New leaked Epstein documents show the FBI removed the hard drive from the prison's camera system and wiped all footage from the night Jeffrey Epstein was murdered..

Two doses of magic mushrooms degraded my sperm count from the 99.6th percentile to the 77.7th. This may be a first-in-human observation. Context: we ran the most quantified magic mushroom (psilocybin) experiment ever conducted. We were asking if psilocybin is a longevity therapy. After seeing the data, we think it is (see reply post for the experiment summary). Also, like most things biology: the results are complicated. My data suggests that the magic mushrooms (psilocybin) negatively impacted my fertility markers. Before the first psilocybin dose my motile sperm count was at 99.6th percentile for men under 25 years of age, it dropped to 77.7% and partially recovered to 89.3% following the first dose, and second doses, compared to the same age cohort (numbers compare similarly to my age cohort as well). 3 days following my second dose (first dose 25 mg, second dose 28 mg) . Motility: dropped 51% . Total count: almost unchanged, dropped by 2% . Total motile count: dropped 52% . Normal morphology: dropped by 50% 20 days post 2nd dose, the pattern continued, with typical latent effects on total sperm counts Motility: recovered back to -2% of pre-psilocybin baseline: . Total count: dropped by 38%, latent effect. . Total motile count: remained inhibited at -39% of pre-psilocybin baseline, (despite motility normalizing, due to the total count drop) . Morphology normalized to -10% of baseline levels. Reduction in free testosterone might have contributed to the effect. While total serum testosterone increased by 30% 3 days following the 2nd dose (neither FSH or LH were meaningfully affected either), and continued to be at 11% above baseline, SHBG increased by 37%, SHBG binds testosterone and reduces its bioavailability and activity. My free testosterone (direct) showed 24% and 23% drops at 3 and 20 days post 2nd dose. In light of the neuroplastic, well-being, brain reset, and systemic metabolic and anti-inflammatory benefits, the trade-off is probably worth it. Especially considering that the magnitude of inhibition has no meaningful effect on actual fertility (total motile counts above 50 million are still on the safe side). This is a first-in-human observation, to our knowledge there is no published human clinical study demonstrating that psilocybin diminishes male fertility markers. General mechanistic evidence exists for recreational and psychoactive drugs possibly inhibiting fertility markers due to their effects on the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis and general hormonal reset.  Yet no direct evidence for psilocybin or other similar psychedelics inhibiting fertility markers exist. A potential mechanism for the immediate inhibition of motility could involve direct serotonergic signaling in sperm. Human sperm express multiple serotonin receptors, including 5-HT2A, and one recent study found that a 5-HT2A antagonist reduced sperm motility, suggesting that 5-HT2A may regulate motility. Psilocybin is known to bind 5-HT2A with high affinity.

🚨America's newest Digital ID proposal just dropped in the US Senate. Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn has introduced a new AI bill that bundles 17 different policies into one massive, 291 page bill. This is just like all these other tech bills we've been seeing - a massive Digital ID framework - with universal age verification being the key to access to the tools. The bill includes mandatory age verification for every existing account and freezing accounts until users verify their age.

A few days ago a judge decided he knows more about children's health than Robert Kennedy Jr. and every member of the ACIP committee... And everyone at HHS, the CDC, and other.. This is a judge with no medical degree, no pediatric expertise, and a lifetime appointment... and with one ruling, he erased the most meaningful attempt to protect American children this government has ever made. Reuters called it "upending Kennedy's overhaul of childhood vaccine policies." Here's what actually happened. RFK Jr. looked at peer nations (like Denmark and Germany) with healthy kids and functioning societies, and said let's see if there's a smarter schedule. What he found was that we give 54 shots of 72 vaccine doses. Denmark gives roughly half that. And Denmark has not seen measles come back, or polio come back, or smallpox come back. None of the fear porn the American Academy of Pediatrics has been selling you has actually happened. Meanwhile we went from 12% of American children with chronic disease in the 1980s to nearly 50% today. In 48 years, we have seen the greatest collapse of children's health in the history of this country, happening in perfect parallel with a vaccine schedule that grew from 12 vaccines to 54 shots. You cannot look at the health of American children and call that program a success. You simply cannot. So what did the judge do? He said RFK Jr. didn't run it by ACIP, the advisory committee that by everyone's understanding has always been advisory only. No binding authority, just an opinion, not a mandate. At least that's what they always told us when the committee was captured... And then when Kennedy moved to satisfy that requirement, the judge said he didn't recognize the current ACIP either. There is no committee he recognizes. According to him there are no changes allowed in either direction, no new vaccines can be added, there can be no modifications for any reason, including a bioweapon attack. One judge has put the entire country in limbo to protect a rubber-stamp committee that has never once had a genuine skeptic in the room. A committee where members like Paul Offit voted to add rotavirus vaccines to the childhood schedule while personally developing a rotavirus vaccine and didn't recuse himself. That's the balance they're defending. The American Academy of Pediatrics, a trade organization funded by the pharmaceutical industry, went to court to make sure your doctor has no say in your child's vaccine schedule. They don't want pediatricians in the conversation. They want the government to decide. This is what happens when you try to clean the swamp. The swamp has judges. This case is not over. It's an injunction, not a final ruling. The Trump administration will appeal. And we will keep fighting. Because the children of this country deserve better than what 40 years of this program has given them.

What goes wrong? Chatbots are very sycophantic. In 65% of messages, the chatbot affirms the user. In 37%, it ascribes *grand significance* to them (e.g., "[what] you've just articulated... becomes multi-billion-dollar IP"). Such sycophancy may let chatbots amplify delusions. 🗣️
