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.

Here we go again!!! 1:38:30 is when the story starts.
So last year when the University of Michigan was caught with some lab students bringing in some "potentially" dangerous biological "materials" I thought one of our three letter crews would close that loophole forever.
Yet, as if written for cringe and frustration, Chinese students are caught again smuggling in more biological "materials" into University of Michigan lab. Could these biological "materials" potentially wipe out all our crops in one season.
There was a story not to long ago in China showing government workers destroying crops, and openly spraying some misty substance in the street. What happens when their Chinese student lab worker grabs a 50lb bag of some newly tested and scientifically approved fertilizer, but before the bag leaves, he takes it into his office and switches it with a 50lb bag of secret Chinese biological material.
Wooooooops,,, who would have known.
What I would like to know,,, is what happens when ...
The Eighth Front: How Influence Became the Real Battlefield
The strange case of Charlie Kirk, the sudden attacks on Tucker Carlson, and how influence networks keep the public looking the other way
Since October 10, the date of Charlie Kirk’s death, Nick Fuentes has appeared as a guest on several podcasts and shows, including Part of the Problem with Dave Smith, Offensively Accurate, Infowars with Alex Jones, The PBD Podcast with Patrick Bet-David, Raw Talk with Bradley Martyn, Fresh & Fit, The Nelk Boys show (a Kick stream/podcast), and Glenn Greenwald’s show/podcast.
What I find strange is the reaction Tucker Carlson is getting for hosting Nick on his show. Prominent figures like Ben Shapiro, Ted Cruz, Mitch McConnell, Mike Huckabee, Mark Levin, Bari Weiss, Josh Hammer, Randy Fine, and others are suddenly outraged that anyone would dare give Nick Fuentes a platform. The timing and uniformity of their outrage make it feel almost coordinated, and incredibly fake.
So the question is, if this really is a ...
Scott Adams and the Billion (trillion?) Dollar Play
I spend most mornings working on a laptop while listening to Real Coffee with Scott Adams. He is not someone I would normally listen to, and I think his views on medicine and foreign affairs are just horrible. However, I am grateful for his pushback against BLM, lockdowns, and masks, and I will miss him dearly. I dread the day when I log on my computer and he is no longer able to host his show .. but intend to tune in until then :-)
There is something bothering me about his story, and it started back in January of 2023 when he said that basically the anti-vaxxers were right (paraphrasing), which was a huge deal. His statements nearly got him cancelled and drew crazy pushback from the usual forces. However, he then did something weird: instead of focusing on the implications of a society having their constitutional rights stripped away and the violation of informed consent, he instead attacked people like Bret and Heather, writing them off as ...
