🧵1. Another Modest Proposal

This time for the Pangolin’s Noble Sacrifice!

In this enlightened year of our Lord 2025 I, a humble observer of mankind’s ceaseless quest for health, find myself much struck by the ingenious practices of the Orient..
🧵2. A Scaly Panacea

...where the pangolin, that scaly denizen of subtropical climes, hath been elevated to a panacea most wondrous.

The Baicao Chinese Medicine compendium, a veritable gospel of herbal wisdom, doth proclaim the virtues of this creature’s scales...
🧵3. Humanity's Salvation?

...harvested with a diligence that would shame the most ardent of alchemists.

I propose, therefore, a modest scheme to amplify this noble tradition, ensuring that the pangolin’s sacrifice might serve the greater good of humanity.

🧵🗞️The International News

A Convulsive Horizon of No Escape

Clang! Bar, far, scar, star.

Take the swarming headlines, shred them,

South Korea’s soy sauce grand master stirs

Books that don’t exist, AI’s fevered brew.

War without purpose, war crimes bite,
🧵🗞️ Clang! Crimes, limes, slimes!

EU’s chocolate crisis, cocoa beans scream!

Climate breakdown bites the fields.

The moment that changed me

a boulangerie revelation melting into Vindolanda’s stone relief

But the man in the navy suit and tie,

chokes on known unknowns.
🧵🗞️ Clang! Rice, nice, vice, dice!

Japanese minister’s rice is free, free, glee, spree,

As Trump’s tariffs tangle with toilet roll wedding lists.

No escape. The hour will no longer be ours.

Clang! Dome, home, foam, roam!

Some insights into our DRASTIC investigation

1. What appears wasteful research to you in the present may be of great value to you or others in the future, if it is given the time to develop to its logical end.

Don’t judge the usefulness of your findings too quickly!
2. What appears wasteful or a dead end to you..

May be of immense value to somebody else!

Don’t judge the usefulness:

1. Of other people’s findings based only on your own assessment of them.

2. Of your own findings based only on your own current assessment of them either.
3. What appears wasteful and a dead end to you..

A. May be the raw stuff that new hypotheses and new research directions are born from.

B. Don’t judge the usefulness of your "investigations" until you have given them enough time to surprise you.

“We are not a Cult”

DRASTIC and the investigative network that broke the Corona laboratory taboo

Must Read Interview!

The hard working "Two Ronnies" of DRASTIC

@gdemaneuf & @BillyBostickson

Interviewed by @franzbecchi for @berlinerzeitung

berliner-zeitung.de/politik-gesell…
1. Who are the “pandemic detectives”?

We speak with 2 of DRASTIC's prominent members:

@gdemaneuf (a data scientist & engineer)

and @BillyBostickson, longtime activist who was formerly part of opposition networks in China & HK & who operates anonymously for security reasons.
@gdemaneuf 2. My Responses

How did DRASTIC come about?

I started in January 2020, triggered by an article by Dan Sirotkin on the origins of the virus.

I connected with people like @R_H_Ebright & others on Twitter.

In May 2020, I chose the name "DRASTIC" for this decentralized group.
