Truths, bolted together, can build a story to the heavens. Sustaining those truths can be quite laborious, each nut and bolt torqued by hand. Take time to nourish your soul…check your logic, question your intuitions. One nut, one bolt, one true story…..built on any faultline.

@sheddy_memes I’m a third generation ironworker, I started the business in the hot July summer. After two weeks my whole life made sense, came home one day, “we’re good Dad, I understand now, no hard feelings”……..

Forgive your dad. He was learning, too.

@reedbndr I can’t wait ! It’s not @Greenthumb891 for nothing.

everyone’s about to find out they love gardening

@suzannegildert Very cool 😎

Happy to report that Nirvanic's scientific roadmap continues and there's still lots going on! We've just been in stealth mode a bit lately due to planning some new quantum AI concepts... More updates soon.

@nft_atmosphere @evan_mcgl Glad I’m not the only one 😂

@evan_mcgl They serve two purposes for me. Education and ASMR. Cause no other voice knocks me out faster :)

These lectures are biology canon

“Do not use your energy to worry. Use your energy to believe, to create, to learn, to think and to grow.”

@Johnny2Fingersz No I get lost pretty quick

@Greenthumb891 Do you know how to vibe code

Not sure why I’m typing this, guess I just have to say it out loud….I hope one day I have the confidence to try out ideas I have in my mind, in reality. I say ‘reality’ because outside of this place I succumb to the idea that my thoughts are delusional, and I’m reaching for something that’s impossible for a guy like myself. I always think there’s going to be someone that comes along and helps sell my ideas better than I can, or is more qualified to bring it about….It’s self defeating, but the truth. I’m use to failing, but I’ve grow tired of attempting new things in the same environment I’ve consistently failed in……And everything in me says it’s impossible, and it’s time to give up thinking about it…

@parmita @AlisonbobEth What an incredible read, truly inspiring

Here’s what nobody tells you: Your cancer has metabolic vulnerabilities, chemical quirks, drug sensitivities that are UNIQUE to your tumor. no one ever looks for them. the system doesn’t yet have a way to watch your living cells respond to drugs in real time. only we do.

I just asked myself the most important question I’ve ever asked. What if, god forbid, I had cancer right now? How would I save my life and would I be able to do it without Precigenetics? The answer made me cry. Here’s EXACTLY how I would save my own life TODAY. 🧵

Right on schedule then……🤔

@WilliamJMcCart7 🤙🏻

@Greenthumb891 Keep at it, Mike, your journey is inspiring and all of us stumble through this life brother, and we have lots of company along the way we didn't know were on the same road, peace

@TelepathicPug Truth is always quicker

@Greenthumb891 Real

@IrreplaceableHQ That’s a good way to frame it. I like that.

@Greenthumb891 Ideas usually aren't unique, but perspective is always 100% yours, and that's worth a lot

New preprint, memory in Xenobots! First round of our efforts to understand behavioral properties of novel beings (Xenobots, Anthrobots, and more). @pai_vaibhav , James A. Traer, Megan M. Sperry, Yuxin Zheng biorxiv.org/content/10.648… "Behavioral, Physiological, and Transcriptional Mechanisms of Memory in a Synthetic Living Construct" "Synthetic living constructs, which lack the long histories of selection in ecological contexts that shape behaviors of conventional organisms, offer an important complement to traditional studies of learning. Could novel biobots exhibit sensing and memory of experiences? Here, we investigated the effects of chemical stimuli on basal Xenobots – autonomously motile entities derived from Xenopus embryonic ectodermal explants (with no additional sculpting or bioengineering). We quantified and characterized the coordinated ciliary activity that generates fluid flow fields guiding the trajectory of Xenobot motion. We also show distinct and specific changes in Xenobot behavior after brief exposure to Xenopus embryonic cell extract and to ATP. These two experiences produced distinct, long-term, stimulus-specific memories, detectable through both transcriptional and physiological signatures. Exposure to specific environmental stimuli induced alterations in the spatiotemporal patterns of calcium signaling across Xenobots. Together, these data lay a foundation for characterizing the capabilities of synthetic cellular collectives to sense and discriminate among stimuli, as well as store functional information in a non-neural context. Understanding behavioral competencies in novel, non-neural systems have broad implications across evolutionary biology, behavioral science, bioengineering, and bio/hybrid robotics."

Ever wonder what a nervous system would look like if it self-assembled inside a novel being that hadn't faced a history of selection for its organism-level form and function? Or, perhaps you wondered how #Xenobots would look and act, or what their transcriptome would be like, if they had nervous systems?
