Piotr Witczak commented on the proposal by the president of the Enel-Med medical center to raise the health insurance contribution for unvaccinated individuals. He asked whether the president had credible scientific evidence that vaccinated individuals were generally healthier and had a lower mortality rate from any cause. Witczak claimed that he was aware of evidence indicating the opposite correlation. He cited data showing that after ten years of observation, at least one chronic condition was found in 57% of vaccinated individuals and 17% of unvaccinated individuals. He also referred to several studies that suggested better health status among unvaccinated individuals. https://t.co/CwSuhy5Io8 https://t.co/KrhHGVeqSY #szczepienia #zdrowie #nauka (translated)

DWUKADENCYJNOŚĆ WŁODARZY - TAK, PARLAMENTARZYSTÓW - NIE Ograniczenie liczby kadencji to legislacyjna ingerencja w demokrację. Sens wprowadzenia tych ograniczeń wynika z przekonania, że zwykłe mechanizmy wyborcze nie działają dostateczne skutecznie. W odniesieniu do funkcji wójtów, burmistrzów i prezydentów miast mamy do czynienia z bezprecedensową kumulacją władzy. Każdy kto zdążył się zorientować jak działają polskie gminy i miasta, bez trudu zauważył, że społeczna kontrola nad działaniami lokalnego organu wykonawczego jest iluzoryczna. Że rady, które teoretycznie miały być nadrzędnym organem, w praktyce są reaktywne i bardzo często ubezwłasnowolnione. Taka nierównowaga władzy powoduje, że wójt, burmistrz, czy prezydent ma wszelkie możliwości manipulowania opinią publiczną. Ma uprzywilejowaną pozycję w przekazywaniu informacji. Może uzależniać od siebie znaczące grupy wyborców. Krótko mówiąc, proces wyborczy nie jest w pełni demokratyczny. Wymaga to więc legislacyjnej ingerencji, by zwiększyć szanse wpływu wyborców na zarządzanie wspólnymi sprawami. Takiego zakresu kumulacji władzy nie obserwujemy w żadnej ze struktur polskiego państwa. Mamy oczywiście do czynienia z wieloletnim okupowaniem tych samych pozycji przez różne osoby, co budzi irytację wielu obywateli. Nie ma jednak przesłanek do twierdzenia, że przepisy i procedury zaburzają tu wolność procesu wyborczego. Możliwości radnych, czy parlamentarzystów do manipulowania opinią publiczną są bardzo ograniczone, a w żaden sposób nie porównywalne do uprawnień „włodarzy” polskich miast i gmin. Wyborcy nie mogą się skarżyć, że winę, za nieakceptowany przez nich stan rzeczy ponosi ktoś inny, niż oni sami. Legislatorzy powinni zaś skupić się nad większą demokratyzacją procesu wyborczego, nad rzetelnością informacji, nad większą reprezentatywnością ordynacji wyborczej itp.

Arkadikuss wrote that numerous studies from academies and research teams indicated that games—even violent ones—did not influence actual aggression. He referenced the position of the American Psychological Association, which stated that there was insufficient evidence for a causal link between violent games and serious violence, although the organization recognized a slight connection with some aggressive behaviors. He also pointed to a study published in "Royal Society Open Science" in 2020, involving 28 trials and about 21,000 young people, which found no convincing evidence of a significant long-term impact of violent games on aggression, as well as a study from 2024, described as "Internet & society," involving over 3,000 teenagers observed in four waves. As he wrote, it did not demonstrate that games caused "desensitization" leading to an increase in aggression. The author also addressed the view attributed to Dave Grossman, author of the book "On Killing," that games and media might amplify behaviors of individuals with psychopathic or sociopathic tendencies and also shape similar behaviors in others. Arkadikuss considered this argument doubtful and wrote that a person attacking someone under the influence of a game or film should not be described as "normal." He added that, in his opinion, television, journalism, and journalists could be identified as greater sources of aggression than games. Writing about Roblox, Arkadikuss acknowledged that the platform has shortcomings but assessed that the arguments against it are also weak. He claimed that the issue is not the games themselves but rather the people who may behave improperly in various places. He compared blaming games to banning knives in schools due to the threat they may pose and advocated for parental control instead of placing all responsibility on the games. #gry #agresja #badania (translated)

Mandark wrote that some people were still defending themselves against the uncomfortable truth about Yandex. He claimed that the bots did not disappear because they were created, among other things, on X and were still operational there, but they lost contact with their database. According to him, the database had problems with analytics, was not receiving information about posts from influential people, and did not index current events or trends. He added that without a feed, the bots did not have access to that information. #Yandex #analityka #boty (translated)
