With the right electric field you can generate (a small amount of) thrust our of ions in air flowing over a charged plane.

One of the myth-busters “anti-gravity” devices they tested was actually (very weak) a static electric ion thruster.

Pretty cool - but it did need electric power input.

A researcher should offer a sufficient compensation package to get enough volunteers after explaining the risks. They should get independent medical advice too.

They can still randomize within the volunteers with treatment / placebo, and maybe use quotas, but they’d just have to extend their trial period until they’d achieved a measurably representative treatment and control group and enough volunteers to test the hypothesis to the required level.

This type of non-random sampling may very well have to be done anyway, for example if they needed the power to test efficacy and safety in all the potential dug interactions or co-morbidity scenarios. Not to mention any diagnosis requirement will also screen the sample which could be influenced by health care system resources and policies, not necessarily pure morbidity. So I think they can deal with non-random sampling in med research perfectly well.

I don’t know much about nazis but I thought an important part of their rhetoric was to draw distinctions between types of human.

So they’d not see “10bn humans”, they’d see maybe 100m aryan and 9.9bn “untermensch”; the latter being equivalent to rats available to be experimented on.

I just find rats to be much more preferable, pleasant and considerate creatures than humans. I see humans as a single tier of unterratten; totally different hierarchcy.

Why the fuck not?

10 billion of those cunts now, it seems likely that overpopulation is at least slightly exacerbated by medical research.

There should be plenty to spare for them to experiment on their own kind.

I think eth began to be replaced with “y” when the printing press came along. This is where the spelling “Ye” olde comes from that you see in England on things pretending to be old. Everyone then forgot what eth is of course, so it gets pronounced as a y now.
