You so much for having me cheers now ive mentioned some examples of what you call idea pathogens thoughts that seem to be well intentioned at least initially until you recognise that they pave the way to how what are some others so also modernism is probably the ground daddy of all idea just because it reports that there are no absolute truths we are completely shackled by subjectivity we are shackled by our personal biases and as you might imagine there is a kernel of truth to that idea but when taken to the extreme it becomes very antiscientific because scientists do wake up every day under the working presumption that there are truths to be discovered so was modernism would be one feminism would be another it starts off as a great idea equity feminism is a good idea men and women should be equal under the law. The more for sizes and so a dreadful idea when it becomes men and women are biologically. English well everything is of the social construction so you start with a noble idea

This hearing to the call of the chair. But its my intention to have d. P. H. Back at one of our two july meetings, because i would like to have more of that detail and maybe some dollar figures attached. And i do have at least a couple of additional questions about the you know, the results of the bed study, for example, you know, how does that proposed increase in funding relate to the existing d. P. H. Budget for beds . Because my understanding is the existing budget for beds does not actually account for all of the beds we buy over the course of a year. So if were adding 10 million to a budget that already doesnt account for for the beds that we need to buy over the course of the year, im not sure thats guaranteed well be making progress toward the number of beds that we need.
