Did you know that male dogs that get neutered have a much lower chance of getting testicular cancer than dogs that remain in tact?

[@KnowArt]

Much surprise such wow

[@jake-rg3fd]

Humans that take anti androgens (e.g. finasteride, which stops hair loss by suppressing DHT) are much less likely to get prostate cancer. Interestingly though, because their prostate shrinks it makes cancer harder to spot, so when they *do* get prostate cancer it typically has a worse outcome.

That's not all, if women amputate their breasts they have a lower chance of getting breast cancer than women who don't.

A fairly good analogy for globalism

Also turning the flags is a very nice touch!

[@ThuNguyen-jy2jt]

This whole video’s arguments are premised on the presumption that energy independence leads to less trade. Which is not correct. At all. Not only do countries still have countless other areas to trade in, they may still engage in energy trade in some specific areas.
And then it goes on to cite the principle of “comparative advantage” to justify how “trade is great” and makes no further attempt to return to the topic of energy independence. This is a massive massive oversimplification, once again based on presumptions. You would need perfect competition, no (dis)economies of scale, no inequitable distribution, no trade barriers or tariffs, and countless other variables in order to be “great.”
And no. Sanctions don’t always lead to peace. As we have seen.
Please remember that everything is very nuanced, ESPECIALLY ECONOMICS. Don’t believe everything an opinionated internet video tells you.

This video is good (for a video with less than 2 minutes) and this comment is great. Thanks for complementing. Of course, if we dive in specific current geopolitics we can get deeper and deeper, debating what sanctions are actualy used for and who benefits more when there are less energy independent countries out there,

[@alfastur6833]

Sanctions can help to prevent wars but don't stop the ones started. Putin reliefd on a quick victory with barely sanctions. For that reason he didn't care to have a great deal of the country's wealth fund in Western banks that got frozen. If he knew what was coming he would do differently -- the same that China is doing with Taiwan right now.
