In 2016, the WHO predicted millions of cases of Zika in America and sparked global panic when the virus was connected to newborn microcephaly – a birth defect causing smaller head size and impaired brain development. But Dr. Randy Bock says Zika was just another pandemic of panic. The physician alleges that no clinical testing existed when cases were first reported and diagnoses relied on simple questionnaires. When proper testing was later implemented, no significant link between Zika and microcephaly was found – which he says is evidence that institutional interests were the real driving force behind the health scare.Dr. Randy Bock is a physician and author. A Yale graduate with a B.S. in Chemistry and Physics, he earned his M.D. from the University of Rochester.

“Sneaky f**kers is a zoological term from the 1970s,” Professor Gad Saad explains. “I applied it to explain male social justice warriors.”Dr. Saad’s ‘Sneaky F**ckers’ theory is based on a zoological mating strategy that found weaker males of certain species would make themselves appear more female in order to avoid challenges from the pack’s alpha. The theory proposes that weaker human males are now employing the same tactics through a form of wokefishing – performative feminism, self-hating racism, and the display of public-facing amulets like cloth masks, pronouns in bios, or aposematic hair coloring – even though their ultimate goal is the same (or worse) than the biologically stronger males that they are trying to avoid.Seth Dillon is the CEO of The Babylon Bee, the world’s most the trusted, factually accurate news source.

Justine Bateman is not a fan of generative AI like Sora. The actor / director says GAI tech is simply the latest algorithmically-driven nail in Hollywood’s coffin of content – but something else will be born from its ashes.“… audiences will eventually feel sick about watching AI, and about all the ways in which AI will have infiltrated their lives, their job, their kids’ education, their grocery store, their insurance, etc., and they will begin to reject it wholesale,” Bateman writes in Fast Company. “Audiences will then not only reject films made with GAI but reject films that even look like they were made with GAI. They will want something real, raw, and obviously human.”Justine Bateman is an actor, director, author, and founder of the Credo23 Film Festival. She starred as Mallory Keaton in Family Ties and appeared in Desperate Housewives and Californication. Her directorial debut Violet, starring Olivia Munn, premiered at SXSW 2021.
