Failing a treatment that has held promise for so many others and been heralded as paradigm-shifting is such a weird place to be. There's comfort in knowing others won't suffer, but loneliness is knowing you or a loved one still is.

Modern orthdoox jews are kind of like Mitt Romney is for Mormons. Observant of all the rules, but also raised with a full secular education, encouraged to go to college, and expected to participate in society rather than isolate in thier community.

Personally, I have epilepsy and am increasingly aware that while some paradigm-shifting treatments are on the horizon, they are a decade or so away and likely won't come to market in time to fully help me (particularly reverse small but accumulating damage caused by seizures). And that's a weird feeling.

But I hadn’t considered this fell into that category. Except maybe as a direction from Iran. You make a good point, it may trigger immediate reactions in the market. Not just 3-6 month ones.

I wonder what the counterbalance will be by Monday morning.

Efficiency will become the next thing to focus on. It was already emerging, but accelerating the focus on efficiency will lead to a ton of excess capacity and even some investments in data centers to go belly up. And ultimately the AI bubble bursting will look a lot like the dot com, with its surplus fiber.

Oh, and this will put gas on the fire that fighting AI and big tech is the next political rally cry. Along with “eat the rich” as they are seen as taking both jobs and money.

Curious to see where it’s all headed and how Trump’s call will impact it.

And im also anti viewing it as the apocalypse

Every year I get offered the intro rate again of maybe $5/week. then cancel when it gets too cold to sit outside and read.

Might cost them more to print and deliver it.

People pivot and leverage what they previously were to become something new all the time.

So without concern for the humans with HIV* there an argument to be made that treating symptoms without curing made it spread more?

*obviously, this is just hypothetical. It’s important to care about the life of those with HIV. No banish them all to something like a leper-colony. Although it explains the logic for those at the time they existed better than a religious one did.

And some parts of most publicly traded ones.

If it’s not a bootstrapped company with a single offering, there’s a highly likely something there doing is at a loss in the name of growth (and even there, the loss might come in the form of deferred compensation)
