It’s all about perception. This round right here made it look worse for Haney especially since it was against a not so known name. Also Rolly atleast got a knockdown…And Ryan got knocked down by a power puncher early so it’s understandable why he wasn’t landing much

U see how u take all that into account but can’t take into account Haney just came off 3 knockdowns to a drug cheat. Ofc he will be a lil cautious

Felt sorry for Haney, I’ve never seen him step back so much for feints or after throwing combinations. Garcia fight looks like it did a lot of mental damage - But, hopefully he’ll get back to the way he was against Loma. Ramirez fight was honestly one of the worst fights I’ve ever seen. Haney literally ran the whole fight. Even Jim Lamptey said “You have to sleep to Dream”. Garcia was a disgrace against Rolly. That fight was boring as well, but at least a knock down. Ramirez couldn’t land because Haney was running. Scull ran. So out of your list it’s actually only 2 fights outside of Haney. Which were shocking also. So yes Haney is the most boring fighter.

Chamath Palihapitiya highlights President Trump's remarkable Middle East peace agreement via the Abraham Accords, underscores the growing need for a U.S. border wall, and points out the corporate media's lies about Jared Kushner. Chamath Palihapitiya: "As a Democrat, who has been left homeless, who is now definitely in the center, but probably leaning increasingly right, I'm left yet again with an appreciation, despite the messenger of the message, of the Trump administration, because what those guys did, was pretty incredible. In hindsight, these Abraham Accords, the accords with Israel and the GCC, the almost accord between Israel and Saudi, to really be able to find a long-lasting peace. He's just a real example for the world. And those guys did a lot of really great work." @jason: "It's a miracle when you look at it. Listen, I'm no fan of Trump, but if you objectively look at what they did, it was great work." Chamath then asks if 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' is causing more damage than President Trump, with the left and the media's bias against the messenger overshadowing the importance of the message? Chamath Palihapitiya: "I think the answer is yes... So much of the work that happened in that administration turned out to have been right... The work on the border wall, we didn't like the messenger. So, we killed the message. Turned out it was right. Issuing long-term debt to refinance when rates were at zero. We didn't like the messenger, so we killed the message. A structural peace deal in the Middle East. We didn't like the messenger, so we killed the message... When are we going to actually take the time to look past who was saying things and actually listen to them word for word? ...If you listen to this Lex Fridman podcast, the most important thing that is resoundingly obvious about Jared Kushner is that he is incredibly thoughtful and incredibly competent. And why did we have to spend years being fed all of these stupid lies? Because one can judge for oneself. But Jared Kushner is thoughtful. He's smart. And I thought to myself, I was fed all these lies for years about how this guy was moping around in the shadows and this and that, and it was all not true." Raise your hand if you prefer “Mean Tweets” to war breaking out around the world.

CHAMATH: STAYING IN CALIFORNIA (DESPITE THE TAXES) “It’s given me everything, so I will not leave and I will keep building companies there and hiring people there. And if there’s taxes that I have to pay, I’ll pay these taxes. But I just think that at some point, we’re better off addressing the core issue of why people believe this form of governance actually makes sense. Is it because they actually think it’s better, or is it that they’re just angry about a bunch of other things? And I think it’s mostly the latter, so we should fix that because there is no sane human being that could look at any of this information and think that we are well run. We are completely, completely out of our mind… You know, there is a period where I definitely thought about [leaving California] and I went around. I looked at different places and I thought: ‘Wait a minute, California is incredible, Palo Alto is incredible, it’s given me everything.’ And I just said: ‘Okay, mentally here’s the number and just allocate it and just let’s move on with our lives and get back to building things that I think are important.’ The reason why people are angry, it’s the same reason they were angry in 1890, it’s the same reason they were angry in Europe in 1930 at the beginning, it’s the same reason after 2008, we’ve had all of this pushback, it’s the same reason. So at some point, we should just fix the core problem that everybody is shouting about, as opposed to allowing these other people to pervert the frustration they have into these dumb ideas and programs that are always about, give me more money and I will solve your problems. It just doesn’t work… The core problem is there is a large number of people that look and believe that the latter has been pulled up above them. Why do they believe that right now? I think very specifically technology has had this profoundly positive impact but very, very few of us participated in it. In the way that we all think that we’ve made it better for everybody, looking at Instagram reels does not make your life better. That’s not true. Being able to have a functional search is useful, but it doesn’t necessarily make your life better. So we have to answer the question, how does this economically benefit more people?” Chamath Palihapitiya via Squawk Box Andrew Ross Sorkin Joe Kernen

After being called a conspiracy theorist nonstop for 3 years, and being right about everything with covid…I figured who am I to crap on someone else’s conspiracy theory without checking into it first? So I looked into all of them as a skeptic and to be fair some were garbage, but probably the most shocking conclusion I did come to…is I don’t think we went to the moon. No way. Facebook has been posting nonstop articles trying to prove we did, which I find suspect as I do with everything they push. I thought it was just me, but tons of the comments were from others like me with more questions then answers. So I did a poll on Twitter and as you can see…less than half the people believe we went there for sure, and the rest are either questioning it or saying no: • How did we “lose” the 1960’s technology to get there? Have you seen how crappy these “spaceships” were? We can’t recreate that aluminum foil curtain rod pile of junk, like really? • How the hell did they “accidentally” delete all the original moon landing footage? So now we can’t examine the originals for manipulation? • Who’s manning the camera on the moon that pans without a time delay and follows the crappy looking lunar module as it weirdly and slowly takes off from the moon? The people 300,000 miles away on earth? Really? I can’t even get my cell phone to work in a valley. Nice to know Nixon can just pick up the phone and get through to the moon though… • Why were the astronauts so excited to leave…then depressed AF when they came back? Did they not know they weren’t really going until the last minute? • Why aren’t there any real pictures of earth from space? Why are the same CG cloud patterns used multiple times over and over? Why are the sizes of the continents changing drastically year from year according to official NASA photos? Why does the distance and size of earth from the moon keep changing so drastically? Am I not supposed to believe my eyes? • What about all the live green screen glitches throughout the years? Remember when they took a picture of Bush Sr getting wheeled through…and you can see the guy on green screen who was supposed to be live at the ISS at that same time? • The most common thing I hear from people that it must have happened because Russia, China, and other space agencies would have called us out for it…have you seen their footage? It’s even crappier and less believable than ours. I literally laughed out loud at China’s moon landing. • Have you seen what stars really look like through a modern zoom Nikon lens? They look NOTHING like NASA says they do, and I doubt there as far away as they’re saying either. They legit look like geometric sound energy spheres, each one has its own special resonance, colors, and frequency. I’ll try to post a video below, it blew my mind and I still don’t know what to make of it. • Why all the fake fact checkers coming out in force recently? Why is everyone deemed a “flat earther” if they question what NASA’s doing with our $55 million dollars a day in taxes? You saw what they just did with the Plandemic…you think faking some space pictures to steal tax money is beyond the realm of possibility for these people? I don’t know what they’re covering up, and I’m not going to pretend I do. I imagine pushing “science” like it’s a religion and that we’re all here because of some super lucky, cosmic accident would help the government control people and remove them from God in general. But honestly…the money laundering portion is enough reason alone for these people. That much we do know…. Who knows what they’re up to…all I know, is that I know when I’m being lied to.

🚨HOLY SH*T! If Democrats lose CNN, then you know we’re in trouble. CNN’s Fareed Zakaria TORCHES NYC and other Democrat-led cities over failed policies and astronomical spending, promising everything while wasting billions of taxpayers’ dollars and dodging accountability. “Zohran Mamdani ran on a promise to make New York affordable — a mandate for a city we can afford. Last week, he unveiled a budget that is, in a word, UNAFFORDABLE. NYC’s budget has ballooned in recent years. Michael Bloomberg’s last budget, adopted for fiscal year 2014, totaled about $70 billion. With population decline, New York’s general spending in 2023 was more than 30% higher per capita than Los Angeles and more than double Houston’s. NYC’s largest school district in the country — the city’s education budget — has climbed while enrollment has shrunk. The DOE budget has risen from roughly $34 billion in 2019 to over $40 billion, while the DOE says per-student spending is projected to reach nearly $35,000 in fiscal year 2026, among the highest in the nation. The outputs — graduation numbers, test scores, and reading levels — are, at best, middling, often comparable to places that spend a fraction of what New York does. New York already sits at the extreme end of the American tax spectrum. For high earners, the combined state-plus-city income tax reaches 14.76%, and the combined marginal rate can reach roughly 55% on certain investment income. New Yorkers pay tax rates comparable to European countries that, in return, provide universal healthcare, free college education, and outstanding infrastructure. New Yorkers get some 300 miles of sidewalk sheds. On business taxation, the city is also off the charts: the Citizens Budget Commission reports that New York City business activity faces the country’s highest combined corporate tax rate, 70.44%. Mamdani wants to hike income and corporate rates even further — or else, he says, he will raise property taxes by almost 10%. Property taxes already made up more than 27% of the cost of homeownership in the city as of 2022, above the national average. New York is really a prime example of a problem Democrats seem unwilling to confront: blue cities are out of control — promising more, spending more, delivering less, and pushing off fiscal problems to some future day. Los Angeles is another one-party metropolis wrestling with affordability and disorder. The city’s homelessness budget for fiscal year 2025–2026 totals about $950 million. The LA Homeless Services Authority reported that in 2023 homelessness was up 9% countywide and 10% in the city, and a 2024 AP account noted that homelessness has surged 70% countywide since 2015 and 8% in the city — all this amid public frustration despite billions spent. An audit reviewed $2.4 billion in city homelessness funding and found that officials could not reliably track where it went, what it achieved, or take Chicago, with a mayor whose approval rating is deep underwater, where the pension promises are so large that they will surely bankrupt the city at some point.

🚨HOLY SH*T! If Democrats lose CNN, then you know we’re in trouble. CNN’s Fareed Zakaria TORCHES NYC and other Democrat-led cities over failed policies and astronomical spending, promising everything while wasting billions of taxpayers’ dollars and dodging accountability. “Zohran Mamdani ran on a promise to make New York affordable — a mandate for a city we can afford. Last week, he unveiled a budget that is, in a word, UNAFFORDABLE. NYC’s budget has ballooned in recent years. Michael Bloomberg’s last budget, adopted for fiscal year 2014, totaled about $70 billion. With population decline, New York’s general spending in 2023 was more than 30% higher per capita than Los Angeles and more than double Houston’s. NYC’s largest school district in the country — the city’s education budget — has climbed while enrollment has shrunk. The DOE budget has risen from roughly $34 billion in 2019 to over $40 billion, while the DOE says per-student spending is projected to reach nearly $35,000 in fiscal year 2026, among the highest in the nation. The outputs — graduation numbers, test scores, and reading levels — are, at best, middling, often comparable to places that spend a fraction of what New York does. New York already sits at the extreme end of the American tax spectrum. For high earners, the combined state-plus-city income tax reaches 14.76%, and the combined marginal rate can reach roughly 55% on certain investment income. New Yorkers pay tax rates comparable to European countries that, in return, provide universal healthcare, free college education, and outstanding infrastructure. New Yorkers get some 300 miles of sidewalk sheds. On business taxation, the city is also off the charts: the Citizens Budget Commission reports that New York City business activity faces the country’s highest combined corporate tax rate, 70.44%. Mamdani wants to hike income and corporate rates even further — or else, he says, he will raise property taxes by almost 10%. Property taxes already made up more than 27% of the cost of homeownership in the city as of 2022, above the national average. New York is really a prime example of a problem Democrats seem unwilling to confront: blue cities are out of control — promising more, spending more, delivering less, and pushing off fiscal problems to some future day. Los Angeles is another one-party metropolis wrestling with affordability and disorder. The city’s homelessness budget for fiscal year 2025–2026 totals about $950 million. The LA Homeless Services Authority reported that in 2023 homelessness was up 9% countywide and 10% in the city, and a 2024 AP account noted that homelessness has surged 70% countywide since 2015 and 8% in the city — all this amid public frustration despite billions spent. An audit reviewed $2.4 billion in city homelessness funding and found that officials could not reliably track where it went, what it achieved, or take Chicago, with a mayor whose approval rating is deep underwater, where the pension promises are so large that they will surely bankrupt the city at some point. What is the theory of good government here? If the answer is “keep adding programs,” the city will keep producing unaffordability — because unaffordability is what happens when government becomes a machine that grows faster than the society it governs. NYC’s rental assistance spending rose from $263 million in fiscal year 2020 to $1.3 billion in the most recently reported fiscal year — a fivefold increase in a handful of years — and housing costs only got worse.

210,000 tech workers lost their jobs in 2025. Companies are blaming AI. But Amazon's CEO just admitted the truth, and it's way worse than you think... Every earnings call sounds exactly the same right now: "We're leveraging AI to streamline operations." "Automation is driving unprecedented efficiency." "We're building a leaner, more agile organization for the AI age." Pure bs. Here's what actually happened: 2020-2022: Tech companies panic-hired during the COVID boom. Added 30%, 40%, sometimes 50% more headcount. 2023-2024: Growth slowed. Reality hit. Chickens came home to roost. 2025: Time to pay the bill. 210,000 layoffs so far. That's a 54% increase from last year. But CEOs can't just admit "we hired way too many people and created bureaucratic hell." So they invented a magic excuse: AI did it. Amazon CEO Andy Jassy got caught telling the truth. After cutting 14,000 roles, reporters asked if it was AI replacing workers. His answer: "Not really financially driven, and it's not even really AI driven, not right now at least." Wait... what? "It's culture. If you grow as fast as we did for several years, you end up with a lot more people than you had before, and you end up with a lot more layers." Translation: We fucked up. We hired too many people. Now we're fixing it. But the press release? "Leveraging AI for operational efficiency." IBM CEO Arvind Krishna said the quiet part out loud too: "I think people gorged on employment. Some of the displacement is just people saying, 'I don't need so many people because I went up 30, 40, 50, 100% from 2020 to 2023.'" Gorged on employment. That's the most honest thing a tech CEO has said all year. Meanwhile, actual AI adoption in most of these companies? ChatGPT enterprise licenses. Some automation scripts. Maybe a few pilot programs. They're NOT replacing entire departments with AI agents that do the work. They're just admitting they overstaffed and now they're correcting. But "AI efficiency" sounds innovative. "We hired too many people" sounds incompetent. So guess which story gets told? The numbers don't lie: Verizon: 15,000 workers cut. Largest layoff campaign in company history. The week before Thanksgiving. Intel: Cutting 15-20% of manufacturing division. Microsoft: 9,000 employees cut in 2025. Salesforce: 5,000 roles eliminated, including 4,000 support roles. Every single one blamed "AI transformation" in their public statements. But when you read the fine print or listen to the actual earnings calls, it's always the same story: overhiring, too many layers, bureaucratic bloat. Here's the really insane part: This AI-washing narrative is actually HURTING these companies. Because while they pretend to be "AI-first," they're actually: Destroying institutional knowledge from veteran employees. Killing team morale across remaining staff. Losing competitive talent to companies that aren't playing games. Creating the exact bureaucratic dysfunction they claim to be solving. All to cover up basic management failures from 2020-2022. If your company announces layoffs "because of AI," ask one simple question: What specific AI system is replacing these specific jobs? If the answer is corporate speak about "efficiency" and "transformation" with no actual system names, you're being lied to. The AI revolution is real. AI will change how companies operate. But right now? In December 2025? Most of these layoffs are just old-fashioned management incompetence with a fresh coat of paint. The only thing AI is automating is the excuse.

Hey guys! Check this out‼️ Terrified that the truth will come out, Islamist accounts are doing everything they can to prevent footage of Gazan obesity from being published. They are mass-reporting this content as "adult content" due to men’s chests/gynecomastia in the clips, and the algorithm is falling right into the trap. As you know, throughout the war we have exposed hundreds of luxury restaurants, abundance, and widespread obesity in Gaza. This deeply infuriated the Islamists, who—after failing to find genuinely emaciated people in Gaza to fit their narrative (aside from chronically ill children)—did everything possible to hide the extreme abundance, restaurants, and obesity that Hamas and its supporters have been swimming in. After sharing many of these findings and doing my best to contribute to a more balanced, accurate picture, my previous account of 125,000 followers was taken down. Beyond losing monetization and being permanently shadowbanned, the entire account was flagged for "graphic content" simply for showing overweight men in Gaza with man boobs. When I submitted an appeal requesting human review, I received an automated rejection within less than a minute stating that "your account displays sexual content." Now, they are naturally coming after this new account to take it down as well, aiming to keep blinding the world with their lies and silencing the truth, just as they always do. They are overtaking X with their coordinated reporting—a platform that was theoretically supposed to be the last bastion of free speech for our side—just like they conquered half the world and social media platforms, all while playing the victim and convincing the West that it is the actual conqueror and aggressor. So first, a huge thank you to all my loyal followers who tirelessly share our materials and fight against massive tides of falsehood so the truth can shine through, and to all the key accounts constantly helping to grow my reach. Second, I would deeply appreciate anyone who can help grow and amplify this new account, ask your followers to follow it, and bring this to the attention of Nikita and Elon so they notice this issue and lift the erroneous restrictions caused by mass-reporting campaigns. Thank you so much!❤️🙏🙌

Valieva’s doping story makes perfect sense if you’ve never trained seriously. So what actually happened? A minimal amount of trimetazidine was found in her sample. It is a substance that can potentially increase endurance. Tennis player Jannik Sinner tested positive for a banned substance. A horse ridden by a Swiss athlete also tested positive. That is why commissions exist. They decide whether a disqualification is justified. In Sinner’s case, the explanation was that the substance entered his system through a massage treatment. Fine, it happens. In the German rider’s case, wait for it, the story was that a driver who had been taking the substance basically pissed it into the hay and that is how it got into the horse. Cleared. In Valieva’s case, despite the extremely minimal amount detected, similar in scale to Sinner’s, and despite the fact that it does not improve jumps, she received the longest ban. Try it yourself. First spin in the air or run without coffee. Then drink coffee and do it again. Did you run with more energy? Maybe. Did your rotations suddenly get better? No. Figure skating is not a cyclical endurance sport like triathlon. Jumps require coordination, technique, control of the vertical axis, and natural rotational ability. If you do not have an axis, no matter how much energy you have, you will simply be thrown off to the side. If you try to jump 100 times hoping to improve them, bad news. You will just lock in your mistakes. Valieva also has artistry. That does not mean smiling. It is work through the torso, arms, back, plus clean lines and turnout. When we talk about line, we mean geometry. The relationship between arms, legs, hands, and head. Straight knees, pointed feet, extended fingers, fully finished positions. All these body parts work together to express an image, passion, sadness, joy, innocence. Valieva had preparatory ballet training. That creates a completely different level of expressiveness. The ability to control the torso also gives more control in technique and helps with technical elements. What we see on the ice is a full package built through work in every direction. So this whole PR campaign, which I am sure is paid for, selling the idea that smiling on the ice is the standard of “proper” skating, is a substitution of concepts. Guys, Alysa scored fewer points than the bronze medalist of the previous Olympic Games. Who are they trying to fool? Stories for naive people about how she did not need the gold medal do not match the millions and the photo sessions with that medal. Did not need it? Then give it to the one who was crying. Their claims go as following: Why chase new records? Why stretch your back and legs, why spend years in ballet training? None of that is necessary because we cannot do it. We can smile. So that must be the “right” approach to sport. But that’s an absurd. Another fact that Alysa is half Chinese, and that in men’s skating the American Malinin, who is ethnically Russian (and a brilliant skater), was supposed to win, only adds more questions. So yes, endless manipulation, propaganda, PR campaigns, smear campaigns, corruption in sports, the arts, and beyond, this is also a war on an invisible front. Be informed and do not fall for it.

Remember when AI couldn't draw a hand? Seven fingers, knuckles pointing backwards. And the AI spaghetti videos. That was three years ago. Images are done now. Video is close enough that you scrolled past AI ads this week and clocked exactly zero of them. Code writes itself and there are like 40 coding agents. AI voice spent that entire stretch sounding like the lady voice in a 2014 GPS. Flat, evenly spaced and every sentence landing with the same weight, like it's reading from a phone book. Here's why it stayed broken. Bad images are funny. You screenshot the seven fingers, it goes viral for being bad, someone fixes it. Bad audio is just boring. It doesn't fail spectacularly, so it never got that pressure. The bigger problem was the scoring. The whole industry graded AI voices on whether you could make out the words. So the models learned to over pronounce everything, hitting every syllable like a newsreader. Perfectly clear but robotic. Everyone was chasing a score that had nothing to do with sounding human. Meanwhile a small open-source team was doing something harder. Their lead researcher, an ex-NVIDIA engineer, went all in on an approach the rest of the field had written off. Two years early. No funding announcements or launch tour. He just put the whole thing on GitHub for free. It's sitting at 50,000+ stars now. Then they ran the test everyone else avoided. For 10 days they piped real users through their model and every big competitor with the listener never told which was which. Thousands of real people, real scripts. Whichever voice you actually preferred, they logged it. Theirs came out on top. It beat ElevenLabs about 6 times out of 10, head to head. It beat OpenAI's voice model 8 times out of 10. The gap was widest on the breathing, the pauses, the little hesitations, which is exactly the stuff that makes a voice sound like a person instead of a machine reading. They ran on real users rather than a lab, which is more than most of these claims can say. That's Fish Audio. This week they shipped S2.1 Pro: - Clone anyone's voice from 15 seconds of audio - Fast enough to hold a live conversation - 83 languages, one model - Type [whisper] or [sigh] mid-sentence and it does it - Around 70% cheaper than ElevenLabs - Free to download and run yourself Voice was the last thing on the list. Around 20 people with a free repo got there before other billion dollar companies did.

The book "Excellent Advice for Living" is so good I read it in one sitting. The book is a collection of maxims Kevin Kelly wrote to his adult children. Each maxim contains a bit of wisdom he wish he'd known earlier. 79 maxims that resonated the most (I added #57 selfishly) 1. Choose to believe that the entire universe is conspiring behind your back to make you a success. 2. Mastering the view through the eyes of others will unlock many doors. 3. If you can avoid seeking the approval of others your power is limitless. 4. The reward for good work is more work. 5. Don’t be the best. Be the only. 6. The urgent is a tyrant. The important should be your king. 7. Find smart people who will disagree with you. 8. The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing. 9. The most counterintuitive truth of the universe is that the more you give to others the more you'll get. 10. Life gets better as you replace transactions with relationships. 11. Courtesy costs nothing. 12. Life lessons will be presented to you in the order they are needed. 13. Cultivate an allergy to average. 14. If you repeated what you did today 365 more times would you be where you want to be next year? 15. If you're alive that means you still have lessons to learn. 16. Master something. Through mastery of one thing you'll command a viewpoint to steadily find where your bliss is. 17. Trust is earned in drops and lost in buckets. 18. First, always ask for what you want. Works in relationships, business, life. 19. If nobody else does what you do you won't need a resume. 20. How to apologize: quickly, specifically, sincerely. 21. The best way to advise people is to find out what they really want to do and then advise them to do it. 22. It is certain that 99% of the stuff you are anxious about won't happen. 23. What is important is not what happened to you but what you did about what happened to you. 24. Your golden ticket is being able to see things from other people's point of view. 25. Pay attention to who you are around when you feel best. Be with them more often. 26. To get your message across follow this formula: simplify, simplify, simplify, then exaggerate. 27. You will thrive more when you promote what you love rather than bash what you hate. 28. To be interesting just tell your own story with uncommon honesty. 29. When you truly think for yourself your conclusions will not be predictable. 30. Don’t measure your life with someone else’s ruler. 31. For maximum results focus on your biggest opportunities, not your biggest problems. 32. Pay attention to what you pay attention to. 33. Do more of what looks like work to others but is play for you. 34. Don't bother fighting the old just build the new. 35. Don't compare your inside to someone else's outside. 36. When you're stuck explain your problem to others. 37. Most stories are improved significantly if you delete the first page. Start with the action. 38. A long game will compound small gains that will be able to overcome even big mistakes. 39. Constantly search for overlapping areas of agreement and dwell there. 40. It is your destiny to work on things that only you can do. 41. Make stuff that is good for people to have. 42. You'll get 10 times better results by elevating good behavior rather than punishing bad behavior. 43. Life is not a straight line for anyone. 44. Aim for tasks that you never want to stop doing. 45. Regularly scheduled sabbaths, sabbaticals, vacations, breaks, aimless walks, and time off are essential for top performance of any kind. 46. Don't mistake a clear view of the future for a short distance. 47. Efficiency is highly overrated 48. Greatness is incompatible with optimizing in the short term. 49. The greatest teacher is called "doing." 50. Figure out what time of day you are most productive and protect that time period. 51. You are much better off delivering unwelcome news to someone yourself directly. 52. Don't ever work for someone you don't want to become. 53. Take one simple thing — almost anything — but take it extremely seriously as if it is the only thing in the world 54. Be frugal in all things except in your passions. 55. About 99% of the time the right time is right now. 56. Finite games are played to win or lose. Infinite games are played to keep the game going. Seek out infinite games because they yield unlimited rewards. 57. To be remarkable, read books. 58. Be a good ancestor. Do something a future generation will thank you for. 59. Bad things can happen fast but almost all good things happen slowly. 60. To transcend the influence of your heroes copy them shamelessly like a student until you get them out of your system. That is the way of all masters. 61. Don't worry how or where you begin. As long as you keep moving, your success will arrive far from where you start. 62. It is much easier to change how you think by changing your behavior, than it is to change your behavior by changing how you think. Act out the change you seek. 63. If you meet a jerk, ignore them. If you meet jerks everywhere every day, look deeper into yourself 64. Writing down one thing you are grateful each day is the cheapest possible therapy ever. 65. Ignore what others may be thinking of you because they aren't thinking of you. 66. Passion, persistence, belief, and ingenuity are required to invent new things. Qualities the poor and young often have in abundance. Stay hungry. 67. Calm is contagious. 68. When crises strike don't waste them. No problems, no progress. 69. Your purpose is to discover your purpose. This is not a paradox. This is the way. 70. Your passions should fit you exactly but your purpose in life should exceed you. 71. Fear makes people do stupid things. 72. When someone is nasty, hateful, or mean toward you treat their behavior like an affliction or illness they have. That makes it easier to have empathy toward them which can soften the conflict. 73. You don't need more time because you already have all the time you will ever get; you need more focus. 74. Compliment people behind their back. It'll come back to you. 75. Expand your mind by thinking with your feet on a walk or with your hand in a notebook. Think outside your brain. 76. Gratitude will unlock all other virtues. 77. You choose to be lucky by believing that any setbacks are just temporary. 78. It is useful to organize your thoughts with someone you trust and admire. 79. Over the long term the future is decided by optimists. To be an optimist you don't have to ignore the multitude of problems we create; you just imagine how much our ability to solve problems improves.

The book "Excellent Advice for Living" is so good I read it in one sitting. The book is a collection of maxims Kevin Kelly wrote to his adult children. Each maxim contains a bit of wisdom he wish he'd known earlier. 79 maxims that resonated the most (I added #57 selfishly) 1. Choose to believe that the entire universe is conspiring behind your back to make you a success. 2. Mastering the view through the eyes of others will unlock many doors. 3. If you can avoid seeking the approval of others your power is limitless. 4. The reward for good work is more work. 5. Don’t be the best. Be the only. 6. The urgent is a tyrant. The important should be your king. 7. Find smart people who will disagree with you. 8. The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing. 9. The most counterintuitive truth of the universe is that the more you give to others the more you'll get. 10. Life gets better as you replace transactions with relationships. 11. Courtesy costs nothing. 12. Life lessons will be presented to you in the order they are needed. 13. Cultivate an allergy to average. 14. If you repeated what you did today 365 more times would you be where you want to be next year? 15. If you're alive that means you still have lessons to learn. 16. Master something. Through mastery of one thing you'll command a viewpoint to steadily find where your bliss is. 17. Trust is earned in drops and lost in buckets. 18. First, always ask for what you want. Works in relationships, business, life. 19. If nobody else does what you do you won't need a resume. 20. How to apologize: quickly, specifically, sincerely. 21. The best way to advise people is to find out what they really want to do and then advise them to do it. 22. It is certain that 99% of the stuff you are anxious about won't happen. 23. What is important is not what happened to you but what you did about what happened to you. 24. Your golden ticket is being able to see things from other people's point of view. 25. Pay attention to who you are around when you feel best. Be with them more often. 26. To get your message across follow this formula: simplify, simplify, simplify, then exaggerate. 27. You will thrive more when you promote what you love rather than bash what you hate. 28. To be interesting just tell your own story with uncommon honesty. 29. When you truly think for yourself your conclusions will not be predictable. 30. Don’t measure your life with someone else’s ruler. 31. For maximum results focus on your biggest opportunities, not your biggest problems. 32. Pay attention to what you pay attention to. 33. Do more of what looks like work to others but is play for you. 34. Don't bother fighting the old just build the new. 35. Don't compare your inside to someone else's outside. 36. When you're stuck explain your problem to others. 37. Most stories are improved significantly if you delete the first page. Start with the action. 38. A long game will compound small gains that will be able to overcome even big mistakes. 39. Constantly search for overlapping areas of agreement and dwell there. 40. It is your destiny to work on things that only you can do. 41. Make stuff that is good for people to have. 42. You'll get 10 times better results by elevating good behavior rather than punishing bad behavior. 43. Life is not a straight line for anyone. 44. Aim for tasks that you never want to stop doing. 45. Regularly scheduled sabbaths, sabbaticals, vacations, breaks, aimless walks, and time off are essential for top performance of any kind. 46. Don't mistake a clear view of the future for a short distance. 47. Efficiency is highly overrated 48. Greatness is incompatible with optimizing in the short term. 49. The greatest teacher is called "doing." 50. Figure out what time of day you are most productive and protect that time period. 51. You are much better off delivering unwelcome news to someone yourself directly. 52. Don't ever work for someone you don't want to become. 53. Take one simple thing — almost anything — but take it extremely seriously as if it is the only thing in the world 54. Be frugal in all things except in your passions. 55. About 99% of the time the right time is right now. 56. Finite games are played to win or lose. Infinite games are played to keep the game going. Seek out infinite games because they yield unlimited rewards. 57. To be remarkable, read books. 58. Be a good ancestor. Do something a future generation will thank you for. 59. Bad things can happen fast but almost all good things happen slowly. 60. To transcend the influence of your heroes copy them shamelessly like a student until you get them out of your system. That is the way of all masters. 61. Don't worry how or where you begin. As long as you keep moving, your success will arrive far from where you start. 62. It is much easier to change how you think by changing your behavior, than it is to change your behavior by changing how you think. Act out the change you seek. 63. If you meet a jerk, ignore them. If you meet jerks everywhere every day, look deeper into yourself 64. Writing down one thing you are grateful each day is the cheapest possible therapy ever. 65. Ignore what others may be thinking of you because they aren't thinking of you. 66. Passion, persistence, belief, and ingenuity are required to invent new things. Qualities the poor and young often have in abundance. Stay hungry. 67. Calm is contagious. 68. When crises strike don't waste them. No problems, no progress. 69. Your purpose is to discover your purpose. This is not a paradox. This is the way. 70. Your passions should fit you exactly but your purpose in life should exceed you. 71. Fear makes people do stupid things. 72. When someone is nasty, hateful, or mean toward you treat their behavior like an affliction or illness they have. That makes it easier to have empathy toward them which can soften the conflict. 73. You don't need more time because you already have all the time you will ever get; you need more focus. 74. Compliment people behind their back. It'll come back to you. 75. Expand your mind by thinking with your feet on a walk or with your hand in a notebook. Think outside your brain. 76. Gratitude will unlock all other virtues. 77. You choose to be lucky by believing that any setbacks are just temporary. 78. It is useful to organize your thoughts with someone you trust and admire. 79. Over the long term the future is decided by optimists. To be an optimist you don't have to ignore the multitude of problems we create; you just imagine how much our ability to solve problems improves.

John Mayer is a master of his craft. He’s also one of the best I’ve come across at using analogy and demonstration to articulate and demystify the creative process. Here’s a 14-clip (~7-minute) masterclass on mastery and creativity: TL;DW 1/ “Whenever I want to write a big song, I can't...That's when I get writer's block: when I try to write a song to fill the entire galaxy. I've never gotten a song that way. But if I write about something the size of a glass of water—a week later, I notice it's got the universe in it. So I'd rather have the universe in a glass of water than try to make a glass of water fit in the universe.” 2/ "What connects with people is you connecting with yourself." 3/ “Writer’s block is when the two people inside of you—the writer and the reader—when the reader doesn’t love the writer. It is not a failure to write. It is a failure to catch the feedback loop of enjoying what you’re seeing and wanting to contribute more to it.” 4/ “Don't shoot ideas down before you have them. 'That won't work' is the worst thing you can ever say. 'That didn't work' is cool, but 'that won't work' is not a way to go through life.” 5/ “I’ve seen the Cool metric change so many times. I'm not telling you don't chase Cool. I'm saying…by the time you reach what you think is cool, Cool is like, 'over here now.’ ‘The princess is in another castle.' You know what I mean? That's a Mario reference.” 6/ "I'm one-half consumer, one-half artist. So I try to put music out that I myself would want to hear as somebody on the other end." 7/ "I'm seeing a lot of motivation about you following your passion, but I'm not seeing any critical thought to what that is or how to be better at that. So, really the product is passion and that's strange to me. Because my product growing up was sitting in a room yelling, 'Mom, I'm practicing,' for hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours. 8/ "But then also read up...You know, this stuff doesn't just appear. It comes from somewhere. And as soon as you realize you love something—it's almost like catching up with some great TV show on season 9, and you can go, 'oh my God, that means there's 8 seasons before this." 9/ "Whatever you learn is the tip of the iceberg. Dive underwater and find the rest of the iceberg." 10/ "So listening to Stevie Ray Vaughan brought me back to people like Kenny Burrell and Albert King and Jimi Hendrix and Elmore James. So it became this family tree growing out of my CD player." 11/ "I came up with these guys as like references…It’s like if you're into the NBA and you wear different jerseys and you pretend you're a different player in the driveway—that's what I was doing..." 12/ "Which is a wonderful technique for being yourself. Failing to sound exactly like the person you want to sound like is a wonderful way to sound like yourself." 13/ After watching Cory Wong play guitar, Mayer told him, "You have an anatomy thing working on your right hand. Your hand is shaped in a way—you have long fingers, very sinewy hands—that you're able to play like that. That is an example of someone making the most of their anatomical gifts... And I wish more people could embrace finding what their strengths are anatomically—the way your hand is shaped, the way your mind works, whatever—and play to those strengths." 14/ Mayer picks up an acoustic guitar and demonstrates his songwriting process. “Well, I don’t always do it,” he admitted, “because it requires a stupid bravery all the time.” “You just stare at the corner of the wall," Mayer explains then improvises some vocals, “stare at the corner of the wall / try to get it going on / but I can’t sometimes / you just keep going ’til you get something,” he stops singing. “You gotta keep forcing it, forcing it, forcing it…it doesn’t matter [what comes out of your mouth].” Follow Billy Oppenheimer for more content like this!

Yesterday was, without a doubt, the worst concert experience of my life. The show itself wasn't the problem. Everything around it was. The organization was an absolute disaster from start to finish. I arrived at 7:00 AM, yet people who showed up at 2 or 3 PM somehow managed to end up in front of me when it was time to enter the stadium. They got better spots simply because the queue management was a complete mess. After waiting all day, that was incredibly frustrating. We were also packed so tightly that I even sprained my thumb just trying to sit down for a moment. Water distribution was chaotic despite people waiting for hours. Once the concert started, being front row became terrifying. Every time Abel came to our side, the crowd surged forward. I was crushed against the barricade over and over again. The girl next to me was in the same situation. She even spoke to stadium security, but nothing changed. For several moments, I genuinely feared being seriously hurt. As for me... yes, Abel ignored me again. And honestly, I can understand why. I'm probably that overly enthusiastic fan who's always around, and I sometimes worry I come across as annoying, or even intimidating. Not only with him, but with his team too. The truth is, I admire them just as much, because without them, these shows simply wouldn't be what they are. I think my enthusiasm probably scares people sometimes. But I've never wanted anything from anyone. I've never asked for anything, expected anything, or tried to get something in return. I just genuinely admire the work, the art, and every single person who makes it possible. Nothing more. If I'm perceived differently, it hurts, but it is what it is. Despite everything, there are three memories I'll keep forever. 🖤 Spending hours in the queue with my friend Louise . She made the wait so much better. 🖤 Watching Louise have the most beautiful interactions with Abel. She has followed him for so many years and been to so many shows. Seeing her finally get those unforgettable moments made me genuinely happier than anything that happened to me. She deserved every second of it. 🖤 The tribute to Kavinsky. Abel's words & when Odd Look started, I completely broke down. It was powerful, emotional, and beautifully done. I cried my heart out. Deep down, I know I needed to be there for that moment. I'll never forget it. So yes, this was my worst concert experience. But thanks to Louise... and thanks to that unforgettable tribute to Kavinsky... I'll still leave with memories that mean the world to me. And one last thing: Abel was perfect, as always. The concert itself was incredible. None of what happened is on him. 🖤

This pixar-style animated Lymphoria liver ad has been printing for 58 days as the #1 top-performing ad at scale because it took an invisible internal problem and turned it into a detestable cartoon villain you actively want to defeat. Plus the fact that it's still scaling in the supplement space (which is the most ruthless, fatigue-prone vertical there is) tells me the underlying psychology is so dialed in that the algorithm just keeps feeding it new audiences without burning out. Let me break this down piece by piece so you understand what's actually happening here. (If you’re interested in making pixar-style animated ads like this, DM me ‘PIXAR’) Initially, the hook makes the invisible enemy visible. "Liver Congestion" personified as a yellow, lumpy little villain saying "nothing flows, nothing heals." This isn't generic "support your liver health" bullshit. This is the entire problem most supplement brands struggle with, solved in 3 seconds. And the people who see this hook are: ⦁ Already worried about their organ health ⦁ Already frustrated by supplements that don't work ⦁ Already aware something is off but can't see it If you've ever felt that dull ache under your ribs and didn't know what it was, you're stopping your scroll right here. This is textbook problem-aware messaging for an INVISIBLE problem, which is the hardest thing to pull off in supplements. Most brands try to show a doctor in a white coat and lose. These guys gave the disease a face and made you hate it. Then, they do something most brands are too scared to try. They take down the competitors by name. ⦁ Milk Thistle (can't help when drainage is blocked) ⦁ Detox Tea (just makes you run to the bathroom) ⦁ NAC (boosts glutathione but misses drainage) Why does this work so well? Because it's: ⦁ Specific (real products people have already tried) ⦁ Empathetic (you weren't stupid, the products were incomplete) ⦁ Educational (here's the biological reason why they failed) Where most brands say "we're better than the rest" and nobody believes them, These guys are saying "here's exactly why what you tried before couldn't work" and that's a completely different conversation. This is the "throw rocks at their enemies" framework executed at the highest level. And that builds insane trust before you've even pitched your product. It also introduces a brand new mechanism. Drainage. This is the epiphany bridge. You're shifting the entire conversation from "protect your liver" to "drain your liver" and now they're the only ones selling that solution. That's how you escape the supplement commodity trap. Another thing is the ingredients are personified as ACTIONS, not features. ⦁ Red Clover physically pushes through blocks ⦁ Stillingia drains lymphatic buildup with long roots ⦁ Cleavers vacuums smaller congestion pieces ⦁ Prickly Ash clears remaining blockages Instead of just listing ingredients and percentages like every other supplement brand, these guys are SHOWING the ingredients doing the work. Because when you watch Red Clover physically shove a yellow congestion blob out of the way, your brain stops asking "does this work?" and starts asking "where do I buy this?" This is also why the retention rates on this video are crushing. Every 2-3 seconds there's a new character, a new action, a new visual. Your dopamine doesn't have time to drop. You can't scroll because you want to see what happens next. Then they drop a sniper-level pain callout. "Aching liver enzymes under their ribs." That's not a generic "feel better" claim. That's a hyper-specific physical sensation that people with actual liver issues experience. This is dog-whistle copy. When you describe someone's exact physical pain better than they can describe it themselves, their brain automatically assumes you have the solution. Most brands write copy that could apply to anyone. This line could only apply to someone who actually has the problem. Another upside is, the back-end conversion mechanics are airtight. ⦁ 60-day guarantee (removes the "another failed supplement" objection) ⦁ 43,000 people (turns it from gamble to mainstream) ⦁ 40% off (urgency to click now, not later) By the time you hit the landing page, every objection has been pre-handled inside the creative itself. That's why the conversion rate stays high. It's built for cold traffic too. This ad works on people who've never heard of Lymphoria because: ⦁ Visualizes a problem they couldn't see before ⦁ Validates every failed thing they've tried ⦁ Introduces a completely new mechanism (drainage) That's why it scales without burning out. It's not dependent on brand recognition as the creative does all the heavy lifting. So what should you steal from this? If you're selling supplements or any internal health product: 1. Personify the problem (give the disease a face) 2. Take down competitors by name (with biological reasoning, not just bashing) 3. Introduce a new mechanism the category isn't using yet 4. Show ingredients as ACTIONS, not features 5. Use hyper-specific physical pain callouts 6. Stack risk reversal + social proof + urgency on the back end 7. Build retention with a new character every 2-3 seconds 8. Stop running boring "doctor in a white coat" creative If your supplement ads are still listing ingredients with bullet points and showing stock footage of healthy people jogging, you're getting destroyed by ads like this that turn the problem into a movie villain and your product into the hero that defeats it. This ad works because it doesn't sell a supplement. It sells a story where the buyer is the protagonist who finally figures out why nothing else worked. Most ads try to convince. This one just tells a story so good that the buyer convinces themselves. That's why it's been running for 58 days as their top converting ad at scale.

Hard Hats for Soft Hearts For the last several years, I’ve been on a bit of a philanthropic kick. Rick Steves' Europe takes more than 30,000 people on guided tours of Europe every year, and with no stockholders in the company (other than me), I make lots of money. I’ve long passed the point where consuming more makes me happier — and rather than finding non-productive ways to blow this money on myself, I’ve become an entrepreneurial small-time philanthropist who delights in what I like to call “vicarious consumption.” (Yes, getting joy out of other people consuming my extra money.) In a society as affluent as ours with so many seniors, youth, and struggling people who can’t find or afford help, I like to “consume” by investing in things that make my community stronger, more stable, and healthier — it’s my way of “being wealthy”…and I consider this a political act. My travels in Europe have taught me that a truly great society collectively helps each other through progressive taxation and a caring government. But, with our current president, that just isn’t the way things work in the US. (I’ll be getting an obscene tax cut thanks to our president’s loyalty to the 1% at the expense of the 99%…just wait to see how — as a political statement against such regressive taxation — I’ll be “taxing myself” at an appropriate level…and putting it to good use.) About 25 years ago, I purchased some land adjacent to my church, and I was determined to find a smart way for us to put it to good use. Since then, I’ve given that land to my church, and we’ve partnered with Volunteers of America Western Washington to build a vibrant new hub of multigenerational and multicultural services that will serve thousands of people in our region — all powered by $5 million in seed money from me to help make it happen. And now, thanks to caring citizens, forward-thinking civic leaders, and generous grants from local foundations, corporations, and government programs, this $25M project is 95% paid for, and a 40,000-square-foot, LEED Gold Certified building is nearly built. This November, the Lynnwood Neighborhood Center will open its doors. Inside, our neighbors will find preschool classrooms, a Boys and Girls Club, a teen room, a multipurpose gym, adult day care for seniors with memory issues, medical and dental clinics, a behavioral health center, a teaching kitchen and café, housing and employment support, a tech center, low-cost meeting and event spaces for struggling nonprofits, and a multigenerational “piazza” where we can all come together as a community. “Vicarious consumption?” Yes, what a fun, gratifying — and these days, almost subversive — way to be wealthy. I’m so happy to help create this community hub, which is destined to give our community’s love traction long after those of us who built it are gone. While I may be the public face of this project, it couldn’t have happened without my 100 mission-driven colleagues at Rick Steves’ Europe — and travelers like you who enjoy our tours and guidebooks. I recently gave my staff a tour of the construction site, and thanks to this five-minute video, you can put on your own virtual hard hat and come along. As you join us, think about the power of neighbors coming together with the support of local businesses and caring civic leaders to turn dreams like this into joyful reality — and if, like me, you happen to have more money than you need to be happy…think of a creative way to steal this idea.

Ep. 26: Cyan Banister - A Fool's Dérive Cyan Banister (Cyan Banister) is an investor, artist, and co-founder and General Partner of Long Journey. Previously, Cyan spent four years at Founders Fund and has a legendary angel investing track record alongside her husband, Scott, including early rounds in SpaceX, Uber, and DeepMind. Cyan is as original as they come: she grew up on a Navajo reservation and was homeless by 15, with a series of unlikely serendipitous moments combined with optimism, agency, and love of capitalism taking her to a very different life than the one she grew up with. I focused this conversation not on Cyan's work, but her unique approach to living. We begin with Cyan’s “church”: a weekly visit to see Bobby McFerrin and co. do live, jazz acapella in Berkeley, CA. We discuss how this space ties to presence, openness, and play, and then talk about the tension between novelty and consistency as she continues on her own path toward self-love and mindfulness. She also tells me about her radical approach to accountability and the empowering results of assuming that everything is her fault. One of Cyan's favorite words is the French dérive, or an intentional drift, and it embodies her approach to the world. She moves with childlike wonder, seeking to see things and people from new perspectives and challenging others to react beyond their default settings. She daydreams about the outcomes she wants and has remarkable conviction and faith even when others do not believe her. We wrap with a grab bag representative of Cyan's diverse interests, from filmmaking and performance art to the US Constitution to Bill Murray. Cyan manages to combine randomness and intentionality, naiveté and sober-minded awareness, humility and conviction. I hope you are are as inspired as I am to live more playfully, seriously, and courageously.

New episode on The Creative Genius of Rick Rubin This episode contains a nonstop stream of ideas directly from Rick about how to make great work over a long period of time: (01:00) Just one habit, at the top of any field, can be enough to give an edge over the competition. Wooden considered every aspect of the game where an issue might arise, and trained his players for each one. Repeatedly. Until they became habits. The goal was immaculate performance. Wooden often said the only person you’re ever competing against is yourself. The rest is out of your control. This way of thinking applies to the creative life just as well. For both the artist and the athlete, the details matter, whether the players recognize their importance or not. Good habits create good art. The way we do anything is the way we do everything. Treat each choice you make, each action you take, each word you speak with skillful care. The goal is to live your life in the service of art. (08:41) Faith allows you to trust the direction without needing to understand it. (10:16) If you make the choice of reading classic literature every day for a year, rather than reading the news, by the end of that time period you’ll have a more honed sensitivity for recognizing greatness from the books than from the media. This applies to every choice we make. Not just with art, but with the friends we choose, the conversations we have, even the thoughts we reflect on. All of these aspects affect our ability to distinguish good from very good, very good from great. They help us determine what’s worthy of our time and attention. Because there’s an endless amount of data available to us and we have a limited bandwidth to conserve, we might consider carefully curating the quality of what we allow in. The objective is not to learn to mimic greatness, but to calibrate our internal meter for greatness. So we can better make the thousands of choices that might ultimately lead to our own great work. (14:25) We’re affected by our surroundings, and finding the best environment to create a clear channel is personal and to be tested. (27:57) Rules direct us to average behaviors. If we’re aiming to create works that are exceptional, most rules don’t apply. Average is nothing to aspire to. The goal is not to fit in. Communicate your singular perspective. (28:30) It’s a healthy practice to approach our work with as few accepted rules, starting points, and limitations as possible. Often the standards in our chosen medium are so ubiquitous, we take them for granted. They are invisible and unquestioned. (29:00) The world isn’t waiting for more of the same. The most innovative ideas come from those who master the rules to such a degree that they can see past them or from those who never learned them at all. (38:50) Fear of criticism. Attachment to a commercial result. Competing with past work. Time and resource constraints. The aspiration of wanting to change the world. And any story beyond “I want to make the best thing I can make, whatever it is” are all undermining forces in the quest for greatness. (42:32) To hone your craft is to honor creation. By practicing to improve, you are fulfilling your ultimate purpose on this planet. A lot more ideas in this episode including: The importance of developing a practice of paying attention, why impatience is an argument with reality, why you need to create space in your schedule to tap into ideas in from your subconscious, why you'll find what you're searching for by looking deeper, the reason it is important to carefully curate the quality of what we allow in: people, ideas, content, why rereading the same books again and again can help you find new ideas, how to find the environment that allows you to produce your best work —and how other artists have done so, several examples of the people that are the best in the world at what they do being full of self-doubt —and yet they do it anyways, why adversity is unavoidable, if you want to make great work for a long time you can’t self-sabotage, why the goal is to keep playing (Rubin has been playing for 40+ years), how you can overcome insecurities by naming them, how you can doubt your way to excellence, why distraction is not procrastination and why distraction can be a strategy in service of the work, why if you're aiming to create works that are exceptional most rules don’t apply, the importance of communicating your singular perspective, and why if there is one rule on creativity that’s unbreakable it’s that the need for patience is ever-present.

New episode on The Creative Genius of Rick Rubin This episode contains a nonstop stream of ideas directly from Rick about how to make great work over a long period of time: (01:00) Just one habit, at the top of any field, can be enough to give an edge over the competition. Wooden considered every aspect of the game where an issue might arise, and trained his players for each one. Repeatedly. Until they became habits. The goal was immaculate performance.

Lead HPV Vaccine Developer Comes Clean So She Can “Sleep At Night” Dr. Diane Harper was a lead researcher in Merck's Gardasil clinical trials. Also a practicing OB/GYN, she has a unique and invaluable perspective on the efficacy, safety, and social issues of HPV vaccines. ‘Gardasil and Cervarix don’t work, are dangerous, and weren’t tested. Dr. Diane Harper was the lead researcher in the development of the human papilloma virus vaccines, Gardasil and Cervarix. She is the latest to come forward and question the safety and effectiveness of these vaccines. She made the surprising announcement at the 4th International Public Conference on Vaccination, which took place in Reston, Virginia on Oct. 2nd through 4th, 2009. Her speech was supposed to promote the Gardasil and Cervarix vaccines, but she instead turned on her corporate bosses in a very public way. When questioned about the presentation, audience members remarked that they came away feeling that the vaccines should not be used. “I came away from the talk with the perception that the risk of adverse side effects is so much greater than the risk of cervical cancer, I couldn’t help but question why we need the vaccine at all.” – Joan Robinson Dr. Harper explained in her presentation that the cervical cancer risk in the U.S. is already extremely low, and that vaccinations are unlikely to have any effect upon the rate of cervical cancer in the United States. In fact, 70% of all H.P.V. infections resolve themselves without treatment in a year, and the number rises to well over 90% in two years. Harper also mentioned the safety angle. All trials of the vaccines were done on children aged 15 and above, despite them currently being marketed for 9-year-olds. So far, over 69,000 girls have reported adverse side effects from Gardasil alone to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (V.A.E.R.S.), and this number only reflects parents who underwent the hurdles required for reporting adverse reactions. At the time of writing, 44 girls are officially known to have died from these vaccines. The reported side effects include Guillian Barré Syndrome (paralysis lasting for years, or permanently — sometimes eventually causing suffocation), lupus, seizures, blood clots, and brain inflammation. Parents are usually not made aware of these risks. Dr. Harper, the vaccine developer, claimed that she was speaking out, so that she might finally be able to sleep at night. “About eight in every ten women who have been sexually active will have H.P.V. at some stage of their life. Normally there are no symptoms, and in 98 per cent of cases it clears itself. But in those cases where it doesn’t, and isn’t treated, it can lead to pre-cancerous cells which may develop into cervical cancer.” – Dr. Diane Harper One must understand how the establishment’s word games are played to truly understand the meaning of the above quote, and one needs to understand its unique version of “science”. When they report that untreated cases “can” lead to something that “may” lead to cervical cancer, it really means that the relationship is merely a hypothetical conjecture that is profitable if people actually believe it. In other words, there is no demonstrated relationship between the condition being vaccinated for and the rare cancers that the vaccine might prevent, but it is marketed to do that nonetheless. In fact, there is no actual evidence that the vaccine can prevent any cancer. From the manufacturers own admissions, the vaccine only works on 4 strains out of 40 for a specific venereal disease that dies on its own in a relatively short period, so the chance of it actually helping an individual is about about the same as the chance of them being struck by a meteorite. Why do nine-year-old girls need vaccinations for extremely rare and symptom-less venereal diseases that the immune system usually kills anyway?’
