What if consciousness isn't produced BY the brain but received BY it? This is so topical given developments in AI and talk of inter-dimensional beings, both of which are challenging what it means to be human. Our understanding of reality might be starting to converge. #Consciousness" sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/…

@bryan_johnson @MattWalshBlog Your contribution to science and our understanding of aging will go down in history, regardless of outcomes.

Matt who knows, I may even die early. If that happens, I hope you’ll enjoy. Regardless, my existence is devoted to the continuation of conscious life and the individual right to exist as long as they choose. The preciousness of our existence is incomprehensive to our current minds. The greatest aspiration of our time is to arrive at that realization.

No, sorry. You’re going to die. Very soon actually, in the grand scheme of things. You have several decades at most. In 70 or 80 years, tops, nobody reading these words right now will be alive. Most will not even be remembered. This fact is so terrifying to some people that they live every second in denial, clinging to the insane hope that somehow “science” will come along and rescue them from mortality. Even if it could — which it definitely can’t — then what? You live to watch all of your friends and loved ones die and even their tombstones decay while you linger on, trembling in fear and grasping desperately onto a life that, no matter how long it lasts, you’ve already wasted? And then you get to see the Earth decay around you and the Sun burn out ? Wow. Sounds like a lot of fun. But no thanks. I don’t need to live for a million years. I just want the time I have, however long or short, to be meaningful.

@GovNuclear Get an apprenticeship with one of the many organisations in the field.

What’s the best place to start your career in nuclear? 🤔

I'm living my 60th year and there’s not enough time in the day to play with all this stuff. In the last 24 hours I’ve edited my sister-in-law’s favourite park run photo, taken my son’s coaching video and turned it into a report, a visual and a quiz, rerun my financial dashboard and asked Grok/Claude dozens of questions. Your attitude is your limit, not your age.

I believe a 60 year old who masters AI tools will outperform a 25 year old who refuses to touch it. Age is not the variable. Willingness is.

@nikitabier Get your snout out of the trough, Nikita.

@PeterDiamandis It’s great advice, Peter, but that’s really hard for the majority of people who don’t have any savings because they’re just getting by. We desperately need a sensible way to distribute some of the wealth that will be generated from the coming wave of abundance.

You have to own something. W2 income will be a rounding error compared to asset appreciation in a 10x economy. Switch from earning to owning.  *NFA

@mike_matas @mgsiegler Why do legacy auto manufacturers give their EVs this weird modern aesthetic? It’s like a sulky teenager giving you the finger when forced to do something they don’t want to do.

Introducing Ferrari Luce, the first electric Ferrari designed by LoveFrom.

@SpaceX @ShanaDiez You can easily forget the scale of what you’re witnessing in this video. That thing is roughly 50m tall, 9m in diameter and has a dry weight of nearly 100 metric tons.

@GoingParabolic Are the Nordics included in the Gang of Four to make us humans feel more comfortable knowing that aliens who look like us are part of the galactic community?

Well there you have it. 4 crashed out UFO’s had these beings in them. Greys, Nordics (7 foot tall Swedes) insectoids and reptilians (Miami residents)

It beats the old 32.8°C from 1922 (Camden Square, central London) and 1944 (Horsham, Tunbridge Wells, Regent’s Park) — but at a completely different site. Heathrow is a busy airport with vast asphalt runways, concrete, jet engines, and urban heat island effects that reliably boost readings compared to more traditional or rural stations.

Temperatures at Heathrow have recently reached 33.5°C, provisionally beating the all-time May record

A great British success story flying under the radar, as usual.

@lukas_m_ziegler And if you live in the UK and you’re not on X, you’ll never have heard of this great British company.

BIT DELAYED: Humanoid just added Bosch to its partner list, and this two-year-old British startup is now backed by the full weight of German industrial manufacturing. In the last few weeks alone: → Binding deal with Schaeffler for 1,000+ robots in live manufacturing, with a seven-digit actuator supply agreement implying 100,000 robots over five years → Bosch signed as contract manufacturing partner for the entire European market → Siemens partnership also announced last month Founded in 2024. Three of Germany's most powerful industrial giants in its corner by 2026. The Bosch proof of concept is telling. HMND 01 robots autonomously handled five sizes of boxes across multiple footprints, heights and weights — in a live Bosch intralogistics facility in Bühl, Germany. Not a lab. Not a demo. A real facility. And the CEO of @TheHumanoidAI answer to why wheeled humanoids beat cobots and industrial robots is worth reading slowly: "The world is already built for humans. A humanoid form lets robots operate in existing environments without redesigning infrastructure." That is the whole thesis. In one sentence. A two-year-old startup. Bosch. Schaeffler. Siemens. Live deployments before the end of 2026. Don't sleep on European robotics. 🇬🇧🇩🇪 Apologies for 'BIT DELAYED' instead of 'JUST IN' but I'm on vacation and enjoy NYC :) Read more here: therobotreport.com/humanoid-partn… ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news → ziegler.substack.com

@SpaceX @Starlink SpaceX launches are more reliable than trains in the UK, these days.

@Polymarket Sam Altman is going to be really annoyed he missed out on that deal.

@timburchett @realDonaldTrump Are the Nordics included in the gang of four to reassure humanity that someone who looks like us is already part of the galactic community?

The truth is @realDonaldTrump wants total disclosure but the Deep State is trying to block him. My money is on Trump.

@HuntingtonJoel @RedNeckPapa6291 Better than any amusement park ride, for sure, and like you said worth the ticket price alone.

@LookingUpStill @RedNeckPapa6291 It’s gonna feel fkn wild man. 10/10. Will book a trip just for this.

New views of landing on Starship Flight 11!

@uap_news Anyone who’s shocked at this point must have been living under a rock for the last couple of months.

🚨 ONTOLOGICAL SHOCK ALERT🚨 The White House is actively preparing to confirm that extraterrestrial life is here on Earth and they're already consulting with religious leaders to handle the public fallout. The administration is seeking advice on how to break the news that "We Are Not Alone" without triggering a societal meltdown. Why the decades of secrecy? Coulthart claims military and intelligence agencies refuse to admit that a higher power is actually in control. Government officials are being warned to manage this honestly, or face "catastrophic disclosure." To add fuel to the fire, Hollywood creator Brent Friedman claims a Reagan-era Energy Secretary was allegedly left weeping for his daughters' future after learning the core secret. Buckle up. The truth might not just be out there, it might be coming to light very soon. 🛸

@Mylovanov @paulg Is this scary future closer than we would like to think? youtu.be/TlO2gcs1YvM?si…

Petraeus: Ukraine went from 3.5M drones last year to 7M this year. If it finds enough pilots, it can reach 20,000 drones a day. Next come truly autonomous systems and drone swarms — and the West does not really have a solution yet.
