This double-bass video took 10 years of practice. Science is the same. You can’t gain expertise in an afternoon. Everyone has an opinion. But you wouldn’t take music advice from someone who’s never played a note. So why take science advice from someone who’s never studied it?

Marxism is “anti-bourgeois” theory written by a bourgeois intellectual, funded by bourgeois money, and designed to crown a new bourgeois elite. Marx wasn’t a worker. He wasn’t oppressed. He wasn’t living the life he romanticized. He was a failed academic living off handouts from

A runner presents with knee swelling that is worse post-run but is now pain free after a period of rehab. There is no loss of range, no locking/ giving way. Running is not painful during or after. Would you suggest they continue their return to running if it remains pain free?
