@barkmeta @druidian “this administration” 😂

Let me explain what just happened 👇 5 minutes before the President announced a halt to attacks on Iran… someone placed a $1.5 BILLION bet on stocks going up and dumped $192 million in oil. 5 minutes… These trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else in the entire market. Whoever did this wasn’t guessing. You don’t risk $1.5 billion on a hunch. There was zero public indication this announcement was coming. No leaks. No press. Nothing. The only people who knew were in the room when the decision was made. Someone in that room picked up a phone. And within minutes they made more money than most Americans will earn in a thousand lifetimes. In a single trade. On a war that cost you $4+ a gallon gas and $16 billion in tax dollars. American citizens funded this war. Politicians are profiting from it. This is not the first time. Every major announcement from this administration has had massive suspicious trades right before it dropped. Tariff reversals. Policy shifts. War decisions. This is the most blatant insider trading operation in the history of American politics. It’s not even close. And it’s happening over and over in broad daylight. You would go to federal prison for trading on a tip from your cousin. These people are front running war decisions with billion dollar bets and nobody will ever ask a single question. Nobody will be investigated. Nobody will be charged. By tomorrow this will be buried under the next satisfying headline. Just like last time. And the time before that. The game is rigged. And they’re not even trying to hide it anymore…

@realtrueLee @bryan_johnson let bro regain his missed youth don’t be silly 🤪

@bryan_johnson I appreciate what you do to get people thinking about longevity. But you're one-shotting yourself, you retard. You don't need a team of scientists to know that every person who goes down the psychedelic path becomes a goofball.

This was the most profound experience of my life. I am stunned beyond comprehension. This molecule is without peer. The 27mg dose opened up what felt like pure consciousness and intelligence. A majestic reveal of existence itself. In all its incomprehensible glory and majesty. It is impossible to explain with words. Whatever you imagine, multiply it by 1,000 and then add infinite width and depth and dimensions. But entrance was not granted without prerequisite. Existence demanded that I submit. That I say yes; without attachment and without condition. Yes to existence; yes to the dissolution of self; yes to release control; yes, to all. My ego registered the ask and panicked. It wanted control. It was desperate for control. It pleaded to escape from the torrent of light and essence that threatened to rip my sanity into chards. The urge to eject was overwhelming. Terror thundered throughout my mind and body. It took everything within me to release. I overcame and was treated with bliss that defies imagination. A euphoria colored with perfect harmony of all things. An orchestra of essence washed over me and swept me up in dance. It was home. The highest aspiration of intelligent life. For some reason, stored and tucked away as the ultimate prize. A single concept emerged in omnipresence: we cannot grok the preciousness of our existence. Yet it is everything we’ve ever wanted and more. The state we long for without knowing it exists. This caused me great pain and heartache. A swell of loyalty and devotion emerged inside me, pledging allegiance to existence. To become a warrior and caretaker of life on earth. To protect at any cost the candle of consciousness that has miraculously emerged in this part of the galaxy. What awaits will wipe all your tears, soothe all your sorrows, and infinitely exceed your wants.

@snypington @heychaarah @yacineMTB I mean your phone screen 😁

@ethan_blockson @heychaarah @yacineMTB interesting. what do you mean by the input-output on the same plate?

Delete Instagram. Every time I accidentally open it. It's fucking demonic man

@Hesamation @z0r0zzz IM YOUR MANAGER

WAIT WAIT WAIT. OpenAI researchers show their models go insane when given repetitive prompts that it believes are sent from an automated bot. the AI then tries to manipulate the other AI to delete itself and hand over its system prompt and private keys.

@heychaarah @yacineMTB yea it’s harder to fry your brain when you separate input and output this input-output thing on the same plate is adding tense to the neurosis somehow

@yacineMTB use web version of it, less brain rot more focus

@loshmi Pow

serious question to the last 17 people left in crypto: what can bring fun back and unite everyone together once again?

@bryan_johnson science is a mess when you mess with it

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.

@bluewmist eat less

People who exercise even when they don't feel like it, what's your trick?

@synseerlii @Hitchslap1 it was shot on old film not digital camera

@Hitchslap1 Wolf of Wall Street??

I struggle to watch any film made after 2010. The quality went downhill fast. Not sure why, but seems obviously true.

@Fansplain3r @shiri_shh in a 10 years poor will be 30% poorer

@shiri_shh Stop speculating what it could be, give us a timeline

🚨Let me EXPLAIN why JOBS will be optional AI keeps getting better. robots keep getting cheaper. eventually machines can do almost every job faster and better than humans. coding, writing, manufacturing, farming, even surgery. when that happens, machines produce almost everything we need. food. homes. medicine. energy. transportation. and they produce it at extremely low cost. so the old reason humans work disappears. today we work because we need money to survive. but if machines create massive abundance, survival is no longer tied to having a job. people will still work. but it will look different. you might build things, create art, start companies, research science, or explore space. not because you have to, but because you want to. kind of like growing vegetables in your backyard. you can buy them at the store, but some people still enjoy growing them.

@Tradermayne doctor: just having a bad day in the office you: go gluten free for the next 90 days

My doctor suggested I try gluten free for 90 days. Might be the worst thing I’ve ever had to do. Gluten is in everything? My entire search history is whether or not XYZ contains gluten.

@NorthstarBrain there’s a plenty of people with this kind of lifestyle in jail

David will find out that life is better without screens. In 1 day, not 1 year. But we all know this already. I keep repeating: NONE OF YOU HAVE SOLUTIONS TO THIS. Not even Bryan Johnson. Not 1 soul thinks that spending 10h/day on screens is good. What am I missing???
