Amy Eskridge Mystery Thread - The anti-gravity propulsion researcher claimed antigravity has been discovered 4 different times. And each time, was shut down and dismantled. In this interview, she says on camera she was warned THREE separate times by agencies and officials to stop her anti-gravity research. Shortly after this interview in 2022, she was found dead at 34. 'Self-inflicted gunshot wound.' No investigation details ever released. She is now the 11th scientist linked to this suspicious pattern. Watch this.

One time in college I blacked out and when I woke up I had tanked my chess.com Elo by over 400 points and when I explained to my roommates why I was nearly in tears they just laughed at me

@NealBruceBC Black usually plays 6...d5 though when it's useful to remember 8. Qg3 is the best move.

I occasionally see this line in Blitz from players under 1400. Worth knowing this pattern. #chesspunks

@upholdreality They fell partly due to an incorrect understanding of the way the world works, a great example of which we can see here.

@RuxandraTeslo The same reason people in a bad marriage randomly go off with the first person who comes along, which usually also ends in disaster.

I was walking in Cambridge and all the houses with a sign outside had a "Vote Green" one. Why do people Vote Green? What are the arguments even?

@owenjonesjourno Bad argument not to mention typical pie in the sky. Some ex-Soviet states have done very well, and they democratically voted to leave, which I guess you don't care about since doesn't fit your agenda. Russian problems are, as is the norm, largely of their own making.

12 million people are estimated to have been killed by economic 'shock therapy' in Russia alone. Russia suffered the worst peacetime economic collapse of a major industrialised nation in history. The Russian economy nearly halved. The fall in Russian output was much worse than that caused by the Nazi invasion in the 1940s. Russian male life expectancy fell by 6.5 years, to 57.6 - back to its mid-1950s level. The overall fall in life expectancy was on the scale of Vietnam during all-out war in the 1960s. The suicide and homicide rates doubled. Real incomes collapsed by 40%. At the time of the Soviet collapse, one in fifty Russians lived in poverty. By the end of 1998, that surged to nearly one in every five. Full employment gave way to mass unemployment. As healthcare funding collapsed by a third and poverty surged, disease such as diphtheria, tuberculosis and syphilis rampaged. Russia was taken over by oligarchs, gangsters implicated in serious crimes who stole the country's resources. Murderous conflicts in the former Soviet territory included Chechnya, where potentially hundreds of thousands were killed. Yeltsin's contempt for democracy was underlined by his bombing of the Russian legislature - and the undemocratic farce of the 1996 election. Putin came to power after the Russian secret services almost certainly staged apartment bombings which killed hundreds. The invasion of Ukraine has killed hundreds of thousands of people. Need I go on? Yes, the collapse of the Soviet Union was one of the great catastrophes of our age. An alternative would have kept the USSR together (Baltic states aside) on a democratic basis, without ruinous shock therapy. Notably, a Soviet-wide referendum in March 1991 overwhelmingly voted to keep the Union together (although it was boycotted by six of the fifteen republics - in the Baltic and three small republics).

Hasan Piker: “The fall of the USSR was one of the greatest catastrophes of the 20th century.” This is who Democrats are embracing.

@adwooldridge There’s always been a tendency like that on the European right. It was concealed, initially by the Cold War and anti-Communism, latterly by the tidal wave of US money and culture. Expect a lot of people to discover De Benoist, Sunic. A civilisational turn on the European right.

Heidegger talked disdainfully of Amerikanismus. I suspect we will hear a lot more such talk from European right-wingers as/if Trump continues to swing his wrecking ball

Your body replaces 98% of its atoms every year. Within five years, every single one is swapped out. The you from 2021 is physically gone. Not "mostly gone." Gone. The atoms that used to be your face are now part of the air, the ocean, somebody else's lunch. Oak Ridge National Laboratory proved this in 1953. Your skin right now is about a month old. Your liver, six weeks. Your stomach lining regrows every five days. Your skeleton is completely different from ten years ago. A few atoms do stick around for life, buried in some brain cells, in parts of your heart, and in your tooth enamel. Scientists at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden tracked them using leftover radiation from 1950s nuclear bomb tests. The oldest surviving piece of "you" lives in your brain, your heart, and your teeth. Your brain is also erasing you. On purpose. A neuroscientist named Ron Davis at Scripps Research found that the brain has cells that release dopamine, the same chemical you feel after a good meal or a win, and use it to dissolve memories. When his team shut these cells off in test animals, they remembered twice as much. The chemical behind your best feelings is the same one shredding your past, and it never stops running. Ebbinghaus proved this back in 1885. You lose about half of everything you learn within one hour. A 2020 study from Baycrest's Rotman Research Institute had people live through a real experience and then checked how much they kept. At best, about a quarter. 75% of the details of your own life are being actively wiped by the organ that is supposed to be keeping track of it all. The universe is 13.8 billion years old. Squeeze all of it into one calendar year, with the Big Bang on January 1st, and humans show up at 11:52 PM on New Year's Eve. Your whole life, every birthday and breakup and boring Tuesday, lasts 0.17 seconds on that calendar. Not even long enough to blink. Stars will keep burning for about a hundred trillion more years, then the fuel runs out and the lights go off everywhere. The last things left will be black holes, places where gravity is so strong not even light can escape. Even those slowly leak away over a number of years so large you would need a hundred zeros to write it. After the last one is gone, nothing is left. No light, no warmth, nothing bumping into anything else, ever again. The universe reaches total stillness and stays there. Forever. Brian Cox once described the window where life can even exist as one-thousandth of a billion billion billionth, billion billion billionth, billion billion billionth of a percent of the universe's total run time. You are in that window right now. Built from borrowed atoms, running on a brain shredding its own records, here for a fifth of a second on a cosmic calendar that ends in permanent silence. Anyway, hope your Tuesday is going alright.

just spent 2 weeks in china. went into it thinking we're cooked. came back more bullish on america than ever. here's why: 1. chinese citizens are way more chronically online. on the subway, train, anywhere, literally everyone is glued to their phone. gaming, short form, wechat. "don't walk and look at your phone, it's dangerous!" announcements flood crowded areas. their tiktok isn't any better, its still garbage, soft-core porn, etc. 2. everyone's using AI — deepseek, kimi, doubao. but nobody's afraid of losing their job to it. here it feels like there's an existential crisis every week. in china, nothing. i think the CCP won't let companies mass-layoff workers. great for short-term stability. terrible for long-term competitiveness on a global scale. 3. china doesn't produce weirdos. i sat in on a class at tsinghua (china's MIT). not one student spoke unless the professor read their name out loud. no questions. no debate. chinese education produces world-class executors, not contrarians. it does make it a safer place to live though. 4. china doesn't have christianity but it has something america doesn't have: a shared story everyone believes in. every person age 25-70 watched their country go from abject poverty to skyscrapers in one lifetime. that kind of collective proof has a deep unifying effect. compare that to how divided we are right now. america has a huge meaning vacuum that needs to be filled. nevertheless, i return back to my home in america reinvigorated. because everything i saw confirms one thing: china optimizes. america innovates. and the innovators always win.

@UziCryptoo Plenty of people probably regret having kids. People can regret anything, life's too rich to have a simple answer to everything.

Uzi@UziCryptoo·
Friend of mine is 35 years old, married and doesn’t want kids. His household income is roughly $300k/yearly and his house is nearly paid off. They invest a good portion of their income for retirement, take multiple yearly vacations and live a nice life. I think people like this are going to regret not having kids in their future. One day when he’s old all he will have to look back on is the random stuff he bought and wasted money on. Instead of putting that money towards having kids and building a family he’s choosing consumerism. This just seems so wasteful and boring to me.
