For someone who otherwise has shared some good content, this is an ignorant take. The rantings of a Luddite. ALSO factually untrue. One particular product—Roundup (Glyphosate)—is believed to be carcinogenic. ALSO, Glyphosate is NOT a GMO. It is a herbicide. It is used, paired with one brand of two GMO food crops (Bayer-Monsanto corn & soybeans). The risk is from the Glyphosate based herbicide, not in any way with the GMO food itself. “Genetically Modified Organisms” will be (and in fact already are) THE solution to feeding a large human population. From 1870 to 1970, famines caused an estimated 130 million deaths globally, mostly in developing regions—an annualized starvation death rate of 1.3 million. Since the introduction of GMOs in the 1990s, deaths attributable to starvation are less than 10 million—and are mostly a byproduct of wars, not food shortages. Even including war related famine deaths, the annualized global starvation death rate is ~250k. During this same time span, from 1870 to 2025, the world population has grown by >650% (from 1.27B to 8.30B). Adjusted for population growth, we went from a global starvation rate of 0.102% to 0.00301%. You’re not just spewing lies, you’re spewing dangerous, deadly lies—devoid of any scientific backing. The sliver of a thread you’re hanging such a claim from is that the WHO recently issued a statement that Glyphosate (NOT a GMO, a herbicide used with two crops by one supplier), is deemed “probably carcinogenic to humans” (categorized: Group 2A carcinogen)—BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY—based on those who have had “occupational exposure” (NOT from consumption) with a correlation to non-Hodgkin lymphoma. What that means: if you are a farmer, and you handle pre-diluted Glyphosate based herbicide (the high-concentration commercial product) for years, there is a correlation to slightly higher rates of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, that the WHO believes to be attributable to Glyphosate, and recommends that it be phased out. NOTE: Not only am I no defender of Roundup / Glyphosate. The reason I know these things is because I am an activist who has lobbied my state legislature (as well as other state legislatures) against legal immunity bills for Bayer-Monsanto, the maker of Roundup: if a farmer gets non-Hodgkin lymphoma attributed to handling commercial grade Glyphosate, they should have the right to sue Bayer. Also, NO GMO has ever been shown to cause cancer in anyone. Not one single published and peer review study. Almost 15 years ago, anti-GMO activists in France funded the Gilles-Éric Séralini study (i.e.: they had a vested interest for a desired outcome). The Gilles-Éric Séralini study was initially published by French scientific journal Food and Chemical Toxicology (by Elsevier), before being quickly retracted. Claim: rats who ate maize (corn) treated with Roundup (Glyphosate) herbicide produced tumor growth in lab rats. Primary reasons for retraction: • With only 10 male, and 10 female rats, the sample size was too small. • More importantly, they deliberately chose to use a rat-line (Sprague-Dawley) known to have an existing elevated rate of tumors. The rate of tumors, in the low sample size was statistically within the rate of tumor growth one should expect from Sprague-Dawley rats. MOST IMPORTANTLY: In the 14 years since the Gilles-Éric Séralini study, not a single scientist, university, or laboratory has been able to reproduce the study’s completely bunk results. I still support phasing out Roundup. It is dangerous for farmers to handle, the corn and/or soybeans + Roundup crops have been on the market for >30 years, from ~40 year old research. We need newer, better (and yes, safer) GMO food crops, and AI will help us achieve that goal. RELATED: Monsantos patented their corn and soybean GMOs, and I’m strongly opposed to patenting lifeforms. It is a dangerous precedent, and should be criminalized.

This is wild. The @WhiteHouse plagiarized its reason for launching a war on Iran from @FDD, a cutout of Israeli intelligence. Side-by-side screenshots in the 🧵
Zachary Foster tweet mediaZachary Foster tweet media
Stephen McIntyre@ClimateAudit

The most definitive White House statement purporting to justify the Israel-US war on Iran was its March 2, 2026 statement entitled "The Iranian Regime's Decades of Terrorism against American Citizens". whitehouse.gov/articles/2026/… After a brief editorial opening, the article lists 44 incidents with a total of 992 US deaths. The source of the data wasn't given. Where did it come from? Unlike the Iraq war or the Russia collusion allegation, the reporting didn't come from an intelligence assessment, flawed or otherwise. It turns out that the list was plagiarized by the White House from a June 19, 2025 list (fdd.org/analysis/2025/…) prepared by a former AIPAC employee (Tzvi Kahn) for a think tank (FDD) founded "to provide education to enhance Israel's image in North America". The think tank's original identity was "EMET (Hebrew for 'truth')". The June 19, 2025 publication was literally on the eve of the first US bombing of Iran on June 21, 2025. In this thread, I'll compare each and every item in the White House statement to the corresponding item in the original list by the former AIPAC employee. The list is virtually identical. Any slight changes are always in the change of ratcheting up the underlying allegation.

@chrisgrayson @bryan_johnson People have said psychedelics change the mind forever. That’s not the same as saying they may trigger measurable cross-domain tradeoffs in the organism. Consciousness shift was the folklore. Resource reallocation is the model.

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.

Saturation and rerouting are coming indeed. Yes, ~36% of the international Helium market comes from Qatar, but ~56% of Helium is from the US. Last year Russia overtook Algeria as the world’s 3rd largest supplier at 13%, and some of the largest helium deposits have recently been discovered in Canada, and under active (and now accelerating) development. At current Helium prices, many undeveloped reserves just suddenly became economically viable. One of the biggest winners in the reindustrialization of the US is going to be Idaho. Massive copper and silver deposits from mines once closed down for “environmental” reasons are being reopened at lightening speed with modernized excavation equipment (and no doubt, “cleaner” processes)… and none of that is even the result of a Persian straight. This is a stupid war, it is going to cause the US completely unnecessary short-and-medium term pain. Also, the US is going to be fine.

The Strait just got sealed. Oil past $100. Helium lines to chip fabs drying up. Indian kitchens already on fumes. Everyone screaming “war.” The real signal is quieter: one narrow choke-point just proved our entire just-in-time world is tissue paper. Saturation’s coming. Watch who quietly reroutes first.

“…psychedelics may not be a pure longevity unlock [but] a state-shifting technology that enhances some layers of the organism while transiently suppressing others.” Psychedelics as state-shifting tech? Congratulations, sounds like Bryan reaffirmed what everyone has said about psychedelics since forever.

He may have just exposed something bigger than fertility. Psilocybin looks less like a free upgrade and more like a system-wide reset with tradeoffs. Brain up. Inflammation down. Meaning up. But reproductive signaling may temporarily pay part of the bill. That’s the real lesson: biology doesn’t do miracles, it does reallocations. If this holds in more humans, psychedelics may not be a pure longevity unlock. They may be a state-shifting technology that enhances some layers of the organism while transiently suppressing others. Not magic. Resource routing.

Bezos and AI manufacturing startup, Project Prometheus… “A few months ago, he traveled to the Middle East to discuss the new fund with sovereign wealth representatives in the region…” A few months ago is a long time. I support the idea, but… Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, & Qatar have begun reviews of their SWFs—possibly freezing or cancelling up to ~$2T invested in the US. The SoftBank money, and Singapore better come through. _____

I’m fine being a “prompt engineer,” Do you write in machine language? Didn’t think so. It’s just another layer of abstraction. TIP: Add this to your prompt: Over-comment everything, in plain English, for an educated non-engineer. ——— Not only will you understand what the code is doing, but I find that by forcing AI to explain itself at every step, it actually writes better code.

Right now, wealthy travelers around the world can fly to hospitals in China to get organ transplants within weeks. These organs don't come from willing donors, but are instead forcibly taken from innocent religious prisoners like the Falun Gong and the Uyghurs. They have been tissue-typed and blood-typed in prisons and camps throughout China—and then are killed to order. It was a pleasure and an honor to speak recently at @Hillsdale about what's going on in China today. Hillsdale is an incredible institution that is teaching students the importance of truth, goodness, beauty and the dignity of every human being, created in the image of God. Utilitarian bioethics—the perverse push for the "greatest good for the greatest number"—is directly undercutting these ideals. My new book "Killed to Order" breaks down the dangers of utilitarian bioethics which has reached the extreme in China, and is now spreading to the West.

WSJ, Reuters: Jeff Bezos is reportedly raising $100B to buy manufacturing companies and overhaul them using AI. The plan involves acquiring firms in industries like chipmaking and defense to speed up production with smart automation. Instead of using AI just for software, this fund wants to put it to work on physical assembly lines. This project is intended to act as a tool for changing the way the world builds complex hardware. Bezos has already held meetings with major global investors and wealth funds in the Middle East to gather the cash. This effort is closely linked to a startup called Project Prometheus that specializes in AI for heavy engineering. Project Prometheus managed to raise $6.2B in funding around February-26 to start its work. David Limp from Blue Origin has joined the team to help manage how AI interacts with large scale manufacturing. --- reuters. com/business/retail-consumer/jeff-bezos-aims-raise-100-billion-buy-revamp-manufacturing-firms-with-ai-wsj-2026-03-19/
