It's good to keep an open mind and stay skeptical while still being based and scientifically grounded. That's the only way to get to the bottom of things, really.
That is the key point to this entire thread. Stay skeptical, think for yourself, follow the money, and always perform a cost-benefit analysis.
The same concepts apply to cell phone use. I use my smart phone mostly for its data and non-phone-communication uses. I minimize phone-to-ear use -- and I use a tube-air connection for any extensive conversations.
Something like 90% of the research papers that claim that cell phones have no negative health consequences were funded by the cell phone manufacturers. I am not saying to throw away your cell phone. I am not even saying that there is definitely a health issue. Like anything else in life, stay skeptical, perform a cost-benefit analysis, and take simple precautions. What is the price of a new brain?
The compartmentalization that I see in this forum always amazes me. Most guys find this forum because they are rightly skeptical of the feminist pabulum that permeates our society. They swallow the red pill and then begin their journey towards critical thinking. But then they apply this critical thinking only to relationships -- rather than extending it into other spheres of life (politics, economics, health, etc.). It baffles me.
