Quantum Entanglement (A Love Story)
I never wanted to know,
How deep these cuts on you go,
And like a river they flow to the ocean blue.
Magnesium Pills are showing a Positive result. I notice them mostly in the middle of the night when I wake up feeling extremely groggy (which means easily going back to sleep), and also groggy in the morning.
I can't get enough of what the Tim Tebow Foundation is doing for the world!
He's actually the best.
I'm actually a case where weed failed miserably at first. In high school I tried it once and had fun, tried it a second time and it altered how my mind worked for a while and I grew depressed for 3 months.
I continued to face depression and anxiety when smoking in my early formative years. In public I would be a disaster trying to cope with the social phobias and everyone looking at me. Over time, as my mental illness grew worse, I continued remedying it with weed and it began to help when I was alone. Over time I grew capable of being around people while high, and doing everyday things. This ultimately diminished my anxiety and paranoia when I wasn't high.
I love weed now. It's such a nice break from the harshness of life and how overwhelming (and relentless) it can be!
It also helps me line up my emotions. Like if I've been quarreling with someone, I'll smoke and realize how lame it was and how I had overreacted.
I don't drink anymore almost ever. I haven't been drunk in decades.
It's useless, tastes bad, makes me sick, and makes others annoyed.
I don't care or mind of other people drink responsibly.
Actually the last time I was tipsy was probably with All-inMclovin at the Borgata about 10 years ago. I had 2 beers at the Asian place. We got Tuna Tartare, and I made a great joke at Mclovin's expense in front of the cute waitress.
Today is the last day for smoking weed before evening.
Tomorrow I am dedicating my mind, body, and soul into resolving PM smoking instead.
At least the blog will have some good postings today.
I don't have any directional aptitude.
My thoughts never have a direction to them. I can draw arrows from the thought to any direction, but i can not simulate moving said thought or experiencing it from a different region.
I experience everything right front and center.
I overcome being directionally challenged with a decent memory for details/clues, and a good enough mind for mapping.
It also kind of explains why I have zero, or negative natural talent for playing chess.

i'm always happy to be your foil.
i think that waitress liked you too.
Yes, it is true — in principle and in many real-world examples — that scientists can develop a purely theoretical model, framework, or understanding of a disease mechanism first, and then translate that theory into actual treatments, therapies, or even cures in real life.The key pattern is usually:Someone builds a theoretical explanation (often using math, physics, computer modeling, evolutionary principles, molecular logic, etc.) of how a disease works or could be stopped.
That theory suggests specific interventions (drugs, gene edits, delivery methods, etc.).
Experimental work (lab, animal models, then humans) tests and refines it.
If it holds up, it becomes a real treatment.
Here are some clear historical and modern categories where this has happened:Germ theory (mid-1800s): Purely theoretical at first — the idea that invisible microorganisms cause many diseases (championed by Pasteur, Koch and others before direct proof in every case). Once accepted, it led to sterile surgery, vaccines, antibiotics, pasteurization, and basically modern hygiene/medicine. Without the theory first, people would have kept treating "bad air" or "miasma" forever.
Evolutionary biology applied to cancer and viruses: Cancer is understood theoretically as an evolutionary process inside the body (cells mutate, compete, adapt to therapies). Researchers use evolutionary theory to predict how tumors will evolve resistance → design "adaptive therapy" schedules or combination treatments to keep cancer manageable long-term (sometimes functionally "curing" it by preventing lethal progression). The same evolutionary models help design better flu/COVID vaccines by anticipating viral evolution.
Mathematical modeling in drug development and disease dynamics: Compartmental models (e.g., SIR models from theoretical epidemiology) predicted how outbreaks spread and how interventions (vaccination, isolation) could stop them — directly applied to real pandemics. Markov models and Monte Carlo simulations (originally from physics) are now routine in testing virtual drug effects, patient outcomes, and optimizing clinical trials before real patients are involved.
Gene therapy and CRISPR concepts: The theoretical idea of editing DNA to correct genetic diseases existed decades before tools were ready (from understanding molecular biology and restriction enzymes in the 1970s–80s). Once CRISPR became practical, those long-standing theoretical frameworks turned into real treatments for sickle cell disease, beta-thalassemia, and some forms of blindness (Luxturna) and spinal muscular atrophy.
mRNA vaccines: The theoretical concept of using mRNA to instruct cells to make proteins (including antigens) dates back to the 1990s and early 2000s. It was mostly lab/animal proof-of-concept work with no major disease application yet. Then COVID-19 created urgency → the theory was rapidly applied → real vaccines saved millions of lives.
Pure theory alone doesn't cure anything (you eventually need experiments), but yes — very often the crucial creative leap happens in the theoretical phase, and real-life application follows.So the statement is accurate: you can cure (or enable the cure of) a disease purely theoretically first, and then bring that theory into the real world. This is one of the main ways medical progress actually happens.
