HIV/AIDS

heard on a radio program the other night about the release of a new documentary about how what we knew and were taught about HIV and AIDS was completly wrong and even has the backing by the man who discovered HIV. I missed the Boston Premiere, but it's only being shown at film festivals right now. here's the trailer.



which got me thinking that i only knew what everyone else had known and considered it fact. so i went on the hunt for some other information in doc form, to listen/watch while i drew.

this movie is nearly ten years old, but it had some information that i found interesting about how no one will come out and say what HIV is because of the huge earning potential it has. for humankind killers it ranks number 17 behind heart disease, diabetes, but has 20 times the earning power and funding for research.

i suppose i should preface all of this that i don't take all these videos as fact, nor believe everything anyone says. i enjoy the fact that these questions are being asked and still have tons of research to do before i can come to a definitive conclusion on anything. it's the internet. i barely know how to cook for myself.

What We Still Don't Know

enjoyed this one. The Game of Life and the case for the Multiverse in lieu of an intelligent designer was awesome.

so since i never really have the time or the drive to blog, i think i know what to do with this one. my career being what it is, i watch/listen to many documentaries and lectures on scientific and spiritual subjects. i forward these off to my friends in the hope that once in a while they may take a look and i can discuss these things with them, but 99% of the time the emails go unanswered, and when asked about it weeks later "yeah uh i didnt watch it, it was too long dude"

so i want to collect a lot of these. just so i can revisit some of them at a later date, or even point them out to people so i'm not just sending off emails to be put in the "i dont care" folder.

mad i'm starting this so late, but then again, it'll give me a reason to rewatch some of these! WOOOO!!!!!!
