Every few years the 432 virus comes back. It’s much more dangerous than the great modular epidemic. Be safe out there.

@jim_rutt @Liv_Boeree Great conversation as always, but Telepathy tapes? Come on. I fully expected you to reach for the heater. You can borrow mine.

I talked with @Liv_Boeree—science communicator, former professional poker player, and host of the Win-Win Podcast—about how she sees the world. We discussed the nature of personal identity across sleep, the teleportation machine thought experiment, consciousness as a self-aware story-threading entity, the "attention as cursor of consciousness" framing, Jim's memory-competition theory of attention, Gerald Edelman and Daniel Dennett as proponents of competitive models, the Telepathy Tapes podcast and nonverbal autistic children, Donald Hoffman's view that consciousness is foundational, panpsychism and the "radio tuner" model, Liv's poker premonition story and a $1,700,000 tournament win, two flavors of consciousness and psychedelics as a way of dialing into different frequencies, poker as spanning pure luck to pure skill, the data revolution in poker and the rise of game-theory robots, poker as an egregore and the idea that "the game is playing me," probability at micro vs. macro scales, egregores defined as beings in meme space, Moloch as the personification of multipolar traps, Instagram face filters as a micro Moloch example, the Moloch mechanism of individually rational but collectively destructive action, Scott Alexander's "Meditations on Moloch," the breakfast cereal Moloch as a case study, the three interlocked layers of the AI multipolar trap, Marc Andreessen's techno-accelerationism and its blind spots, introducing "Norma" as the second negative attractor state representing centralization and authoritarianism, Moloch and Norma feeding into each other, psychopaths as first movers in Molochian races, the obligate psychopath concept, Elinor Ostrom's work on managing the commons, zero-knowledge proofs as a win-win third path, Descartes' philosophical origin of Western indifference to animal suffering, expanding the moral circle, the conditions of factory-farmed pigs and the economics of gestation crates, the health and environmental consequences of factory farming, cultivated meat as the win-win solution, and much more.

It turns out Bukowski was right about almost everything.

I had his number in my wallet for years.. too afraid to pick up the phone. When I did, he was as gruff and curt as I was told he could be. I was happy to have at least heard his voice. I never got a lesson. I just listened to Donny Hathaway live on repeat...

@REALDJPREMIER So easy to build a boombox nowadays. Start with a kit if you're intimidated. Grab an ammo can or a suitcase.... There's also still plenty of old blasters easy to clean up... barrier of entry is low.

I'm just wondering, how many people still have dope car stereos and Boom Boxes? We will always still make our Hip Hop for those formats. Not laptop speakers. Just sayin' LOL. Salute to those that really were outside during our era.

Hate to burst everyone’s bubble but “frequency science” is basically flat earth stuff for non-musicians. “Frequencies” don’t do anything to people unless played at deafening, weaponized, directional volumes via systems that accurately represent those frequencies
Sheldon Yakiwchuk@YakkStack

Have you ever wondered why millions of Canadians suddenly believe the exact same things and all at the exact same time? You turn on the TV. That familiar theme music starts. Your shoulders drop. Your guard comes down. And before the anchor even speaks - you’re already being programmed. This isn’t conspiracy theory. This is science they never taught you. Every major Canadian network - CBC, CTV, Global, Citytv - opens their newscasts with almost identical background tones. I ran the audio through a custom created spectrum analyzer and here’s what I found in the first 3 minutes (the part that plays before you can change the channel) - A carrier tone locked at 101.9 Hz (felt in your chest, linked in sound-healing circles to “heart coherence” and emotional trust) A slow binaural sweep from 1 Hz → 4.25 Hz (deep delta → low theta) That exact range is the same one used in: Yoga Nidra “non-sleep deep rest” protocols Lucid-dream induction tracks Clinical trauma-release therapy (TRE, somatic experiencing) Translation: the music alone is pulling your brain into a half-asleep, hyper-suggestible state where critical thinking shuts off and emotional compliance switches on. This is modern Pavlov’s bell, but instead of salivating dogs, we now have obedient voters. They studied this for decades - sentence structure with deliberate pauses Repetition of trigger phrases (“safe and effective,” “experts say,” “the science is settled”). Rising intonation that mimics a parent calming a frightened child; All layered on top of those delta/theta beats. You feel calm. You feel safe. You feel like the people on screen care about you. That feeling isn’t love. That’s engineered trance and the craziest part is that it works best on people who think they’re too smart to be influenced. The higher your IQ, the more you trust the source (“It’s the CBC, they wouldn’t lie”). The lower the IQ, the more the raw emotional entrainment works. Together...they create one giant, synchronized hive mind. This isn’t left vs right. This is top vs bottom. They don’t need guards or guns when they control the frequency your brain runs at every night at 6 p.m. Wake up before the next chime. Or not...you know...whatever, man.

I can't imagine why I should stem anything. Why did we normalize this? You get the song. Only the song. I know this battle is over, I just hate it.

@telefontelaviv Once again, these are the kind of soulless people who take no joy in the process. “Cooking is so hard. You have to taste things, and pans are too expensive..”

Oh no man he’s extremely, perfectly wrong and every single musician will agree with me here
Michael Beckerman@MMBeckerman

@telefontelaviv He's not wrong. Why do you think most musicians never make any music of their own at all? And, before you rip on SUNO, I've recently been using it and have made some of the best tracks I've ever heard in my entire life. It's an impossibly great tool for anyone looking to create.

@MattWelch You can do it. Most of these chords are just a finger away from the chords you know, so best to start there.

Have been toodling by ear on the organ for "Til I Die," then glanced at the tabs, and sure enough it's just a festival of excuse-me-what-now chords: Bbsus4 Bb I'm a cork on the o - cean C Cadd4 C Bbsus4 Bb Floating o - ver the ra - ging sea Cmaj7 Fmaj7/C F6/C How deep is the o - cean? Bsus4 Cmaj7 Cmaj7/G How deep is the o - cean? Emadd9 Gmaj7 (Gmaj7)

I have a small cut on the side of my foot. It hurts when I walk on it. The doctor said just don't walk on it. He also asked me if my face hurt, but I could see where it was going and I hit him first
