do you have any spicy hot takes you wanna drop 👀👀?? i will drop one as well, i think that everyone got carried away with the whole sympathetic and unsympathetic stuff -💫

okay so i read the first sentence and i was like ‘fuck yes time to talk about the sympathetic/unsympathetic thing’ and then i read the rest of it and yeah okay so we’re on the same page here. i have a feeling this is going to get extensive so if you don’t want to hear me complaining about stuff that you may or may not like don’t go reading under the cut. Also it's not going to be very coherent

disclaimer: i am not trying to police the fandom or trying to tell anyone that they can’t write stuff. i do my best to stay in my lane and read/consume content that i want to. these are just. feelings i have.

so on the one hand i sort of understand where the whole concept sprung from. it’s hard to write interesting longform stories without a villain of some sort, it’s not as if there’s all that many characters in the first place, and sometimes using the Dragon Witch doesn’t quite cut it. and honestly if you take away the whole ‘they’re all part of the same person’ thing it would’ve been pretty easy to assume that Deceit was the bad guy when he first showed up. he went the whole ‘ominous smirking, evil laughter’ route because he’s a dramatic little bastard, and some people were like 'my son, I love him' and others went 'evil man! Evil! He's planning bad things' and on a purely mechanical level having tags that distinguish people who think a character is good vs people who think a character is evil is a good thing, it helps you distinguish content you want to look at from the content that you don't!

HOWEVER. I think the idea of characters being 'sympathetic' or 'unsympathetic' in the way that this fandom uses those terms is innately flawed. It's black-and-white thinking and it veers close to the whole puritan thing that tumblr is so fond of. And in most cases 'unsympathetic' is just an excuse to write characters as toxic, abusive, and just downright cruel without having to explain yourself. Which is. Hm. And also just lazy writing.

This bit might be tmi but: Patton actually used to be my favorite Sanders Sides character. But back when i initially got into the fandom, I hadn't quite worked out how to filter the content I looked through yet, and I just kept seeing this... constant stream of stuff involving him being abusive to the others in a way that was hm how shall i say this. Uncomfortably familiar. especially with a lot of religious guilt themes. It's not anyone's fault, precisely, but it did tinge a lot of my fandom experience, and it maaaay be why i'm not great at writing him. Doesn't matter. The point is... There wasn't a point. I'm just still bitter about that and wanted to mention it. Maybe i'm angrier about this than i thought i was. Let's not talk about that. Let's move on with this discussion.

You'll notice that i used Janus as an example up there at the top. I can't be sure (and actually it grimly fascinates me so if anybody who's been around here longer than I have has any info on this send it over, I'd love to know) but I think that Deceit's appearance in CLBG may have marked the beginning of this whole unsympathetic/sympathetic split in the fandom. It seems a safe enough bet, anyway, especially since the earliest example I can find of any fic being tagged 'unsympathetic' in the AO3 archive is from 4th February 2018, literally the day after CLBG went up. (damn, guys, moving fast).

The first occurrences of the 'sympathetic' tag crop up about a month later. Tumblr is impossible to search so I don't know if there was any discussion about terms, or if it was just a kind of snowball effect with people seeing the tags and tagging their own fics as appropriate (and this is a fascinating phenomena in itself!) but either way - i have absolutely no idea what happened to make people go from 'we're divided on whether this character who presents himself a villain is actually doing bad and detrimental things to the other sides/thomas/the world as a whole/innocent puppies' to 'hang on what if the other sides were kicking puppies also?'

So now this has turned from a rant about terminology into me being genuinely curious about this whole thing. I will put the rant on pause while I go scour AO3 to see when the first occurrences of the tags popped up. Please hold.

Okay. I'm going to ignore the unsympathetic tags for anyone who's not a side because i don't hate myself nearly that much (but uh for the record. There is a part of this fandom that thinks the LITERAL CONCEPT OF SLEEP IS EVIL and i'm not sure if i should be impressed or horrified. What? What???)

All of these numbers are up-to-date as of 17/06/2020, which is when I'm posting this. I'm probably not going to update that, so keep that in mind if you're reading this in the future.

In order of chronological appearance:

Unsympathetic Janus ('Deceit' at the time, of course) - first appears 12 March 2018, 191 works Unsympathetic Roman - first appears 10 February 2019, 102 works Unsympathetic Logan - first appears 24 June 2019, 59 works Unsympathetic Patton - first appears 2 July 2019, 228 works Unsympathetic Remus - first appears 17 July, 2019, 121 works Unsympathetic Virgil - first appears 31 July 2019, 71 works

...I genuinely don't know what I expected.

The fandom was much slower to spark with Unsympathetic Remus content after he first showed up, which is kind of interesting. Unless they just didn't bother to tag it? Like, I'm working with the assumption that everyone's tagging all of their content, which might not always be the case

I thought there'd be so much more Janus and Remus-tagged fics than there actually are.

It does not surprise me that Patton has the most in this category. It makes me sad but it doesn't surprise me. Why are you guys so intent on making him evil

And on the opposite side of the sympathy spectrum (similarly chronological):

Sympathetic Janus - first appears 7 March 2018, 1920 works Sympathetic Remus - first appears 2 July 2019, 965 works Sympathetic Patton - first appears 31 July 2019, 71 works Sympathetic Virgil - first appears 1 August 2019, 69 works (nice) Sympathetic Logan - first appears 8 August 2019, 41 works Sympathetic Roman - first appears 20 August, 56 works

It's actually wild that 'Sympathetic [Janus]' seems to have appeared several days between Unsympathetic Jan made any appearance.

There were several Remus fics that were backtagged to before DWIT was released. I ignored them because it was throwing this off a bit. there may be other problems to this effect in any of the other stats, but i’m too lazy to go back and check those all one-by-one

Sympathetic tags in general seem to be used as, hm, there's a word here i can't quite think of. Basically, 'Sympathetic' seems to be the default setting for characters like Virgil, Patton, Roman, Logan (the 'Light Sides', although i take issue with that terms as well. This isn't the time for that, though. Statistics!!) which 'Unsympathetic' used to be the default for Janus and Remus. That's become slightly more elastic of late, though. Basically if you're using the Sympathetic tag for anyone who's not a 'Dark Side' you're usually doing it to make a point of something. e.g. if you have other sides who aren't usually unsympathetic as such and you're trying to clarify that yes, these specific ones are Okay. Or if you're just being thorough. Anyway that's why LAMP seem to have less works tagged as Symp than the other two.

All the sympathetic tags for non-Janus characters seem to have sprung up in quick succession over a short period of months! I have no idea what this means but it's strange and cool to look at

If you're wondering about the discrepancy between this information and my earlier note that the first appearance of 'unsympathetic' as an AO3 tag was the day after CLBG came out - that fic in question had a general 'unsympathetic dark sides' tag, no specific tags mentioned.

Okay statistics segue over. The only point of that apart from scientific curiosity was to try to puzzle out where the fuck this all stemmed from. I still have no answers.

I need you all to understand that 'Sympathetic' no longer looks like a real word to me.

So. Remember how i mentioned how this fandom managed to make unsympathetic!Remy/Sleep a thing? Yeah. That baffles me. I haven't seen unsympathetic Dr Picani anywhere yet but I know it's only a matter of time and that lowkey horrifies me. But that's not really the most baffling thing because, uh

Well. earlier this week I accidentally stumbled into a corner of tumblr that's dedicated to unsympathetic character Thomas content. If you're a fan of that, i'd advise you to click away from this post now because i'm about to get very angry about that and i don't want to make you upset. Thank you.

What the fuck. literally all of the posts in this corner of tumblr are about c!thomas abusing the sides and being a terrible person??? ??????? ????? WHAT? can we just take a step back and. WHY? WHY are you doing this? Are we watching the same show? from a psychological standpoint, that's self-abuse and self-harm and i suppose it might be interesting if you explored it as such but APPARENTLY NO. apparently that's not what this is about. This is just about writing about someone being abusive to other people for the sake of it. there were so many posts about him 'abusing the sides by telling them they're not real people' and. OKAY so a) he wouldn't do that b) THEY AREN'T. THEY LITERALLY AREN'T REAL PEOPLE WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT

[deep breath]

so actually i think that kind of leads me back to the point of this whole thing. I had a point, what? It surprises me too, don't worry. The point is (roughly) that writing characters as 'unsympathetic' isn't something that i have an objection to at all. Everybody has the capacity to be cruel! Nobody's perfect!! But with the sympathetic/un labels it seems to enforce this strict dichotomy of good vs bad. Either Logan is an abusive monster OR he's a perfect angel. Guys. That's not how it works. And it's not INTERESTING if you do that sort of thing because then you've got people being unnecessarily cruel and evil for the sake of it. They turn into 2-dimensional caricatures that only exist to be bad people.

People make mistakes! I write about characters making mistakes all the time! Janus and Remus pulling the whole trolley problem thing in Pick A Side definitely wasn't a great thing for them to do, but I didn't tag them as unsympathetic at the time and i have no plan to do so because i don't want to write them as two-dimensional caricatures who are only capable of one of two settings on the morality meter. (same goes for the next chapter, whenever that comes up but... let’s talk about that when i post it, maybe)That's boring. If you're going to take characters and make them into antagonists just because you can't think of anyone else to fit the role, and you're doing it by stripping away everything that makes them Them, then you might as well just stuff a paper bag with straw and cast a scarecrow as the villain instead because buddy. You're making a strawman. That's what you're doing. You can't have Patton without kindness and well-meaningness, just as you can't have Patton without the mistakes caused by those two things. Same goes for the other sides and their flaws and strengths.

And then there's the other thing that's definitely more specific to this fandom, which I think was best summarized with something i said in the comments section of Pick A Side with len at like ten minutes past midnight that one time:

(...) and not necessarily related to anything you said, but - this fandom is kind of unique in that... there's no actual bad guys or villains. (at least that's how i perceive it.) The Real Villain Is Your Poor Mental Health. people are always like 'unsympathetic deceit' or 'unsympathetic patton' and point to different points in the videos as evidence, ('i give you permission to think those thoughts' patton's being controlling - that's abuse) but like. it's all the same guy. he's giving himself permission. he's doing it to himself. imagine if we tagged other fandom characters with like 'Unsympathetic Harry Potter' when he was being mean or critical to himself. wild.

So yeah. In conclusion: obviously people should write what they like. If they see characters one way and they want to write about them being two-dimensional monsters that's fine. I kind of wish you'd put more thought into it and make it at least interesting if you're going to do that sort of thing, but you do you i guess.

That being said. If I see any more unsympathetic!Patton content I will start crying. i want to love Goofy Dad Man the same way i used to

7, 12, 22 for the writer’s ask

My brain short-circuited a little while ago and I’m struggling to English right now, so I apologize in advance if my responses aren’t very long or in-depth.

TL;DR (nearly 1,300 words) - Joey talks about personal experiences, things he’s learned from writing, what he thinks about while writing, and you get a better sense of why he does what he does. And why he thinks the way he does

Questions to ask to a writer

7. tell us about one of your characters who’s an absolute joy to writeI’m going to be honest. No character is an absolute joy to write for unless you feel extremely motivated and passionate in the heat of the moment and are writing about them. I think way too hard about characterization and how to comfortably write them that no character is an absolute joy to write for. They’re all hard work and constantly shifting between canon wiki and reading fan interpretations to find a middle ground that I can walk on.

If anything, I love writing for pet characters or animal characters because they have no influence or little influence in the plot, so I can write them as however I want them to be. You have no idea how often I just want to write a random chicken into a scene because that chicken character is going to keep me entertained as I wrestle with voices, narratives, povs, and galore.

12. what’s your relationship with constructive criticism and feedback like? do you seek it out? how well do you take it?I think like any content creator, you just kind of seek out feedback because it gives you something to thrive on when you’re first starting out and because you’re desperate to know what you’re doing and what you’re doing wrong. For a long time, I had an unhealthy relationship with feedback. Moreso with constructive criticism because I was incredibly stubborn and emotionally-unstable. Pouring your heart and soul into a story and then knowing that someone didn’t like it had a detrimental effect on my perception of self, eventually spiraling out of control and leading to an identity crisis that made this Joey do some very stupid things when he was a younger peep.

It’s been three years since that identity crisis. I’m a lot more comfortable with myself, I’m more well-aware that my worth as a person is not tied if you like what I create or not, I have more self-assurance for myself and more self-love, and I’ve more or less accepted that I’m doing what I’m doing because I want to. When I was a younger man, I did whatever I could so that people would notice me. But now, I’ve realized something more important than trying to thrive off of internet fame or whatever Tumblr had instilled in me when I first came here back in…2014?

Looking back on it, the constructive criticism on my writing helped me quite a bit. Even though the delivery was harsh and could’ve been worded better, it made me a tougher writer and more adamant about doing research and outlining before I pursue long projects. And partially, perhaps out of spite or just in memory, I want to show those people how far I’ve come since that feedback and how much I’ve grown since then.

22. talk about a writing experience that has pleasantly surprised you.Not sure if a lot of y’all know this or not, but I’m a worldbuilder. I like the process of worldbuilding more than actually writing a story but unfortunately, you can’t post your worldbuilding notes onto AO3 and have people interested with that so I had to make a compromise somewhere. That’s why I gravitate towards the ideas and genres that I do. They get me thinking and thinking is 95% of the battle when you’re worldbuilding. Especially when you’re building a world from scratch, or making a small portion of a neighborhood come to life in a unique and versatile way.

One worldbuilding session that stands out to me the most and it happened quite recently, about two or three weeks ago, was when I was brainstorming an [alternative universe - different first meeting] scenario between Kunikida and Fukuzawa. The concept of the idea was what Fukuzawa had called a 15 y.o. Kunikida into his office after noticing that the youth was gifted with a special ability. During their meeting, Fukuzawa and Kunikida had a very interesting conversation about “abilities that are easy to hide.”

For instance, Fukuzawa’s ability [All Men Are Equal] doesn’t have a visible manifestation or presence. Unless you truly knew him, you would think that Fukuzawa was a normal individual. Likewise, Kunikida’s ability [Doppo Poet] is similar in that regard. Unless you truly knew Kunikida or unless he willingly outs himself by activating his ability, you would also think that he was a normal individual as well. That’s what it means to have an ability that’s easy to hide. You had the opportunity to live life without the likely repercussions and prejudice that other ability-users experienced just because your ability is more easily obscured to a certain or full extent.

What struck me about that conversation were the social implications of it and allowed me to worldbuild around this concept of how outside society views ability-users. From 15 y.o. Kunikida’s point of view, he’s scared of how society and the people who are closest to him would react if they found out he was an ability-user. What frightens him are the negative connotations, opinions, and the treatment that would be received if he were slapped with the “ability-user” label. And that’s what it feels like. It feels like a large neon sign is forever the first thing someone is going to look at and know about you, and people will judge you before knowing who you really are. Living under the assumption of a normal person, Kunikida knows that he could at least avoid that. However, he’s having to hide and be ashamed of a part of himself that has and will always be a part of him. Being an ability-user is something he can never change, but young Kunikida is afraid to embrace and accept that part of himself because the world around him won’t.

During that entire interaction, it got me thinking about the real world and even Tumblr to an interesting extent. About labels, about the self vs. society, about prejudice and first-based assumptions, about hiding yourself vs. letting it all out, and several other things. I feel that a good worldbuilding session should contribute to whatever story you’re trying to tell while also connecting back to the world we live in and bring to light things that people aren’t really comfortable talking about. If you can keep that statement in mind, you could potentially help a lot of people understand, relate, or figure out something that they had trouble with before.

I’d say that the pleasantly surprising part about this worldbuilding session was that I felt like I understood the BSD universe a little more. We rarely, if ever, get any information about the outside world views ability-users and what they do, so drawing inspiration and experience from real life into this concept made things clearer to see. And somehow, it made the idea feel more grounded because there is that real world aspect and fear that people can relate to or have experienced.

And I think what made the concept work really well was that Kunikida was young in this interaction. He was a teenager and when you’re a teenager, one of the things that’s on your mind is figuring out who you are and what you want people to know you as. There’s this craving for acceptance, even a rebellion against tradition or what people expect you to be or act, while also there’s this uncertainty if you’re actually doing the right thing. I don’t write for teenagers very often, but having a teenage!Kunikida to work with during this scene was a phenomenal experience. I felt like I knew him a lot better and he feels more approachable for me to write for.

COVID-19 x Trade-Offs

This article focuses on the numerous trade-offs we face today due to the Covid-19 pandemic. As usual, the article itself is concise and to the point, but I will leave references which can also be some sort of reading list for you. This time around, I also included some appendices for more detailed explanations of some parts.

TL;DR

The current situation is forcing doctors to make tough decisions which can be as difficult as deciding which patients will live and which patients will die. This can weigh heavy on the doctors who have to do this a lot on a daily basis.

If you were wondering which is better at saving more lives: lockdown vs no lockdown, the answer is yes lockdown.

If you were wondering which is better economically in the long term: lockdown vs no lockdown, the answer is still yes lockdown.

Through models, we expect a second wave of infections once the lockdown is lifted. So intuitively, the ideal situation is to wait for the first wave to die down and give hospitals a bit of time to prepare for the second wave before lifting.

After all this mess is done, we need to help the losers of the tradeoffs we had to make, most especially those who suffered economically due to the lockdown. These are mostly the unemployed, which is forecasted to shoot through levels worse than the 2008 financial crisis.

This article is divided into two main parts: first, we will talk about the two main kinds of trade-offs we have to deal with (medically and economically) and what they imply. Second, I will examine America’s handling of the crisis and what we can learn and imply from it.

Medical Trade-Offs

The concept of a triage was first conceptualized by a French military surgeon named Dominique-Jean Larrey [1]. It was a system of segregating and prioritizing medical attention and resources to wounded troops with the highest chance of survival. It is necessary but can feel hard hearted.

Doctors are doing the same thing right now considering the surge of patients and the lack of supplies. [2] Imagine you have two patients in need of a ventilator but you only have one, the decision on who to give it to usually flows like this:

First rule of thumb is to give the supplies to the person with the highest chance of survival.

If both have an equal chance, give it to the person who is more likely to live longer once recovered. [3]

These decisions had to be made by doctors everyday and at quantities big enough to break them down emotionally. These choices are further complicated by certain realities relating to Covid-19, of which I will highlight three:

Ventilators are necessary when combating a severe case of the virus.

Ventilators are tough on the body. Frail and old bodies cannot sustain the stress from a ventilator for more than 3 weeks.

Patients on a ventilator truly need it and when taken away from them, they will die within minutes. [3]

These realities can lead to decisions devastating to morale. For example, if a young patient arrives and is in need of a ventilator, under the triage rule of thumbs, it is better to take a ventilator being used by an older patient and transfer it to the young because: 1) the young has more chances of surviving the virus, 2) the young has more chances of surviving the stress of the ventilator, and 3) the young, once recovered, will live a longer life. While ethically reasonable, it is burdensome to basically kill the older patient. [4]

Economic Trade-Offs

It can feel wrong to discuss economics when there’s thousands of people dying from the pandemic out there. However, the very fact that the numbers are that high is the very reason why it is necessary. To manage and fight an enemy with this scale, we need to strategize.

The main trade-off economically is in knowing which is worse: the cure or the problem; the cure being putting everything in lockdown and the economy is in a coma. To keep it fair, we will look at two scenarios: 1) no lockdown, versus 2) with a lockdown. To understand the rationale behind the pros and cons, I delved into one of the most common epidemiological models (the SEIR model) in Appendix A.

No lockdown.

PROS

The pandemic would’ve been over sooner.

The economy would’ve kept going.

CONS

1 million more people will die (number based on America. This is 458% more than the worst estimate with a lockdown). [20]

Lockdown.

PROS

A 78% reduction in deaths. [20]

CONS

A second wave of infection is expected once the lockdown is lifted.

The economy is in a coma.

Looking at the pros and cons, it’s clear that the amount of lives saved is enough to convince that “yes lockdown” is a better option. But even if you crunch the numbers and calculate the lifetime cost to the economy of losing that many people, it still shows that “yes lockdown” is a better option. The calculations for this is detailed in Appendix B.

But one crucial note: there’ll be a duration wherein the lockdown will do more harm than good. Next question: then what? Let’s break that down into three questions, all with differing scenarios and time frames.

When do we lift the lockdown?

Since we are expecting a second wave, it would make sense to lift it once the first wave (what we are experiencing right now) dies down. Preferably, we should also give hospitals a bit more time after the first wave to prepare their medical facilities for the incoming second wave.

What if that takes too long?

In an ideal world, we want the first wave done, for hospitals to be prepared for the second wave, and a better treatment for the virus to be developed before opening society again. However, we need to acknowledge the nightmare scenario. What if none of those conditions are met and we are locked down for too long? When that happens, a lockdown will start to do more harm than good.

Societal cohesion will decrease. [9]

Mental health will decrease. [9][10]

The economy has been put to sleep for too long that skills, innovation, and investments would be stalled and would decay. This can become detrimental for the search of a vaccine or cure. [11]

What to do when this happens? Honestly, not sure.

What do we do after all this mess?

After everything, we have to help all the losers of the trade-offs mentioned so far. One is the young since they will be carrying the burden of paying off all the massive debt accrued during this crisis. Another are the unemployed, which is surging at the moment as companies had to lay off workers due to the shutting of businesses. The unemployment rate is estimated to skyrocket at around 15%-30% in America, depending on who is estimating. [12][13][14] Notice in figure 6 that it is expected to be worse than the 2008 financial crisis.

Figure 6

This can go two ways: historically, shocks brought on by a crisis will rebound quickly and sharply. However this time, experts expect the rebound to be slower since people will stay cautious for a while before reverting to the norm, which they estimate to be by 2023. [15]

Probably, the biggest loser is the combination of the two: the young and unemployed, usually the new graduates. Just like the author of this article.

America and the COVID-19

At the time of writing, New York is the epicenter of the disease and is in the brink of hospitals reaching its limit. To lend a hand, the USNS Comfort (Figure 7) has arrived to relieve New York of some patients. [15] This floating hospital has a capacity of 1000 patients and is one of two. The other giant floating hospital, the USNS Mercy, has been deployed to California. [17]

Figure 7 [16]

Figure 8 and 9 shows forecasts from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) for New York, California, and Virginia. [18] The dashed lines in figure 8 shows the estimated needs for an ICU (blue is the lower estimate, yellow is the mean estimate, red is the high estimate) while the green line shows how many ICU beds are in each state. Three things to note. First, the needs for an ICU bed in New York and Virginia are predicted to exceed capacity. Second, the outbreak is predicted to be not as bad as New York. Third, as seen in Virginia, their outbreak is to last and spread out until May, implying not all places in America will be infected at the same time. The pro is that if it’s spread out, the virus is easier to combat. The con is that this will put the economy on hold for longer.

Figure 8

Figure 9

But the thing about America is that it is very decentralized: the good job of one state can be ruined by the spillover effects of the bad job made by another. One example of bad governance is by the governor of Florida. The gov has been more concerned with politicking and appeasing Trump more than actually protecting the state, which has a high population for the elderly. The governor refused to close beaches to spring breakers (See figure 10) despite the threat of the virus. [19] Currently, Florida has 15.7k cases of the virus. Now that Trump has changed his tone and called on governors to be the frontline of this pandemic, the blame can be shifted too easily and it’s not going to look good on Florida’s governor.

Figure 10. Julio Cortez / AP.

Appendix A: SEIR Model

Figure 1

Figure one shows the most basic SEIR model (and the only version I am willing to learn and understand. Disclaimer: I am not an epidemiologist), named so for its four main variables. The S variable is the number of people Susceptible to the disease (which is usually the whole population). Variable E is called Exposed, which is how much was exposed to the virus. Variable I means Infectious, which is how much of the population incubated the disease and started becoming infectious. Finally, the R variable stands for Recovered which is when a patient recovers and develops immunity from the disease. Strangely though, those who die also get lumped under R. Beta represents how contagious the virus is, sigma represents the incubation period, and gamma is the rate at which people recover (or die). At any point in time, all of this should add up to 1, as they’re all about the ratio of the population in a particular state. As one may notice, these values seem to be calculated backwards, starting from the fatality of the disease. [5]

Figure 2

Figure two shows the typical trajectory of the base SEIR model [5], which should be similar to how Covid-19 would progress if there was no lockdown. Figure 3, taken from a study in The Lancet [6], runs a simulation on a model that seems to be similar to the SEIR model but with a lockdown. Note the green line, containing the rather famous “flatten the curve” call to action. More interestingly, note the blue line which shows two humps, representing the first and second wave of the disease. From this model, experts expect a second wave after the lockdown is lifted.

Figure 3

Appendix B: Economic Benefits of Social Distancing

The aforementioned calculation was made by University of Chicago’s Michael Greenstone and Vishan Nigam [7]. They calculated the net benefit of the lives saved through social distancing and putting a monetary figure by using the US Government’s Value of Statistical Life (VSL). Figure 4 shows the formula used.

Figure 4

In the formula, Rjdirect is the proportion of the population directly saved by social distancing and Rjoverflow is the proportion of the population indirectly saved by social distancing by preventing the overcrowding of hospitals and lowering the chances of being denied ICU beds and ventilators. These calculations were based on the work of Ferguson et al (there were 31 authors) [8]. Figure 5 shows the age adjusted calculations of the total economic benefit of social distancing to society. The final value is totalled on the lower right corner of the table, which is almost $8 trillion dollars. This is about 42% of America’s current GDP. This gain outweighs any negative economic impact brought on by social distancing even in the long term.

"Lmao you think Irving pays journalists to say nice things about Harry?"

It’s common practice in the industry.

http://www.stereogum.com/1949874/chance-the-rapper-kings-of-leon-reportedly-got-mtv-news-to-delete-mildly-negative-reviews-of-their-music/news/

[…]

Something similar happened when the site published a concert review that discussed the “emotional disconnect” that the writer felt while listening to Chance The Rapper’s Coloring Book. Chance’s management, upon noticing the review, said that Chance would never work with MTV again. MTV again deleted the article. In an email to SPIN, Chance’s manager Pat Corcoran confirmed the story.

This was evidently a constant threat at MTV; the SPIN piece quotes an editor telling the staff not to cover DJ Khaled “unless it’s like, KHALED IS GREAT.” And, to be fair, that balance between pleasing artists and keeping editorial integrity is a constant internal discussion atevery music publication that depends on access to artists — which is every music publication of any size, including Stereogum. It’s long been widely understood that this is how MTV works. But it’s still striking to see just how much control the site gave over to the artists it covered. And it’s especially surprising to see Chance, an artist who gets near-universal critical praise for everything he does, effectively admitting to putting the lean on.

But the real important story is this one.

http://www.spin.com/featured/the-mtv-news-experiment/

In September 2016, MTV News published a story by writer Hazel Cills titled “Kings of Leon Waste Their Moment.” The post was a short review of the band’s new single, “Waste a Moment,” which argued that Kings of Leon had failed to cash in on the promise they showed on earlier albums. “Their sound today is no longer just middle of the road,” Cills wrote. “It’s almost aggressively anonymous.” She concluded by stating that the song “plays like an imprint of the last five years of music—neither a return to Kings of Leon’s svelte roots nor a reinvention worth investing in.”

It was a fairly gentle critique of a band who, pretty much anyone would agree, is no longer putting out its best music. Still, the article became an immediate source of trouble for MTV and it was quietly deleted after the band raised concerns with executives at the network. The band has not returned SPIN’s request for comment.

Hopper called a staff meeting two days later to discuss the situation. According to an ex-staff member who attended the meeting, Hopper explained that the band became aware of the article and threatened to remove itself from the MTV Europe Music Awards. The complaint over the article went straight to executive-level corporate management, and an agreement was reached that MTV News would, at least temporarily, cease the publication of reviews under 500 words. This was because executives at MTV associated those kinds of blog posts with snarkiness and criticism, both of which were deemed detrimental to the network’s broader ability to work with artists who may be the subjects of such posts.

You know who manages Kings of Leon?

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/the_big_picture/2010/05/the-hottest-new-showbiz-blood-feud-axl-rose-vs-irving-azoff.html

Azoff, who is now arguably the most powerful man in the music business. With the merger between Live Nation and Ticketmaster, Azoff now controls roughly 70% of the concert ticket market (via Ticketmaster), a huge swath of the live concert business (through Live Nation) and handles the careers of roughly 200 top artists (from the Eagles, Van Halen and Christina Aguilera to Willie Nelson and the Kings of Leon) thanks to Azoff’s Front Line Management.

So there you have it. Proof that Irving Azoff forced a news publication to take down a negative review of one of his artists and threatened to no longer work with them again if they didn’t. What do you think he would do for the client of his on?

Here’s more on the corrupt relationship between music journalists and the artists’ teams.

http://www.spin.com/featured/the-mtv-news-experiment/

It happened again the following month, when then-staffer David Turner wrote a concert review that focused on the “emotional disconnect” he felt while listening to Chance the Rapper’s new album Coloring Book. (In December, Turner, who was no longer working at the site, posted the article to Medium without noting that it once appeared on MTV.) When the story was featured on MTV’s Snapchat Discover channel, it caught the eye of Chance’s management, who subsequently contacted MTV and allegedly said that, as a result, he “was never working with MTV again.”

On October 21, Hopper explained that the network’s Music and Talent (“M&T”) division requested that the article be deleted. SPIN obtained screenshots of messages sent by Hopper in private channels of the music team’s office Slack. Several MTV employees affirmed their authenticity, and of those that will appear later in this piece.

Regarding Chance the Rapper, Hopper said:

since some of you know a little about this already, just wanted to explain why we took down David’s Chance piece, for the sake of transparency. This information is to stay in this channel, this group. Chance and his management became aware of David’s piece via the repost on Snapchat Discover and subsequently told MTV, amid high level negotiations for linear specials, that he was never working with MTV again because of it. M&T asked us to unpublished and scrub it from social media as they attempt to repair this with him and his management. It is upsetting for obvious journalistic reasons—we stand behind everything we publish. Right now, we are unsure how it may impact Chance-related projects both in and outside of News if the relationship cannot be repaired. Everyone agrees it was a fair and reasoned piece of criticism, a rare note of dissent in the face of six other positive pieces of coverage—and so we are hoping for a reasonable outcome. If you have any questions, all of you have my email/DM/phone, please do not hesitate to reach out.

[…]

Conversations between senior staff and artist representatives on the topic of what would be accepted on the site happened with some regularity. On July 5, 2016, Hopper told the staff that MTV was attempting to book DJ Khaled for various unknown projects, telling the staff that they might have to “nix” any writing on the producer “unless it’s like, KHALED IS GREAT.”Elsewhere, interference from artist reps was so pervasive that some MTV News editors spent part of this past New Year’s Eve haggling line-by-line with a chart-topping, platinum-selling, Grammy-winning female pop star’s publicist over a post in which MTV’s editors eventually agreed to cut one sentence.

Hopper also told the staff in October that “from time to time we do show [articles] to the heads of music and talent departments so they can sign off, or answer any questions about concerns they might have,” explaining that MTV News existed in an “ecosystem” where blowback from artists due to critical articles would land in the laps of other departments at the network. In turn, this meant the editors consented to arrangements that stepped outside the standard practices of journalism. […]

Enjoy your tea.

How to Trade Bitcoin – Learn Bitcoin Trading

Trading Bitcoin, profitably, has been somewhat of a challenge for many crypto traders, especially beginner traders. To become successful at cryptocurrency trading, one has to garner a healthy amount of knowledge or experience. All that is required is the dedication to become well versed in cryptocurrency, which will invariably help you grow your trading prowess and become a profitable trader.

In this article, we cover the basics of trading Bitcoin, the adoption of healthy trading habits, pitfalls to avoid, Bitcoin CFDs, and every other necessary trading information you will need. Regardless of whether you’re a beginner trader or a professional trader, this article will be more than valuable for you.

Introduction to Bitcoin Trading

Bitcoin trading, simply put, is buying into Bitcoin positions for a relatively short period with the primary aim of making a profit at the sale. Bitcoin trading involves analyzing trends and charts to get an idea of what the market is doing at that moment and predicting what it will do in the next.

Mainly, there are two primary modes for analyzing the Bitcoin market; fundamental analysis and technical analysis; we’ll come to this later.

Why Bitcoin is Valuable

Bitcoin is an investment vehicle that provides an effective means of transferring funds through the internet at lightning speed and is governed by a decentralized network with transparent regulations, thus serving as a suitable replacement for traditional fiat, which makes it a good Store of Value.

In today’s economy, for a currency to indeed be characterized as successful, it has to comply with three main qualities:

It must be free from all control by governments or authorities.

Borders must not bind it so that it can travel freely to any location on earth.

It must be apolitical, meaning it doesn’t favor certain groups or individuals.

All these qualities are inherent in Bitcoin. The crypto giant, which was the world’s first digital currency, derives its value from being the very first currency that cannot be manipulated and is readily available to anyone willing to purchase.

Bitcoin is free from oppression, control, and hyperinflation. It also has a limited supply of 21 million tokens to safeguard against inflation and sustain its value.

In truth, any currency governed by a central bank is not credible considering the big picture. Governments have made it so that their nations’ currency can be manipulated at will. Fiat has become less and less valuable since it was removed from the gold standard.

All the numerous flaws plaguing the fiat monetary system cannot be found on Bitcoin, which makes it superior to fiat.

Bitcoin Trading vs. Investing

In the global markets, Bitcoin included, there are generally two kinds of players involved: traders and investors. Understanding the difference between the two will help you in becoming a better Bitcoin trader/ investor.

“Investing” in Bitcoin involves buying and holding Bitcoin for the long term in hopes or expectations that the value will increase over time. Investors also invest in Bitcoin out of the belief of the technology or team. This class of actors is popularly known as HODLers in the Bitcoin community.

Bitcoin traders, on the other, trade Bitcoin in the short term, for quick profits. Traders, unlike investors, see Bitcoin as an opportunity to make profits. In some cases, they don’t even care for the technology behind it or the team.

That said, some people trade and invest, at the same time, in Bitcoin.

Bitcoin trading has been on the rise in recent times due to various reasons.

Firstly, Bitcoin is extremely volatile. This means that you can make a decent profit in a short period if you correctly predict the next price movement. Furthermore, the Bitcoin market is open 24/7 all year round. This allows for more time to trade Bitcoin whenever you see fit.

Finally, Bitcoin’s decentralized nature and its ease of entry make it very appealing as a trading tool for many.

Bitcoin Trading Methods

There’s no arguing that the primary purpose for trading Bitcoin is to make a profit. There are several methods to achieve this aim in the cryptocurrency market. Explained below are the trading methods involved in Bitcoin trading:

1- Day trading: Day trading, as the name suggests, consists in executing and completing trades within a day. Day traders spend the bulk of their time in front of their screens, analyzing charts and price movement. Day traders always make sure they close all open trades on the same day it was opened.

2- Scalping: Scalping is the attempt of scrapping tiny profits off tiny price movements multiple times to generate substantial profit. Scalping is an extreme short-term trading strategy and is based on the precept that it alleviates the risks involved in trading. Scalpers can conduct hundreds of trades in a single day. However, this trading method has its inherent risks and disadvantages and requires experience and expertise to carry out.

3- Swing trading: Swing trading is a more passive trading approach that takes advantage of the natural swings of price cycles. Swing trading involves identifying market trends, entering and riding the trend, and exiting only when the trend has ended.

Swing traders can hold trades for weeks, months, and even a few years until they achieve the desired outcome.

Fundamental and Technical Analysis Methods

There is no “holy grail” in trading Bitcoin that guarantees a loss-free trading system. Every trader, no matter how experienced, witnesses trading losses at one point or the other. The goal, however, is to have your trading balance in the positive no matter how many losing trades you may have accrued.

There are two general techniques involved in analyzing the global markets, Bitcoin inclusive. They are fundamental analysis and technical analysis.

Fundamental analysis: Involves predicting market movements by evaluating news and events happening with Bitcoin. Macroeconomics are also important factors when carrying out fundamental analysis on Bitcoin.

This analysis method is not concerned with what price may be doing at that moment but is concerned, instead, with outside factors and how they could influence the price.

Technical analysis: This involves the thorough study of the technicalities included in Bitcoin trading. It requires reading and understanding charts, graphs, momentum indicators, oscillators, volume, volatility, and price action to predict the next possible movement of the price.

Trading Bitcoin CFDs

The recent increase in the rage for Bitcoin has caused exchanges to increase the access to the global markets they offer their customers. Particularly, a good number of providers have begun delivering “Contracts for Difference” services on popular cryptocurrencies.

A CFD is an arrangement based on an underlying asset, probably a share, index, commodity or currency pair. Trading CFDs allows you to take advantage of an asset by making speculations on that asset to make a profit, without having to own that asset at any time.

In CFD trading, every point move the price makes in your selected direction translates as a profit for you according to the number of units you traded. Likewise, in a scenario where the price goes in the opposite direction of your selection, you make a loss.

CFD was initially limited to stocks, currencies, commodities, and indexes. However, it is now available for Bitcoin pairs and crypto-fiat pairs.

How Does Bitcoin CFD work?

One of the most remarkable features of trading CFDs is the ability to make a profit by either buying or selling a CFD. Since you don’t own the underlying asset, you are not restricted to just buying that asset, and you could sell it if you feel it is headed for a drop in price.

One important concept you have to comprehend before going into CFD trading is “Leverage.” Leverage can be very advantageous and detrimental at the same time.

To open a CFD trade, you will be required to deposit a small percentage (10%, 2%, or even less) of the trade’s total worth. This is generally known as a “margin requirement.”

For example, assume you open a trade worth $5,000 with a margin requirement of 2%, it means that you need just $100 to make this trade.

Here’s where it gets interesting. Your profit expectation is not based on your $100 deposit but instead, on the $5,000 original worth.

Leveraging allows you to reap more benefits with so little. However, it also amplifies your losses, meaning that there is the possibility of losing more than you deposited for the trade. This risk tendency should be your major concern when trading CFDs.

Even though CFDs trading may seem more daunting than traditional Bitcoin trading, they help you avoid the security-associated risks that come with trading those securities. They also offer the opportunity to make profits in both rising and crashing market situations. However, this advantage comes with a heightened amount of risk.

Pros of Bitcoin CFDs

Listed below are the advantages of trading Bitcoin CFDs:

Margin trading allows for increased profit potential.

You can trade Bitcoin without having to own it.

You don’t need to have accounts on exchanges or own crypto wallets.

You can make a profit in both bullish and bearish markets.

CFD providers tend to provide better customer support.

Cons of Bitcoin CFDs

Greater exposure to margin calls.

You can lose more than you deposit.

Not convenient to hold for a prolonged period.

Heightened volatility.

It is also speculative.

Common Bitcoin Trading Mistakes

If you’ve read up to this point, you should have gotten a feel for how Bitcoin trading works, and you should be ready to test your newly acquired knowledge in the field. However, you need to keep it in mind that trading Bitcoin is a precarious business, and mistakes can be very costly.

Explained below are some common mistakes traders make. Let’s hope you learn from this and avoid making these mistakes yourself. Professional traders can also make a point or two from these warnings.

#1 Mistake – Risking more than you can afford to lose: This is probably the worst mistake you can make as a trader. As explained previously, losses are made once in a while. Every trade you take has a possibility of going against you, so if you’re risking more than you can afford, you’re setting yourself up for s loss… and a margin call.

Also, trading more than you can afford to lose affects you psychologically, which could cause you to make terrible trading decisions.

#2 Mistake – Not following a plan: Some traders make the mistake of not having a precise course of action when trading. They don’t have any entry or exit plans.

To be a successful trader, it is imperative to have a pre-set stop-loss and take-profit area before entering any trade.

#3 Mistake – Keeping money on an exchange: Never leave money on an exchange you’re currently not engaged with. Moving your money on exchanges leaves you open to casualties. The transaction could get hacked, go offline, or go out of business entirely at any time, and if your fund is still on the exchange, you may never be able to recover it.

Instead of leaving your funds idling on an exchange, move it to your offline or online wallet to secure it.

#4 Mistake – Acting based on fear or greed: Two fundamental emotions can control the actions of traders; fear and greed. Anxiety could cause you to close out of a position, that would have been profitable, prematurely. Greed, on the other hand, causes traders to jump on a trade without performing proper market analysis because they don’t want to miss out on that opportunity.

There will always be more opportunities in the future, take your time, and evaluate before executing any trade. A repetition of such actions can lead to the total wipeout of your trading funds. One way to overcome the trap of our emotions in trading is by following our set plan religiously.

#5 Mistake – Not learning from experience: Regardless of whether you had a successful or losing trade, there is always a lesson to be learned. Keep a journal or recorder at hand, and document all your activities.

Should You Trade Bitcoin?

Here are eight reasons why you should, in fact, trade Bitcoin:

1- Bitcoin’s rules are permanent: Bitcoin’s set rule can never and will never be changed. The token distribution plan will go as scheduled, halvings will occur when due, and every other set plan will be executed.

2- Bitcoin will become even more scarce: Because of how rapidly the adoption of Bitcoin is, it is sure to become more limited in the future. Scarcity is also a method Bitcoin utilizes in sustaining its value.

3- Bitcoin is transparent: Bitcoin is more transparent than the Federal Reserve or any other traditional currency.

4- Bitcoin cannot be censored: It cannot be censored even in strictly regulated countries like China, Brazil, and Russia, mainly because of its decentralized nature.

5- Transferring Bitcoin incur low charges: Unlike fiat, transferring Bitcoin across borders is unbelievably cheap.

6- Bitcoin regulation is becoming more developed: In its inception in 2009, Bitcoin was not regarded by any authority because it wasn’t considered to be valuable. However, nations are clamoring to control or regulate the entity, which is a clear sign of how expensive it is and is becoming.

7- Bitcoin creates the opportunity to make a profit: Profit can be made by trading the security or by merely holding it long enough for its value to increase.

8- Bitcoin is a better alternative to gold: It has become apparent that we’re now in a digital era, and digital currencies are the currency of the future, and gold, unfortunately, will be left in the past. Bitcoin is considered to be an even better Store of Value than gold.

Now that you’ve seen the pros of buying Bitcoin, It is also imperative to be aware of the possible downsides of buying Bitcoin. Here are some reasons to consider:

1- Bitcoin could suffer technical obsolescence: As the digital world advances, better alternatives to Bitcoin could arise, causing Bitcoin to become obsolete.

2- Bitcoin is still in its development phase: The stocks and bonds market has been around for over 300 years, which is a huge difference compared to Bitcoin’s tiny ten years in existence.

3- Bitcoin could be taken down by a coordinated government attack: If all the top economies of the world were to collectively crackdown on Bitcoin, there’s no telling what catastrophe it could spell for the cryptocurrency.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q- How do I trade Bitcoin?

A- To begin trading Bitcoin, you need to follow these simple steps:

1- Open an account with a Bitcoin-supported exchange.

2- Verify your identity.

3- Make a cash deposit into your live account.

4- Make your first trade.

Q- Is day trading a good way to make money?

A- Trading cryptocurrencies can be very profitable, and there are several trading methods to adopt.

While trading Bitcoin can be a sure way to make money, facts have it that 90% of people that go into trading quit in the first 3 months.

Final Note

In my opinion, trading Bitcoin can be very challenging, and as stated in this article, the percentage of people who quit trading after the first few months is alarming. That said, to succeed in this intimidating market, you need to build your trading knowledge, skill, and experience.

Another note of warning goes to those who are looking to trade Bitcoin as a get-rich-quick scheme. Bitcoin doesn’t work like that, and it is advisable to stay away entirely from it if this is your expectation.

Dear Mark: Coffee Questions

For today’s edition of Dear Mark, I’m answering questions from last week’s post on coffee and fasting. First, is cortisol a bad guy all the time? Next, what about non-dairy powdered creamers? Good, bad, breaking the fast? How does thyroid hormone replacement therapy affect the fast? Is a “tiny amount” of protein disastrous to a fast? Can you take BCAAs during a fast and maintain the benefits? Can I still drink Frappucinos? And what do I think of Dr. Panda’s take on coffee triggering the digestive system and thus negating the effects of a fast?

Let’s go:

So coffee increases cortisol. Is increasing cortisol a beneficial or detrimental thing to do during a fast? I speculate that it would add to stresses in the body but I suppose it matters how well a person manages cortisol.

Cortisol relays messages about the outside world to the cells, tissues, and organs inside you. If cortisol is high, your body receives an “alert” message. Things are happening. It’s dangerous out there. It’s dire. You need to move. You need to act. You need to be alert. You need all systems trained on getting you safely through the storm. Cortisol helps with that.

When cortisol spikes, you actually release more fat from body fat stores and, in concert with adrenaline, burn it. This is helpful during exercise or any other situation that demands extra fuel.

These effects are flipped in the presence of chronic levels of cortisol activation. Chronic cortisol leads to fat gain (especially belly fat), lower energy levels, depressed cognitive function. You can’t run at top speed forever. The wheels fall off.

It’s the classic acute vs chronic dichotomy we see in everything.

Laid atop an established pattern of chronic stress and cortisol activation, coffee during a fast could makes things worse. But if you’re chronically stressed, you probably should take care of that before you get deep into intermittent fasting.

If you’re fasting on purpose, if you’ve decided to incorporate fasting into your healthy lifestyle and you’re sleeping well, you’re eating well (when you’re not fasting), you’re training regularly, the effects change. A little cortisol isn’t anything to worry about.

Can someone explain how non-dairy powdered creamers play into this?

I assume because it’s processed it must be bad, but what impact does it have in our diets and especially with fasting?

Many non-dairy powdered creamers are awful, made from hydrogenated vegetable oil. Avoid those.

I’m a big fan of powdered MCT oil. You can whisk that into some milk or directly in your coffee for a great “cream” effect. The brand I use just has some soluble corn fiber, sunflower lecithin (choline source), sodium caseinate, and sodium dioxide to enhance the creaminess.

In case you’re unaware, MCTs are medium chain triglycerides, a class of fatty acids that convert more readily into ketone bodies than other fats. They can really help beginners extend and tolerate the fast.

They do “break” the fast, however.

What about prescription medications and autophagy? I take daily thyroid meds in the morning on an empty stomach. Since I fast til lunch, I can push this forward until 9 or 10 am, keeping it within an overall 10 hour window (eating in just 6 hours). Sometimes I think it would be good to fast 36-72 hours to really amp up autophagy, but is that a waste of time if I still take the meds?

I can’t speak to meds in general, but thyroid hormone is actually a major player in the regulation of autophagy, particularly in the liver, where it upregulates autophagy and preserves mitochondrial function, enhances mitochondrial turnover and protects against carcinogenesis.

Meanwhile, low levels of thyroid hormone increase thyroid stimulating hormone, which leads to depressed autophagy and increased cell death.

This is endogenous thyroid hormone, not prescription. The effects may differ when you’re taking it in a pill, but since those pills are meant to emulate our natural production of thyroid hormone, I don’t think it’ll differ very much.

In the tea post, would you please clarify effects of mixing even tiny amounts of protein with green tea? I read that it reduces the beneficial effects of fat burning.

Adding tiny amounts of protein will likely inhibit autophagy (cellular cleanup and maintenance) but won’t affect fat burning much at all.

Hi Mark, what about taking some BCAA’s during the fast to spare muscles? I’m trying to gain muscle and do my fasted workouts with some BCAA’s in my water bottle. Does this limit the fast? Thanks!

Depends how you’re scheduling your fasts.

If you’re doing a full-on 24 hour+ fast once a week or so, skip the BCAAs. You’re eating plenty of protein the rest of the week and a day without any coming in will be fine. Might even be optimal.

If you’re doing more of a Leangains-style compressed eating window every day, BCAAs aren’t as much of a big deal. They’ll still “break the fast,” but since you’re going to be working out right after and eating shortly, it’s mostly a wash. Martin Berkhan was a big fan of BCAAs before fasted workouts.

Frappuccino? would that break a fast?

Those things have enough sugar and calories to break several fasts.

I’m glad you mentioned Dr. Panda. I was wondering the same thing. From what I understand, anything beyond water triggers the enzymes that would prevent a autophagy. Is that incorrect?

My understanding is that anything beyond water triggers the digestive enzymes and starts the “digestive day.” Digestion, like everything else, has a circadian rhythm. Whenever you eat your first meal of the day, your body gears up for a solid 8-10 hours of eating. By the time you’re breaking your fast, the digestive day is winding down and your body isn’t as efficient at handling food.

I don’t think it has anything to do with autophagy.

If you don’t seem to tolerate food very well after a fast, try skipping the coffee.

That’s it for today, folks. Thanks for reading and be sure to help out down below with any further questions, answers, or clarifications.

Take care!
