I know this might be unrelated, so just a guess, but would people who are doing weekly injections, maybe bi-weekly or daily, also be more prone to take the flu shot and generally be medically more active, due to their inclination of trying to improve their weight/sugar levels using a medical injection. The article also mentions that this only proves correlation and not causation, which is hats off to gizmodo, but can be interesting if causation is proven in a future study
The story is way more insane, the Greek messenger, Pheidippides, did two runs, a round trip from Athens to Sparta and back, like 480km through mountains in two days, then (during the battle of Marathon) his final run from Marathon to Athens (40km), the one he is famous for, saying "Nike! " meaning Greek “we won!” before collapsing and dying.
I think this is a more general question to my question, what factors make a war grab public attention. I think some people helped me nail some of the aspects, configuration of ideology, beliefs, being able to determine good guys and bad guys easily, does it affect them directly (oil prices I think are affecting everyone for example), and being proximate, for example Ukraine being on the doorstep of western Europe.
But it makes me wonder, is it morally wrong not to know or care about other conflicts, as stated attention spans are limited, is it wrong when mentioning one conflict to say what about another. I think this just came out of curiosity because I feel fatigued (looks like my short attention span) regarding the three “S-tiered” conflicts on most media and social media, and wondering if other conflicts are not also worth my attention, and then I asked why there was not more news on other conflicts and then basically my question.
Sorry feels like a brain dump
