concentration of fluoride is about one part per million. Very, very low. I was reading a study a couple months ago about fluoride and... They're like, yeah, we found that people that were drinking this water out in this village in India, they had cognitive deficits and they had diarrhea and this and that.
