Today we discuss MAHA, vaccines, Covid, autism, and ostriches. Senator Ron Johnson held a hearing on the corruption of science, at which Jake Scott (MD), Toby Rogers (PhD), and lawyer Aaron Siri testified about vaccine safety testing and the relationship between vaccines and autism. The new MAHA Strategy report attributes poor diet, aggregation of environmental chemicals, lack of physical activity, chronic stress, and overmedicalization to the decline in children’s health. Meanwhile, people who have been fooled by the fear campaign celebrate getting their newest Covid boosters. And in Canada, ostriches are at risk of being killed because of a misunderstanding of immunity, but people are fighting back. The immune system that defends the body politic is discovering how to defeat the infection. The battle is over the public consciousness.
While we were livestreaming, news broke that Charlie Kirk was shot during an event in Utah and sadly passed away shortly after.
“Charlie Kirk was a beautiful person. He died engaging his foes honorably. I truly hope he’s right about the universe and is receiving his reward. I’m beyond heartbroken for his lovely family—we must take care of them. Let’s live up to his example.” – Bret Weinstein

Breaking Out of the Silo
Bret often talks about the Cartesian crisis, and I’m not sure I interpret it exactly the same way he does. To me, it means refactoring your thoughts (I’m a software developer, so I think in those terms). It’s stressful because it requires revisiting old beliefs, memories, and assumptions, and checking them against biases you didn’t realize you had. For example, I had to completely rethink how I viewed people like Sam Harris and Noam Chomsky.
I’m not someone who normally watches TV, but there is a multi season show called Silo that struck me as the perfect metaphor for the Cartesian crisis. It’s about people living in a massive underground bunker after a post-apocalyptic event, all raised on a tightly controlled, false story about history and the world in general. The story goes, a few characters start to realize that (surprise) that what they were told about history and the world itself is mostly wrong.
When it comes to the Charlie Kirk shooting, I don’t ...
Heresy and the Evolution of Goliath
Over the last few years, I have been trying to make sense of the world I see around me, and in the process, I’ve landed in a very strange place, as anyone else who might have if they questioned any of the many narratives being shoved down our throats.
I’m from Wisconsin, and lately, I’m reminded of Aaron Rodgers, how he went from being the most celebrated human being in Wisconsin to basically a heretic for denying the vaccine. If you’re not from Wisconsin, it’s hard to explain just how big Aaron Rodgers was, the guy was bigger than Bret Favre and Vince Lombardi. He could sneeze on a cloth and could auction it off for a lot of $$. Anyways, I remember well being at a usual WhatsApp neighborhood Packer party a few years back, everyone brought homemade food. We had a Covid circle of trust going, where we all agreed to only hang out with each other (covid lockdown loophole) which I’m sure none of us violated :-P. I am a stirfry guy so I brought some fried...
Are we living through a Color Revolution?
Why Color Revolutions are more than fighting with Crayons
When I think of a color revolution, I’m reminded of the movie Inception, where an agent tries to plant the seed of an idea so the host acts in a way that benefits someone else. The entire scheme only works if the host is unwitting, if they never realize the idea wasn’t originally theirs.
A major feature of a color revolution is the ability to influence or control media narratives. For example, when it comes to Ukraine or Syria, organizations connected to the U.S. State Department, often through USAID funded NGOs such as the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), as well as well-funded networks associated with figures like George Soros, are frequently described as helping set up or support media outlets that shape public opinion and bolster opposition movements. The book Creative Chaos is great on this subject; it describes in detail how Facebook and other platforms were able to bypass Syrian ...
