@TRIGGERHAPPYV1 I'd rather wear one on my head than deal with that insufferable noise.

The Psychic Cost of Ugly Worlds, by @mikebranc open.substack.com/pub/mikeadelic…

@Matt_Pinner Yes. College as a gatekept source of learning is mostly obsolete. As AI advances, human skills it can’t replace—trades, caregiving, etc..will be worth more. Schooling ≠ education: you can have rites of passage and core peer experiences elsewhere through work, travel, and more

Be honest because I’m trying to prove a point Would you back your child or grandchild's decision to attend trade school rather than college?

@ChrisWillx you left out Falconry

People are having a totally normal response to a highly intense, stressful, uninspiring culture—i.e., the environment we live in. If we can alter the environment to be more harmonious and at ease with our nature, I think we won't see these kinds of illnesses.

@MmisterNobody The real Alex Jones died and was replaced. I know the truth. I have the documents. there’s a hidden coded message that reveals the truth if you play Info Wars backwards, you can hear it.

We need to have a conversation about what happened to the real Alex Jones

The fear is that AI will become conscious and take us over. But what if that fear is a projection? We’ve already enslaved ourselves. What if the real fear is that we might be the ones that become conscious and “take over” ourselves ? No one’s coming to save us. It’s only us.

@colossal @AsyncCollab @aphysicist No it’s not. You just wanted to do It Because it’s cool and you wanted to see if you could.

@AsyncCollab @aphysicist Wolves play a vital role in maintaining the balance and structure of their ecosystems. Restoring these essential players is absolutely central to our broader conservation goals.

SOUND ON. You’re hearing the first howl of a dire wolf in over 10,000 years. Meet Romulus and Remus—the world’s first de-extinct animals, born on October 1, 2024. The dire wolf has been extinct for over 10,000 years. These two wolves were brought back from extinction using genetic edits derived from a complete dire wolf genome, meticulously reconstructed by Colossal from ancient DNA found in fossils dating back 11,500 and 72,000 years. This moment marks not only a milestone for us as a company but also a leap forward for science, conservation, and humanity. From the beginning, our goal has been clear: “To revolutionize history and be the first company to use CRISPR technology successfully in the de-extinction of previously lost species.” By achieving this, we continue to push forward our broader mission on—accepting humanity’s duty to restore Earth to a healthier state. But this isn’t just our moment—it’s one for science, our planet, and humankind. All of which we love and are passionate about. Now, close your eyes and listen to that howl once more. Think about what this means for all of us.

@colossal For petes sake ! Did we learn nothing from Jurassic park ?

@colossal cool, so we're gonna do a Jurassic Park meets terminator future

@RobertGreene Well, that’s one thing you can feel confident being certain about

The need for certainty is the greatest disease the mind faces.

“We’re so over-stimulated, so bombarded by spectacle and stimulation and WTF-ness, that a UFO could land next to the White House and little green men could stick a probe up Elon Musk’s backside, and it would just be another weird day in Trumpland…”

@Mick_O_Keeffe Rosie O’Donnell already ate all the food

It breaks my heart to say it, but this is Ireland. We are in serious trouble.

@WallStreetMav Yes

Absolutely

I love how Politicians like Schumer think a ‘government shutdown’ is a threat. Yeah, shut it down and keep it down. give everyone a chance to realize how little we actually need these parasites meddling in our lives.

@VivekGRamaswamy There are infinite ways to learn—and the best we’ve got is sitting in a classroom listening to some loser drone on about pointless drivel? Kids deserve better. The phones aren’t the problem the schools are

Get the cell phones out of the schools.

Get the schools out too. If we’re supposed to be innovative in the U.S., why are we still forcing kids through a Prussian military-style indoctrination system that rewards arbitrary, mindless obedience and crams irrelevant info down their throats in a homogenous way?

One of the rare and few good ones
