Slowish blocks on Signet
BIP 54 was activated on Inquisition at the beginning of the month. BIP 54 introduces a mitigation for blocks that are slow to validate. @ajtowns and i figured it would be interesting to run some slow blocks on Signet. The goal is to showcase some slow blocks…

R to @alizaeteri: Two Jewish-Americans scientists, Louis S. Goodman and Alfred Gilman, both working at Yale…
They didn’t set out to cure cancer.
They were secretly recruited by the U.S
Army’s chemical warfare division during World War II.
Their mission: study poison gases for battle.

R to @alizaeteri: The first human chemo trial?
In 1943 they tested it on a human patient…
a man who had lymphoma.
The "patient" died.
Yet they still called it "success"
They hid this under the label "National Defense Research."
Why?
Because it was illegal.
Banned by the Geneva Convention.

R to @alizaeteri: Then they created entire classes of chemo drugs that:
🔹Kill cells at random
🔹Destroy immune function
🔹Wipe out bone marrow
🔹Cause permanent organ damage
All for "temporary shrinkage" of a tumor.
But what if… the tumor was a defense mechanism? What if it's a symptom?

R to @alizaeteri: Let's talk results.
A study in Clinical Oncology (2004) found:
Chemo contributes just 2.3% to 5-year cancer survival in the U.S.
Only 2.3% that survive the brutal, dangerous treatment...
And yet it's a $200 billion/year industry.
That's a very profitable business.
Am I wrong?
