Is it true they teach creationism as part of science in some American schools?
I know several bio teachers, while they don’t have to teach creationism here they do have to treat evolution as a “story” and really emphasize that it’s a theory, though I know at least one of them explains that gravity is also a theory and that theories in science are essentially proven
I low key think that Traditional Chinese Medicine is going to be one of these things that gets “rediscovered”. Bring it up with anyone in the West and its “rhino horn” this and “tiger penis” that. But they never acknowledge that the first effective anti-malarial drug was discovered basically by referring to the herb used in a centuries old TCM treatment.
Western traditional medicine also had working stuff along with the poison, for example aspirin. So I’d have to hear more before believing Chinese traditional medicine isn’t also 98% trash
