The US is a far-right illiberal democracy, not unlike Hungary under Orban, but on a scale never before seen in human history. The potential effects on global civilization are catastrophic. We need to isolate the US from the world as a matter of self-preservation.

Harm reduction saves lives by reducing overdoses, preventing disease, and connecting people to care. Abstinence-only fails substance users, with higher rates of illness, overdose, and relapse. #HarmReduction #DrugPolicy #SubstanceUse #Substances #Drugs #Health #Healthcare #Canada #Politics #CdnPoli

AI doesn’t make people stupid. It reduces cognitive load by offloading some work, the same way Google or calculators do, without harming our ability to think. It extends thought rather than replacing it. #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #Automation #MachineLearning #Technology #Science #Politics
