Last month during ESPN’s hit documentary series The Last Dance, State Farm debuted a TV commercial that has become one of the most widely discussed ads in recent memory. It appeared to show footage from 1998 of an ESPN analyst making shockingly accurate predictions about the year 2020.
As it turned out, the clip was not genuine: it was generated using cutting-edge AI. The commercial surprised, amused and delighted viewers.
What viewers should have felt, though, was deep concern.
The State Farm ad was a benign example of an important and dangerous new phenomenon in AI: deepfakes. Deepfake technology enables anyone with a computer and an Internet connection to create realistic-looking photos and videos of people saying and doing things that they did not actually say or do.
(Tom: I am not suggesting the video that started the riots in the US was a deep fake but one does not have to think far to foresee the chaos potential there.)
Scientists are slowly waking up to an inconvenient truth – the universe looks suspiciously like a fix. The issue concerns the very laws of nature themselves. For 40 years, physicists and cosmologists have been quietly collecting examples of all too convenient “coincidences” and special features in the underlying laws of the universe that seem to be necessary in order for life, and hence conscious beings, to exist. Change any one of them and the consequences would be lethal. Fred Hoyle, the distinguished cosmologist, once said it was as if “a super-intellect has monkeyed with physics…………… Like Baby Bear’s porridge in the story of Goldilocks, the universe seems to be just right for life – Paul Davies
(Tom: For those who often read my posts you will be familiar with my respect for vitamin D and the effect it has on many functions on the body. In fact, the more you have of it, the lower the rates of many cancers. Well here is some more data on it from a newsletter. There is also an interesting video accessible via the link. Oh. And make sure if you get a blood test done you include D3 as one of the important markers of immune health. And include a CRP (C-Reactive Protein) test as a level of inflammation in the body.)
Our body derives it from exposure to the sun: it is therefore probable that, after more than two months of quarantine, in many people the concentration in the blood of vitamin D is below the recommended value of at least 30 ng / ml. Unhappy hypothesis, considering that it is considered one of the main allies of well-being. What are its main characteristics, and what are the signs of a shortage? “Vitamin D is a fundamental hormonal precursor for many biological functions”, explains Stefano Manera, specialist in Anesthesia and Resuscitation, expert in integrated medicine, nutrition and homeopathy.
“Apart from the summer, when you just have to expose yourself for 20 minutes in the sun, even with bare legs and arms, to allow our body to produce vitamin D, in the rest of the months of the year it is very difficult to have good levels. Unfortunately, it is not enough to do outdoor activities, to be exposed on sunny days and to eat fatty foods – such as salmon, some dairy products or egg yolk – or those to which vitamin D has been added. A deficiency can cause various pathologies, including a depletion of the immune system: in fact, frequently, patients who get sick more or develop more important symptoms have very low levels of this vitamin”, adds Manera, who during the Covid emergency – 19 was on the field at the Papa Giovanni XXIII Hospital in Bergamo in the Therapy ward Intensive.

Do not for one moment think the FDA in the US or our local equivalent have your best health in mind. They are just covert extensions of the drug company suppression of what they regard as competition. Well nourished and healthy people are not good drug customers! Dead bodies and healthy people are not their best prospects. Chronically sick people are. Don’t be a good prospect for the drug companies. Nourish your bosy with good food and supplements, sleep well, exercise, reduce stress and look for ways to enjoy yourself and have fun!
