<p>I find this comment, on it's face, very hard to understand. An apparent abundance of qualifiers without definition. Is this an example of circular reasoning?<p>It seems to me that the text is saying that generalised labour produces value, but then only specific labour produces actual value. What is the difference between actual value and value in general? Is some value somehow more valuable that other? Are we even speaking the same language? Is this just making shit up as you go along and hope nobody notices because the general idea is appealing?</p>

<p>Nothing has no risk.<p>A not insignificant number of people suffered from severe health issues from the covid vaccine alone.<p>The definition of what a vaccine is and the requirement for testing were relaxed to allow for what would otherwise have been regarded as immature to be included in the vaccine category, and has remained so since. It is therefore reasonable that the trust in vaccines had been impacted to some extent.</p>

<p>The video does not counter the parents argument about measuring fit.<p>What the masons in the video do is certainly impressive. Cutting organic shapes that fit perfectly together, as if they once were elastic, is another level.<p>Perhaps the did something similar to what dentists do when building on teeth so that the added material is not the only contract point when jaws are closed. That is, a contact sheet that leaves contact marks.</p>
