Demurigos: Benevolent, Malevolent or Ignorant?

The word demiurge is an derived from demiurgus, a Latinised form of the Greek δημιουργός or dēmiurgós. It was originally a common noun meaning "craftsman" or "artisan", but gradually came to mean "producer" and eventually "creator".
The philosophical usage and the proper noun derive from Plato's Timaeus, where the main character refers to the Demiurge as the entity who "fashioned & shaped" the material world. Timaeus describes the Demiurge as unreservedly benevolent & desires his Creation to be the same.
As we will see, PERCEPTION is Reality.

Like early Platonic Thought, Gnosticism presents a stark distinction between the highest, unknowable God or Supreme Being, the Monad and the Demiurgic "Creator" of the material. But, Gnosticism teaches that the material universe is evil.

ריבונו של עולם, מה עוד צריך לקרות כדי שהציבור יקום וידרוש לסלק את נתניהו מהשלטון? מה עוד צריך לקרות כדי שהציבור לא יהיה מוכן להשלים עם עוד דקה אחת שלו על ההגה? איך אפשר לראות את האסון הנורא בתולדות ישראל, לדעת מי חתום עליו – ולחשוב שהזמן למצוא אשמים יגיע בהמשך, אחרי המלחמה? >>
לא יהיה ״אחרי המלחמה״. אתם יכולים לסמוך על נתניהו שהמלחמה הזו תארך כמה שרק צריך כדי שהזמן לתת את הדין לא יגיע לעולם. הוא יעשה כל שביכולתו כדי ליצור מרחק גדול מספיק בין עוצמת הזעם שיש כלפיו כרגע לבין הרגע העתידי שבו יידרש לתת את הדין. >>
הוא יעשה כל שביכולתו כדי למרוח את הזמן, כדי לשחוק את הציבור, כדי להרעיל כל מערכת שעוד מתפקדת וכדי לפלג את המחנה שמולו - עד שברגע האמת יוכל להציג עצמו כמושיע – ולא כמחולל האסון. >>

Neat!

Here's the prevalence of blue eyes in various ancient DNA samples.

Apparently, at the founding of Rome, about 22% had blue eyes, but during the Empire, this dropped to about 4%. Image
Regarding the Romans:

Cremation as confounder!

The world's most consequential Molochian dynamic is the race between AGI companies.

But several of the leading companies were significantly influenced by @slatestarcodex (e.g. as below).

So perhaps we should think of Scott as having *summoned* Moloch.
By contrast, the US and China are *not* in Molochian competition. They could burn their values in many ways to be more competitive, and they mostly don't.

Indeed, the US in particular could become much more competitive without sacrificing *anything*. That's not very Molochian.
The idea of Scott summoning Moloch doesn’t absolve AGI company CEOs of moral responsibility. They’re still being very power-seeking.

But it reframes the act of coining Moloch (especially in such compelling and powerful prose) as a more abstract kind of destructive power-seeking.

🚨BREAKING: Claude Code just got an Obsidian plugin and it's insane.

It's called KatmerCode.

7 academic research skills. Inline diff editing. MCP support. Full Claude Code session running in your sidebar.

100% Opensource.

Here's everything it can do: Image
Most Obsidian users copy-paste between their notes and an AI chat window.

That's broken. You lose context. You lose your edit history. You lose the thread.

KatmerCode runs a real Claude Code subprocess inside Obsidian via the Agent SDK.

Your vault is the working directory. Claude edits your files directly.
The 7 academic slash commands are the main attraction:

→ /peer-review: Evaluates your manuscript across 8 criteria with a radar chart and section feedback
→ /cite-verify: Checks every reference against CrossRef, Semantic Scholar, and OpenAlex
→ /lit-search: Hits arXiv, PubMed, Semantic Scholar, and OpenAlex in parallel
→ /citation-network: Builds an interactive vis.js citation graph with timeline view
→ /research-gap: Identifies temporal, methodological, and thematic gaps with feasibility scores
→ /journal-match: Suggests target journals based on your reference profile
→ /abstract: Generates 5 abstract formats including structured, narrative, and social media

🚨 BREAKING: OpenClaw just became the most dangerous AI agent for web research.

Scrapling gives it undetectable access to any website on the internet.

It scrapes websites that actively try to block you. And it adapts when websites change their layout.

No more broken scrapers. No more Cloudflare walls. No more rewriting selectors every week.

Here's how it works:

→ You scrape a website once
→ The website redesigns its entire page
→ You pass adaptive=True
→ Scrapling finds your elements again automatically

It literally learns the structure of web pages and relocates your data when things move.

Here's why this kills everything else:

→ Bypasses Cloudflare Turnstile out of the box
→ Impersonates real browser TLS fingerprints
→ Full browser automation with stealth mode
→ Built-in proxy rotation
→ Concurrent crawling with pause and resume
→ MCP server so AI agents like Claude can scrape for you
→ Interactive shell. Scrape from your terminal without writing code.

Benchmarks? It's 784x faster than BeautifulSoup. Not a typo.

It even has a full Scrapy-like spider framework with multi-session support. Use fast HTTP for normal pages, stealth browser for protected ones. Same spider. Same crawl.

pip install scrapling

STOP DECLINING SPAM CALLS.

That “decline” can signal your number is active.
So the calls multiply.

Here’s what to do instead (and how to reduce them today).
Spam callers don’t need you to “answer.”

They just need proof your number is real.
When you decline, you often:

- send a clear “this line is active” signal
- trigger more attempts (and more lists)
- get categorized as “high-value” because you engage

Keyword targeting is dead.

Search intent targeting is everything.

Google doesn't care if you rank for a keyword if users bounce in 3 seconds.

Here's how the search intent revolution changes SEO completely:🧵👇
The old SEO playbook:

1. Find high-volume keyword
2. Stuff it into content
3. Build some links
4. Hope for rankings

Success rate: 12%

Google evolved. Most SEOs didn't.
1/ Understanding the 4 search intent types

Informational: "how does SEO work"
→ User wants to learn

Navigational: "ahrefs login"
→ User wants specific site

Commercial: "best SEO tools"
→ User researching purchase

Transactional: "buy ahrefs subscription"
→ User ready to buy

Each needs different content.

Trump’s spiritual advisor compares Trump to Jesus (pbuh) and they discuss the holy war against Iran for a minute and half..

America is the country led by religious extremist lunatics that spends all of its money on war.

Every accusation is a confession.
Always the “Christian” and secular terrorists/terrorism supporters that scream the loudest about (false flag) terrorism while ignoring the source of 99% of terrorism on this earth (🇮🇱🇺🇸).

🚨🚨🚨 Maintenant que le procès de la FMND est passé et que les documents sont publics, voici de larges extraits de la visite apostolique qui a eu lieu entre février 2019 et janvier 2020 dans 15 foyers de la communauté.
Avec un plot twist au milieu digne de Netflix.
🧶👇 Image
Le document se divise en deux moments distincts.
Le premier comporte les cinq premières parties.
C'est un document assez classique, qui ne relève presque rien de préoccupant.
Tout au plus se dit-on, à la lecture, que l'on a quelques ajustements à opérer. Image
Ainsi, l'accueil des visiteurs apostoliques est toujours amical. Image

We're in Week 5 of Trump's 2-week non-war. If we give the non-war war 2-3 more weeks it'll wrap up "weeks" ahead of schedule. Trump destroyed 100% of the 1/3rd of Iran's Navy that's non-IRGC and 0.5% of Iran's Army—i.e. all of it. Its nuke program exists *and* doesn't. Questions?
Tonight Trump explained that Iran was an imminent threat to destroy Israel because it never came close to doing so in 47 years. He explained that this non-war war is technically his third non-war war with Iran, as he won the first one in early 2020 by not fighting it. Questions?
Iran is both 10 years away from developing a missile that can hit America and also would have done so 10 years in the *past* if Trump didn't kill a guy. We know Iran has had its regime decapitated because it has the same president today it had before the war started. Questions?

West Bengal SIR case mentioned

Sr Adv Kapil Sibal: I got a report from the Telegraph now

CJI Surya Kant; I don't want to politicise it. But we got reports since 2 am. 5 pm they gheraoed the officers and till 11 pm there was no one

Sibal: it is unfortunate.

Sr Adv Menaka Guruswamy: Most of the officers have been transferred out of the state

#SupremeCourt @MamataOfficialImage
Sr Adv DS Naidu: Earlier judicial officers were being threatened. Now it is becoming physical. If its mobocracy no one can help

Justice Bagchi: Top most civil servant was contacted by the Chief justice of high court. It makes no good case by saying we are not associated. All leaders need to condemn this in one voice. We are here to protect the special officers. Their orders are deemed to be orders of our court
SG: now state cannot be entrusted with the security of judicial officers.

Justice Bagchi: we leave it to ECI to get forces from anywhere and ensure security of judicial officers.

Sr Adv Sankarnarayanan: These villagers are.sayonf they will continue to protest...we will all co-operate. CAPF or anything.
