Hello guys. I need your help please. Help. I’m doing this despite the risks involved 🙏. I’m sure you’ve seen the story Citizen tv aired recently about a brother who beat up his sister mercilessly trying to “discipline” her. Before she was beaten up, he had sent cops to “arrest” her in Busia because she was in Uganda and they didn’t want her traveling. The cops got her and she spent 24hrs in a cell before being transferred to Nairobi where she spent another 4 days in Pangani police station with no charges or being taken to court. The brother bribed the police officers to arrest her and put her in a cell to “discipline” her. They took her home and the brother beat her up mercilessly with blows and kicks and stepped on her as she begged that she was on her period. He also slapped his other sister who tried to intervene. The brother in law by the name Sharmake Hussein is the one pulling the strings and is highly connected to the DCI. The DCI headquarters has the victim’s phone and she went to pick it up yesterday but they refused and tried to make her withdraw the charges. Officers at the headquarters by the name Amin and Mahad as narrated by the victim tried to trick her to sign and withdraw the case. She refused and in return got threatened by the family who were present in the presence of the DCI KENYA The perpetrator was at DCI KENYA headquarters yesterday and they didn’t arrest him!!!! I’m honestly shocked that they were forcing the victim to withdraw the case instead of arresting the perpetrator. I took the girl to somewhere safe today a big big thank you to VOCAL Africa since the brother wants to harm her and DCI KENYA is enabling it. All the other younger siblings are not safe either and even the youngest was manhandled at the headquarters yesterday and they took his phone. Both phones are at the DCI KENYA and I’m asking with what authority did you take their phones and manhandled them? The youngest is a minor and I still don’t think these kids are safe. I talked to them today and the parents are the biggest enablers. If anything happens to any one of them DCI KENYA is responsible for being bribed and used by the perpetrators who’s going around claiming he knows “big people” including Duale. I have clips which I’ll be posting of him being nasty and arrogant of the law. DCI KENYA arrest the perpetrator Abdiaziz Daqare!!!!!!! Arrest him before he kills these girls and kids!!! You’re being an enabler!!!

Happy New Year’s Eve 🥂🎉 Grateful for you who has supported me over the last year and you who still believes in me. Your support means more than I can put into words, but a simple thank you can go a long way … THANK YOU! ❤️ I see you, even if I don’t always have the time to respond to your wonderful comments on my posts. You’re amazing! ❤️ Wishing you a year of health, wealth and the kind of happiness that truly matters. Happy New Year 2024 🤗🥰😘💋 2023 has been a troubled year for me, but also one with positive changes and lessons learned. I know most of you don’t care about my troubles, so I won’t bore you with that. Living in the past is not the solution anyway, so I prefer to focus on the present and future. I don’t expect 2024 to take away all my troubles at midnight today. But I’m going into 2024 with hope, confidence and determination. If I go down, at least I will have tried my best. 2024 will be a year with lots of changes, setting boundaries, focus and finding my true self. Some of you will not like those changes, mostly the ones that are not even reading this, but I know I will be left with the people that like me for who I am. 2024 will be great! 👍 Do you have new year resolutions?

This post about bench press safety escaped containment and got a lot of people commenting in disagreement that safeties/spotter arms would've saved him. And in truth, my language below was a little too absolute: safeties MIGHT have saved his life (though even if so, would not have prevented all damage), but it's far from certain that they would have, so I stand by the overall sentiment. I will explain in detail below. The spotter arms have to be set below the top of your arched chest or else they’ll interfere with every rep - you'll clang the bar on the safeties, which not only severely interrupts proper technique and performance, but can also be potentially injurious in its own right as the clanging against the safeties takes you out of the rhythm of the rep and leads to uneven and chaotic force application demands mid-rep. The safeties can’t be set a mere milimeter or even a half inch below the chest: both because most racks have 2-3 inch hole spacings that don't allow such finely calibrated setting, but even if they do - also because as a gross movement pattern, not a fine movement pattern, you can’t control the movement of the bar precisely and accurately enough not to clang the safeties if they’re so close to your chest. Human beings performing gross movement patterns simply lack such fine control: on heavy sets, the bar might be slightly uneven on one side, you might lose a touch of your arch over the course of the set, etc... and end up clanging the safeties anyway, if they're set so close to the top of your arched chest. These issues are not form errors that can be prevented with proper training, but are inherent limitations in the human capability to control gross motor pattern movements at a heavy weight. Thus, the safeties have to be far enough below your chest in order to not interfere with the set itself, such that they can’t possibly catch the bar before it hits your chest in the case of a sudden catastrophic drop. The proper placement for the safeties is far enough below your chest so as not to interfere with the normal execution of the set and so the bar never touches the safeties at all during the set, even with the inherent human limitations of gross motor pattern control. But high enough such tha - if you find yourself unable to successfully press the bar to lockout - you can bring the bar under control back down to your chest, exhale and drop your arch, and the bar will ideally now rest on the safeties instead of your chest and you can crawl and slither out from under it. Worst case, you can roll the bar slightly upwards and the safeties will soon take it, well before it would lie on your neck. I have an example of using the safeties this way in the video below, with 485 lbs. The ability to set this position with precision and accuracy depends on the equipment you're using: Some racks/benches have 1 inch spacings for this purpose, which is excellent and allows greater precision in safety placement, but most common racks have 2-3 inches between holes and thus people must often have the safeties a little lower than they'd ideally be. The main point is the proper use and purpose of safeties in the bench press is not really to catch a very rare catastrophic sudden drop onto your chest, but to allow you to survive the much more common situation of a normal failed rep. Could they theoretically save your life in such a situation where you drop it? Yes, they might. They won't stop the bar before it hits your chest but they might reduce the impact by stopping the bar from going further down and reducing the impact. This may or may not save your life in this rare catastrophic drop situation - it's good to have them there, set up anyway, but it's far from a sure bet. The most important things you can do are to learn and practice good technique, which involves stiff wrists in a very slightly bent back position, and thumbs around the barbell - NO SUICIDE GRIP. The safeties won't catch the bar and stop it from hitting your chest, so it's best to reduce the chances of dropping the bar on your chest from almost zero to even closer to almost zero. I've been bench pressing regularly for well over 20 years, always put my thumbs around the bar, and have never dropped it on myself. Nor has anyone I have coached to the best of my memory, over tens of thousands of sets and hundreds of thousands of reps. I have used safeties to successfully avoid getting trapped under the bar after a failed rep. In the video below, I tweaked my pec while pushing through a rep at 485 and had to set the bar on the pins to avoid getting trapped under it. This kind of situation is the primary use for the safeties. It's good to have them set up regardless - they might indeed save you if you somehow still manage to drop the bar, but they also very well might not.

This one was made with Seedance 2.0 Fast via Dreamina. This is pure Omni-Reference. The only character sheet I used was for these girls, Sari and Ploy. The dude with sarung here and the location were 100% prompted. I didn’t use a character sheet or reference for either of them. Even in Fast mode, Seedance 2.0 is bloody good and it still nails the hyper-vernacular vibe that I always aim for in my work. Seedance 2.0 is both exciting and scary for me 😆 It’s exciting because it is undoubtedly the best model currently available on the market. Trust me, you’ve seen the videos I’ve made so far right? The performance of the model It’s simply the best, period. It has helped me tremendously in creating a shit ton of stories about the region where I live, Southeast Asia. It has been the most exciting thing ever. The scary part is whenever a platform or company comes to me saying, “Hey, we have this new video model. Blah blah blah. We’ll let you know more soon.” It scares the shit out of me because the big question is whether it will be better than Seedance 2.0??? 😆😆 If not, I don’t even want to bother using it. I’ve come this far and achieved this level of quality with Seedance 2.0. That’s why I skipped Happy Horse, which I already tested. It’s also why I’m not bothering with Wan or anything else for now. Their current models are still far inferior to what we already get with Seedance 2.0. I don’t want to downgrade the visual quality. This is also why I need to be really honest. There are certain platforms that host their own in-house models and i'm still part of their CPP. However, because those models are still far behind the quality of Seedance 2.0, I haven’t used them that much. Seedance 2.0 has simply become the benchmark for me. The type of output I’m looking for is also extremely specific, so I can immediately feel it when a model cannot deliver what I need. Seedance 2.0 is definitely not cheap, but it gives me so much creative satisfaction and allows me to make whatever I want. I even have a team that low-key makes softcore erotic videos in the style of Vivamax 😆 I think I’ve trimmed down so many things in my AI workflow because my main goal is to focus on the content itself. If Seedance 2.0 Mini is released soon, I’m dead curious to test it. I think I want to create more stories that revolve around drama rather than highly technical cinematic shots. Seedance 2.0 Fast has been incredibly helpful, but I’m definitely curious to check out the Mini version. But the truth is that I’m completely tool-agnostic. I don’t care which company makes the model. I only care about the quality. You might remember when I praised Grok Imagine Video so damn hard because it was genuinely amazing back then. Then the quality kept getting worse and worse, so I stopped using it. But if it gets better again, I’ll definitely want to use it again. At the end of the day, quality is the only thing that matters.

Kate, enough is enough. HONORING LIAM SHOULD NEVER LOOK LIKE THIS. You don’t "announce" to your viewers that you’re about to light a candle for Liam and Francesco like it’s some exciting part of your evening vlog. This isn’t a sunset activity to broadcast for likes, comments and sympathy clicks. This is supposed to be about respect, about love, about something deeply personal, not a staged, performative content plan. Do you even hear yourself? Saying, "Our boys are up there laughing, watching us," like it’s some cute script for your video? Liam isn’t a storyline for your audience. Francesco isn’t part of your brand-building narrative. These were real men with real lives, who deserve to be remembered with dignity not through TikTok segments designed for engagement. What’s next, Kate? Another staged "grief moment" to keep views up? You claim you can’t get out of bed most days, yet somehow you find the energy to plan a whole beach sunset "tribute" while announcing to your followers that they’re coming along with you. How is that grief? How is that genuine? It’s calculated, it’s performative and it’s all about you. It’s never about Liam. It’s about how you can twist his name into your next "moment" to stay relevant. Liam’s memory is sacred. 444 is sacred. His name should not be plastered into every single piece of content you create like it’s a trending topic. If you truly loved him or respected him, you would honor him in silence, in real moments, not with cameras rolling and fake smiles for TikTok. This constant branding of his memory, this influencer-style "announcement" of your so-called tribute is disgusting and heartbreaking. Stop turning grief into a performance. Stop selling Liam’s memory as if it’s your personal brand. He deserves better. He deserved love and respect in life, and he deserves it even more now. What you’re doing is vile, Kate and the world can see it!!!!! #JusticeForLiam #StopExploitingLiam

Today I conducted several surprise oversight visits in the Western Cape. The point of these visits is simple, to test the real conditions under which police officers are expected to serve, not only what appears in official presentations. What I saw again is that many police officers are doing serious, difficult and often dangerous work with far too little support. That must be said clearly. The problem is not the commitment of the cops on the ground. The problem is a system that too often expects results without providing the people, vehicles, facilities, equipment and basic support required to do the job properly. At Khayelitsha FCS, the unit is dealing with some of the most sensitive crimes in the criminal justice system, including sexual offences, child victims and family violence. The reported ideal staffing level is about 43 personnel. The current number is about 21. That means a specialist unit dealing with deeply traumatic cases is reportedly about 22 people short. This is not an administrative issue. Every shortage affects victims, investigations, court preparation, forensic follow-up and the ability of detectives to give proper attention to each case. FCS work cannot be reduced to moving dockets. It involves children, families, trauma, dignity and justice. At the FCS unit serving Kuils River, Kleinvlei, Mfuleni and Mfuleni Satellite, the same pattern emerged. The unit reportedly has only about seven to eight investigators and one administrative clerk, while receiving around 40 dockets per month. The D1 and D7 rape-kit stock was reported as sufficient at the time of the visit. That is important. The immediate problem there is not current rape-kit stock. The urgent pressure is too few investigators, too little administrative support and inadequate victim-friendly office space. Victim-friendly facilities are not a luxury. They are part of proper policing. A child victim or rape survivor should not be failed by an office environment that is not designed for trauma-sensitive work. At Khayelitsha SAPS, the vehicle situation is deeply concerning. The station recorded 38 vehicles, but 15 were at garages. That means almost 40% of the fleet was unavailable. This affects visible policing, complaint response, scene attendance, hotspot policing and detective work. Some vehicles have reportedly been stuck for long periods, including detective vehicles delayed for 88 and 121 days. A police station cannot properly serve a high-demand community if so many vehicles are unavailable. A vehicle in a garage is not a vehicle serving the public. SAPS must explain the repair delays, garage bottlenecks and fleet management failures. At TRT, the concern is structural and operational. These are police officers expected to perform high-risk specialist policing, yet there are serious concerns about structural certainty, vehicles, ICT, accommodation, equipment and deployment governance. Specialist policing cannot run on goodwill alone. If SAPS expects tactical units to confront gangs, violent criminals and high-risk threats, then those units must be properly formalised, properly equipped, properly housed and properly supported. Across all the visits, the pattern is clear: Police officers are doing too much with too little. FCS units are under-resourced while dealing with some of the most vulnerable victims. Vehicle shortages are weakening visible policing and investigations. Victim-friendly infrastructure is still not where it should be. Specialist units are being expected to deliver without the full structural and logistical support they need. SAPS must now provide formal written answers and time-bound corrective plans. Oversight is not about attacking frontline police officers. It is about making sure the system gives them what they need to serve communities properly. Citizens deserve effective policing. Victims deserve dignity and justice. Police officers deserve the tools and support to do the job. Feedback to follow IC

These are police officers expected to perform high-risk specialist policing, yet there are serious concerns about structural certainty, vehicles, ICT, accommodation, equipment and deployment governance. Specialist policing cannot run on goodwill alone. If SAPS expects tactical units to confront gangs, violent criminals and high-risk threats, then those units must be properly formalised, properly equipped, properly housed and properly supported. Across all the visits, the pattern is clear: Police officers are doing too much with too little. FCS units are under-resourced while dealing with some of the most vulnerable victims. Vehicle shortages are weakening visible policing and investigations. Victim-friendly infrastructure is still not where it should be. Specialist units are being expected to deliver without the full structural and logistical support they need. SAPS must now provide formal written answers and time-bound corrective plans. Oversight is not about attacking frontline police officers. It is about making sure the system gives them what they need to serve communities properly. Citizens deserve effective policing. Victims deserve dignity and justice. Police officers deserve the tools and support to do the job. Feedback to follow IC

MESSAGE TO THE XRP COMMUNITY 🚨 THIS JOKE OF A MARKET IS ABSOLUTELY HOLDING BACK AND SUPPRESSING XRP AS USUAL. THE BTC MAXIS HAVE LITERALLY ZERO NARRATIVE LEFT TO HOLD ONTO AFTER THE EMAILS REVEALED WHO REALLY PULLED THE STRINGS ON EARLY BITCOIN LMAO, SO MUCH COPE ABOUT IT ON THE TIMELINE “IT DOESNT MATTER GUYS” LOL🤣. ETH FOUNDER SELLS TRUCKLOADS OF ETH BEFORE FUDDING EVERY SINGLE L2 CREATING A SHAKY ENVIRONMENT BECAUSE THE BIGGEST THING ABOUT ETH HAS BEEN THE L2s. NOTHING ABOUT XRP HAS CHANGED AT ALL, THE MARKET IS REALIZING IS THE TRUTH BEHIND BTC AND ETH IS THAT NOBODY IS USING IT AND THEY ARE USELESS TROPHIES THAT HAPPEN TO HAVE A BIG SHINY MARKET CAP THAT STRUGGLE TO SCALE, AND THEY WEREN’T AS SAFE OF A BET AS PEOPLE THOUGHT. WHILE RIPPLE HAS BEEN ABSOLUTELY COOKING IN THE FINANCIAL AND REGULATORY WORLD THE BTC TOP DOG NARRATIVE IS LITERALLY CRUMBLING RIGHT IN FRONT OF US, FOR XRP TO TRULY HAVE DOMINANCE AS #1 IN THE FUTURE MAYBE THIS TEMPORARY PAIN IS NECESSARY. RIPPLE IS DOING BETTER THAN THEY HAVE EVER BEEN. WE ARE SO CLOSE TO ACTUAL REGULATIONS OPENING THE FLOODGATES OF TOKENIZATION OF OUR WORLD AND XRP IS POISED TO BENEFIT THE MOST FROM IT, WE SAW PROOF WITH TRUMP ELECTION 500% SOLO GOD PUMP ON XRP, MARKET IS IN FACT SMART ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND. YES THIS $1.26 XRP IS PAINFUL BUT WE HAVE COME SUCH A LONG WAY FROM THE $0.20 PURGATORY DAYS THERE IS NO POINT GIVING UP NOW. NOTHING HAS CHANGED ABOUT XRP, ITS ACTUALLY ONLY GOTTEN BETTER. RIPPLE DOESNT EVEN WANT TO IPO BECAUSE THEY DO NOT NEED THE PUBLIC’S MONEY. SOME DONT EVEN UNDERSTAND JUST HOW BULLISH THAT ACTUALLY IS. THE THESIS ON XRP REMAINS THE SAME, GLOBAL NEUTRAL BRIDGE CURRENCY THAT IS USED UNANIMOUSLY AS “ONE COMMON BLOCKCHAIN” AS LARRY FINK SAID AT DAVOS. 13 DAYS FROM NOW PERMISSIONED DOMAINS GOES LIVE ON XRPL WHICH INVITES BANKS AND INSTITUTIONS TO USE XRPL WITH KYC AML LEGALITY. I FEEL AS A COMMUNITY WE ARE IN THE FINAL MILE AND SO CLOSE TO THE PERFECT LANDSCAPE OF WIDESCALE ADOPTION OF THE XRPL. THERE IS A FINANCIAL REVOLUTION HAPPENING ALL INSTITUTIONS ADMIT TOKENIZATION IS THE NEXT BIGGEST THING. AND IT AINT HAPPENING ON BITCOIN THATS FOR SURE. STAY STRONG XRP ARMY, I DO NOT THINK THESE XRP BLACK FRIDAY DISCOUNT PRICES LAST VERY LONG! MAY THE GREAT ROTATION FROM THE BITCOIN STANDARD TO THE XRP STANDARD BEGIN. MAYBE PAIN IS THE ONLY WAY PEOPLE WILL MAKE THE SWITCH

There has been a lot of hand wringing on the appropriate valuation of SpaceX. Some large institutions believe SpaceX can only be valued at half what the market seems to be willing to pay for it. Others are claiming it has 15X appreciation ahead of it. Almost all of this difference of opinion comes down to how comfortable you are modeling beyond 2030 and what valuation method you use. 2030 valuation using a traditional Gordan DCF produces a very different result than a 2040 EV/EBITDA Multiple. Both have pros and cons. Most analysts don’t really discuss this and lead with a headline number. We are very comfortable modeling out to 2040, as large portions of what SpaceX is proposing is real world infrastructure, which provides modelable physics constraints to anchor against. The analysis we released today explores this in-depth, its open to the public all the way through IPO. I highly encourage you check it out prior to then. We’ve run 5,000 monte carlo runs across 500 variables (real number, even though it sounds fake) and three valuation methods. This video is of a 3D cloud chart showing every simulation outcome expected in valuation output across two of the most impactful variables to the model when using an EV/EBITDA multiple from 2026 to 2040. The horizontal axis is the steepness of the orbital data center demand S-curve. The vertical axis is the rate at which chip compute efficiency becomes cheaper. Each of the 5,000 dots is one simulated future; green dots are the ones where SpaceX's 2040 value clears the $1.77T IPO line, over time. Under EV/EBITDA valuation through 2040, 96% of our simulated futures clear the expected IPO price once the bell rings Friday. We aren’t publishing this publicly to tell investors what the stock is worth, we’re publishing this to help investors understand the world of outcomes, what the fundamentals suggest through 2040, and what frankly most analysis simply won’t share. SpaceX is a generational company working on long term infrastructure harnessing a domain no one has been able to tap in so far: space. It deserves doing the work as an investor. because this in not financial advice. The cleanest way to hold SpaceX is a bond stapled to a call option (AI-Compute); Starlink is the bond, the near term SatCom annuity that funds the next flywheel. Understand the world of outcomes and take your position accordingly. Comparables and P/E won't take you far enough.

99% people aren't aware that the fastest animal on earth spends most of its time doing nothing. There's a reason. A cheetah can hit 70 mph in three seconds. Then it has to stop for twenty minutes. A life lesson hides in there. Your brain wants to believe that extreme speed comes from constant motion, that the fastest creatures are always moving, always hunting, always pushing their biological machinery to the limit. Every nature documentary reinforces this illusion by showing you the chase scenes, the explosive bursts, the moment when physics bends around a spotted blur. What they never show you is what happens next. The cheetah collapses. Its body temperature spikes to dangerous levels. Its heart rate hits 250 beats per minute. Its muscles flood with lactic acid. If another predator appears during those twenty minutes of recovery, the cheetah becomes prey. It cannot run again. It cannot defend itself. It lies there, panting, completely vulnerable, paying the metabolic price for those three seconds of impossible speed. Peak performance is not sustainable performance. The biological systems that produce maximum output operate on completely different principles than the systems that produce steady output. The cheetah's body is an exercise in extreme specialization. Its spine flexes like a spring, storing and releasing kinetic energy with each stride. Its claws work like track spikes, gripping earth during acceleration. Its nasal passages are enlarged to process massive volumes of oxygen during the sprint. Its muscles contain a higher percentage of fast twitch fibers than any other cat. Every adaptation that makes it faster also makes it fragile. The energy economics are brutal. A three second chase burns through roughly 25% of the cheetah's entire daily caloric budget. That sprint costs more energy than some animals use in an entire day of normal activity. The recovery period allows the cheetah's system to clear metabolic waste, restore oxygen levels, and return core temperature to baseline. Without that recovery, the next sprint would be slower. Then slower again. Eventually, the system would shut down entirely. Your laptop operates on the same principle. When you push a processor to maximum speed, it generates heat that requires cooling systems and power management protocols to prevent damage. The CPU cannot maintain peak performance continuously without throttling back to sustainable levels. Intel and AMD engineers understand what cheetah evolution figured out millions of years ago: maximum capability requires careful rationing. Athletic performance follows identical patterns. Sprinters train by running short distances at maximum speed, then resting completely between efforts. Marathon runners train by running longer distances at submaximal speeds. The physiological adaptations that allow Usain Bolt to run 100 meters in 9.58 seconds would prevent him from running a competitive marathon. The adaptations that allow Eliud Kipchoge to run 26.2 miles in just over two hours would prevent him from matching Bolt's top speed. The systems are mutually exclusive. Silicon Valley spent decades trying to ignore this principle. Early startup culture celebrated the idea of constant hustle, permanent availability, 80 hour work weeks as signs of commitment and vision. The mythology suggested that great entrepreneurs outworked their competition by maintaining maximum intensity indefinitely. The data tells a different story. Research on elite performance across domains shows that peak performers work in carefully structured intervals. They push to maximum output during focused periods, then recover completely before the next effort. Musicians practice this way. Athletes train this way. Chess grandmasters study this way. The recovery periods are not interruptions to the work. They are part of the work. Nature does not prioritize constant motion. It prioritizes survival through intelligent energy allocation. The cheetah's hunting strategy maximizes its probability of successful kills while minimizing its risk of metabolic failure. Twenty minutes of vulnerability is acceptable because three seconds of extreme speed often means the difference between eating and starving. The fastest systems in the universe operate this way. Neutron stars can rotate at 700 times per second, but they slow down over time as they lose rotational energy. Supercomputers can process exaflops of calculations per second, but they require massive cooling systems and carefully managed workloads to prevent thermal damage. Even light itself, the fastest thing in the universe, loses energy as it travels through space and time. Speed without recovery is not speed. It is breakdown in slow motion. The cheetah understands something that most humans do not: maximum capability is a tool to be used strategically, not a baseline to be maintained constantly. Those twenty minutes of apparent inactivity should not be considered a weakness. They are preparation for the next moment when impossible speed becomes necessary for survival.

PERP DEXs & This Week Let’s take a quick look at what’s happening in perp DEXs this week: RISEx plans to move to mainnet after a reward-based testnet competition on its own chain. The project will launch with limited access codes, so I recommend trying to get one. A major new player is about to enter the perp DEX market! Reya’s trading competition ends tomorrow. The team has also launched a new ambassador program. We’re getting closer to TGE on Reya. Miracle has integrated Nado into the system. After HL and Extended, this is the 3rd perp DEX added. Hibachi launched its first vault. GAV is currently yielding 35%. They surpassed 200k TVL in a short time. One of the most underrated perp DEXs. Pacifica is offering a 50% fee discount on RWA products until March 31. It’s actually quite easy to earn points from OI. On Paradex, fiddy.dime - priv/acc 🦡’s “price shame” is getting worse. The project sits at only a $5M mcap and $26M FDV. Lighter’s $LIT is now below $1. Their “genius” CEO still doesn’t understand that a project is nothing without its community. After TGE, they tried to dump on loyal holders who supported the project for over a year and forced them out with price pressure. Many OGs left. Now he can buy his trash coin at whatever price he wants. Good for him. edgeX🦭 will have its TGE on March 31. Hopefully it will be a good one and set a positive example for the perp DEX market. Based will have its TGE on March 30. The allocation to the community is extremely low, and despite criticism, they didn’t revise it. Expectations dropped from 300–500M FDV to 50–100M FDV on Polymarket. The team is ignoring everything. On TGE day, they’ll likely lose their last blind supporters. They didn’t even open the blind boxes they distributed. That’s how confused they are. StandX — I think the overly positive sentiment and “TGE is coming soon” expectations are unrealistic. There are only 4 pairs. Trading is exhausting, expensive, and difficult. The system needs improvement. They’re not ready, and progress on the perp side is oddly slow. A fast TGE is not possible under current conditions. There are fewer serious traders than you think. If someone inactive for weeks in the top 1000 only drops 10 ranks, it means participation is low. A warning to AG.stand: you are falling behind competitors, and the world is not just Asia. Grvt delaying TGE was a tough decision and of course had consequences. I assume the team calculated this. But if they delay again, they’ll likely face backlash from the community. Variational — Looking at OI and volume, it’s clearly one of the surviving perps. It’s easier to earn points now compared to a few months ago. BULK — I’m not farming it, but White Rabbit is. The testnet is now public. According to them, it’s a fast and well-built platform. Nado has a strong following. I sold my NFT. If they allocate only ~8% to the community, it could cause serious backlash. Hotstuff — I’m not in, but White Rabbit is farming it. They launched a new builder program. Last week, 2,359 users received points. Still relatively low participation. There are constant competitions — including trips to Thailand and other rewards. But pairs are still limited. HelloTrade is still stuck in whitelist phase. Extended is one of the projects managing its process well. If they execute a clean TGE, it could set a strong example. Architect — I haven’t seen anyone actually using it. Feels like Alice in Wonderland. ‼️ 01.xyz — We contacted them about an issue a month ago, and they still haven’t resolved it or even responded that they can’t. With this level of communication, it’s a huge red flag. If I were the CEO, I’d fire the entire communication team. Backpack 🎒 🚮 Hyperliquid 👑

This guy financed a $90K machine he’d never used to start a business he’d never done, in a market he’d never worked in. Now he's on track to do $1M this year with 69% NET profit margins. Here's exactly how you can copy him. It started when he bought 5 acres of land, 4 of which were overgrown. He tried to hire someone to clear it, but the closest provider was over 100 miles away. So he did some basic keyword research - nothing fancy - and learned the service was called “forestry mulching.” What he found shocked him: tons of people in his area were searching for help clearing overgrowth, but there were almost no local providers. He saw the gap and moved fast. He'd never started a home service business before. He financed a skid steer with a mulching head for $90K. No experience. No jobs booked. Just conviction. Then he spliced together demo footage from Bobcat’s YouTube channel and launched his first ad. He targeted rural Ohio zip codes, 35+ homeowners with land, using Tractor Supply and similar interests as filters. His ad cost? Just $23 per lead. His average job size? $3,100. His close rate? 85%. He was booked out within weeks. To build trust and close more deals, he started filming every job. Simple before-and-afters, drone shots of local landmarks, and time lapses of the machine in action. He didn’t care about views, he just wanted prospects to see what the machine could do and know that he was local. Now, 80% of his customers say they watched his YouTube before booking. The channel isn’t just conteny, it’s proof. This isn’t a content business. It’s a swaty, high-ticket local service. But content is his engine of trust. And trust is what converts. Today he runs two machines. Has months of work booked. Pays for his equipment in one job. And he’s already planning to scale to 10+ units. Most people still don’t even know what forestry mulching is. Which is exactly why this works so well. You don’t need a brand or experience, or even that much money. You just need to spot a broken market and fill the gap with something people already want.

This guy financed a $90K machine he’d never used to start a business he’d never done, in a market he’d never worked in. Now he's on track to do $1M this year with 69% NET profit margins. Here's exactly how you can copy him. It started when he bought 5 acres of land, 4 of which were overgrown. He tried to hire someone to clear it, but the closest provider was over 100 miles away. So he did some basic keyword research - nothing fancy - and learned the service was called “forestry mulching.” What he found shocked him: tons of people in his area were searching for help clearing overgrowth, but there were almost no local providers. He saw the gap and moved fast. He'd never started a home service business before. He financed a skid steer with a mulching head for $90K. No experience. No jobs booked. Just conviction. Then he spliced together demo footage from Bobcat’s YouTube channel and launched his first ad. He targeted rural Ohio zip codes, 35+ homeowners with land, using Tractor Supply and similar interests as filters. His ad cost? Just $23 per lead. His average job size? $3,100. His close rate? 85%. He was booked out within weeks. To build trust and close more deals, he started filming every job. Simple before-and-afters, drone shots of local landmarks, and time lapses of the machine in action. He didn’t care about views, he just wanted prospects to see what the machine could do and know that he was local. Now, 80% of his customers say they watched his YouTube before booking. The channel isn’t just conteny, it’s proof. This isn’t a content business. It’s a swaty, high-ticket local service. But content is his engine of trust. And trust is what converts. Today he runs two machines. Has months of work booked. Pays for his equipment in one job. And he’s already planning to scale to 10+ units. Most people still don’t even know what forestry mulching is. Which is exactly why this works so well. You don’t need a brand or experience, or even that much money. You just need to spot a broken market and fill the gap with something people already want. He’s doing $1M/year clearing land with a machine he didn’t know existed 18 months ago. And he started it all with a $5K down payment and a borrowed YouTube video.

Strength work for Leadville 100 💪 Over the years, I have felt judged by the research--my strength routines were limited to a few minutes at a time, while everyone was screaming at me from their Abstracts that I needed to do way more. I noticed two big problems whenever I committed to more resistance training: 1. I'd carry around soreness even after the initial adaptation window, likely corresponding to high CK levels and some background inflammation. Either way, it would reduce running economy on subsequent running training days, and every training day counts. Split squats are the ultimate offender--an exercise that I know I should be doing, but I can't without feeling like Forrest Gump after he was shot in the butt. 2. I just wouldn't do it. Oops. With lots of guessing and testing, I developed this routine, which I'd do after my easy run on Sunday (before a Monday rest day), and sometimes after my workout on Wednesday (if I felt like it): 1. Three Minute Mountain Legs, working up to 100 single-leg step-ups (I think step-ups in particular are a magic exercise for running uphill. But remember, magic is not equal to science): 2. Back squats, 2 sets of 10 (135 pounds for me, which I make look like 800 pounds in this video. The 17-year old me who played football would laugh so hard) 3. Back extensions, 2 sets of 30, engaging glutes and hamstrings 4. Single-leg calf raises, 1 set of 100 on each leg, with a 35 pound dumbbell 5. Every day, I do the 2-minute Core Snack routine 1-3 times. My core strength is one of my best attributes for ultras, and I can do the Core Snack with our toddler Leo. I also do daily band work before running (bandz a make me dance): That's it! I also foam roll and stretch daily (don't tell the researchers, but I am a tight boi and as soon as I stop stretching, I get hurt). The lesson is not to do this particular routine, but that strength training for runners can be based on individual needs. And I personally think that routines should be short and efficient for both performance (limiting breakdown) and adherence (limiting me from being a lazy little punk). Find what works for you, do it 1-2 times per week year round (on top of some daily supportive work), and don't feel the need to pursue progressive overload. It's not about getting stronger and stronger (unless you're into that sort of thing for its own sake, which I think will sacrifice some running growth). It's about supporting performance and health 🧡

My friend an active high-ranking official in Puntland sent me a video today. I asked him after opening the clip “Yo, what’s this video?”, which showed a group of furious young men in Puntland trying to tear down a giant metal pole with President Said Abdullahi Deni’s poster hanging from it. “That’s from Garowe,” he replied. “The youth are done with him. They hate him now really, truly hate him. And for good reason.” I asked, “But why?” “Not long ago, a boat full of Puntland youth trying to escape to Europe drowned in the Mediterranean. And Deni? He’s out there cashing cheques in Dubai.“ “That’s why they’re ripping down his posters. That’s why they’re trying to uproot the entire pole. It’s not just anger it’s desperation. They know exactly who’s responsible. Deni turned Puntland into a client state, auctioned to the highest bidder, and buried its future in someone else’s war.“ I already knew most of what he told me but hearing it again, especially while watching that video, hit differently. He went on: “You know what Deni’s doing, right?” he continued. “He’s literally helping the UAE fund a genocide in Sudan. That Bosaso airbase? He handed it over to the Emiratis. And now it’s being used every single day—without exception to fly weapons and ammunition to the RSF.” And not just weapons. He said Colombian mercenaries are being flown in to fight alongside the RSF. And when they get wounded? They’re brought right back to Bosaso for treatment—like it’s some kind of private RSF field hospital, built on Somali soil. “Deni is getting paid millions every month for this,” he added. “And all that blood money? Straight into his own pocket.” He added that ‘’Deni isn’t just betraying us he’s getting rich while doing it. The man who once styled himself as a servant of Puntland as an Islamist is now the wealthiest men in Somalia. And what has he done with that wealth?’’ “Nothing for Puntland. Nothing for the youth. Nothing for development,” he said. “Instead, he’s been funneling UAE money into private investments overseas. He owns around 200 transport trucks in Zambia. He holds shares in multiple companies in Nairobi. His whole family—including Col. AbdiRabi—live in lavish estates in Nairobi. He even has business operations in Salalah, Oman, run by his younger brother Mahad Deni.” And it gets darker—my friend told me they’ve used government authority and tax pressure to force Somali entrepreneurs out of the market, taking over their businesses through intimidation. That’s who he really is: a man who weaponizes state power to crush competition, all while pretending to be a nationalist. “And don’t forget,” my friend added, “he’s been doing business with Dubai for over 30 years. He’s tied to them by the waist.” Meanwhile, federal projects that once brought hard currency into Puntland’s economy have been obstructed under his leadership. Unemployment is out of control. Young people have nothing no jobs, no future, no hope. My friend—who told me all of this—looked genuinely ashamed. There were things he said that I can’t even bring myself to write here. And at the end, he added something that stayed with me: “Umut brother,” he said, “let’s set everything else aside for a moment. Sudan stood by us in our darkest days. They helped us when no one else would. Now, how are we supposed to look into the eyes of those innocent Sudanese children murdered alongside their mothers when we meet them in the hereafter?” I couldn’t respond. I just sat in silence.

Huge upgrade to loading speeds coming soon, especially with DLL-heavy codebases like UE! The primary reason PDB -> RDI conversion (or PDB parsing in debuggers more generally) is a big bottleneck in startup time is because they must be converted/parsed/loaded _serially_. This may seem surprising, since intuitively it'd seem like they can be converted/parsed/loaded/etc. in parallel. This is not true in the general case due to breakpoints, and how they relate to an API like `LoadLibrary`, and how it translates into debug events. When a debuggee runs `LoadLibrary`, the debugger will receive a debug event informing the debugger that the associated module was loaded. Any time a debug event is sent to the debugger, the debuggee stops running entirely. This is so that the debugger can make decisions about how the debuggee should proceed. For example, if I have a breakpoint on `foo.c:123`, that file name and line number can only be correctly interpreted (meaning resolved into code addresses) using debug information. The debugger only knows about that debug information from the PDB - without it, that file/line combo is meaningless. But importantly, the debugger cannot *resume* the debuggee until it has resolved that breakpoint - otherwise the debuggee may execute code which *would've* hit the breakpoint, *if* it were resolved in time. So, the debugger needs to ensure that all breakpoints are fully resolved before resuming. This is a correctness detail that everyone has to pay for, basically because `LoadLibrary`s are received one-at-a-time. Obviously, if it were instead an API like `LoadLibraries`, then the debugger could prepare all of the debug info in one batch before resuming - but it doesn't know what that batch would be, given just an initial `LoadLibrary`. This is unfortunate, because *generally* you are not debugging the code loading a bunch of DLLs, but the debugger can't really know that. (It is probably a good idea to provide a `raddbg_load_libraries` API at some point, so that we can resolve this issue on the debuggee side). In any case, RADDBG now resolves breakpoints much more quickly by avoiding 99% of debug info conversion work to do a common case of breakpoint resolution - you might call this "breakpoint disqualification". Basically, if a breakpoint is set, and we can quickly determine that that breakpoint's information (file location, expression, condition, etc.) *cannot apply* to some module's debug info - more quickly than doing a *full* PDB -> RDI conversion (which entails a full parse & a bunch of work) - then we can simplify the very common case in DLL-heavy cases: you put a breakpoint on `foo.c:123`, when 99% of the DLLs do not have any line info for that file, so the debugger can resume *knowing* that breakpoint will not resolve within that file. In this demo video, you can see I place a breakpoint that only resolves within the executable's debug info - it does not resolve within any of the 100 DLLs that are loaded serially. Within the `Modules` tab, you can see that as I run the target, most of the debug info is not loaded initially, even though the debuggee is running. That debug info is loading in parallel, as the debugger knows it does not need to wait for that debug info to be prepared for this breakpoint.

Let’s talk reflecting pool. Warren G. Harding built it on swampland and the structure beneath it would have been fine - if it had been built on stable ground. The whole thing started sinking slowly. Presidents all the way up through Carter kept trying to prop it up with little cement pours, and regularly draining and cleaning it. Algae was a problem even then because there was no real circulation system. No pumps. No filters. Reagan added some more concrete, realizing the entire pool was now 12 or 13 inches lower than it should be. It had sunk over a foot and pulled loose from its structure. Clinton publicly acknowledged that the entire pool needed demolished and rebuilt, and that it would take hundreds of millions of dollars to do it right. The Bushes just kept trying to plug leaks and clean it. Every time they had to drain and scrub the thing, it cost around $100,000 to do so. George W. Bush actually had plans drawn up to rebuild it.  Obama decided to revise and execute the Bush renovation, which was needed, but it was flawed, and he spent tens of millions of dollars on it. He raised the pool up with a timber under-structure so the water ended up being even shallower, which means that’s the point at which the water started getting warmer. He also turned off the chlorinated city water supply into the pool and began pumping water in from the tidal basin - that’s the somewhat stagnant water that comes in from the Potomac River and surrounds the Jefferson Memorial. There was algae before, but with those changes came even more algae. Obama‘s reasoning was that the basin water would be cheaper instead of using the city water supply. He had the pool tiles removed from the bottom and another layer gray cement put in place along with gray-tinted reflective paint, which gradually faded away. By the time Trump’s first term came around, the cleaning had to be done every three or four months, some of the Obama structural repairs were failing, and the leaks were rampant again. By the time Biden got into office, Obama’s reflecting pool fixes were cracked and the pool was leaking hundreds of thousands (probably millions) of gallons of water. Biden opted to clean the pool, but performed little maintenance, and did no substantial refurbishment. Trump’s fix was to try something that the other presidents hadn’t. Whereas Obama had used a gray reflective paint and cement, Trump tried a combination sealant liner - it isn’t paint. Those sealants are similarly light-reflective to what Obama used. Trump switched up to blue from the dark gray. He added nanobubblers. When we walked around it the other day, there was only a small patch on the middle of the left side that may have been coming up. It was too windy and stormy to see why. It was not as if the sealant was coming up all over the pool and floating to the top because it wasn’t. We did see the algae cleaning going on and the crews, you could tell, were tired of being harassed for doing their jobs.  Vandals have damaged the grass, they’ve cut into the liner in other places and the knife lines are clear in the videos. We did see the National Guard soldiers coming in.

Let’s talk reflecting pool. Warren G. Harding built it on swampland and the structure beneath it would have been fine - if it had been built on stable ground. The whole thing started sinking slowly. Presidents all the way up through Carter kept trying to prop it up with little cement pours, and regularly draining and cleaning it. Algae was a problem even then because there was no real circulation system. No pumps. No filters. Reagan added some more concrete, realizing the entire pool was now 12 or 13 inches lower than it should be. It had sunk over a foot and pulled loose from its structure. Clinton publicly acknowledged that the entire pool needed demolished and rebuilt, and that it would take hundreds of millions of dollars to do it right. The Bushes just kept trying to plug leaks and clean it. Every time they had to drain and scrub the thing, it cost around $100,000 to do so. George W. Bush actually had plans drawn up to rebuild it.  Obama decided to revise and execute the Bush renovation, which was needed, but it was flawed, and he spent tens of millions of dollars on it. He raised the pool up with a timber under-structure so the water ended up being even shallower, which means that’s the point at which the water started getting warmer. He also turned off the chlorinated city water supply into the pool and began pumping water in from the tidal basin - that’s the somewhat stagnant water that comes in from the Potomac River and surrounds the Jefferson Memorial. There was algae before, but with those changes came even more algae. Obama‘s reasoning was that the basin water would be cheaper instead of using the city water supply. He had the pool tiles removed from the bottom and another layer gray cement put in place along with gray-tinted reflective paint, which gradually faded away. By the time Trump’s first term came around, the cleaning had to be done every three or four months, some of the Obama structural repairs were failing, and the leaks were rampant again. By the time Biden got into office, Obama’s reflecting pool fixes were cracked and the pool was leaking hundreds of thousands (probably millions) of gallons of water. Biden opted to clean the pool, but performed little maintenance, and did no substantial refurbishment. Trump’s fix was to try something that the other presidents hadn’t. Whereas Obama had used a gray reflective paint and cement, Trump tried a combination sealant liner - it isn’t paint. Those sealants are similarly light-reflective to what Obama used. Trump switched up to blue from the dark gray. He added nanobubblers. When we walked around it the other day, there was only a small patch on the middle of the left side that may have been coming up. It was too windy and stormy to see why. It was not as if the sealant was coming up all over the pool and floating to the top because it wasn’t. We did see the algae cleaning going on and the crews, you could tell, were tired of being harassed for doing their jobs.  Vandals have damaged the grass, they’ve cut into the liner in other places and the knife lines are clear in the videos. We did see the National Guard soldiers coming in. We also saw them placed around the America 250 construction area and in between the museums. Five vandals have been arrested since we walked through. It’s unbelievable to me that they want to destroy something we could all enjoy out of hatred for a president whose policies they don’t even understand.  And the mainstream media is reprehensible.

🚨What If Earth's Oldest Civilization Never Left the Ocean? What if the intelligence behind some UFO didn't actually arrive here from another star system at all? What if it has been here for longer than us, not hiding in the sky, waiting behind the Moon, or crossing the galaxy in the way that we imagine, but living beneath the oceans inside the one part of Earth we still barely understand? For decades, we have been looking up. The cultural image of UFOs is always the same thing with lights in the sky, craft descending through the atmosphere, visitors arriving from space. Even the word extraterrestrial pushes our attention away from Earth. It tells us the mystery must have to come from somewhere else. But what if that assumption is totally wrong? What if the most important part of the phenomenon is not its relationship to space, but its relationship to the oceans? Earth isn't a land planet it's an ocean planet with islands of land breaking the surface. Human civilization developed on those islands, built cities there, drew borders there, fought wars there, launched rockets from there, and then convinced itself it understood the world. But most of this planet is still beyond our direct reach. The deep ocean is dark, pressurized, vast, hostile to our bodies, difficult to map, difficult to monitor, and almost impossible to police in any sort of meaningful way. If there was another intelligence operating here and it wanted to avoid open contact with us, the ocean would be the obvious place to be. But maybe hiding is the wrong word because a civilization that evolved in the ocean would just live there. When we imagine an advanced underwater intelligence as aliens using the sea as a base, as if they arrived from somewhere else and chose the ocean as cover, that could be way off. It could be one possibility, but the stranger theory is that they never arrived at all. They may have emerged here, in Earth's oceans, long before we ever existed. Life on this planet is ancient. For most of Earth's history, land wasn't even the center of the biological story. The oceans held the chemistry, the minerals, the heat, the pressure, the vents, the darkness and the protection. Hydrothermal vent ecosystems already prove that life doesn't even need sunlight in the simple way that we once thought it did. Entire ecosystems can be built around chemical energy rising from the seafloor. That should have changed how we (SETI) think about life, but humans still keep defaulting to our own surface bias. We imagine intelligence as something that crawls onto land, discovers fire, makes tools, builds cities and eventually launches machines into the sky. That is our path but it's not necessarily the only path. An intelligence that evolved in the deep ocean would have faced a completely different set of conditions. It wouldn't begin with fire, because fire is obviously useless underwater. It wouldn't develop metallurgy in the same way that we did, because open flame and smelting are surface technologies. It wouldn't need wheels, roads, walls or conventional buildings as we do. It would evolve inside pressure, darkness, currents, sound, vibration, magnetism, chemistry and geothermal energy. Its entire technological history would be alien to us even if it was native to Earth. So when people dismiss the idea of an ancient underwater civilization by asking where the factories are, where the ruins are, or where the tools are we have to question whether their technology would leave the same signatures ours does. Would they even build like we build? Industrialization may look totally different. A deep ocean intelligence might not construct dead machinery in the way we do. It might grow structures and use biological engineering before mechanical engineering. It might use mineral matrices, pressure systems, acoustic fields, electrochemical processes or living materials. It might not separate biology and technology at all. To us, that would look less like a civilization and more like an environment. A sufficiently old oceanic intelligence may not have cities that resemble human cities. Its infrastructure may be embedded into geology, vents, trenches, caverns, mineral deposits or biological networks. Its power systems may use geothermal gradients, tidal forces, pressure differences, ocean chemistry or field effects we don't yet even understand. Its communications may not use radio in the way we expect. Sound travels really well underwater. Electrical and magnetic sensitivity exists throughout marine life. A technological species born in that world might build an entire science around signals we barely even treat as communication. This would also explain why the UFO subject keeps revolving around water. The ocean appears again and again in the background of the mystery. USOs, transmedium objects, craft entering or leaving the sea, naval encounters, disturbances under the surface, objects tracked over water, and sightings near coastlines and military maritime zones all point toward the same possibility, that maybe water isn't incidental to the phenomenon, maybe it is central. If some UFO are connected to an ocean based intelligence, then what we see in the sky could only be the visible edge of something way bigger. The craft are not arriving from elsewhere in every case. They may be surfacing from their native domain into ours for short periods of time, crossing that boundary between ocean and air the way we cross from land into water with submarines and diving equipment. The only difference is that they appear to do it way better than we do. Human technology is divided by environment, aircraft are built for air, submarines are built for water while rockets are built for space. Each domain creates different engineering problems, so we build separate machines for each one. But UAP don't appear to play by the same rules. That is what makes the transmedium reports so important. If an object can move through water, air and possibly even space without changing its basic behavior, then it might not even be flying or swimming in the conventional sense. It could actually be controlling the interaction between itself and the medium around it. That kind of technology would make sense for a civilization born in the ocean because water is dense. It resists movement, crushes weak structures. It creates drag, turbulence and cavitation. If an intelligence developed vehicles in that environment, it would eventually need to master boundary control, so it would need to reduce friction, manage pressure, avoid destructive wake effects and move through dense fluid without wasting enormous amounts of energy. If that same technology was later used in air, it might appear to us as silent propulsion, impossible acceleration, no sonic boom, no heat plume and no obvious aerodynamic logic. So what looks impossible to us may simply be the result of a technological path that did not begin with wings and rockets. The old black budget explanation doesn't fully solve this problem either. Yes, some triangle craft, drones and experimental platforms may be human and it would be naive to deny that, but human secret technology still has to come from somewhere. If certain platforms show silent hovering, field effects, plasma signatures, extreme acceleration and transmedium behavior, then we are either dealing with a hidden human science far beyond public understanding, or we are dealing with something that we are trying to imitate. That is where the old 'alien reproduction vehicle' idea and the cryptoterrestrial theory start to overlap. Maybe some of what people call black budget technology isn't purely invented, it's most likely adapted from encounters with something already operating here. Going back to what Grusch said earlier, the implications are massive. If there are underwater bases, facilities, habitats or recurring operational zones known to governments, then this isn't just a question of disclosure. There's a sovereignty issue, who controls the oceans? Who has access to the deep sea? Who monitors undersea cables, nuclear submarines, offshore infrastructure, shipping lanes and military testing ranges? If an unknown intelligence can operate in those spaces without permission, then every major navy on Earth has a problem it cannot publicly admit. Scary thought and that may be one reason the subject is buried so deeply (no pun intended). Some people think that secrecy exists because governments don't want to admit aliens are real, but that may only be part of it. The bigger issue here could be that governments don't want to admit they aren't in full control of the planet. There is a huge difference between saying, 'We have evidence of unknown craft,' and saying, 'There may be advanced non human infrastructure in the oceans and we cannot remove it.' That would also explain the change up from UFO to UAP and from extraterrestrial to non human intelligence. Non human is pretty broad lets be honest. It doesn't tell us where they come from, it leaves room for extraterrestrial, interdimensional, post biological, artificial, ultraterrestrial, cryptoterrestrial or native Earth intelligence. That could well be deliberate. Perhaps the people closest to the classified material know the answer isn't as simple as aliens from another planet as Grusch implied in the clip. An ancient oceanic intelligence would also force science to confront its own blind spots. We know intelligent life evolved on Earth at least once because we are here. But we have no law of nature saying it could only happen once, only on land, only recently, or only through primates. Evolution isn't a ladder with humans at the top. It's a branching process with countless experiments, most of which vanished or left traces we don't fully understand. If an intelligent lineage emerged in the ocean and then moved into environments where fossilization, geological preservation and surface archaeology are poor, we probably wouldn't even recognize the evidence even if fragments existed. Ocean crust is constantly recycled through plate tectonics. Seafloor environments are really destructive. Structures can be buried, subducted, corroded, overgrown or mistaken for natural formations. If a civilization was millions or even hundreds of millions of years old, the survival of obvious surface style evidence would be highly unlikely. Even human civilization, after a few million years, would leave less behind than we like to imagine. Plastics, isotopic anomalies, altered sediment layers and some industrial traces might possibly survive, but buildings, machines and cultural artifacts would mostly vanish. So now imagine a civilization that even never built like us in the first place. This doesn't prove anything obviously, but it makes the dismissal less easy. Then there is the question of why such an intelligence would stay hidden. If it is older and more advanced, why not reveal itself? The answer could be as simple as open contact with humans may not benefit it. We are violent, territorial, extractive and unstable. We turn discoveries into weapons as quick as we can. We militarize frontiers, poison ecosystems, test nuclear devices. We drag the deep sea with cables, sonar, submarines, mining ambitions and military hardware. From the perspective of an older oceanic intelligence, humans probably don't look like peers. Instead we look like the dangerous surface species entering an adolescent technological phase that we are. That could explain the strange pattern of UFO interest in nuclear sites, military installations and weapons systems. If an intelligence lives here, our nuclear age is all of a sudden not just our problem. It is a planetary problem. Nuclear weapons, nuclear submarines, nuclear waste, missile systems and military escalation would all be highly relevant to any non human civilization sharing Earth with us. The same would be true of deep sea mining, ocean pollution, climate change, undersea military networks and artificial intelligence. We may think these are all just human issues, but a hidden Earth based intelligence would see them as threats to a shared planetary system. This gives the UAP phenomenon a very different emotional tone. It's not necessarily invasion or salvation. It may be monitoring, containment or quiet intervention when we cross certain lines. It could be an intelligence trying to stay out of sight while still making sure the surface species doesn't burn the house down. The ancient ocean theory also gives a different reading to secrecy. If governments encountered evidence of this, the first instinct wouldn't be public education. It would be containment, map the sites, track the objects and recover materials if possible. Then to build programs around the technology. Keep adversaries away from the data. Use ridicule to suppress leaks. Let the phenomenon remain absurd, because absurdity is an excellent security system. People don't demand answers from something they have been trained to laugh at. That could be why the UFO/UAP subject always feels half visible. There are official hearings, but not the full data. There are whistleblowers, but never the files. There are blurry videos, but not any context. There are pilots, radar operators and military witnesses, but the system keeps absorbing their testimony into classified channels. The public sees fragments while the real pattern remains locked away. As I always say... Disclosure for the few and not the many. If the ocean is actually involved as Grusch and Burchett imply, the missing data may be even more important than the aerial data. We shouldn't only be pressing what pilots saw in the sky. We should be asking what sonar operators heard under the water, what submarines have tracked. We should also be asking what undersea sensors have recorded near restricted zones and whether there are recurring coordinates, depths, magnetic anomalies, thermal signatures or unexplained acoustic events associated with UAP activity. We need to be asking whether naval archives contain the real spine of the phenomenon. The possibility of underwater bases actually changes how we think about disclosure. If the answer is extraterrestrial visitation, disclosure is about humanity's place in the cosmos. If the answer is an ancient Earth based intelligence, disclosure is about humanity's place on its own planet. That is more intimate and more destabilizing to me than E.T. It means the human story is not the only advanced story Earth has produced. It means our myths of ownership, dominance and uniqueness all collapse overnight, suddenly 'we are not alone' applies to home. That might be harder for people to accept than aliens from space. Aliens can leave but a hidden terrestrial intelligence is part of the planet will blow peoples minds. There is also a spiritual and philosophical layer to this. Many ancient cultures contain stories of beings from the sea, underwater kingdoms, gods emerging from water, serpent people, fish like teachers, luminous beings, and hidden realms beneath or beyond the visible world. That doesn't mean the myths are literal history of course, but it is interesting that human cultures repeatedly placed mystery, intelligence and otherworldly contact in the water. The ocean has always been the border between the known and the unknown. Maybe that symbolism came from imagination or perhaps some of it came from encounters filtered through the language of the time. If an older intelligence interacted with early humans, we wouldn't expect ancient people to describe pressure engineered transmedium craft or non human oceanic infrastructure. They would describe gods, spirits, shining beings, dragons, serpents, sky boats, sea people, underworlds and portals. Human language can only describe the unknown through the symbols available at the time. Even now, we struggle. We call them craft, orbs, drones, angels, demons, aliens, ultraterrestrials, interdimensionals. The labels change, but the confusion always stays the same. The ocean theory also sits strangely well with the consciousness aspect of the phenomenon. If an ancient intelligence developed through biology and field sensitivity rather than brute mechanical industry, it may have integrated consciousness into technology way earlier than we could have. We are only now beginning to wonder whether mind, perception and information are more deeply connected to physics than our materialist models allow. An older civilization may have already built that bridge. Its craft, communication systems and interfaces may respond to awareness, intention, emotion or neural patterns in ways that seem impossible to some of us. That would explain why the phenomenon often feels both technological and psychological. It behaves like machinery, but it interacts like intelligence. It appears on sensors, but it also appears in dreams, symbols, synchronicities and personal experiences. Skeptics see that as evidence the whole thing is imaginary. Maybe sometimes it is, but maybe the strangeness is part of the interface. A civilization that understands consciousness as a field related phenomenon would not necessarily separate contact from perception. It might use perception as one of the channels. This is where the theory becomes tricky, because it doesn't allow us to keep the phenomenon safely outside ourselves. If the intelligence is oceanic, ancient, field based and consciousness aware, then contact might not look like radio signals or embassy meetings at all. It could look like sightings, dreams, intuitions, symbolic downloads, altered states, close encounters, military incidents and physical traces all mixed together. That is messy, but perhaps the mess is not a flaw in the data, it could actually be the signature of a phenomenon that crosses categories we invented too recently to trust. All of this having been said, the theory still needs evidence. It needs coordinates, sensor data, sonar records, materials, biological traces, repeatable patterns and testimony that can be checked. However as a framework, it definitely needs more attention than it gets, because it explains why the UAP phenomenon feels close, evasive, ancient and deeply tied to Earth. The extraterrestrial hypothesis asks how they got here, although I have a theory about that. While the ancient ocean hypothesis asks whether they were already here. That is a completely different question. If what Grusch is saying is even partly correct, then disclosure will reveal that human civilization has been sharing this planet with another intelligence all along. Not openly or equally, and not in a way we were ready to understand, but sharing it nonetheless. The oceans would no longer be an empty wilderness. They would become the frontier of the greatest secret in human history. Could that be why the truth has been so hard to release. Because it's one thing to tell humanity there may be life elsewhere, but it's another thing entirely to tell humanity that Earth was never only ours. #UAP #UFO #USO #UAPDisclosure #NonHumanIntelligence #NHI #UnderwaterBases #OceanMystery #Cryptoterrestrial #Transmedium #Disclosure #ufotwitter #uapX

If an ancient intelligence developed through biology and field sensitivity rather than brute mechanical industry, it may have integrated consciousness into technology way earlier than we could have. We are only now beginning to wonder whether mind, perception and information are more deeply connected to physics than our materialist models allow. An older civilization may have already built that bridge. Its craft, communication systems and interfaces may respond to awareness, intention, emotion or neural patterns in ways that seem impossible to some of us. That would explain why the phenomenon often feels both technological and psychological. It behaves like machinery, but it interacts like intelligence. It appears on sensors, but it also appears in dreams, symbols, synchronicities and personal experiences. Skeptics see that as evidence the whole thing is imaginary. Maybe sometimes it is, but maybe the strangeness is part of the interface. A civilization that understands consciousness as a field related phenomenon would not necessarily separate contact from perception. It might use perception as one of the channels. This is where the theory becomes tricky, because it doesn't allow us to keep the phenomenon safely outside ourselves. If the intelligence is oceanic, ancient, field based and consciousness aware, then contact might not look like radio signals or embassy meetings at all. It could look like sightings, dreams, intuitions, symbolic downloads, altered states, close encounters, military incidents and physical traces all mixed together. That is messy, but perhaps the mess is not a flaw in the data, it could actually be the signature of a phenomenon that crosses categories we invented too recently to trust. All of this having been said, the theory still needs evidence. It needs coordinates, sensor data, sonar records, materials, biological traces, repeatable patterns and testimony that can be checked. However as a framework, it definitely needs more attention than it gets, because it explains why the UAP phenomenon feels close, evasive, ancient and deeply tied to Earth. The extraterrestrial hypothesis asks how they got here, although I have a theory about that. While the ancient ocean hypothesis asks whether they were already here. That is a completely different question. If what Grusch is saying is even partly correct, then disclosure will reveal that human civilization has been sharing this planet with another intelligence all along. Not openly or equally, and not in a way we were ready to understand, but sharing it nonetheless. The oceans would no longer be an empty wilderness. They would become the frontier of the greatest secret in human history. Could that be why the truth has been so hard to release. Because it's one thing to tell humanity there may be life elsewhere, but it's another thing entirely to tell humanity that Earth was never only ours. #UAP #UFO #USO #UAPDisclosure #NonHumanIntelligence #NHI #UnderwaterBases #OceanMystery #Cryptoterrestrial #Transmedium #Disclosure #ufotwitter #uapX

I think I've stumbled onto the future of building startups. It wasn't supposed to happen this way. It's 2 AM. I'm editing a podcast, questioning every life decision that led me here. I've already burned through hundreds of thousands on this thing since 2021. Zero monetization. Just burning cash. My business partner's probably thinking I've lost it. We're juggling 6 businesses, and here I am, playing wannabe Joe Rogan. Then it hit me. Not during the podcast. In the darn comments section. I start sorting comments by "contains question" using this AI creator tool called VidIQ. "How do you validate ideas?" "What tools do you use?" "Can you dive deeper on XYZ topic?" These questions keep popping up. Over and over. That's when the lightbulb went off. What if I could turn this into a lead magnet machine? Find questions. Answer them with free stuff. Rinse. Repeat. I team up with Design Scientist to crank out 2 lead magnets a month. (Tried doing it myself first. But it was hard lol) We start pumping out things like "6 Tools I Use to Find Startup Ideas." Suddenly, I'm drowning in subscribers. 10,000 to 20,000 a month. On autopilot. Now, you're probably thinking, "Cool story, bro. But how's this a big idea?" Clarity of what to build is probably one of the most valuable ways to build products people want. You have to understand a niche's problem better than they even know them. Problem: what's the roadblock keeping founders stuck? Segment: group these founders by their specific obstacles. Product: build the bridge that gets them over their hurdle. I use ConvertKit like a scalpel, dissecting these segments. Not by age or location. By the problems they're desperate to solve. Suddenly, I'm staring at a treasure map of founder pain points. And that's when you can build startups to solve their problems. Instead of being a lead factory, you become a startup factory. You use tools like v0/replit/cursor to prototype like a madman. And it makes your life less stressful as a founder. Because you know people are lined up to buy the products. I'm so convinced this is the future of startup building, I've bet $1M+ of my own cash on it. Building startups to solve people's problems. And cool part is this blueprint can be replicated in any niche. The best SaaS ideas aren't in some Silicon Valley incubator. They're hiding in your "free" content. Think of it like this (Isenberg's formula?): (Engaged Audience) x (Targeted Lead Magnets) x (Problem-Centric Segmentation) = Product-Market Fit on Demand Here's the step-by-step: 1. Use AI/software to categorize every single audience interaction by problem type. Build a heat map of pain points. 2. Create ultra-specific lead magnets for each major problem cluster. Think "5-Step Framework for Validating SaaS Ideas" not "Generic Startup Guide". I also use free communities as lead magnets. 3. Forget demographics. Segment by the problem they're trying to solve. Use ConvertKit to build dynamic segments that would make Zuck jealous. 4. Use AI to build rapid prototypes for top problem clusters. Test with your segmented lists for instant feedback. Your next cash-flowing business is probably stuck in a comment somewhere, just waiting for you to notice it. I accidentally built a startup factory at 2am. Happy I did. Sharing in case this is useful to anyone out there. The future of startups: 1. Be a content factory 2. Be a lead factory 3. Be a startup factory
