RE: Cliff High on Current Pandemic

in #life5 years ago

I would take everything Clif says with a grain of salt. He is quite superstitious and it clouds his judgement sometimes. I followed him for a while due to his crypto projections but stopped when he started talking about aliens being found in Antarctica. He pointed out a mountain poking out of the plain claiming that it couldn't be natural and that it was a pyramid built by aliens (this is all on Twitter btw). I looked at the map and found that it was an underwater mountain with only the crest sticking out and that the plain in question was just ice. When I presented the evidence he doubled down on his assertion. I was kind of on the fence about him before that but decided to stop listening to him when he did that. Seems like a bit of a kook to me.

That said, he still has a lot of good things to say and he's very intelligent. I just find it to be a chore having to sift through and vet everything someone says. The above example isn't the only one, it's just the most glaring that I encountered personally. There's also the time he predicted $100k BTC by the end of 2018 (around the new year that year) using his proprietary software and then kind of disappeared from the discourse on that for a while after crypto wholesale tanked in the following months.

Sort:  

As I haven't followed him, I was unaware of any of that. Does seem kooky, but while he's eccentric on this video, and I agree completely that the specifics of his speculations need to be verified before relying on them, his reflections on them seem highly rational and potentially useful.

It's clear that it will require extraordinary steps to keep from catching SARS2, and there are disturbing reports of a wide variety of exacerbating and extended mechanisms of attack this virus exhibits, and this strongly lends support to the theory that this virus is a bioweapon, or at least has been bioengineered via gain of function research.

All of that gives credence to his alarm and dismay. He may be kooky but I have no doubt he's thought long and hard on this, and is sincere. I am responsible enough to verify alarming claims before acting on them. On the other hand, I sure as hell want to be alarmed early rather than late, and this seems like damn good reason for alarm.
