Trump 2024. I put a million on the boss. I know he’s gonna secure it for America. The only presidential candidate that’s fit right for this country. 🇺🇸 I’ll be giving away $10,000 to 10 people who like this tweet and reply with a form of payment. ❤️

There it is: The hard truth: Americans don’t trust the news media, by Jeff Bezos "Most people believe the media is biased. Anyone who doesn’t see this is paying scant attention to reality, and those who fight reality lose. Reality is an undefeated champion."

@ylecun There’s plenty of evidence of some Haitians eating cats in Chile. Why would they do it in the US?

I'm old enough to remember that in France in the 1960s and 1970s, far-right chauvinists were accusing Portugese immigrants of eating cats. It's an old trope. Today, making such an accusation publicly against an ethnic group violates laws against "incitement to racial hatred" in most of Europe. You may get sued, get a fine, and get blocked from running for office. Elon and other American 1st Amendment maximalists will scream "tyranny!" But anti-hate speech laws are the way European countries have learned to protect themselves against fascist takeovers. And they sure know what they're talking about.

@ride6yuck @acnewsitics You do know that Haitians in Haiti eat cats and dogs? In Chile we had to pass a law that made it illegal to eat pets because of Haitian eating stray pets.

@acnewsitics Hopefully these imaginary people will eat trump so we can be through with this.

Wow! Trump is right, I just went to the 7-11 in Springfield, Ohio, to get some gas and a hot dog.

@Unexplained2020 Yeah no. None of the clinical examples you give has anything to do with consciousness being an outside thing. They actually prove the opposite.

Dr. Alexander asserts that despite our extensive knowledge of the brain's workings, it is not the producer of consciousness. This notion is supported by various clinical examples, including terminal lucidity, acquired savant syndrome, and hallucinogenic substance studies. Terminal lucidity, for instance, refers to the phenomenon where elderly patients with dementia exhibit increased reflectiveness and communication skills around the time of death. This is remarkable, as it suggests that consciousness can emerge independently of the brain's deteriorating condition. Similarly, acquired savant syndrome occurs when individuals with brain damage or disorders, such as autism, display extraordinary mental abilities, like superhuman memory or calculation skills. These cases challenge the idea that the brain is the sole generator of consciousness. Furthermore, studies using functional MRI (fMRI) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) have investigated the effects of hallucinogenic substances like psilocybin, DMT, and LSD on brain activity. Surprisingly, these studies reveal that the most profound conscious experiences are associated with reduced brain activity, not increased. This finding is consistent with Dr. Alexander's personal experience during a coma in 2008, where he experienced an explosion of vivid, ultra-real conscious awareness despite severe damage to his neocortex. Dr. Alexander emphasizes that the "hard problem of consciousness" cannot be solved by physicalism alone, which is the idea that consciousness arises solely from physical processes in the brain. He argues that we need to investigate beyond the physical brain to understand consciousness. This perspective is shared by Dr. Wilder Penfield, a prominent neurosurgeon, who concluded in his 1975 book "Mystery of the Mind" that the brain does not explain the mind, consciousness, free will, or memory storage. “We need to accept that full explanation of mind and consciousness must involve investigation beyond just the physical substance of the brain.”

This Top Neurosurgeon says Science Shows That the Brain does not Create Consciousness & That there is reason to believe Our consciousness Continues After Death: He reveals what happened when he ‘Died.’ Harvard neuroscientist Dr. Eben Alexander argues that there are no scientific or neurological explanations for his experience of the "afterlife." In 2008, Dr. Alexander with over 25 years of experience, fell into a coma caused by a severe strain of E. coli bacteria. His condition was so serious that doctors gave him less than a 10% chance of survival, and even if he did recover, they expected he would need lifelong care in a nursing home. However, he made a full recovery and described an extraordinary near-death experience (NDE) that occurred while his brain was completely inactive. He shared this experience in his book, Proof of Heaven, a bestseller. Before his NDE, Dr. Alexander had heard similar stories from patients but dismissed them as hallucinations. He admitted that he never seriously considered them, thinking they had no scientific basis. In Proof of Heaven, he acknowledges that he was wrong and criticizes those who ignore evidence of consciousness beyond the physical brain, calling them "willfully ignorant." It is a thread!

@bumblingbard42 @elonmusk In Chile you need an id to vote and you have to pay for the id. And we are much poorer than the US. And actually you have to vote, it’s mandatory.

Because not requiring ID, combined with mail in voting, makes it completely impossible to prove fraud (obviously)

@GoodPoliticGuy @douglaskarr So they should raise prices then?

@douglaskarr if your business relies on sub-livable wages then it’s not a legitimate business

one order of burger + fries runs you $15 at this place but they can’t pay workers $20 an hour y’all are just a criminal enterprise

@Raaheed_Rg @jjohnpotter Dude literally talks about suffering being a part of life in every other podcast. Have you ever listened to it or are you just repeating what other people say?

@jjohnpotter He lies, he lies so freaking much. How do you do Ayahuasca and not experience a single negative emotion throughout your trip? He is the worst love and light troupe I have ever seen. I hate people who don't acknowledge the darkness just to prove to everyone how much light they got

It’s really impressive he’s never deviated from his pretending to be an MIT professor pfp

@cybertruck @aaronjcash A group of cybertrucks is called an Armageddon

@aaronjcash Assembling a team

We are now up to 5 @cybertruck’s in my neighborhood now!

@JenWEsq @elonmusk @charliekirk11 Until there a wild fire and all that CO2 gets released in a few hours. It’s not a very robust solution although trees are part of the solution, we need other ways to capture CO2

@elonmusk @charliekirk11 You know what solves CO2 problems? Trees.

MUSK: "I should probably say something about my beliefs on climate change..they're probably different than most people assume. I'm a moderate. I don't think it's right to vilify oil and gas. If we over regulated it or ban it people would starve." "At the same time, we do over time want to move to a sustainable energy economy...but the risk is not as high as some people say it is." "If you get into the 1000 parts per million range it becomes hard to breathe. We're currently at 400 parts per million adding 2 parts per year. So we still have time. We don't need to stop farmers from farming."

@Mach7Matt You do realize when Elon amplifies something and gets community noted he is basically amplifying not the original message but the community note? The best way to stop misinformation is to spread the truth before the fake news. And Elon is doing precisely that albeit unintentional

My opinion means nothing here but that’s what Twitter is about so… I don’t hate anyone, hate is a personal emotion I don’t feel toward people I’ve never met. That being said, I really dislike who Elon has become, watching his fall has been extremely disappointing

@VladTheInflator @rajuvamsi007 Yeah just like the cybertruck…oh wait…

@rajuvamsi007 Like Tesla robotaxis and roadster for sure

@Drachs1978 @BenjaminDEKR I came for this exact comment. OP doesn’t know how inflation works.

Prices don't rise if you extract the value from someplace else with taxes. As long as taxes just moves money around, it doesn't cause inflation. It causes inflation only when the government invents money. Most of the pro ubi arguments are basically: Shutdown the wellfare state in favor of UBI and be money ahead due to reduced administrative costs. Shutting down the wellfare state would only cover about $400 a month, so the rest would need to come from taxes, or maybe limit UBI to the bottom 50% of earners.

Can someone explain why UBI wouldn't just become the de facto inflation level? Like, if you gave everyone $1,000 a month guaranteed, why **wouldn't** all prices just rise? If you get a "free $1,000" but your rent also goes up $1,000 (or food, etc) what is accomplished?

@BenjaminDEKR Giving people money doesn’t generate inflation. Printing money does. If you just use taxes money to do UBI you have no inflation.

@shawkisukkar @gdb My thoughts exactly

I’m taking a sabbatical through end of year. First time to relax since co-founding OpenAI 9 years ago. The mission is far from complete; we still have a safe AGI to build.

@Yoda4ever I’m a simple man. I see Chile I like.

@BillyM2k That’s Shotokan Karate not Taekwondo!

@Linda_Kentucky @TeslaAndDoge You do know gas pumps work on electricity right? If the Chinese attack the grid the best way to stay protected is to generate your own electricity with solar and an electric car. You are unfuckable with

@TeslaAndDoge Electric cars are pretty inside and out. They are also too expensive for the average person, there aren't enough charging stations to travel any distance, new batteries are very costly. If China attracts our power grid, we're parked with an ev. I won't buy 1.

What are your thoughts on this interior?

@ZaleskiLuke @elonmusk Yet you are the top comment. Weird….

I’d like to take a moment to thank the PM for informing the public that this platform is the only truthful one

@BrianRoemmele Basically his brain NN was quantized

90% Of His Brain Was Missing And He Did Not Know It — In 2007 in France, a 44-year-old man went to the doctor complaining of numbness in his leg and underwent a brain CT scan that revealed a shocking truth. That man didn't have 90% of his brain. The skull was almost entirely filled with cerebrospinal fluid and all that remained of the brain was a thin peripheral portion surrounding the skull. Yet that man, whose IQ was just below average (IQ 75), had been leading a normal life for years: he was married, had two children, a job and was obviously aware of himself, he moved, laughed, loved and ultimately he lived. The case shocked the world scientific community and was described in the prestigious Lancet journal, becoming the subject of questions and amazement. The evidence of the facts raised, as can easily be imagined, many questions about the very concept of consciousness, understood as "awareness of the self" and the possibility of leading a normal life practically without a brain. The patient's clinical history was reconstructed and it was discovered that he was born suffering from a form of hydrocephalus. For this reason, a few months before his life, a cerebral shunt was inserted into his skull, capable of draining excess cerebrospinal fluid. That shunt was removed at the age of 14 and the patient, after an initial series of problems that had caused paresis in his left leg, was eventually able to resume an almost normal life and had completely forgotten about the problem. Over the next 30 years, the liquor began to invade the skull again and progressively erode the brain (90% of the brain!), leading to that feeling of weakness in the leg which prompted the patient to undergo a medical examination. at the age of 44. But all this was not able to explain how the brain invaded by cerebrospinal fluid and eroded by 90% of its volume had "known" to recalibrate itself over the years, allowing him to lead a normal life anyway. Axel Cleeremans, a cognitive psychologist at the Université Libre of Brussels, Belgium, attempted to answer these questions in 2016 during a conference of the Association for Scientific Studies on Consciousness, held in Buenos Aires. According to Cleeremans, the case of the French patient had demonstrated the extraordinary "readaptation capacity" of the human brain. The frontal, parietal, temporal and occipital lobes of the brain, in fact, preside over the main cognitive and perceptive functions, yet in the patient they were practically completely absent and this demonstrated that the brain of that man - and therefore of every man - had been able to "move" those functions to the residual perimeter section of 10%. The second ability that was made evident by the clinical case under examination was the "plasticity of the brain". According to Cleeremans' hypothesis, "self-awareness" (or detailed self-cognition) is formed through experience, the relationship between oneself and the surrounding world and learning, and is subject to continuous modifications and adjustments in course of life. The case of the French man who lived a normal life until the age of 44 without 90% of his brain demonstrated to science a fact that had until then been unknown, namely that just 10% of the brain tissue is sufficient to re-elaborate a “theory of the self” and to make that person a man in all respects. We can’t even begin to know what we don’t know…
