Heavy metal is the modern equivalent to classical music.

Nothing that needs saying can be said briefly.

For example, you read "Nothing that needs saying can be said briefly." and take away the idea that "Nothing important can be said briefly.". Whoops! Brevity has let the important point get lost.

There is a trick to saying important things in just a few words: jargon! It doesn't have to be jaw breakingly polysyllabic. One can achieve compression of meaning with a homely word or phrase, set in a context that evokes its special meaning. Economists do this with comparative advantage and also with public goods.

Some of your readers will understand; others will not. Who understands? Those who have studied the matter already. And in the course of their study they have already understood the important point. So yes, it was important, but no, it didn't need saying; they already knew. As for the others, since it is important, it does need saying; but how? It will have to be said at length, telling the stories behind the special phrases such as comparative advantage and public goods, because the true meaning resides in the long stories.

The drug cartels would jump at the opportunity to regulate magnesium. Fortunately, magnesium, the miracle drug that it is, is an electrolyte and supplement.

There are cancer medications that are nothing more than high doses of vitamin D3. There was a push to switch to International Units to scare people away from this supplement. Likewise, there is mass fear around sunshine.

I am also planning on interviewing niggers in new england towns and cities and ask them 1- why they are here
2- who brought them here
And 3- to get the fuck out of my home land.

“We are not what we know but what we are willing to learn.”

There are a lot of dogmatic nigger faggots on here that need to unlearn jewish conditioning.

This is not the substance you're looking for.

There is no freedom of speech in America. Disorderly conduct can apply to any sound you make or movement you take. If you ever call the cops for help, you drastically increase your potential of being abused and/or murdered by the cops that come to help you. There are no good feds, even the dead ones weren't vaxxedtothemax hard enough. The entirety of western values are based on a bedrock of jewish lies, jesus was a lying jew, and so was the shitskin pedo mohammed. Women and girls in America murder more children every 2 months (calling it abortion) than ALL mass shooters (school shootings and gang shootouts) that have occured in the past 50 years. I just spent 3 minutes typing this and no other people will see this post, and I have been permanently banned from 4chan on 3 different ip adresses in the past month.

You say something of substance. This isn't the motivational quote book you keep in your bathroom. You want substance? You're barking up the wrong tree, dog.
