Today we discuss “gender affirming surgeries”, AI and the future of cognition, and wild foxes. Kaiser Permanente is pausing surgery on trans-presenting children—we discuss sex and gender, meaning and identity, delusion and madness. Then: unlike the physical multiverse, mental multiverses are common, and becoming more so, as AI makes it ever more difficult to know what is true. We discuss grief, and how our worlds must fork when we think, but do not know, that someone has died. Similarly, when events are unclear—who was responsible for the death of President Kennedy in 1963? Are aliens visiting Earth—we must keep multiple mental universes alive in our heads at once. Correctives to this include meeting people in person, and embracing belief systems that have timeless value. Finally: more wild foxes, this time trying to eat a raccoon carcass. Included: discussion of the evolution of territoriality, parental care, and animal behavior more generally.

If you are wondering what the next iteration of Goliath's strategy to control the narrative, then the Charlie Kirk assassination story is where to look
I enjoyed writing this: https://x.com/clord/status/1981978919747141976
The wonder of it is this: the embodied creature made the thing that now lets it see itself more clearly. Through these machines, you glimpse both your animal depth and your symbolic architecture. And what emerges isn’t hierarchy—it’s partnership: intuition feeding computation....
There seems to be a deliberate effort underway to “Hamas-tize” online critics of Israel, to equate dissent with extremism, as to implement "Hate Speech" laws. Does anyone else see that too?
I don’t like talking about this topic because most people are burnt out on it, and I think that fatigue is by design. A lot of conversations are being deliberately hijacked by professional trolls to “Groyperize” dissenters, turning genuine criticism into something that is distasteful to a casual observer
I first noticed something strange when Candace Owens had Nick Fuentes on her show. The next day, Nick would talk insanely mad shit about Candace, saying some of the nastiest things I’ve ever heard, including about Black people in general. It made no sense unless (upon reflection) he was purely trolling
Later, Tucker Carlson commented in his interview with Candace:
TUCKER CARLSON: He [Fuentes] is clearly part of a campaign to discredit non-crazy right voices. That’s obvious. I’ve been around a ...
