Healthy Rabbit Hole
Much of the internet has turned into a rabbit hole. The goal of this site is to provide a healthy rabbit hole.
The major political parties work for the wealthy, not for the common person. While sometimes there will be disputes between competing factions of the rich, the vast majority of the political rivalry is just showmanship to give the people the feeling that their vote matters.
Both Donald Trump and Joe Biden have expressed extreme disdain for people like me in their public speeches and statements. Many of their supporters have shared that disdain. Im not going to win any popularity contests.
I want you, my readers, to find the truth and feel compelled to act upon the truth.
Real change comes from persistent protest in the streets. Or armed revolution. I strongly recommend the persistent protest option.
Are you ready for the rabbit hole?

News: An origin story for a family of oddball meteorites. Researchers at MIT and elsewhere have determined that the parent body of these rare meteorites was indeed a multilayered, differentiated object that likely had a liquid metallic core. This core was substantial enough to generate a magnetic field that may have been as strong as Earths magnetic field is today. Phys.org 24 July 2020
News: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention acknowledged Friday that a significant number of COVID-19 patients do not recover quickly, and instead experience ongoing symptoms, such as fatigue and cough. As many as a third of patients who were never sick enough to be hospitalized are not back to their usual health up to three weeks after their diagnosis, the report found. NBC News 24 July 2020
News: In a new report, Chao Ma and an interdisciplinary team of scientists in China, the Netherlands, and Germany, rationally designed proton-conducting protein constituent materials that exceeded previously reported proteinaceous (consisting of or containing protein) systems. They developed the structures through stepwise exploration of peptide sequences from intrinsically disordered coils to protein-supercharged polypeptide chimeras. The new design paradigm offers potential for bioprotonic device fabrication at the interfaces of artificial and biological systems, the results are published on Science Advances.
