We have "cartesian blinders being put on us so that we are trying to make sense out of scraps of information and hints." - @bretweinstein
WEINSTEIN: I mean, even if you have your villains who are engaged in the behavior that motivated this war in Iran, even if that's the story, presumably most of the people in the path of these ferocious bombings that he is describing are not deserving of going back to the Stone Age.
In fact, I distinctly remember him telling us that part of what we were up to was liberating the people of Iran from their tyrannical regime.
So if it's the tyrannical regime that justifies the ferocious bombing, then it's a tragedy that other people are going to be sent back to the Stone Ages with them. Right?
HEYING: It's it's not a narrative. It's an incoherent set of talking points.
WEINSTEIN: Yeah, it's a kind of cheerleading that is completely inappropriate from the perspective of the president.
Bret Weinstein discusses the Trump administrations "back to the stone age" recent remarks in the latest episode of The Evolutionary Lens, Episode 320 "Are we back in the stone age?" on DarkHorse.
Bret Weinstein explains, "If you stop businesses from starting here, and if you drive people so that they move elsewhere—even though it's difficult to do—then the point is the tax base dries up, which then forces you to become even more predatory for the people who stayed.
And that's really the thing, right? They're setting themselves up so that they have to go after more and more people, because the people who are starting new businesses are not going to do it here."
under construction still
I never voted until 2024, when I voted for Trump.
For most of my life I didn't think about politics at all. It wasn't in my personality, and it never interested me, because I always assumed the system was rigged. Watching Obama walk back his promises almost as soon as he got into office, and watching the horrific results of the foreign wars, didn't exactly change my mind.
2024 felt different. Trump was loud about ending those wars, and for a while it looked like he was actually trying, like in that struggle session with Zelensky on camera where he told him he didn't have the cards. I was also very much behind RFK Jr. and the MAHA movement.
I'm writing this because of what happened after that. And the best way I've found to explain it is a bike race.
If you've ever watched a road race, the Tour de France or just a local race, you've seen the peloton, the big pack of riders moving together.
They ride in a pack for a reason. The rider at the front is punching a hole in the ...
I tried the letter by Brian Ward to Senator Moody in my AI (alter.systems.AI) this is what produced.
What This Letter Is
A formal complaint letter from Brian Ward (Fort Walton Beach, FL) to Senator Ashley Moody, dated October 26, 2026. He positions himself as a regulatory-affairs expert who has consulted on 30+ federal and state cases involving coerced medical experimentation.
Core thesis: A coordinated effort by the FDA, federal judges, state governors, and agencies (HHS, CDC) has pushed the country into what he calls a "post-constitutional form of government" — specifically:
FDA Rule 21 C.F.R. § 50.22 (finalized January 2024) — he claims it permits covert, consent-free human experimentation, biometric data collection, and "shadow files" on citizens, including newborns.
Judicial nullification of due process — 40+ federal judges dismissed 16 lawsuits under Rule 12(b)(6), and the Ninth Circuit (in Brock v. City of Bellingham, Petition No. 26-268) held that governments can force licensed professionals to take investigational...
