If all you read is the headline below, and you were an anti-nuke Luddite, you might think that radiation created these “Super Pigs.”.

As you get into the story, though, you find this could happen anywhere that livestock and wildlife meet and are sufficiently alike genetically to produce fertile offspring. This could have…[Read more]

I don’t think they are hiding it as AI.

Some good news: Members of MAGA who supported war with the Mullahs are starting to share the rational critique that Trump has botched it and hasn’t achieved any of his professed goals:

That woman’s not “locally real”, including her semi-bull frog voice. I was waiting for her to jump out of her lock box in the demolished building, grab her top hat and cane, and start singing “Hello, My Baby”, “The Michigan Rag”, “Come Back To Erin”, and “Figaro.”

Seriously though i gotta listen to that one again.

If only…

Humanists ought to be concerned about humans regardless of their national origin, ancestry or religion. What can we do to promote individual freedoms and rights? How do we protect people? Accident of one’s birth into some Islamic hell hole or Hindu or fill in the blank should not be the reason…[Read more]

A person has dignity, legal protection, bodily safety, freedom of conscience, and freedom of expression. A belief has no skin to bruise, no liberty to imprison, no mouth to silence, and no claim to immunity from scrutiny.

You have rights; your beliefs do not.

If it’s any assurance, (and I say this as someone who has had off-grid fantasies and who is ambivalent about AI):

The prognostication of the Criswellian can only accurately be a trade-off Sowellian,
But with volitional cogitation and mastication, the trade-off need not be Cromwellian nor Orwellian.

You are spot on that modernity has delivered a lot of upgrades.

On other hand how much better are the masses today compared to yesteryear? I don’t have answers to that question. It is easy to point to the Islamic world as backwards and filled with oppression and persecution. Wars all over the fucking glob. Starvation. Famine. Ignorance. I…[Read more]

Of course, back in the day of the Luddites, people lived multiple generations, and with multiple species of farm animals, under one roof, with everyone sharing the same dressing, eating, sleeping, and (where available) hygienic space. Urination and defecation were done in outdoor Water Closets (again, where available) or…[Read more]

You’re probably in a bucolic paradise where the immediacy and rapidity of incipient technohell is a little removed. AKA Vermont.

I aint arguing that it can be stopped. Am only crying the blues up and down at a future that might have been avoided by a stronger Luddite movement. Naa no stopping the tide…

We have been becoming more and more visible via electronic mechanisms over the years, and eventually we will have to learn to live with this. Tin foil hats probably won’t help.

Experts raise eyebrows over ‘Swiss cheese’ NY Times report claiming US, Israel eyed freeing Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to be Iran’s new leader

Switching the Ayatollahs with Ahmadinejad is decidedly not regime change, it’s just cutting off a few heads of the hydra while leaving the beast alive to grow yet more heads and to sharpen it’s claws and gargle some more gasoline. If Trump doesn’t comprehend that, Bibi definitely should.

Hoping I’m proven wrong and this story is…[Read more]

I hope the NYT story is just an AI hallucination, but knowing Trump’s delusional behavior especially in his second term, and how so called “Realpolitik” make people do strange things, I can’t help but wonder.

How rare is intelligence? I mean general intelligence. The ideological capture of so many academics, the presidents of universities, the students. The underlying narratives are so weak and transparent.

Zionism is the code word for Filthy Jew and its associations.

Mushrooms and blue cheese vodka are part of the MAHA formulary, especially if the blue cheese is unpasteurized. Licking the Giant Gila Monster would also be a prescribed MAHA regimen. All of these make for vivid hallucinations.

Here is what the future of MAHA could mean for healthcare, although we have also experienced it too many times in the past. Fast forward to 49:45 and watch to 54:20:

Yes, I think a model should be “thorough” as well as “fundamental”.  Some fundamental elements are not just individisible particles – they’re also structural factors, for example, that form the fabric of reality.  So, the fundamental constants of the unive…[Read more]
