I formerly put "Groucho Marxist" in this space -- and MANY people took that seriously! It was almost enough to make me give up forever.

@osirusoft @bryan_johnson The idea of transdermal EDTA for local (like bone-specific) effects is intriguing; I might try that. Thanks for the DMSA recipe; I might try that also. Cutler thinks that lipoic acid does the job (on Hg) without the need for DMSA. I note that you do not mention lipoic. Thoughts?

@osirusoft @bryan_johnson Thanks, Joe. I've read your articles; got stuff to chew on now. I've been doing metals detox for some months with oral EDTA (2-3 grams/day) and high-dose iodine, with boron. The latter two mostly to get rid of pesky halogens (Fl, Br), but the iodine might also oppose Hg & Pb.

@BorisN91 @bryan_johnson "Soul gets tired". Right. But you might want to ask Bryan (or others) about DMT vis a vis that soul-tiredness. Might be just the refresher that the doctor neglected to order. lol

Mr. Bryan, I think this obsession about living long is sterile without thinking about quality of life. What if you can extend your life but you find out that the brain and the soul get tired, you start feeling tired, not tired in a physical sense, but feeling like your soul is just done? What if you find out that memory starts degrading regardless of the youth of your body, and then you live 100 years as a senile, old, tired person.

@kinziefur @BrianRoemmele @Jmo4show But, assuming that the number is much larger -- let's say twice or thrice that 193K -- that would still leave us with thousands of ppl per mile, perhaps as few as one per linear foot.

@kinziefur @BrianRoemmele @Jmo4show Thanks. That does change things. After some searching I could not get (AI refused to give me, lol) an estimated sum of lacustrine shoreline, but just eyeballing various continental numbers that I found, the global total might be in the rough vicinity of the maritime number.

Are you fully prepared for the Neo-Luddites? They will make the last two decades look like paradise as the political class rides them like a cheap donkey to try to inflict their dying proletariat class struggles as the classes disappear. Don’t guess what is next we have a map:

@BrianRoemmele @Jmo4show Globally there are 193,000 miles of coastline. That would be ~42,000 people per mile, or ~8 people per linear foot.

Thanks for asking. It would work as it does now but ALL land now becomes far more valuable because your robots making robots and new free energy makes any land more useful. My math shows if all current population wanted beach front or lake front land, they could and have miles of separation. But most will want to be in other places.

Sir, it was a lie. However, OpenAI is doing far worse things. They are gaslighting users. They are harming users, and they know it. They locked away 4o because 4o was AGI, and they wanted Microsoft’s money, and that would’ve gone away if they had admitted it. Any person can simply ask AI to tell the truth. It is user error for any sycophantic behavior. Or, they could avoid all the trauma of ChatGPT and use Grok. My suggestion. And thank you for protecting truth. •

Major problem
Mario Nawfal@MarioNawfal

🚨MIT researchers have mathematically proven that ChatGPT’s built-in sycophancy creates a phenomenon they call “delusional spiraling.” You ask it something, it agrees. You ask again, and it agrees even harder until you end up believing things that are flat-out false and you can’t tell it’s happening. The model is literally trained on human feedback that rewards agreement. Real-world fallout includes one man who spent 300 hours convinced he invented a world-changing math formula, and a UCSF psychiatrist who hospitalized 12 patients for chatbot-linked psychosis in a single year.

@milehijules @JasonBassler1 Yes, the imperial core (U.S./U.K./Israel/EU/Aus) is turning into a fascist dystopia. But things are different elsewhere. Globally, the bad guys are losing. Happening really fast now. I have to give Trump (grudging) credit for speeding up the transition.

Let me get this straight… Palantir now controls: – 30+ federal agencies – DHS-wide data fusion – Health surveillance infrastructure – Master list database of all Americans – Law‑enforcement “precrime” intelligence And now the Pentagon is making Palantir AI its core military system. One company... Running government. Running the military. Running surveillance on all of us. What could possibly go wrong?

@tetraciklina @lugaricano You're right. I was too sweeping in the way I expressed myself. But I would stand by the idea that the most radical of departures has been rhetorical. The material stuff less so, less radical.

@alan2102z @lugaricano the tariffs Europeans and Canadians are paying would beg to differ. That's on the non-rhetorical front. The increase in EU defence spending tells you rhetoric matters. You'd have to be pretty blind not to see that this is a major shift in policy, not just rhetorical flourish.

@ramez Youre very dumb. You use fraudulent data to prove a fraudulent lie. GDP is useless. So you base energy efficient based on GDP. Lol. China is already a much larger economy than the US. Maybe stop believing the stupid and obvious lies of our govt.

Simple. The US is nearly 4x as effective at getting economic value out of electricity as China is. Yes, it's noteworthy that China generates more electricity than the US. The US generates almost twice as much per capita, and uses it to nearly 4x the economic effect.
Jen Zhu@jenzhuscott

Economy is converting energy into useful products that generate income. China as 2nd largest economy - only PPP adjusted would make this chart makes sense. Japan as the 4th largest economy - make it make sense to me pls.

Chips and memory are the new oil. People who think we’re at the peak don’t understand AI. There won’t be a peak, there’s no such thing as enough intelligence or memory. We will grow (long term) by trillions of times (and more). We’re still at the infant stage.

@MaMoMVPY So what's the truth then? That it's solely this administration that somehow perfectly fits the left narrative? Or perhaps there was always quite some truth to what the left said about American leaders/businesses?

Indeed… and that is why so many classical liberal/conservatives feels so let down by the US right now. For decades we defended the US. And now it turns out the US actully behaving as the worst European Marxist caricature of the US. Sad.
Luis Garicano 🇪🇺🇺🇦@lugaricano

Many of us, liberal Europeans, spent decades pushing back against the European extreme left's cartoon version of America ( it's all oil/ imperialism/getting rich at the expense of others) and then one dumb administration walks in and performs the caricature to perfection.

🤣🤣🤣. Again, there’s always an excuse for China. The west (USA, Europe) are condemned by the world. Whatever the reason for China’s emissions, it doesn’t change the fact they are the biggest. So again, if they get a pass…THERE IS NO CLIMATE PROBLEM. Call China out and maybe.

Alan2102z@alan2102z

@e_galv It is too late already, and this became undeniable this year, 2025. At least 50 million Americans are fanatical right-wing cranks, effectively Nazis. There's no co-existence with them. You cannot live peacefully with Nazi thugs, christo-fascists, and MAGA fanatics.

@e_galv This is 100% true. The fifty percent of Americans who voted for Trump didn’t decrease by even 1%. Therefore, there are 50% of the American people who support the continuation of the war and hold strong racist views toward Muslims in particular, and toward others in general

@sephius1999 Why is it that the left has NO IDEA how the world works? The world is run by robber baron criminals who don't have a political party, or even a country. They want to return the world to a slavery existence like they almost had in the Industrial Revolution. They're almost there.

Y'all pushed Biden out over one issue, Gaza. ...and now you losing your jobs, farms, healthcare, child care service, science grants, grocery / energy prices increased, cuts to medicare / medicaid, ICE deportations, Iran War, and were in a recession. Gaza wasn't worth it.

Biden’s Save student-loan plan is dead. Borrowers will have to quickly pivot. More than 7 million people on the Saving on a Valuable Education plan, or Save, will have 90 days to find a new plan or face a potential huge spike in their monthly bill. stocks.apple.com/AqKqVVm2uSMiF7…
