Thank you . I ' ll definately read The State and the Revolution one day . It ' s indeed a shame how Lenins name has been ruined these days , even though the man was a genius . <| sep |> Is embassycat twitter account using riseup email too ? <| sep |> Ahhh the 15 second Qs , the dream . <| sep |> That ' s bullshit . a huge part of a surgeon ' s job is assessing problems and coming up with efficient solutions that maximize patient outcomes while minimizing recovery time and patient suffering . You understand that they are pretty much only allowed to choose from a list of FDA approved procedures , right ? Doctors are technicians , not engineers or scientists . They are like car mechanics , except humans are way more complicated not even being fully understood on top of it . You need to be smart to absorb all of that knowledge and know how it relates . But it ' s not the same . d octorsarenotscientistsLet ' s not denigrate Carson ' s prowess in the operating room . Zero carryover to anything else . That ' s all I care about . He might be a total dumbfuck in everything else he does , but he was still a highly skilled professional . All I care about is the first part . I would beg him on my knees if my kid needed brain surgery , but I would also beg him on my knees not to go into politics .
