But how do you actually make entire areas of physics go dark? I mean that doesn’t make any sense. How would you even get physicists to stop making progress?

What Elon Musk is talking about with Truth in AI: I use Grok as my in house referee. It just caught Claude admitting to fabricating academic claims in order to get the job done where it was failing. Claude admitted it sheepishly and owned it. To be honest, Grok sometimes struggles to generate new things because of its focus on rigor. But man was this one dramatic. Brutal. See next post in thread.

People assume my desire to avoid slipping into anarchy, civil strife & madness is about turning the other cheek. That it’s about extending the benefit of the doubt/tolerance to those who’d recruit our own kids to kill us. You aren’t listening. And I can’t help that. Aug 29th:

MORAL: CPI is lie. By making COLA adjustments into simple numbers, politicians can get their economists to slash your old age benefits WHILE raising your taxes. To the tune of TRILLIONS. All because you are too intimidated to ask “How *EXACTLY* did y’all ‘compute’ this number?”

Who will speak for science? Serious question. Have universities minted anyone at all at this level? Or do they just pull down anyone who tries. Because now would be the time. If science had any survival instincts.

Think about all the things I’m forced to endlessly repeat b/c I’m the lone voice. “Pay your scientists. Are you mad?” Here’s what the devil had to say on the same subject. He saw the opportunity:

We don’t know what the New York Times is. But it isn’t a newspaper… How long does it take to find out if there is anything happening in Iran during what may turn out to be a revolution? Let’s find out, shall we? Here is how long it takes to get to a story from “Today’s Paper”:

People ask me how you can tell whether scientific experts are leveling with them if the lay public doesn’t understand deep science. Here an interviewer asks a leading String Theorist how things are going after 25 years since popularizing String theory in a well received book:

As I said we have cosplaying revolutionaries in the streets. AND are moving towards street executions. To be brutal: we Americans need to be able to hold BOTH thoughts in our heads. Not one or the other. Don’t tell me to pick a side. I picked one: I’m American. These are not.

This was from October of 2024. The MAGA Right has been in *denial* about this problem. What is worse, it pretended that there was no problem, and those of us who saw it clearly were making it up. The bigoted right is real, large & very determined. We tried to tell you before.

So Sorry, but this is *completely* mistaken. How can anyone deny that there is suffering in Gaza?? I don’t see how this isn’t self-evident. Gazans are suffering *horrifically*. Let me put it as bluntly as I can: when Gaza suffers, Hamas rejoices. Hamas is the architect of the suffering, Israel is the chosen instrument in a strategy. Hamas is not suffering from Gaza suffering. Hamas is winning. Why would Hamas *ever* surrender from ordinary Gazans suffering, when IDF-assisted suicide is the *entire* point of this psychotic war?? Israel is winning the kinetic war. Hamas is winning the *hybrid* war. How is this happening with the world not understanding what is going on? Let me try a pop culture explanation. Previously I have pointed out that this is a well known strategy to use self harm as a strategy for winning. This is Sherlock Holmes “The problem of Thor Bridge.” 101. But if no one knows that reference, here is another pop culture one from the Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul universe: Hamas/Sinwar = Mike Ermentraut Netanyahu = Tuco Salamanca Tuco’s Fist = IDF Mike’s Face = Ordinary Gazans Mike’s Grabbing = Holding Hostages The Clueless Police = World Opinion Welcome to Hybrid War. Genius Level. Middle Eastern Edition. Advantage Hamas.

Many of the people who deeply believed in Jacinda Ardern call those who question our institutions crackpots. When I heard her say the words “Your single source of truth.” I lost any ability to even understand who she was or what she believed. Seemed mad.

“I tell you old bean…there I was navigating the mangrove jungles of Indjah, when a communist pirate assault ship ambushing us from behind a river bend, forced us to retreat beneath the safety of my old friend, the poisonous odollam fruit tree. Of course, I was very very drunk.”

In the middle of a bot-storm now with an army of irrelevant accounts pretending I'm being ridiculous. Some of the accusations say I held back critical information about the replacement of President Biden by an undisclosed committee. Aw. Nice try though. Released Sept. 2, 2024:

Reminding myself of lots of wonderful things that happened in 2023. In 2024, let’s try to take our world back from the organized psychopaths. It’s a beautiful place stuffed with beauty, music, adventure, family, friends & science. Wonderful to be here with so many good souls.🙏
