This is a YouTube video titled "The Role of the Media in Our Health | Calley Means x Dave Asprey" featuring a monologue by Calley Means discussing the impact of media on public health narratives, corporate influence on research, and societal consequences. The content critiques how media serves elite interests rather than investigating important health issues. The video was created in March 2024.
The greatest propeller of human prosperity is that we found out how to talk, how to hash out the ideas. We realized there's no just set truth. And that has prevented wars, that's prevented an uninterrupted slog of lack of freedom and destitution which has defined human life until the past, you know, sliver of time. And there is absolutely a coordinated assault on that, on. And let me just explain a little bit more how that works. You had the media designed by the founders and for a lot of history as kind of a referee, as kind of an investigator. The media is nothing more than now a referee for the status quo. They're a corporatist, right? They're not examining why 33% of kids have prediabetes. They are calling anyone basically a criminal for questioning pharmaceutical interventions. They are now literally saying it's anti science to say that Ozempic isn't, shouldn't be the right choice for 12 year olds. This is how it works, right? The industries, the elite industries, they fund the research and then the research has the seal of Harvard or the seal of the NIH on it. It says for instance, that lucky charms are healthier than beef. You're listening to the human upgrade with Dave Asprey.
