  • Pharmaceutical Drugs: Inhibitors and the Nature of Disease

    We live in a time where there is much skepticism towards modern medicine. This stems purely from ignorance, however, and there are those who capitalize on this to sell an unbelievable array of alternative medicines that, almost without exception, do absolutely nothing. Let's take a look at the kinds of diseases that exist, what they are on the molecular level, and the scientific strategies available to combat them. We don't need to defend the pharmaceutical industry, but we definitely need to understand that the science behind pharmaceutical drugs is the only strategy available that truly addresses the cause of any medical condition in an informed way, and is therefore the only intelligent approach to treatment.

  • Illicit Drugs: How Do They Work?

    Drugs of all varieties are very interesting from a biochemical standpoint, as they produce an incredible array of physiological effects. These effects are due to the shape of each molecule, which determines the cellular components they interact with. Let's learn a bit about some of the common illicit drugs from an academic standpoint.

  • Graphing Parallel and Perpendicular Lines

    We're almost done with this first round of graphing now! We just have to learn about the relationships between parallel and perpendicular lines in terms of slope and other characteristics, so that we can more easily graph them, and write the equations for such lines using some nifty tricks. Opposite reciprocals, yo!

  • Peter McCullough, Nicolas Hulscher, and the Rise of Predatory Journals

    Use code professordave at https://incogni.com/professordave to get an exclusive 60% off.

    Of all the frauds out there spreading disinformation about vaccines and related topics, few are as morally bankrupt as Peter McCullough and his crew. Once a real cardiologist, he pivoted to grifting at the start of the pandemic, and now spends all of his time cobbling together fake research fabricating apocalyptic dangers for vaccines that will terrify the public and drive them over to his supplement-peddling business, the Wellness Company. We will also go over his douchebag henchmen Nic Hulscher, Kevin McKernan, John Catanzaro, as well as familiar faces like Bobby Kennedy and Andrew Wakefield. Here comes the clown show.

  • Jay Dyer and Jimbob are Spiraling

    Jay Dyer and Jimbob are having a really tough time with the whole internet making fun of them for being the dumbest people alive. And they are eager to make everything much worse for themselves! After mocking Jay's pathetic response to my reaction video humiliating them, and then Jimbob begging to debate me which resulted in even further humiliation, they've been desperately logging six-hour livestreams spewing the most transparent damage control imaginable. Let's see what pathetic antics they've been performing, shall we?
