I have been thinking about the following the last several years and have drawn some dark horse conclusions. I’m boiling it down here and leaving it a riddle. It’s another way to see something we may rarely question.
“Political compass” or “left/right spectrum” is a mind trap. Radical isn’t included within the trap. Why isn’t it? Not for “a reason” but for the dangers of “reason” itself.
The political spectrum tool stamped in our brains, with its minor variants, is a brain trap to prevent political reasoning while deceptively posing as a tool of political reasoning. It functions in reality in the following ways.
1. Substitution of complex social thought with simplistic explanations.
2. Internal self denying the holism of our humanity by it assigning limited dimension personality to political beliefs.
3. Separation of popular social forces into false diametric opposition of each other.
4. Divorcing political agency from culture, pulling culture apart by its political parts.
5. Hiding the beneficiaries of this brain trap, making them invisible and innocuous.
6. Simultaneously as making these beneficiaries invisible, the brain trap gives to them everything it takes away from the rest of us, making themselves central to the self definition of all others.
The next thought in puzzling this is yours to take. Step back & examine for yourself the “left/ right spectrum tool” as a potential deceptive brain trap. Note what you observe. What other things do you see that I did not describe? What of my observations did you similarly note?
Now that you’ve given it thought, what is the invisible within it, that counterintuitively has the only clear definition, that informs all others which I allude to in my sixth point?
Will European wheat have an effect on Bret Weinstein? This is Part II of his European experiment, the results.

Dr. Bret Weinstein is running an experiment on himself. After a decade of avoiding wheat he has tried eating it while in Spain. In this update video he explains how he has been feeling and answers common questions around glyphosate and dry fasting.

Do you have a wheat allergy? Have you been able to eat wheat in Europe without the symptoms you experience in America? After a decade without intentionally eating wheat, Bret Weinstein is running an experiment while visiting Spain - will the European wheat cause the same symptoms he experiences when stateside?

Hi Brett.
I would like to propose an upgrade to your upgrade. I finally got around to listening to your discussion with Joe on your hypothesis to enhancements of the evolutionary mechanisms at play and how we understand them.
What you laid out makes sense but to me still doesn’t quite explain how rapid changes can sometimes be, for example if environments change rapidly, and leaves some gaps for me around explorer mode. Your comparison to computing and coding, especially with storing variables, got me thinking to feedback loops. If we treat DNA as static code then the analogy in programming is building an old school program that requires the developer (evolutionary mechanisms) to make changes. If we hypothesise that evolution is smarter than that and the program is more akin to a modern self adaptive program (and why wouldn’t it be?), then what we should see is the ability for the program to change in a single organisation over the life of its time.
My hypothesis is that not only ...
Would love to hear a podcast on the news out on Glyphosate! https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/02/climate/glyphosate-roundup-retracted-study.html
Happy New Year my Dark Horse friends! Wishing one and all tons of health, love, and prosperity in 2026
I ushered in the new year with two of my favorite women in the world, my mom and youngest daughter. We made these candles, one for each of us, and then a yellow one as the fourth as a collaborative 😊. Yellow signifies wealth and abundance. 2026 here we come 😊
