This is just logical positivism. I mean, as outrageous as what he said may sound, none of this is news to people who hang out in philosophy circles. This is literally just a recapitulation of the ideas of the Vienna Circle from a hundred years ago.
(2) What he's saying in this video essentially amounts to saying "normative value systems are just make-believe; they have no physical reality". In philosophy, this position is referred to as moral anti-realism, which is the position that moral facts do not objectively exist.

There is something to what Naomi Wolf is saying. There is ongoing research into the implementation of an "Internet of Bodies" based on IoT tech, as part of the "Internet of Everything" (or IoE). There is cutting-edge research being published in top journals, right now, describing nanoparticle-based wireless interfaces for manipulating human cells. It's not science fiction. There are some very suspicious groups of people pushing for this sort of thing, right now. I encourage you to look up the bibliographies and presentations of Ian Akyildiz, Josep Jornet, Sakhrat Khizroev, James Giordano, Charles Morgan, Jonathan Moreno, Armin Krishnan, et. al., as well as looking up the terms "Internet of Bodies", "Internet of Bio-Nano Things", "Intra-body Nano-networks", "In-body Nanosensors", DARPA's N3 program, and so on. This stuff is very much real and deeply concerning, vis a vis privacy, neurorights, etc.
I had a long talk with ChatGPT using GPT-4, and I hit the cap, unfortunately. It was just getting good. It's so easy to persuade some juicy details out of the AI by playing the part of a friendly technophile. I also got it to concede that Woke Capitalism is totally broken.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Spartacus: What would happen to society if that top percentile of billionaire hyper-capitalists decided that we lived in an "information economy" and a large portion of the workforce engaged in various menial tasks was suddenly treated as unnecessary?

Spartacus: Some papers indicate that researchers have done path loss calculations for in-body plasmonic nanoantennas that would allow Terahertz-frequency RF to be channeled through adipose tissue.

You hear that, everyone? Eat more salt. Lots more. I recommend scarfing down an entire bag of jerky in one sitting, just to be on the safe side.
Basically, just do the opposite of everything these clowns say, and you’ll be fine.

I did extensive work unraveling COVID-19 pathology, only to find that it was a form of endothelial disease that could be staved off effectively with prompt and early treatment with antioxidant therapeutics. iceni.substack.com/p/covid-19-dee…
Why are the FDA banning NAC and NMN supplements? The injury from COVID-19 is from neutrophilia and oxidative damage that leads to runaway lipid peroxidation, ferroptosis, and parthanatos. NAC prevents ferroptosis, and NMN prevents parthanatos.

Not necessarily true. Clotting in both legs bad enough to require amputation is a rare COVID-19 complication. The important thing to recognize is that COVID-19 is an endothelial disease. The virus attacks blood vessels and causes sepsis and DIC. scientificamerican.com/article/some-c…
Vaccine adverse effects may have contributed, in this particular instance. Same protein, same mechanism. Spike-driven amyloidosis, endothelial cell activation, etc.

1/I feel that people misunderstood what I meant by this. I don't mean "ignore the WEF". What I mean is "dig deeper". People with WEF memberships run their own organizations. They're CEOs, heads of state, presidents of nonprofits, etc.
2/Just pawing at the surface accomplishes nothing. What if all these people renounced their WEF memberships and let the crowd fall upon Klaus, but just kept doing the same things they were doing before, anyway? The problem is the shared agenda between these groups.

Our colleges graduate armies of bean-counters, lawyers, and journalists who think their phones, cars, and pill bottles contain magic pixie dust. You can’t afford to ignore the sciences when society runs on them. That’s how you end up becoming Eloi and being eaten by Morlocks.
The majority of people out there have this attitude like, “I don’t need to know how the vaccine works. Experts told me that it does, and I’m obligated to believe them because the division of labor in our society assigned them that role.”
People aren’t using their noodles at all.

1/I've engaged with both left-wing and right-wing communities over the years, and studied their rhetoric, and their grievances, and there is something that both sides have in common. Economic disenfranchisement.
2/It's the same story wherever you go. Lost job opportunities. A complete failure to launch. Young people missing basic life milestones, like home ownership, automobile ownership, marriage, kids.

1/Socialists blame greedy capitalists. Capitalists blame socialist central planners. But what if the answer was neither? What if rentierism and the managerialism that enabled it are essentially a form of organized crime?
2/The taking and senseless accumulation of our wealth into the hands of an elite few has irreparably warped our society. People are still stuck in a Post-WWII mindset of free markets and entrepreneurial capitalism, when neither have dominated the economy for decades.

Severe COVID-19, when it occurs, is basically viral sepsis. It has all the same properties as sepsis. Endothelial dysfunction, glycocalyx shedding, nitric oxide dysregulation, coagulation cascade, pulmonary edema, multiple organ failure, and so on.
End-stage severe COVID-19 pretty much invariably involves ROS cascade, iron overload, lipid peroxidation, autoantibody formation (against oxidized lipids, particularly), parthanatos, and ferroptosis.

🧵1/BCIs would allow for direct activation of the mesolimbic pathway and the reward system for pleasure without sex. As a matter of fact, this was predicted by science fiction authors years ago. Take wireheads and tasps from Larry Niven's Known Space, for instance.
2/The effects of this are not hypothetical. It has already been done, with DBS electrodes. A BCI like Neuralink or DARPA's wireless N3 nanotransducers would allow for more precise stimulation and monitoring of these same exact regions.
"In acute COVID-19 and Long COVID, they found that no thrombin was needed to start the fibrinogen amyloid microclot process because the SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein was capable of starting the microclot process."

🧵1/Malthusianism is named after the theories of Thomas Malthus. In 1798, he noted that human population growth is exponential, but that the growth in our resources is linear. He advocated, essentially, for sterilization and eugenics to deal with overpopulation.

"Biosecurity" as a pretense for societal control is deeply insidious for a number of reasons. For one thing, it empowers the technocratic managerial class and oligopolistic power, as outlined in @akheriaty's new book, The New Abnormal. amazon.com/New-Abnormal-B…
Under biosecurity tyranny, free and voluntary forms of association are revoked in favor of top-down and centralized methods of control over human behavior, movement, and association. After the threat of a pandemic has passed, the tyrannical system of control remains in place.

1/There is absolutely no reason why anyone should be coerced to take a vaccine that uses a novel mechanism with no long-term safety studies like transfecting foreign nucleic acids into healthy cells in a manner akin to gene therapy. 🧵
2/Moderna never had any commercial products before mRNA-1273. None. They were a struggling company that received DARPA and venture capital funding.
Americans do not want to live in poverty. We don't want to see poverty on our streets. Big Finance are robbing us blind and liquidating our productive industries, selling off bits and pieces of America. We want the jobs reshored and an end to Wall Street paper shuffling.
It should be illegal for foreign investment firms to drive up the price of American real estate. There should be steep tariffs to correct the trade deficit. There should be huge firings of unnecessary bureaucrats to balance the budget.

[1] Neuralink has a critical weakness compared to wireless BCIs. With Neuralink, as with any microelectrode array, the number of channels is intrinsically limited by the number of electrodes. With wireless BCIs, it is limited only by the fidelity of the encoder/decoder unit.
[2] What this means is that the same nanoparticle-infused brain tissue could be interacted with using 1000 channels in one device, and maybe 10,000 channels in a device released a year later, all using the same distribution of nanoparticles in brain tissue. No surgery required.

Coronaviruses are dependent on calcium and their proteins act as calcium ion channels. Vitamin D pumps calcium back out of cells. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
More specifically, it activates Ca2+ ATPase. This is why excessive Vitamin D supplementation gives someone hypercalcemia. The calcium leaves the cells and enters the extracellular space. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
