It’s George.
No matter who you are, at some point, you will probably struggle with a "light" mental health issue, whether that's called minor depression, anxiety and so on.
This is totally normal since, in this day and age, we face the following conditions that create the perfect storm for them:
-Everyone grew up in a less-than-ideal environment.
No matter how loving or well-intentioned someone’s parents or caregivers were, the upbringing everyone receives is almost always imbalanced in one way or another.
This is totally normal and this imbalance tends to create both vulnerabilities and strengths.
It’s just that you’ll always be aware of your weaknesses, but you’ll have to discover your strengths.
As a side note, a very foolish attempt to engineer a “perfect” childhood will simply produce a fragile individual rather than a resilient human being with normal flaws.
Paradoxically, some degree of overcorrection is itself a natural part of psychological development.
-Most of the structure of modern life is profoundly unnatural both for our biology but for our minds as well.
From the fact that you can no longer operate at a basic human level and have to master 90 different things just to survive, to overstimulation, constant noise 24/7, high caloric malnutrition, isolation, chronic stress, material overconsumption and the fact that you have to sit in a chair for hours on end, all these create an environment our nervous systems were never designed to handle.

-Your genes no longer match your environment.
Your genes, shaped over thousands of generations in very different environments, no longer perfectly match the modern world we live in.
Variants in genes such as COMT, MTHFR, and MAO have received a lot of attention in recent years for their links to mood, focus, and stress resilience.
It’s important to remember that these variants are not simply “defects.”
Many of them likely played useful roles in ancestral environments.
For example, certain low-activity variants in the MAOA gene are associated with higher impulsivity, irritability, or difficulty concentrating in today’s settings.
In the context of hunter-gatherer or high-threat environments, however, the same traits may have conferred advantages, such as quicker reactions, higher drive, or greater willingness to take risks in hunting, competition, or defense.
Similar trade-offs exist with other genes.
The COMT Val158Met variant influences dopamine levels in the prefrontal cortex, with different alleles potentially favoring either stress resilience (“warrior” strategy) or cognitive performance in stable conditions (“worrier” strategy).
MTHFR variants affect folate metabolism and may have offered advantages related to fetal viability or cancer protection in certain historical dietary contexts, even while increasing risks in others.
In short, what feels like a liability today was often an asset yesterday.
-We are trying to pathologize as many things as we can for profit.
In some contexts for example, not experiencing problems such as anxiety and depression can be problematic.
These feelings and situations by themselves should not be pathologized out of a certain context.
Let’s say that my mom has to undergo a routine surgery in a month.
Not feeling the tiny bit of anxiety or worry is as pathological as feeling anxiety to the point of me not being able to eat, sleep or focus on work.
And this is of course without even mentioning issues suchas that technological innovation has reached the point of quite literally driving some people mad and inducing psychosis.

NEW | The Iranian regime appears to have expanded its threshold for attacking Israel as part of its broader effort to preserve Hezbollah. (1/7)
The Khatam ol Anbia Central Headquarters announced the “cessation of armed forces operations” against Israel but threatened that Iranian forces would inflict “much more severe and crushing measures” if the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) continues to operate against Hezbollah, including in southern Lebanon. Iranian officials and media have previously only threatened to attack Israel if the IDF struck Beirut. (2/7)
The Iranian regime’s inclusion of Israeli activity in southern Lebanon in its threshold for attacking Israel is part of the Iranian effort to try to curb Israeli operations against Hezbollah, particularly by trying to pressure the United States to convince Israel to halt operations against Hezbollah.

⭕️🧵Full details from last night's marathon of talks and consultations between Bibi and Trump and senior US leadership: In Israel, there was a desire to carry out a more "significant" attack in terms of the targets to be hit. Among other things, last night there was a discussion with the US leadership about the possibility of attacking energy facilities—the US message was unequivocal: NO
📌 As is known, PM Netanyahu spoke last night with President Trump, but not only him; there was a marathon of talks held last night by PM Netanyahu, including with Secretary of State Rubio and Secretary of War Hegeseth, where they went into the details and targets to be attacked.
📌 Senior Israelis briefed on the Netanyahu-Trump conversation say President Trump told the PM: attack and move on.

"The enemy is loading UAVs with all sorts of destructive elements. The enemy doesn't care what they use to kill you, as long as it kills you. The enemy is hitting everything that moves on the roads."

The enemy is begging other countries for weapons. The enemy is ready to crawl on their knees just to be given weapons to kill Russians.

"Because this Court has elevated unadulterated textualism over common sense

A pair of drug dealers ran an operation out of their home. Other dealers would sell drugs for them. One had a propensity to OD. She obtained drugs and died. Can the home-owner/chief drug dealer be prosecuted for dealing drugs and death resulting? Yes, per Judge Abudu.
Judge Abudu, joined by Judge Rosenbaum, concurs to explain why, under Eleventh Circuit precedent she reaches the result the sentence is constitutional. But she calls on the Eleventh Circuit to reconsider its precedent. Given her view of the law, she finds affirmance is required.
Aleister Crowley’s Liber 333, "The Book of Lies," is a masterpiece of philosophical disruption. Published around 1912, it isn’t just a collection of cryptic occult riddles, but a highly conscious manual designed to decondition the human mind from its own illusions.

To truly understand its design, one must look beyond the printed table of contents... On the surface, the book presents exactly 91 manifest chapters, but its true initiatory architecture holds a hidden totally of 93, deeply tied to the core of Thelemic philosophy.
This numerical blind spot is achieved through two unnumbered keys: Chapter 0 (the question mark representing Nuit's void) and the "Ante Præscriptum" preface... Together, they shift the book's frequency from 91 to 93, the supreme number of True Will (Thelema) and Love (Ágape).

8 Places You Should Stay Silent
1. When you’re angry - The Prophet ﷺ advised to stay silent.
2. When you don’t have knowledge - “Do not pursue that of which you have no knowledge.” (17:36)
3. When someone is sharing a hardship - listen more, speak less.

4. When your words may turn into gossip - silence protects honor.
5. When you feel like showing off good deeds - hidden deeds are more sincere.
6. When a discussion turns into an argument - not every argument is worth continuing.

In 2026, agents live in the command line.
So we taught the `hf` CLI to speak their language.
Here's what it takes to be a good CLI when half your users aren't human 🧵

A good CLI in 2026 treats the agent as a first-class user.

Principle 1: One command, two renderings.
Same command. The CLI detects an agent and adapts:
• Humans => colors, aligned tables, truncation, hints
• Agents => tab-separated, full values, no truncation
No flags to remember. (this is the thumbnail 👆)

Free newsletter: The ROI debate has come at worst time for Anthropic and OpenAI - two companies that can’t afford to slow down thanks to their $1.1 trillion in compute commitments and a data center buildout that needs a trillion in annual revenue by 2030.

My appearance on Bloomberg last week ruffled some feathers because I don't have "skin in the game" (IE: money in the market). This is because AI boosters can't imagine somebody with a moral position on an industry run by grifters and sold with lies.

The AI industry is anxious because it knows it made too many egregious promises. There are 190GW+ in planned AI data centers, and to justify their existence, they'll need $2 trillion+ in AI compute revenue by 2030.
There's currently less than $100bn.

The hearing was predictable and largely unremarkable but for a very curious, and potentially very important, omission. 🧵

At no point did the Senate Democrats or their expert witness, @shannonminter5 of the National Center for LGBTQ (formerly Lesbian) Rights (@NCLRights), refer to or cite the authority of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, or WPATH (@wpath).
In 2023, Minter, an attorney, testified before the House Judiciary Committee on the same topic.
Minter's submitted written testimony from that hearing cited WPATH and its Standards of Care, v. 8.
