If they had bothered to show me a visual representation and an explanation of the chemistry behind it, I could have grasped it well enough. And I probably would have been inspired to pursue chemistry in college. But at the time, it was just a bunch of jargon to memorize. Adenine, guanine, etc. I dunno. Maybe it's just me, but I'd rather be intrigued by something just beyond my scope of understanding than bored by rote memorisation exercises. This applies to chemistry, especially. I fell in love with the subject as soon as I learned how to draw molecules. I can memorize the way a molecule LOOKS and then deduce the chemical formula alot more easily than memorizing some meaningless chemical formula and associating it with some molecular name. I kinda' lost my train of thought. My point is that it wouldn't have been difficult to inspire me. But public education still failed to do that. I hope things are better for future generations.

Without virusses, mammals would still lay eggs: The protein syncytin, which is essential for formation of the placenta, originally came to the genome of our ancestors, and those of other mammals, via a retrovirus infection. Placental structures have also developed in non-mammalian vertebrates. The first placenta-like structures probably arose in egg-laying vertebrates, around 400 million years ago in fish, 150 million years ago in mammals, and 25 million years ago in Mabuya lizards. It seems likely that these events took place after retrovirus infection followed by capture of env genes, which allowed fusion of cells in the placenta. This repurposing of a retroviral gene occurred randomly and rarely in evolution, but it clearly imposed an advantage, as placental-mediated live birthing has endured.

In autoimmune diseases, the immune system is not accidentally attacking the body. The immune system is not dysregulated at all. It is working as it should. In autoimmune diseases, the immune cells are attacking a foreign substance most likely toxins. In MS, it is the brain and myelin sheath that are mostly affected. Mercury causes most multiple scoliosis and mercury gets stored in the fat that is the brain and the fat on the myelin sheath. But because toxins are not microbial, the immune system is ineffective in removing the toxin. The toxin has to be removed by the liver. But as long as the toxin is in the body and the immune system is not suppress then it will keep attacking the toxin which will affect the organ and/or tissue part that it is stored in.

​@@louiserocks1 Not all anti-vaxers are nutcases. Some of them choose judiciously which vaccines to give their kids, based on certain auto-immune diseases that they are genetically prone to developing. Adverse reactions are sometimes predictable. Not with a strong degree of certainty. But risk CAN be assessed.

​@@louiserocks1Don't be embarrassed to say you are against them. You have just made a brilliant argument for being against it as you said you have been healthy and had none. I am proud to be against it. Unfortunately I did receive some when I was young and not in control of my own body so I am not in good health but I haven't taken any since I have been in control of my own body.

While you were discussing this, a thought came to mind. The indigenous north american peoples had no immunity to the europeans when they were first arrived. Diseases that were pretty well harmless in Europe, killed those indigenous peoples by the thousands due to never having had those diseases. That in itself shows the end result if we try or attempt to try. Heck even cleanrooms or plastic bubbles wouldn't help.

The Indians were not indigenous. They only arrived in North America from Siberia in the 6th or 7th centuries.

You have a Vitamin D3 deficiency. Viruses only sicken those who are deficient. You should have a RED CELL BLOOD TEST to check your levels if you wish. White cell blood tests do not give you the true results. You need to go outside more because the human body manufactures Vitamin D3 from the sunlight entering the body. If that isn't feasible, eat a large piece of Wild Sockeye Salmon every week or have sardine sandwiches throughout the week. Both Wild Sockeye Salmon and sardines are full of Vitamin D3. Trust me, it works very well.

I have bad arthritis. 5 years ago, I told my rheumatologist that I actually feel better when I'm sick. She nodded her head in agreement. Sounds odd but true. When I get a virus, my immune system has something to attack other than itself.

For a moment there, I thought you had actually visited the great state of Alabama, and North Alabama, no less, and the Tenneessee River specifically. Let me say that you have a standing invitation to visit us here any time! The Tennessee Valley is beautuful. I live just downstream from Lake Guntersville overlooking Wilson Lake. Come by any time!

Applause to Master Arran and company. The legend of Siddartha Gautama has him eradicating his physical parasite, Mara, by mental concentration. His Buddhist supplicants reportedly intuited and sought to preserve the existence of microscopic life in water. Genuine perception of Reality, and the judgement that follows, are functions of respect for Truth. Not reactionary responses to threat. Problems need to get solved without the creation of other problems. Amen. Nihilism ... Obey Truth.

Hey Thoughty2, have you ever heard about the man who died never having seen a woman. Think this could be an interesting video with your research and amazing story-telling capabilities

I liked how you jumped into sponsoring " Fishing Class." Normally I don't like when the video has to be stopped so you can talk about or promote the sponsor, but how you jump into the sponsor is always intriguing and fun. I'd ask the sponsor for a raise as I tend to sit through most of your sponsor spills, compared to other KZread channels where I just skip or fast-forward through the sponsor. =)

That was great storytelling, mate. Your script writing and content has come a long way!

give this to the government NOW

So TL;DR, the earth's biosphere is too complicated of a jenga puzzle to simply remove even the tiniest, most harmful piece without it toppling.

The first rule of mustache club is we don't talk about mustache club.

I had to spend 2 weeks in a shit house with a crazy cat woman that had 17 cats. I thought I was gonna die in that dirty shit hole. Couple of years later I got bit by a stray dog in Romania. Still here. I got a cut in my toe under water in the jungle in India. Still here. If I hadn't lived in that shit hole for 2 weeks I'd be dead. It made me stronger!

Great video as always. I look forward to them every week. Keep up the good work.

Fascinating subject. Great video as always. Thank You 😎

This video made me think of Mao's Great Leap Forward when he told everyone in China to kill all the sparrows and they did! Suddenly aphids ran rampant and crops failed left and right causing a huge famine! It's not nice to mess with Mother Nature...

You can easily find 100's of videos explaining DNA, genetics, gene transcription, and so on on and on. Presented at all levels of knowledge and understanding.

Not watched it yet - but did you consider "transposons"? Those are not even viruses... rogue DNA sequences. They still move around genome, by cutting and pasting, sometimes messing up a working gene in the process. In fact - I find hypermutation regions of B cell genome the most interesting, the sequences are randomised without even cell dividing, it happens in the actual living cell. It is allowed to randomise portion of its genome to produce novel parts of an antibody.

This is a really interesting one! I find the field of medicine / biology / biochemistry riveting. There is also a moral conundrum: are viruses alive (scientists are divided on that) and if so, would it be moral to completely wipe them out if they aren't actively harmful to us?

​@@LophiusAiam In all honesty, reading back my comment I do see how it might sound woke. There's actually a very non-woke SF book debating the same question (Speaker for the Dead - Orson Scott Card). We can't make our minds up whether viruses are alive or not, but let's take a different example, to put things into perspective: what if someone decided that all fungi should be wiped out. We are not talking about the population on a continent, nor a species, nor a genus but . As with the viruses, it would only save lives in the short run and damn the whole planet for the long run. I think it a moral conundrum, even if only for the magnitude of the act of ending so much life. But anyway, I see your point, I hope you might see mine too.

"Hey, Thoughty2 here..." Always a sure start of a great content and fun learning and I'm thankful for that.
