It is difficult to appreciate how ubiquitous swastikas are in the Buddhist world until you go there and see them everywhere. I have no doubt that this was an innocent decision.

With a bit of context it's usually easy to figure out the missing parts
Imagine a continuous colour wheel. Most people from the same culture today will draw the same boundaries between colors. Red, purple, blue, green, etc. What is to say these boundaries are objective? If in our own language red through orange was once referenced with a single word, why shouldn't red through blue have a single name in ancient Greek?
The show was recently cancelled because someone who was on the show committed suicide. This was clearly because of a false lie detector result which said he cheated on his partner.
In all the media frenzy around the incident, I didn't see a single source mention that lie detectors are unproven bullshit. I don't understand how otherwise normal people believe we live in a world where reliable lie detectors exist (the effects of this would of course be world changing).
I feel that's a very presumptuous and patronising thing to say. People leave suicide notes not because they want help, but because they want people to understand what they're going through. We yearn for this sort of intellectual connection even after the wish to stay alive has disappeared.
This is common knowledge in the drugs community and harm reduction sources frequently quote the 3 month thing, although I'm not sure where it originally came from.
