Dunning-Kruger Effect.
The Dunning-Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people wrongly overestimate their knowledge or ability in a specific area. This tends to occur because a lack of self-awareness prevents them from accurately assessing their own skills.

As I mentioned in a previous post, and as the people mention in your quotes, there are not enough people vaxd to prevent mutation. And since that is not even a serious goal of the international community, it will never be achieved. So we have a bunch of selfiish countries that implement policies that will kill their own citizens in the future and that will require buy-in to a never ending cycle of annual vaccines. Do you think that is a satisfactory outcome? I would rather learn to live with the virus, as millions and millions of people already have, myself included, no doubt.

But the issue is with the politics around world health. You can vax 100% of people in USA but if you ignore than 7 billion people living elsewhere, you cannot eradicate a virus unless you vax everyone at the same time. This is not even a goal of the rich countries. They just want to make money from the patents. So the virus will mutate and the vax will no longer work, and the political decisions will come back and bite the rich countries in the arse. All I can see is a future of constant border / restrictions / annual vaxxes for the rich and death for the poor. That's not a utopia I am willing to buy in to.
I am also anti-vivisection, which is smthg no one even considers. Plus I follow a healthy diet, thus giving me 73% extra protection according to studies. That's almost as good as a vax! Haha.

Posts: 102Taxi price
Just a friendly reminder to everyone. Medellin to the airport should cost 80 mil pesos. I got a taxi from new life to the airport and the taxi driver recognized me from new life. About 5 minutes into the ride he starts talking about tolls. He tries to tell me it costs more to go to the airport than come from it, and a bunch of other lies. He asks me for 100 mil pesos plus 25 each way for toll. I called him out and said every time I'm here they charge me 80 mil and there's a freaking sign in every taxi to never pay more than 80 mil pesos without paying toll. I notice there's no sign in his taxi. I ask to get out immediately. Then he tells me he works at new life and he always sees me take up multiple girls and he is talking about pesos not dollars. I visit new life regularly and make visits to Medellin regularly. I know if he works at new life he is very new. I call him out on his shit again and offer him 100 mil pesos because I usually tip a lot more for taxis to and from the airport. He accepts but keeps talking and I just ignore him on the rest of the ride.
I messaged new life about him and hopefully he got fired but just in case. He is a bald and speaks a decent amount of English. If he still works at new life watch out. He might try to charge a fake fees or some other scammy shit. Remember taxi rides to and from the airport are 80 mil pesos.
This is how prices creep up. Scams and people thinking they can get away with it. Then one day prices are the same as in the states. I regret offering him 100 mil pesos as he will think he can get away with more when he tries to scam people.

This is from the Journal of the American Medical Association https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...rticle/2777785.
"One reason SARS-CoV-2 is throwing out variants and will continue to do so is because relatively few people globally have been vaccinated, Norman Baylor, PhD, a former director of the FDA's Office of Vaccines Research and Review, noted in an interview. "This virus is like, 'Yep, I've got plenty of people I can infect, and the more I replicate, the more I can mutate, Baylor said. ".

Almost seems like your bragging about not being vaccinated, going with multiple women in numerous Countries, yet not getting infected, at least yet.
I wouldn't advise anyone to come to Colombia that hasn't been vaccinated.
And nobody knows, including JB2 where he got infected as he reported.

Posts: 3802Who The Hell Is Pulling All These Girls
Since I've been diagnosed on this board with Dunning Krueger syndrome, along with others, I'm having difficulty comprehending what I have been observing over the last four days being at ground zero most days from about 10 AM until 7 PM. Before the arrival of the Venezuelans, there were few if any girls out working in the mornings, now there's quite a few out at 10 AM, and primarily Venezuelans.
On Tuesday I went with one of my new spinners, a Colombiana, who has only been working for three months in El Centro. Compared to all the other girls working the streets I would peg her at in the lower bracket of the upper third of Chicas beauty wise working the streets, when I took her, she was happy, but very sad telling me how hard it was to get clients, and how the Venezuelans where driving the prices down. She also said that she has noticed a large increase in the amount of girls working over the last three months which has also been noticed by others as evidenced by the herds and groupies of girls, primarily the Venezuelans.
On Wednesday at 5 PM there were lots of girls out, so I decided to closely observe which girls were getting pulled, and whom was pulling them. So of course I observed the hotter Chicas getting pulled, and the "pullers" where primarily guys over forty. There are so many girls out working, and what would also appear to be an equal amount of loser boyfriends out as well. I see so many of these girls walking around with their loser boyfriends.
It's obvious that there are no guys the same ages as the girls working pulling them, but only older guys, yet the percentage of older guys physically out on the streets seems to be very low.
I've also noticed an increased degree of desperation with the girls working the streets, more so than months ago, and before the Pandemic, and the lower tier girls are struggling due to the invasion of the Venezuelans.
So perhaps others here have a "take" on El Centro, and perhaps can better articulate what I am observing, as it just is getting more and more packed with girls, and mongers as well, but not in the same proportion. It's mind boggling with so many available, and seems that a lot of prettier ones have been showing up lately compared to six months ago. I used to comment on all the Venezuelan beached whales I would observe, and now that has changed as well.
So I'm curious what others think about what I have been observing.

Plenty of people are quick to push vax as if its a solution. Many push it as if its the only solution. And many criticise and insult others who have not caved in to the mainstream vax solution. But if you consider the long term outcome in trying to vax against a virus that rapidly mutates, and the disgusting patent laws that are condemning hundreds of thousands of people to death around the world. I must say its not a solution that I want to support, without even considering my own moral resistance to vivisection.

Posts: 882How am I selfish and entitled for not getting the vaccine? Currently, there are only so many to go around (not enough). For now I choose to let another have my dose and I will get mine later. So in reality I may save another life and thus I am a super hero. Many health care professionals are scared to get the vaccine. That should make you wonder why.
Some perspective:
Global freezing in the 1970's. Yeah, go look it up. Global heating in the 2020's. 50 years is a mere nanosecond in perspective of the planet's life time. But I agree with it if you simple consider how much of the planet we build and pave over every minute of the day. Remember AIDS in the 1980's? Based on all the scientific data half the planet was going to die. Hmmm. That did not happen.
