Harvard-educated Jewish female writes hit piece to #MeToo cancel one of the world's supergreat authors—an anti-semite, yes—140 years after his death.


Yours too? (Twilight Zone music.)


The Francesco Molinari-Pradelli Turandot is available on Pandora. I recommend it for Franco Corelli alone, a great dramatic tenor. We may never see his like again.

Here's Dame Eva Turner’s massive voice in Turandot’s “In quests reggia”, Act II, Scene II. It's an old recording, but they don't make them like this anymore.

He's just saying n=1.

Medical advice on the internet can be n=1, but read enough to get to n=100+, while still limited, can be quite valuable. I can't ask 100 doctors what’s wrong with me, but I can ask my question to hundreds in an online forum. They might lead me astray, but so can a single doctor’s misdiagnosis. A doctor can prescribe treatment that helps or harms, but I can ask a forum of people, with the same problem I have, if I should take his advice. I can't, however, ask 100 of his colleagues or peers if I should trust his advice, and that's why we end up with so many charlatans in medicine. But he's a doctor. Of course you can trust him! I don't know about the rest of you, but I've found a fair number of doctors to be mostly useless.


I was diagnosed similarly at 46, but celiac, not Chron's.

I spent a 26 years battling the strangest health issues only to find out that I'm allergic to wheat. My body didn't produce the classic symptoms of celiac, which is my disease, until it did: Duhring disease, or sores that form in response to gluten reactivity.

The gluten-free lifestyle is a shock for someone who loves bread and pasta as much as I do, but I feel a thousand percent better.

Inexplicable weight gain my entire adult life disappeared seemingly overnight, as if my body couldn't wait to get rid of it. I went from 235 to 170 without even trying.

Doctors tried over and again to diagnose me with bipolar disorder since I was 21, and I kept telling them they were full of s**. The symptoms of depression and mania have completely disappeared. I haven't had to take an antidepressant or antipsychotic in over a year. I was taking both every day.

Worse was hives. I had this untreatable disorder known as cholinergic urticaria, essentially allergic to my own sweat, and now that's gone as well. This urticaria disease is so debilitating I wouldn't wish it on the worst of people.

I still feel like an idiot.

I always knew it was related to yeast. I told doctor after doctor, but they kept thinking it was some sort of fungal infection. I knew yeast was causal somehow. I never thought it would be so simple: wheat is my personal poison.

A diet without gluten has given me a new lease on life, so now I have to confront the world with complete health, and that is truly difficult.

I lived my entire adult life alone because I was poisoning myself with gluten.

And make no mistake, I was absolutely one of those people poo pooing gluten-free this, gluten-free that as just another ridiculous fad diet.

Was I ever wrong!


Her exclusion could also be explained by her success coming directly from easy access to his resources. It could be argued that no one would know who she was had she not married Brin.

Is this just a stupid article or am I missing something?


Patience, grasshopper. We're still learning. It's early times yet, and we're not dealing with HTML and CSS simplissimus. It's mostly money right now. Money hardens everything.

I think a killer app in voting will materialze soon enough. What do you mean my vote didn't count? I can show you it counted. It's right here on the blockchain. If you can't manipulate my vote, you can't manipulate my democracy, and my democracy is being a seriously manipulated.
