Homeopathy Explained – Gentle Healing or Reckless Fraud?
For a while in history, there have been some doctors who would suggest treating a fever with an icy bath. You know, to bring the fever down. What we know now is that raising the body's temperature actually helps the immune system fight off infections. So, if someone has a fever treating the symptom (hot) with the opposite (cold) is usually terrible idea.
What do we do at home when we have a fever? Warm soup or tea. This makes it easier for the body to keep its temperature up. Treating like with like.
Is there some example of where "treat like with like" is useful and insightful? I mean, all I can think of is immunotherapy for allergies.
Homeopathy Explained – Gentle Healing or Reckless Fraud?
There are some core philosophies withing homeopathy that have some merit for some cases (e.g. treat like from like, stop unhealthy activities to heal...) but it is mostly practiced and promoted by charlatans.
Most of the good ideas that homeopathy came up with were adopted by mainstream medicine anyway.

For context on what it takes to plant 3 million trees:
I worked one season as a planter when I was younger and put just under 50,000 trees in the ground. It was my first (and only) season doing that job. So in theory, twenty rookie planters could plant a million trees in about two months.
Sometimes I think to Myself...
Get on with it then.

The need for something like UBI is due to the runaway inequality caused by 'supply-side' thinking like Reaganomics and neo-liberalism.
