Excited to share our study by @keylas3 et al. on pathological autoantibodies in people with Long COVID. We asked whether IgG in patients with Long COVID bind to human tissues/antigens and cause pathologies when transferred into mice. With @PutrinoLab doi.org/10.1016/j.cell…

@Neuroscope_mp @nicknorwitz This gene edit is basically mimicking a “proven safe by nature” variant." basically is doing a whole lot of work there

@nicknorwitz Excellent thread — love the clear delivery + realistic caveats. One key point that makes this even more promising ...people born with natural PCSK9 loss-of-function mutations have been living with ~60-80% lower LDL their entire lives and show significantly reduced heart disease with no apparent downsides. This gene edit is basically mimicking a “proven safe by nature” variant. And I want to stress the fact that this is "ONLY" for high-risk patients and not for everyone. The FDA is also watching the trial and patients for 15 years (minimum) before approving the next phase. I broke it down in detail (with the human genetic data) here if you want the full picture x.com/Neuroscope_mp/…

Will This Gene Editing Breakthrough Eliminate Heart Disease? (And what everyone is missing) 1/6) A massive new study in the New England Journal of Medicine just broke the internet, showing that gene editing lowered LDL cholesterol by 62%. The reactions have been wildly polarized: • “We’re curing heart disease with one shot” • “This is reckless sci-fi nonsense” But almost everyone is missing the bigger story.

this sh*t isn’t even funny anymore. it’s a trillion dollar embarrassment.

The Democratic Party is unpopular because we had a party that supported the genocide in Gaza, foreign wars, the hollowing out of industrial towns, and we allowed wealth to be hoarded in the hands of the few.

@KenDBerryMD he doesnt look at all healthy to me. nor can he be: Obsessing over ones health is far far from true health.

Am I the only one who thinks Bryan Johnson is just a healthy 48 year old who looks his age??

@WallStreetApes The 9/11 Commission Report, which is the most authoritative account of the attacks, explicitly states that “One consular officer issued visas to 11 of the 19 hijackers.” That officer was a State Department consular official, not John Brennan.

WOAH 🚨 Former Director of the CIA John Brennan “issued the Visas to 15 of the 19 September 11 hijackers” AGAIN: 15 out of the 19 Visas issued to the 9/11 hijackers were issued by the man who would become Director of the CIA - John Brennan was the CIA daily intelligence briefer for President Bill Clinton - In 1996, he was CIA station chief in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia - John Brennan issued passports to 9/11 hijackers - John Brennan becomes Director of the CIA What are the odds??? You can verify that he was in a position to influence all of this In 1996, Brennan was the CIA Station Chief in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia Visas for the hijackers were issued by US State Department consular officers at US embassies and consulates in Saudi Arabia The CIA worked hand in hand with the state department But the “coincidences” don’t stop there As Station Chief, Brennan managed the CIA’s close and criticized relationship with Saudi intelligence services during a period when al-Qaeda was rising Many people and even former officials have alleged that the US intelligence community, including Brennan’s station, downplayed warnings about Osama bin Laden and Islamist extremism in the late 1990s Inside job

BRYAN JOHNSON: “I think a lot of people would want to exist [forever] if… society was not so brutal.” SKEPTIC: “What have you done to change those brutal conditions in society? You spend $2 million every year trying to look younger. And honestly, YOU LOOK YOUR AGE.” “So what are you doing to make humanity better, really, other than pursuing your own vanity?” Watch how Bryan answers that question, and how the woman instantly pushes back.

CEOs are quietly realizing the AI replacement plan has a problem. Two problems, actually. One: the token costs for running AI agents are now exceeding what they were paying the employees they fired. Two: when the tokens run out, the AI stops. Just stops. No continuity. No workaround. Just a spinning wheel where your workforce used to be. You fired humans to save money and bought a subscription that bills you into a corner. The employees you let go knew what to do when things broke. The AI just invoices you for the outage. And then there’s the permission problem nobody wants to talk about. To do its job, the AI agent needs access. Full access. Your systems, your patents, your contracts, your future plans. Everything you spent years building, handed over to a process that has no loyalty, no discretion, and no skin in the game. You didn’t hire a replacement. You gave a stranger with no soul the keys to everything you own. Enjoy.

@SantiagoAuFund it is dying alright, just as all currencies do. charts.bitbo.io/dollar-devalua…

Might make a coffee table book featuring screenshots of all the books, newsletters, blogposts, and tweets from the usual suspects predicting the death of the dollar every year since the time I was born.

@beinlibertarian wait, what?

Trusting the government is like…

Carlos Whittaker did a 7.5-week no-screen experiment and the results are wild. No phone. No TV. No laptop. No watch. Nothing. He even got his brain scanned before and after by a neuroscientist. The outcome? His cerebellum healed years worth of damage in just seven weeks. His cognitive memory score jumped from the 50th percentile to the 99th percentile of adult men in America. He said he felt like a completely different human, sharper, clearer, more alive. This one stopped me in my tracks. I’ve been feeling the scroll fatigue hard lately, and hearing someone actually measure the difference with real brain scans is next-level motivating. Our constant screen exposure might be doing more quiet damage to our brains than we realize. Sometimes the simplest reset (doing less) creates the biggest upgrade. Have you ever done a serious digital detox? Would you try one this extreme?

Massive bombshell. Prominent Daniel McAdams exposes possible mail-in ballot fraud in Massie's primary. He reveals 45,000 new voters inexplicably exclusively voted for the establishment. Massie lost by 10,280 votes while his opponent miraculously received 10,854 mail-in ballots!

There are 22 million healthcare workers in America. And I think we just realized how powerful we could become if we stopped letting ourselves stay divided. Something happened in DC this week that was bigger than politics, bigger than titles, and bigger than any one specialty. For the first time in a long time, I sat in rooms with nurses, techs, therapists, physicians, and healthcare workers across every part of medicine, and nobody cared what letters were behind our names. We were united by the same reality: The healthcare system is failing both patients and the people trying to care for them. For years, healthcare workers have been separated into categories, hierarchies, societies, and specialties. But sitting together this week, it became impossible not to ask the question: Why have we been kept so separate? Because divided people are easier to silence and control. But there are 22 million of us. Twenty two million people who see what is happening inside hospitals, clinics, operating rooms, and patient rooms every single day. You can call me whatever you want, but I’m not showing up as “just” a doctor anymore. I’m showing up as a healthcare worker, proud to stand alongside my colleagues at every stage of healthcare. I’m done asking permission to advocate for patients and for the future of healthcare. We know these problems because we are the ones living them. And when healthcare workers unite instead of staying divided, we become something incredibly powerful. Thank you @wearfigs for bringing healthcare workers together in DC this week and helping spark conversations and advocacy that felt bigger than any one title or profession. This is how we change healthcare. Together.

@LightHouseTVnl early data out of Norway so far disputes any increase in cancers

Professor Angus Dalgleish: “mRNA vaccines are causing turbo cancers” The British professor of oncology worked with Anthony Fauci, served on the NHS advisory board, and has treated cancer patients for more than 40 years. Today, he has become one of the most outspoken critics of the COVID response and the rollout of mRNA injections. In conversation with Flavio Pasquino, he discusses excess mortality, turbo cancers, alternative cancer treatments, and why he says: “This is Nuremberg Tribunal stuff.” How much of his claims hold up and what evidence does he present?

Sam Altman: “A kid born today will never be smarter than AI.” They are framing humanity as inferior to AI so they can rewire our society and usher in their AI mass surveillance dystopia. AI is not superior to humanity. It is fake. We are real. We must always put humanity first.

Absolute bombshell. Prof. Rowlands confirms global power has completely shifted from sovereign states to a few tech billionaires. She exposes how elites secretly embed their own agendas into AI to build a terrifying new digital imperium to dominate humanity.

@MillieMarconnni link?

A mathematician at Bell Labs noticed that the scientists who won Nobel Prizes and the ones who never amounted to anything were equally smart, equally hardworking, and equally credentialed, and the only thing that separated them was a single question almost nobody is brave enough to ask themselves before they die. His name was Richard Hamming. He spent 30 years at Bell Labs, in the same building as John Tukey, Walter Brattain, and a long list of physicists who took home Nobel prizes for work they did down the hall from his office, including the legendary Claude Shannon. His invention of error-correcting codes made modern computing possible. He has won the Turing Award. And all the while he was creating his own legacy he was secretly doing a study on the people around him. The study was straightforward. 2 Teams. The legends and the lost. Same I.Q.s. Degrees same. Same desk hours. Same access to the world’s best resources. And yet, at the end of 40 years in their careers, one group had changed entire fields, and the other group could not be remembered by their own colleagues five years after retirement. He wanted to discover what the actual difference was. In March 1986, he stood before 200 researchers in a Bellcore auditorium and told them what he had seen. He said it all came down to one question. And hardly anyone he ever met was willing to ask it directly. He called it the Friday-afternoon ritual. He spent years blocking out his Friday afternoons and not doing anything productive with them every week. No experiments. No meetings. No deliverables. He called it Great Thoughts Time. He sat down with a notebook and asked himself a couple of questions in order. What are the most relevant problems in my discipline? And why I am not working on either of them.” Most weeks, the answer was the same, he said. For a week now he had marched confidently in a direction he did not think was the most important direction. He was a goer. He worked a bit. He was getting clean results that would publish in respected journals. ( And for five days straight he'd been lying to himself about whether any of it mattered. The reason almost nobody does this ritual is because the honest answer is unbearable. The thing is that if you sit down on a Friday afternoon and say out loud that you are not working on the most important problem in your field, now you have to do something about it. You have an immediate change in direction, or you have to keep lying to yourself every week from that point on. Most people choose the lie. In the short term it’s cheaper, but over a career it’s more expensive. Hamming took the ritual a step further in the Bell Labs cafeteria. He began approaching scientists he barely knew, asking them what they thought the most important problems in their field were. A week later he would ask them why they had not worked on these problems. Eventually people wouldn't have lunch with him. “I had to keep finding new tables,” he said. Nobody had a good answer for that, and being around someone who kept asking it made every meal feel like a performance review. The line that broke me is the line that most people skim over in the transcript. His words: If you do not work on an important problem you are unlikely to do important work. That’s not motivational line. It is a rational one. You cannot make a great result from a problem that does not matter. Input restricts the output. The choice of the problem is the ceiling of the career. The transcript has been freely available on the internet for almost 40 years. Stripe Press published the complete lectures as a book. Naval Ravikant quotes it all the time. It’s still given out to new hires at every serious engineering lab in Silicon Valley. Most people will not run the ritual this Friday. They will be busy. They always are.

@ricwe123 link to the full debate?

It’s deeply satisfying to watch the narratives pushed by Mike Pompeo and Victoria Nuland completely unravel the moment they’re forced to face the hard facts laid out by Stephen Walt and John Mearsheimer. Their talking points immediately collapse under scrutiny because their bullshit rhetoric can not survive contact with reality.

@TPV_John so far the market doesnt beleive this to be true.

In other words…It’s not going to happen until Israel says so… Which, may never happen.

@HighWireTalk wait, what? that is prescribing without a license and it is illegal

Utah has entered a one-year agreement with telehealth company Legion Health to pilot an AI chatbot that prescribes psychiatric medication. As part of the agreement, the state's Department of Commerce is waiving professional licensing requirements and forgoing enforcement for the duration of the program, provided the company follows existing telehealth rules. The first 250 refill requests must be reviewed by a licensed physician before reaching the pharmacy. The next 1,000 undergo retrospective review, meaning a clinician looks at them after the fact. After those first 1,250 refills, the AI takes full control with no human review required for the remainder of the year. Dr. John Torous, Director of the Digital Psychiatry Division at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, said basic research has not been conducted before this launch. He questioned whether patients or clinicians actually want this, whether it will be useful, and where it may or may not work. Those questions are not being answered before the program goes live. As you may have guessed, they are being answered by running it on real patients in real time, with a regulator that has agreed in advance not to enforce its own licensing standards.
