Less than 50% of the cells in “your body” contain your own DNA.
There are many more bacteria, since they are much much smaller than “your own” eukaryotic cells.
Where you end and your “gut flora” begin and end is not as clear as you might first believe.

“Conspiracy” assumes the government is functioning in a fundamentally honest manner.
In the 70s, the public was frankly shocked to learn about the Watergate Scandal, because they assumed America operated in a fundamentally honest manner.
After Watergate, the “conspiracy theorist” developed. Because if Watergate is true, what else is going on?
Around that time, AM radio was looking for new programming after the public’s music listening transitioned to FM and we got a steady diet of extremist religious programming and Conspiracy-laden talk radio. Shortly after the Fairness Doctrine ended and things really took.off. One of the biggest TV series of the 90s was the X-files.
Anyways, if you have a conspiratorial government (e.g.China), you’re not a “conspiracy theorist” to believe in conspiracy. There are very obvious conspiracies at work.
The corruption epidemic the US is now facing (post Citizens United) means we no longer have a fundamentally honest government.

The switch from PC usage to locked down devices has made things worse and more expensive and less creative.
Remember, Apple invented the PC but IBM democratized it.
We didn’t get the same thing again.
Apple invented the Smartphone and Google also contributed locked down devices.

- Comment on Instead of having customers donate a dollar and giving them a coupon book "worth" $30, why doesn't KFC just donate those $30 themselves (or even half)? 1 month ago:
The idea is to get people used to visiting KFC.
- Comment on Seriously, what the f*** is keeping Donald Trump in this presidential race? 2 months ago:
Trump was elected in 2016 because he got on twitter and was a birther dickhead.
Democrats ran Hillary and that was just a bridge too far for some Americans.
Democrats ran an old white man in 2020 and won.
2024 Democrats are running a black woman. Is that a bridge too far for Middle Amerikkka?
- Comment on Anon isn't a fan of Judas 2 months ago:
Gnosticism, to me, honestly feels like the true story of Christianity.
There are lots of unrelated ideas and beliefs grouped together as “Gnosticism”. The truth was that early Christianity was incredibly diverse, varied and local.
Only when the Emperor(s) got involved (around the third century) does there–like everything the Emperor’s did–need to be a uniformity and consistency so that Christianity reflects the Emperor’s fasces.
