Yeah I know there's no rational thought involved.

Smart just means the pre-frontal cortex is better trained for the job that it is designed to do: act as a firewall / interface for the 95% hidden brain and consequently it just does a better job of rationalizing the internally inconsistent data that the hidden brain absorbs as it doesn't have any data correction mechanisms.

Just look to doctors. A highly prestigious profession wherein every person must follow the current trends, no matter how many people they personally kill. A profession that takes many decades of learning and practice to become good at, requiring a certain amount of intellect and dedication to follow through with that isn't present in the average populace.

And still, there they are, intubating people with the common cold, prescribing incredibly addictive opioids to idiots with a slight pain caused by being fat when they could buck the trend and assign them to a dietician.

You reminded me of this post today on .win: nobody dies at home of covid (patriots.win)

I think you are totally correct. It never occurred to me that I have never heard of a single person being found at home dead from covid in almost 2 years.

The fucking doctors are literally killing people.

The fucking doctors are literally killing people.

Cardiac problems and medical malpractice are very high up there in the list of "things that kill us." Unfortunately, these statistics are also where doctors and nurses hide their victims. There's the idea that doctors of old killed more people than they saved. Maybe, just maybe, that idea might still hold.

Ive worked in direct patient care for over a decade. I can personally attest that medical errors is definitely the #1 (not #3) killer in the us. By a lot. Most errors and failures are not reported because they can easily be swept under the rug and no lne wants to ger in trouble or cost the hospital money. Bear in mind, it's not just straight up errors killing people. More likely, it's systemic failure due to understaffing. Checkups and medications not being done on time has serious effects on patient outcomes. Most nurses will joke that their primary job is to keep doctors from killing patients. They aren't joking. Probably an average of a third on nurses time on the job is spent trying to correct a doctors mistake or at least check to see if they've made a potential mistake. It's not even mostly carelessness on behalf of doctors (although it is common). There simply aren't enough drs to provide an adequate amount of attention to getting things right. Systemically, it's even worse. I dont want to dox myself but im more familiar with pharmacy and laboratory operations. These two departments spend a huge amount of time trying to catch and fix mistakes the drs AND rns make. It's a cascading problem. In these departments, it's usually minimally educated technicians catching and trying to fix errors made by the more educated rns and drs. Even worse, drs have nearly zero accountability for making errors. I have never seen or heard of a dr even being spoken to about the volume of errors they make, let alone reprimanded. Even if an error DOES result in a negative outcome, the blame almost always goes to the lowest paid person in the decision chain.
