Kojeve is just so clever, he salvages the entirety of ridiculous metaphysics about "the soul" by saying: "Ah yes, the soul, that is Nothing, this is very important too, that it is Nothing. Only Humans have souls because only Humans give voice to the Nothingness that is Death."
Yes yes, God, the Soul... all of this is Nothing. But this does not mean "a trivial thing"-- but a very serious thing! Nothing is more important than Everything! Everything is just a bunch of stuff-- it's just "matter" & nature & objects-- but Nothing! There is Nothing like it!
For so long people are confused thinking the soul is "something"-- but it's actually nothing-- & that's what animals lack-- they lack an insight into Nothingness-- that's what distinguishes Man from Everything.
Our principles of operation are:
(1) Attack dispersed isolated enemy forces first; attack concentrated strong enemy forces later.
(2) Take small and medium cities and extensive rural areas first; take big cities later.

(2) Take small and medium cities and extensive rural areas first; take big cities later.
(3) Make wiping out the enemy's effective strength our main objective; do not make holding or seizing a city or place our main objective. Holding or seizing a city or place is the outcome of wiping out the enemy's effective strength, and
often a city or place can be held or seized for good only after it has changed hands a number of times.
(4) In every battle, concentrate an absolutely superior force (two, three, four and sometimes even five or six times the enemy's strength),

After this post went viral, I called Caroline Groves, a world-class bespoke shoemaker, to discuss how women's shoes are made. I normally don't talk about womenswear, but I found the information interesting, so I thought I would share what I learned here. 🧵
First, who is Caroline Groves?
Footwear is broadly broken into two categories: bespoke and ready-to-wear. In London, bespoke makers, including those for women, are largely focused on traditional styles, such as wingtip derbies and loafers. Emiko Matsuda is great for this.

In Paris, there's Massaro, a historic firm that has been operating since 1894, now owned by Chanel. Their designs are less about creating the women's equivalent of traditional men's footwear and more about things such as heels or creative styles. Aesthetic is still "traditional."
Very funny how recent (wealthy) immigrants to America’s kids have two options “gatekeep white/black culture” — they either end up LARPing like they’re Oblock Hoodrats or talking about True Aryan Hyperborea.
The Somali in Minnesota isn’t pretending to be from Aggartha or running a Kendrick stan account. Makes you think.
Ironically the attempt to “assimilate” is the most jarring option— the immigrants who just “are themselves” seem to fit in better by acknowledging the difference, it’s like “suburban pakistani whose parents are surgeons” who truly sticks out for not belonging anywhere.
1/ 🧵Pfizer’s new mRNA flu trial quietly revealed the problem they can’t quite admit....
It’s not the spike. It’s the platform. It's the LNPs.
What did the data show?

2/Pfizer’s mRNA flu vaccine = same tech as COVID shots, just a new mRNA coding for the FLU antigen.
So what happened?
Strong fevers, swollen nodes, fatigue, pain which was identical to the COVID pattern.
Same signature, but NO SPIKE PROTEIN.
Does that mean the toxic driver is the lipid nanoparticle (LNP) system itself?

3/ Even worse: in the >65 year-old trial dataset (quietly posted on , no press release)…
There’s an important renal (kidney) signal.
Serious kidney adverse events in healthy seniors who were screened to exclude any chronic issues including kidney impairment.
That’s a major pharmacologic red flag.clinicaltrials.gov

Kojeve came to the same conclusion that I’ve come to (I only learned this in the new Groys book) that after the collapse of Capitalism (WW1) America “rebuilt capitalism” in the form of bourgeois socialism, as in, they used “marxist” critiques of Marxism Leninism to produce our state.
Bourgeois Socialism is “the welfare state”— they are the same thing.

Mastic gum literally RELIEVES acid reflux
constant heartburn? burping after meals? acid in your throat?
that's GERD - and it's:
- burning through your esophageal lining
- ruining your sleep every single night
- getting worse every time you eat
in one study, 350mg of mastic gum 3x daily for 3 weeks improved symptoms in 77% of participants - without changing diet
that's INSANE
heartburn eases, stomach pain disappears, and you can finally eat without discomfort.
and that's not all... it also kills H. pylori bacteria AND heals your gut lining.
🧵 here's the exact protocol (and 3 mistakes to avoid):

here's what most people don't realize:
GERD isn't always "too much acid." it's often H. pylori infection weakening your stomach's protective barrier.
that bacteria can live in your stomach for YEARS - damaging the mucosa that should protect you from acid.
PPIs just reduce acid production. they don't address the bacterial infection that may be causing the damage.

mastic gum is a resin from the Pistacia lentiscus tree on the Greek island of Chios.
it's been used for 2,500+ years for stomach issues.
but here's what makes it different from antacids:
it doesn't just suppress acid. it KILLS the H. pylori bacteria at the source AND repairs the damage they've caused.

@Ojdadana @HolocaustMuseum @yadvashem 1) They likely teach little outside the Jewish perspective. E.g. about the Lebensborn program—launched in 1935 by Heinrich Himmler to boost the "Aryan" birthrate through secret maternity homes for SS-linked pregnancies and later expanded to kidnap and "Germanize" foreign children
@Ojdadana @HolocaustMuseum @yadvashem 2) deemed racially valuable—had a grim, indirect footprint in Łódź (Litzmannstadt under occupation). Unlike the Jewish-focused Łódź Ghetto, which served as a labor-extermination hub (sealed April 1940, liquidated 1944, claiming ~200,000 lives), Lebensborn's Łódź ties centered on
@Ojdadana @HolocaustMuseum @yadvashem 3) the Polen-Jugendverwahrlager (Camp for Polish Youth), a notorious facility for non-Jewish Polish children. This was part of the broader "Germanization" machine in the annexed Wartheland region, where Poles were sorted like cattle: "racially pure" kids funneled to Lebensborn
My top 11 myeloma/amyloidosis abstracts I’m excited about, spanning bispecifics, CAR T, MRD and amyloid clearance. Stay tuned for a much longer discussion at the end re: MajesTEC-3...
1) Abstract 94 (@End_myeloma): CARTITUDE-4 Long-term PFS with cilta-cel in standard-risk patients showed a 30-month PFS rate of 71% (ITT) and 80.5% (as-treated).
🤔It would be good to know the breakdown by lines of therapy.
🚨We need to continue having conversations with patients about cilta-cel as early as second line as we find ways to reduce delayed toxicities.

2) Abstract 99 (Dytfeld): Disclosure I am an author.
The phase 3 COBRA trial compared weekly KRd x 24 cycles vs. VRdx8/Rdx16. Longer course of KRd makes complicates direct comparison but...VRd is hard to administer for long periods of time due to neuropathy (whereas K can be easier).
👍Higher rates of MRD<10^-5 with KRd; PFS also longer with KRd. No difference in OS at this time.
🤔With dara potentially being used in smoldering and/or with MajesTEC-3 showing tec/dara in relapse works well, could the KRd backbone be useful into the future?

3) Abstract 248 (@dikokaz): Could consolidation with a bispecific antibody supplant transplant? IMMUNOPLANT is a ph2 study enrolling patients with MRD positivity after 4+ cycles of induction.
💉Patients received 4-6 cycles of linvoseltamab before maintenance
👍MRD conversion to negativity was the primary endpoint. 14/14 (100%) converted to MRD<10^-6. None of the 19 pts thus far had CRS/ICANS.
🤔If a short course of Bsab can lead to lasting/durable MRD negativity, this will be a very exciting development that could be another nail in the coffin for transplant. ❓Could additional cycles of quad therapy further decrease the need for this regimen?
