Suggests that the majority of Covid deaths were caused by Midazolam injections and that were it not for this there would have been little evidence for lethality of the virus and no pandemic.  See  Excess Deaths in the United Kingdom: Midazolam and Euthanasia in the COVID-19 Pandemic :  A major finding of this paper is that the very high excess deaths in 2020 in the UK were due to Midazolam intervention rather than SARS-CoV-2 infections, demonstrating the unreliability of COVID data as evidence of a SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, which was denied the status of a “High Consequence Infectious Disease” by UK Health Security Agency in March 2020.Any claim that COVID vaccination saved lives has little merit, because few lives were threatened by the largely absent SARS-CoV-2 virus in the UK; the spike in so-called COVID deaths in 2020 was actually euthanasia deaths by Midazolam, which remains the dominant causal explanation of the pandemic, overwhelming other factors.

This is a really great discussion! See  Toby on Four Dimensional Existential Angst and Annaka Harris and Michel Bitbol on Consciousness as a Condition .  She considers whether consciousness can exist without content, and also suggests that being able to share direct experience is/would be a form of communication. My comment: 1:12:23 if that were the case then it would be a primitive instance of the kind of communication she refers to at 1:26:41 . The first two paragraphs of Book 1 of Aristotle's Physics : When the objects of an inquiry, in any department, have principles, conditions, or elements, it is through acquaintance with these that knowledge, that is to say scientific knowledge, is attained. For we do not think that we know a thing until we are acquainted with its primary conditions or first principles, and have carried our analysis as far as its simplest elements. Plainly therefore in the science of Nature, as in other branches of study, our first task will be to try...

It turns out you need to take in more than twice the recommended maximum daily intake, and more than ten times the UK recommended daily allowance.
