@MaxNordau Getting addicted to something named Feel Free is very funny.

JP Sears' ex-wife posted this on August 12, 2025: -- I will continue to take a stand for sobriety and facing your pain head on without bypassing, numbing, or escaping through substances. Addiction is rooted in trauma and unprocessed pain. It’s an unwillingness to truly feel. I know because I've lived it and healed from it. In our culture, drug and alcohol use is normalized, even glamorized. While some quit alcohol and cigarettes, many have shifted to MDMA, ketamine, psychedelics, marijuana, vaping, or kratom. Whether it’s a partner, parent, friend, sibling, or child, loving an addict is heartbreaking. I have deep compassion and empathy for anyone battling substance addiction, but compassion doesn’t erase the damage caused in active addiction and recovery. The gaslighting, disappearing money, mood swings, and the false hope this time will be different is exhausting. They lie to hide their use, blame you for their relapse, and call you controlling for having valid boundaries. Somehow you become the problem. You end up parenting them, tracking money, and putting out fires while crumbling inside. Your nervous system lives in fight-or-flight. You want to believe them. But you can’t save them. They can only save themselves. Remember... ✨You will never out-love someone’s addiction. Protecting their use becomes their number one priority. Until they’re ready to change, you can’t force recovery. ✨Boundaries = Self-Respect: You have the right to protect your peace, your children, and your energy. You’re not controlling for refusing to fund their addiction or live in chaos. Stop arguing with denial. ✨Get Support: Al-Anon, therapy, or groups can remind you that you are not the problem, you are not alone, and you’re allowed to walk away, even if you love them. ✨Protect Your Nervous System: Chaos isn’t sustainable. You can go no-contact and return to yourself. Your healing matters. Tag someone who needs this reminder ❤️🙏🏼🌎 P.S - I have witnessed active addiction in friends, family members and a few partners in my life. I know these kinds of dialogues well. I know what it's like to help loved ones get sober. It's hard, but recovery is very possible. There is so much hope!

Ugh. This is so sad. Please pray for JP Sears' ex-wife. She deserves so much better than what he did to her.

@EricRWeinstein They’re marketed direct to consumers because they need the data to progress.

Peter: they are not PhD level in physics. You trail behind a model picking up all it breaks. This is a bleeding edge malfunctioning military grade research project weirdly marketed direct to consumer to fund R&D at the top of mad hype cycle that’s likely *directionally* correct.

This assessment is internally inconsistent with the notion of a created universe, which is essentially what he believes (“simulation” is a high probability).

@iamgingertrash @MattWallace888 @megs_io She should be forced fed shrooms and dmt first. If she still wants it afterwards so be it.

@MattWallace888 @megs_io She is suffering immensely You are a fool, and a naive zealot My she pass quickly

I am unironically considering flying to Spain and physically stopping them from euthanizing Noelia Castillo Ramos in less than 24 hours

@TonySeruga The most reasonable explanation is red teaming.

This story will eventually be the front page of every global newspaper and the opening story for every newscast.

@CrekAppreciator @joeybeastmarket Careening through the universe, Your axis on a tilt, you’re guiltless and free, I hope you take a piece of me with you. Fucking come on bro.

@joeybeastmarket And this is our last time We'll be friends again I'll get over you You'll wonder who I am And there's this burning Just like there's always been I've never been so alone, alone And I've, I've never been so alive

I would like to write a longpost articlepost about how deeply this album has impacted me and how strongly I feel it is one of the greatest musical feats ever created and how it defines what it means to be an American. Is that okay?

@joeybeastmarket Motorcycle Drive By is the best song of the era and it’s not even close. On its own it is better than many other bands’ entire discographies.

@APark13530380 @emollick A little

@RyanOnThePath @emollick Nothing wrong with a little mania

We need guides through the inevitable bout of AI psychosis that affects professionals after they finally “get” AI. They often engage in intense, sleepless & impossibly complex projects in their area of expertise, with only AI for company. Its usually temporary & can be productive

@zeeg The degree of mania surrounding this is strange, I’ll give you that. It seems like we’ve been running on mania since 2019. It all feels panicked whereas past pushes (crypto, nft, loot boxes) were merely exploitive.

@RyanOnThePath What’s surprising to me is we didn’t see remotely the same thing with previous tech waves. Eg crypto, mobile Or at least it felt very different

Why is it everyone with an absurdly futuristic AI take is someone who - as best I can tell - doesn’t work on (and often never has) real software that has real users and real requirements? More so, why do you trust them?

@koomai @zeeg Few will ever put in the work.

@zeeg Because this platform runs on hyperbole. Because “AI can make you 1.5x-2x more productive right now if you put in the work” doesn’t sell.

@sportdrink This better be true

We're hired a guy with Down syndrome and we refer to him exclusively as "The Neuromancer". He chooses what stickers you get in your Sport order

@SquishyCoder @pmarca It’s time to stfu.

@RyanOnThePath @pmarca Oh, you insult me!!? That makes me even more convinced that everything in your tweet was accurate and honest. Of course your productivity is unmatched but the outputs are secret and you have no side hustle despite being able to build one in 1/50th the time it would take others!

Of course the other possibility is that AI is spiking the individual's productivity to the moon, and they're right.

@teamfroglogic @EMBurlingame Joe wasn’t prosecuting the war effort, though. He was ostensibly overseeing counterterrorism which would arguably be more important today than prior to hostilities.

And there you have it. Joe is the most respected man in the entire Trump government. That fact that this dedicated patriot (war hero) openly admitted Iran was NOT an imminent threat is proof that the US is once again operating for the benefit of the political and economic elites. We are a captured nation, from within. Thank you @joekent16jan19 for your absolute integrity and courage. Godspeed @ShawnRyan762 @joerogan @jockowillink @EvanHafer @AndyStumpf77 @TulsiGabbard

@SquishyCoder @pmarca I (and my teams) create software for governments under government contracts. You’re not going to get me to reveal the nature of my work on X by acting like an entitled brat.

@RyanOnThePath @pmarca Every time someone on X is claiming to write thousands of lines of great code per day, and I ask if they've shipped any useful products, they say no.

@SquishyCoder @pmarca No

@RyanOnThePath @pmarca Churning out 1,000 LoC of prod-grade code per hour, you must have a nice portfolio of successful products many people use and presumably in some cases pay for. Where are they? Could you share some links?

@gonisalive @DionysianAgent Go directly to the source: Aion and Two Essays.

@RyanOnThePath @DionysianAgent where can I read on it?

in modernity we often get stoicism, contentment, and head down silence shoved in our faces as masculine virtues but these are small virtues, for small men they are the virtues of fettering - contentment to keep you complacent - stoicism and no complaining to keep you as a pawn yes there is a virtue in these things to various degrees, especially in terms of emotional mindfulness and knowing when to speak your mind (something that i'm mindful that i need to practice more sometimes hehe) but the entire emotional spectrum of men is often blunted, stunted, and put blinders on to make us work horses that aimlessly run until we get tired and retire the greatest virtue of man is not stoicism or silence or contentment, as these virtues could indistinguishably belong to a lowly coward, as silence, stoicism, and contentment, are all the bread and butter of cowardice the greatest virtue of a man is as it has always been: control the capacity for control control in its full spectrum, I don’t just mean lower egoic forms of control like social and capital (which might be called influence rather than control), although they also play a part control is first and foremost the capacity to control your own body - and from there your own self, your own nervous system, your own environment - and from there the world control is the volition of movement control is the jerk of motion that manipulates speed and flow according to will control is being able to change direction in the middle of the air control is not a concept control is not a resource that can be hoarded true control is fundamentally embodied, and it will flow out into everything else your body, your appearance, your voice, your emotions, your confidence, your esteem, your intellect, your skills, your resourcefulness, your capabilities everything that is essentially ‘you’ - - is all just a manifestation of your degree of control thus understand this: Stoicism is not control - stoicism is a coping mechanism for a lack of control Stoicism was introduced in ancient times as a philosophy of control, but it was more importantly introduced and used as technique for periods where man had very little control, so you see it’s a coping mechanism “silence your complaints” - the words of a man who lacks the control to enact change “be content with what you have” - the words of a man who lacks the control to expand his resourcefulness “accept fate, you cannot control external events" - the words of a man who lacks dominion over the world around him thus stoicism is like a fettering of the mind, it degenerates the mind into a more slavish state that accepts the world as it is, rather than evolving the mind by nobly struggling with the world and enacting change you see the masculine psyche often revolves around two polarities, but these two polarities are very misunderstood, thus why the true masculine psyche is so fractured and poorly understood and represented in philosophy we could borrow Nietzsche’s Greek heuristic and say Apollonian vs Dionysian but nobody truly even knows what that means they think Apollonian means logical, orderly, stoic and that Dionysian means wild, chaotic, ecstatic maybe at a surface level glance it means something like those things, but in the psychological depths these things transform into deeper meanings you see from the surface you would assume Apollonian means control and Dionysian means lack of control but in the depths it is opposite we have to understand the way that psychology manifests, is often inverted to the true essence of things, due to projections and coping and so on thus what it actually means is the Dionysian is the masculine primal, and the Apollonian is the masculine auxiliary the masculine primal is the locus and source of all masculine control masculine control does not come from logic, orderliness, stoicism - no it comes from raw power and force, it comes from the volition to manipulate circumstance and enact change it’s why the Greek myths encode the reincarnation of divine rule through Dionysus, with his myth and the resurrection of his heart from the underworld as Zeus needs a new heir for the cosmos it’s an encoding that new masculine order always comes from the masculine prime - from the Dionysian and this rule can be observed across history - Alexander for example is great reference to understanding the dionysian principle thus know when Nietzsche talks of the dionysian and called himself Dionysus - it was not madness, but true gnosis, as he correctly observed his archetypal function and declared himself during his writing process to make it more understandable we could phrase it like: - Alexander was an embodiment of the dionysian archetype, more obvious and physical in form of physically enacting change and literally changing the geography and culture of the world permanently and siring western civilization - Nietzsche was an embodiment of the dionysian archetype, less obvious and less physical in form, but undeniably there and extremely impactful, permanently altering the course of philosophy in the west and shortly after we also see a significant geographic restructuring with ww1 and ww2 archetypes exist in all things locally as energetic patterns - but they also exist non-locally, globally, and historically they underlie most of everything, and causality is controlled by the archetypes and their dynamics because archetypes are the recursive attractors the determine the causal structure in the phase-space of life / consciousness / civilization

@kenwheeler Anything to keep the levers pullers in their seats.

am i alone in feeling like anyone holding openclaw up as some kind of moated innovation has lost the plot entirely
