@DeeManiOfficial Exactly! Why would your body be trying to kill you. The body is always trying to survive. Cancer is a mechanism for your body to prevent sepsis. I read this book over 10 years ago and it changed my perception of disease.

@Bitconnnneeeect @DrJamesOlsson He is responding to a tweet he posted about earlier. The person I’m guessing he is talking about is Cynthia Lai. If you go thru his posts he isn’t being cryptic. I agree he could do a better job posting with hashtags or links..but he is worth following.

@josh18765 @YoungBlank_ @NoLifeShaq Exactly the point. It was Eminem that introduced you to a genre of music that had been around for decades. It’s implicit bias. Eminem is super talented and deserves praise. But I feel like using record sales in this manner, to measure greatness, is deceptively misleading.

It’s not a question of talent. Eminem is super talented. No one is taking that away from him. But he can’t touch 2pac/Jayz.
