Necklaces worn to 'protect' against 5G are radioactive experts warn (opens in new tab)

And then someone, who is willing to bend ethics to get what they want, worked on that idea and messed up our world.

For $500 I have a necklace that will cure you of those ethics and protect you from 5G!

i try to convince everyone with a scammy idea to think twice, simply by asking how they would feel if someone else had tried that same scam on their mom/dad/grandparents, and what they would do to the scammer

another trick is "how would your mother feel if she knew you make money by scamming", but thats a bit more pointed and reserved for actual friends since it can lead to a fight

the few % who would actually scam their own mother, bless them. i'm just happy the total number of scammers to people is still <5% ish :)

evolutionary fitness is about a population's ability to survive in perpetuity, not an individual. its a different context of the word "fittest". fitness here means odds of sexual reproduction, and so since a necklace with ionizing radiation will not prevent a wearer with low cognitive abilities and gullibility from creating viable offspring with the same genes before the cancer breaks through, it therefore has nothing to do with evolutionary fitness.

it is more likely that we select for these traits because we can't stand being around mates that are grounded in reality (or that those mates won't reproduce due other factors like ensuring not to)
