- Comment on If we cured all forms of cancer with the ease of taking a pill, what would be the next thing medicine would put the biggest focus on? 11 hours ago:
Some years ago, Dr. David Williams ( whose website is now gone ), had a paper-newsletter.
A friend of his had cancer, & was in an experimental-drug-trial.
He was the ONLY survivor of that trial.
In the closeout interview, he told them he’d also been taking fenbendazole.
Oh, well they already knew about that, so his surviving wasn’t surprising, then.
Dr. David Williams was LIVID.
Oncologists KNEW a way to defeat cancer, & they SAT ON IT??
The only site with information on it, nowadays, seems to be:
I’m a brain-decimation survivor, & have been gaslit by doctors all my life ( dad was a medical-researcher & doctor: he taught me to think, but medical-culture’s narcissistic, & I went no-contact with both parents, for years-at-a-time, to protect my life from their prejudice against their inferior’s having any validity )
IF I had cancer, I’d be taking that, if I could.
The industry won’t EVER tolerate diminishing of its establishment, profits, or authority.
The question is falsely-based, thereby.
Sorry to be cynical about it.
Go read the book “Doctored”, or the book “Money-Driven Medicine”, or 1 of many many other books on the conflict-of-interest between medical-industry & what it supposedly is for.
Conflict-of-interest is THE root of corruption.
Until the reward & the goal are congruent, corruption’s inescapable.

- Comment on Is LM Studio's GUI safe despite being closed source? 6 days ago:
Are you old enough to remember all the machiavellianisms committed by Microslop corp?
As a relatively-recent example, their Windows Vista would secretly inform MS of all the search-queries done within windows.
And … for some incomprehensible reason, that wasn’t prosecuted as a criminal offense.
So, MS was being informed of things like …
-
hospital searching for “William Smith, bone cancer” & the search found the right file, & THAT kind of information was being forwarded back?
-
police searching for “Bob and Alice, classical physics violators”, & THAT kind of information would be forwarded back to MS?
You don’t engineer-in machiavellianism like MS has done, for … it’s 40-years now? something like that … without making SOME people understand just how religious some corporations are, about being DarkTriad ( narcissism/machiavellianism/sociopathy-psychopathy ), in nature.
& they aren’t the only ones.
Nowadays, any corporation which violates DarkTriad … is considered … perhaps “mentally ill”, by market standards?
I’m only using MS as an example.
Remember when OpenOffice.org became the property of Oracle?
LibreOffice.org was born in a week or 2?
Cynicism absolutely is warranted, nowadays.
I’m old-enough that MS’s stealing of Stac Electronics’ disk-compression algorithm, but they fucked-it-up, in their DOS 6.20 bit me.
Assuming altruism on the part of some company … that is mental-illness, nowadays.
I’m not agreeing with the assumption-river of the person you’re replying to, but I am saying that their reaction has basis/validity, nowadays.
I found out, after using LM Studio, that LLM’s can access everything on one’s own system.
I don’t know to what degree that’s true with LM Studio, but 1 time I gave an internet-address, & the LLM told me what it had found on the site I just told it of.
I hadn’t known it had unrestricted internet-access.
Later, I learned it could probably read every file on my system, too, & some AI-attacks get the LLM to get info from people’s personal files, single-out the credit-card, address, contacts, etc, information, & have the LLM forward that to a server out there…
That isn’t a security-concern that normals would even consider.
NOW I know that if I ever fire-up my desktop again, I’ll have to rip-out the LLM’s from my normal user-account, & create a completely-separate locked-down account, with NOTHING ELSE in it, only for them.
& keep EVERYTHING personal in a different account, that they can’t even see.
That isn’t an LM Studio specific thing, that is apparently required for ALL the things.
& nobody’s warning anybody about this?
I think it was on The Register that I found that out, last year…

- Comment on Europe takes first step to banning AI-generated child sexual abuse images 6 days ago:
Saw that & thought “Good”.
then realized there was an implication…
Shouldnt child sexual-abuse material be illegal no matter what the source that was generating it was??
IE all the underage hentai, whether human or AI generated, all the photo, all the video, shouldn’t it already be illegal, without having to do each source separately?
if they’re having to make each kind illegal as it gets invented, then they’re anchoring on the wrong thing.
It’s the child sexual-abuse nature that ought make it illegal, not what its source was.
( & yes, that too has implication, for some: is it illegal to describe/document one’s own abuse, when one is/was a child?
That, too, is solving the wrong problem.
Correct law takes real work to engineer properly.
The game Nomic was devised to gain people real experience with consequences-of-legal-regime-choices…
Unless people experience how something works, how’re they supposed to understand the consequences of treating it carelessly?
That is as true in physical-technology as it is true in law. )

- Comment on What should we actually turn our aggression towards? 6 days ago:
Oligarchism is just 1 face of concentration-of-wealth-archy: monarchism, communist-party-archism are other variants of it.
The REAL enemy is our unconscious-nature, our unconscious ego-addiction-to-ignorance-preventing-accountability-or-responsibility-while-assuming-inherent-authority-and-inherent-validity.
ALL prejudices are rooted in that, not just class-prejudices.
Until human-nature is force-changed, as it is going to be by the end of this century ( The Great Filter ), we’re going to keep enforcing DarkTriad’s rule for OUR supremacy, no matter what kind of “us” it is that we are identifying-as, gender, race, class, age, culture, ANYthing!
Nothing can change that.
It’s simply our world-species equivalent-to-puberty.
EITHER some subset of humankind force-grows-up COMPLETELY, this-century, XOR… whole-species DarwinAward.
Ever seen an addict fighting for their own life against their own unconscious-mind’s addiction-to-obliteration-and-nonresponsibility?
We’re looking at planet-wide equivalent, now.

- Comment on If Tyler Perry is a billionaire with his own successful movie studio then why are his films so bad? 6 days ago:
Please invest in reading www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-anatomy-of-genres … & then see movies through new eyes, “eyes to see”.
You’ll be astonished at how high a percentage of movies are bad, once one understands what he’s giving, in that, about the 14 genres that the West has anchored on, & why each genre concentrates only on 1 specific dimension of human-meaning.
( & that was the genius of Star Wars: it included multiple-genres of stuff into its Space Western genre, which it created, from scratch )
Truby’s other book, “The Anatomy of Story” is also required for anybody wanting to make story work properly.
People who won’t learn from the best-of-the-best, never reach their true-potential, because they’re hobbling their leverage.
Ego consistently hobbles leverage, in order to assert that it didn’t “need” any other.
That’s like ignoring math, while designing aircraft: incompetent.
Stand on the heads of giants, & reach farther into the “sky” of our potential.
Those 2 books ought be required-reading in highschool.

- Comment on What’s the endgame? 6 days ago:
There are multiple levels going-on:
Surface-level is mere “makeup”/distractions.
Underneath that is the ideologies level.
Under that is the fight between animal-reactions vs upright-correct-reasoning, which is what is required of our-species, to survive The Great Filter, which is the next 6-decades of wars.
Within the ideologies-level, ideologies are fighting to break whatever it is that they hate.
As was explained in some book published years ago, the Kremlin began investing in Trump in the 1980’s or so.
That’s paying-off, now.
Apparently there’s some gameshow movie, which shows that upper-middle-class people, even when competing against each-other, will join together to break their class-inferiors, beneath them.
That is true of all identity-politics.
The Academic-class-system does it ( just ask Sabine Hossenfelder, who was fired as a physicist, for not being a man ), gender-identity/politics does it, race-politics/identity does it, etc.
So, the communist-party-imperialisms of the world work at exterminating any “other” who competes against them ( see Tibet, the Uyghurs, Hong Kong, the cultural-expression of Brutalism throughout the USSR, etc, for stark evidence of communism’s imperialism ), AND the fascists, with their cult-of-personality centrism, & their imperialisms also do this.
“Horseshoe theory of politics”, that extreme-left & extreme-right are actually near-indistinguishable-in-behavior-towards-others, is oversimplification:
it’s partly authoritarianism, which both are devout to, and imperialism, which both are devout to, AND it is rejection/extermination-of-diversity.
That new law in China that ALL must learn Mandarin, is simply part of the communist snuffing-of-diversity, which the USSR did quite well, too.
Once the far-right understands completely how breaking all non-fascist-will from all authority is their tactical-NEED, then there will be no pretence of Russia being Trump’s enemy, anymore.
He’ll invoke the Insurrection Act, PURGE all who would threaten his kingdom ( that is “Dictatorship 101”, & I’m quoting a textbook-on-dictatorship, with that point ), & then … enforce his all-Americas “manifest destiny”.
- annexing Canada, using Greenland to sever our EU-lifeline
- Civil War Part2: confederate reverse-takeover & vengeance
- imperial-expansion throughout Central & South America
Why should he care about the other regions of the globe, when he can enforce his absolute “god”-hood, here?
He wasn’t kidding about “Cuba is next”.
Nor was he kidding about Venezuela.
Or Mexico.
Or Greenland.
Or Canada.
Part of the problem is false-framing:
There is NO true-democracy in the West: representative-republic ISN’T democracy, it is 1-times ( minimum ) removed from democracy.
In actual-democracy, the CITIZENS vote on the ISSUES.
In representative-republic, “representatives” are elected, & then they decide on the citizenry’s behalf, what the citizenry’s being ruled-by.
Totally different paradigm.
Nowadays we’ve got the technology to make actual-democracy possible, but nobody’s got the spine to do it.
Worse, exactly as pilot’s-licensing dictates who can vote on managing an airliner ( the passengers, who outnumber the pilots, have NO say in managing the aircraft, due to not being competent, not being responsible, & not being accountable for that work ), the same principle is required in civil-voting.
People whose loyalty isn’t to the country, but instead is to some-other country, or to oligarchy, or to some ideology, cannot be permitted to vote, XOR the country’s inescapably-highjacked: it’s only a matter of time.
The US is demonstrating this, shamelessly.
But that would mean being able to measure loyalty in people.
Now that can be done, with psychology & tech.
The deepest level, though, is animal-reacting fighting-off upright-correct-reasoning.
The whole unconscious-mind ego-apocalypse-fighting-off-moral-anxiety thing, that is manifesting through all the different ideologies/religions, is this.
Unconscious-ignorance is working itself into THE TANTRUM/POGROM TO BREAK GOD AND MAKE GOD OBEY!! its totalitarian-domion.
THAT will exterminate nearly-all humankind in the next 6-decades.
The piddling little violence we’re seeing today ( 2026-03-13 ), is NOTHING compared with what we’re going to be seeing by the end of April, from the looks of it, as THE WHOLE WORLD swings into the Regional Consolidation Wars { Americas ; Europe, with China backing Putin to mow-down the European threat to future Chinese planet-dominion ; Asia, once the West abandons it, is China’s ; Africa will be owned by Saudi Arabia, too, in 7 years }
Unconscious-mind is the RULER of our world.
It’s ego-games obliterate more lives than ANY other force in the world.
We “can’t afford” to make industry accountable? The egos in authority won’t allow it.
We “can’t afford” to regulate anything correctly? ditto.
( hint: to win a NASCAR race, you need the most-tightly-regulated/maximally-efficient/maximally-effective engine+drivetrain you can get. Sloppy LOSES races. Same with economies. Sloppy economies lose. Efficiently regulated economies can FAR outclass sloppy ones, whether communist, fascist, party-oligarchic or individual-oligarchic, monarchic, or any other ego-concentrates-wealth-to-itself paradigm.
EU’s inefficiency is boggling.
US’s corruption is boggling.
Neither can compete with harnessed & maximally-efficient economy.
Paywalling standards, as the ISO does, is anti-efficiency.
Balkanizing tax-filing for for-profit-parasite’s benefit, harms the efficiency of the economy.
You “can’t be loyal to 2 contradictory gods”, right?
We have to make whole economy effectiveness be what our gov’t is for, NOT for wealth-concentration, which is their primary loyalty, & status/validity-segregation, which is what social-class-systems are made-of )
Anyways, if you want to understand that deepest level, then www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/thinking-fast-and-slow is THE book to read.
Lower-forebrain/“System-1”/imprinted-reaction is fighting to overthrow correct-reasoning/“System-2”/upper-forebrain from all authority, so then it can tantrum/pogrom & be no-moral-anxiety-LORD, with no responsibility for what it’s done.
THAT is what’s ACTUALLY going on, globally.
All the rest is more superficial, mere “makeup”.
NO ideology will adapt to evidence, because they’re all axiom-based, not evidence-based.
THAT is the lethal “drug” that humankind’s about to be self-exterminating with, for 6-decades.
I expect 0.1B left alive, IF humankind succeeds in growing-up.
IF humankind won’t, then DarwinAward for our entire species, this century.
Surviving unconscious-mind’s obiteration-addiction IS HARD, as any dead-by-overdose life can attest.
& ego-“LORDHOOD” is the most-indellible “drug”.
The stuff that’s happening in any individual-locale, is just the appearances/distractions ON the underlying species-“puberty” we’re hitting.
That isn’t the REAL current/transformation/difficulty…

- Comment on Do rich people get addicted to drugs? 1 week ago:
From what I’ve seen & read, yes.
Doctors are often addicted to drugs, or just to medicating themselves.
I read an article by a woman who worked for a house-cleaning service, which ordered her to stop working too fast/competently.
So, she slowed-down, to keep her job.
& looked in cupboards, medicine-cabinets, etc.
She said that now she doesn’t want to be rich, because they’re consistently addicted to drugs/medications.
Hollow living … people trying to “fill” themselves with chemically-enforced numbness…
I don’t know if you ever encountered r/leaves the subreddit about people who’ve ditched marijuana-addiction…
“I got tired of not feeling anything meaningful” would be a good summary of many testimonies, there…
from what I can see, the story you’re working-on is viable, except the loved-one’s going to need a private-investigator or something, to level the playing-field against the streetsmart dealer.
no, they couldn’t have got the money some other way: born-into-wealth means being brought-up in entitlement: it makes one’s instincts incompetent-for-raw-survival, AND narcissistic.
( Dad was a medical-researcher & doctor: I know what I’m talking about in this context. )
Please read BOTH of John Truby’s books, “The Anatomy of Genre” 1st, then his one on Story 2nd.
Your book will be massively better if you do.

- Comment on Silicon Valley is buzzing about this new idea: AI compute as compensation 1 week ago:
“Random bullshit Go!” meme…
They’ve finally proven that ALL they care-about is preventing integrity from having any root in any economy they’re infesting, & that ANYTHING that displaces correct-view is worth pushing, to prevent correct-view.
That changes the framing, in my eyes:
That means that it isn’t what they’re pushing that is The Problem: they’re simply too machiavellian to bother negotiating with.
THEY are the problem.
I’d want private-investigators on them, & I’d want a good war-chest for prosecuting them, once their corruption’s evidence was unearthed, enough.
People THAT anti-integrity consistently create evidence of their corruption.
The state won’t prosecute them ( big herds ONLY respect big herds, & corporations are herds, which is why when accountability threatens, they simply “dissipate”, and … “nobody is responsible!” … same as herds ), so activist-groups are going to have to do it.
Totally different framing.

- Comment on I would rather live in a "class system" than a "caste system" 1 week ago:
Sorry I didn’t realize you’d replied, so what I amended my previous-comment with, helps clarify… maybe see that…
the dimensions thing…
Experience is valid.
People who’ve never experienced working-class work, how can they viscerally understand how REAL it is?
How can a beaurocrat?
How can any upperclass one?
Same with knowledge-work.
1 time I had to talk someone through fixing a linux-installation, via the phone ( before cellphones ).
I was lucky to get it fixed before they bonked/hit-the-wall, & COULDN’T do any more strict-concentration.
One has to experience a KIND-of-work, enough … before one’s unconscious-mind can “respect” it, see?
It’s only after doing the more-physical stuff for years that I truly-understood/unconsciously-respected how REAL working-class work is, & that’s shameful.
Why did my unconscious take years ( part-time ) to get to that change?
I’m autistic: woodenheaded.
& dad’s culture was medical-researcher/doctor.
He taught me to think scientifically, when I was small.
I wrongly presumed I was of his culture, & ended-up homeless.
Did me good.
But the dimensions-of-class, though, social-programming/reactions/instinct/imprinting with that class’s “validity”-identity, is 1 dimension.
But the visceral-experience-induced-understanding that DOING it until one’s unconscious-mind understands & respects just how REAL that-KIND of work is, that is a completely-animal level of understanding.
Same as someone who’s operated an engine/machine-lathe: you get a bunch of beaurocrats in a machineshop, & they don’t understand.
You get someone who’s carved metal on one in there, & they move differently, because they bodily understand that kind of thing, see?
That dimension isn’t class-identity, that is one’s realm/doing/territory/capability: it is functional identity, not class-“status” identity.
It’s one’s capability’s identity, not one’s class-segregation identity.
lol … Go to an aviation gathering, & you’ll see aviation-class-system at work!
Go to a chess-event & you’ll see their class-system controlling their relative “validity”.
It takes some kind of breaking-the-unconscious-mind’s-status-programming to be able to treat other-categories-of-capability as equally-valid, & the only method I know-of which works, is what people call “cross-training”, but not in terms of muscle-groups, rather in terms of career-categories.
& as for people downvoting me all the time: that’s their right, & I’ve zero problem with people downvoting everything I write: their free-speech.
Couldn’t care less.
: )
I only put meaning in the world for the people who value it.
Everybody else can diss it all they want.
I’m underclass, & have-been for years.
Some of us change, through experiencing, into people who stand on our own intrinsic, not class, validity.
Self-conquering, to some degree.
I’m working on a level of self-conquering that White-medicine prohibits, but I’m Vajrayana, & wanting to axe-through my soul’s/continuum’s being-caught-in-this-CATEGORY-OF-incarnation/life.
Totally different frame-of-reference: White medicine holds that Abrahamic-religion framing’s valid, & Atheist-religion/assumption-river framing’s valid, but that my “universe recycles EVERYthing contained in it: EVEN MEANINGS & souls” paradigm is deemed by them to be delusion that needs obliterating.
No problem: they sow what karma they’re going to reap, & I do likewise, but at a totally-different angle.
It’s all good, eh?

- Comment on I would rather live in a "class system" than a "caste system" 1 week ago:
There are at-least 2 dimensions of class:
1 is actual working, ie trades vs beaurocracy,
& the other is identity-nation based validity within one’s class.
The actual working classes are real: there’s no point in pretending that somebody who knows all sorts of beaurocratic rules as their career is competent on a construction-site the way a working tradesperson can be, & vice versa.
The problem isn’t that.
The problem is the exclusivity-presumption, the “us vs them” presumption, the identity/nation prejudice, instead-of-collaborating toward our common good, through our different capabilities.
The identity-nation based validity is the crystallization of the problem/prejudice.
I’m saying that as an underclass person: worthless human garbage, a person who’s racked-up 7+y as an outright homeless person, & don’t ever bother pretending that the middle-class & upper-middle-class could EVER consider an inferior to be “valid” in THEIR class’s validity: I’ve experienced that prejudice enough to know the condescension & contempt are indestructible.
( I was born into upper-middle-class, & life taught me just how prejudiced that class is. Karmically correcting. )
Paul Fussell’s books on the North American class-system gave me some leverage/understanding years ago, & have been working on bettering that, ever since.

- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
I think there is a fundamental-misunderstanding in that…
You can fake resolution, but you can’t create it, once you’ve thrown it away, with lossy-compression.
The brilliantest example ever, was given like this ( had to do with “universal file compression” scammery, last-century )
Say you’ve got 4 files, that are 2-bits long:
- 11
- 10
- 01
- 00
& you compress them all down to 1-bit, so now you’ve got 2 compressed files:
- 1
- 0
… how could you de-compress them back out to 4 separate files?
The information’s GONE.
You’ve only got 2 left, right?
The same is true for compressing media-files.
I wish all the quote-images were done in SVG, all the audio was in OPUS, & all photos were in JXL, simply because that seems to be the optimal solution.
I wish the best video-format ( that isn’t patent-encumbered ), AV1 or something, were normal, too.
It isn’t that there is some specific video-resolution which is required, for the archived quality, rather, it is that there is some specific information retention that is required, & some of that information may have to do with resolution, other may have to do with color, other may have to do with motion, etc…
so it isn’t specific-resolution, rather, it is specific-percentage-of-information-discarding that is what’s being done…

- Comment on What differentiates Lemmy, Kbin, Mbin, and PieFed? 1 week ago:
Try getting managed-hosting for them, & you’ll see that only some can be hired.
Managed-hosting means that the hirer isn’t having to do all the sysadmin stuff for their instance, like security-updates, they’re able to concentrate on the community, instead.
Horribly-pricey, for the amount of service one can get, from what I’ve seen, but … drastically cheaper than having one’s community obliterated by a missed security-update, & then becoming irrelevant.

You may be allergic to the stuff, XOR you may be in kapha-metabolism, which is incompatible with it.
A little salt on a slice of avocado, can send a vata-metabolism person into heaven.
The book on the fundamental-metabolisms, & there mixed-together versions, is:

IF that book ( & Frawley & Kozak’s “Yoga For YOUR TYPE” ) identifies you as pure-kapha, you’re supposed to not-like-it, because it’s harmful for pure-kapha metabolism’s health.

PS: for all the Scientism-fundamentalists, DO THE EXPERIMENT of discovering YOUR metabolism/dosha, & then preparing pairs of dishes, such that each pair has 1 dish with only-aggravating-of-your-metabolism & 1 dish with only-pacifying-of-your-metabolism, & LET THE EVIDENCE ITSELF SPEAK.
For people of pure-metabolisms/doshas, that should be sufficient evidence.
For people of mixed-metabolisms, it may not be possible to get a clear difference, & for all-3-mixed-together, there isn’t any possible way to convince them of any such thing.
This is 1 of many peer-reviewed actual-evidence-based-science articles that backs Ayurveda: www.nature.com/articles/nindia.2015.148

- Comment on UN report says Israeli practices against Palestinians may amount to genocide 2 weeks ago:
& here’s a less-gaslighting statement which holds to truth:

You CANNOT help the DarkTriad agents displace actual-truth from the world, without yourself being an agent of evil.
Grow the fuck up, UN.

Foolishness:
You don’t have the false-dichotomy of ( Support_the_Government || Helpless_Apathy ),
you HAVE also the ability to compete-against the people who are ruining things!!
Yes, political-process prefers/selects-for DarkTriad types, but it’s still possible to compete against the bullshit.
( & old grouches like Jeff Tiederich ( sorry if misspelt ) & me can clarify things, for many, in this age of pseudojournalism : )

- Comment on Why is the USA attacking Iran? 2 weeks ago:
“Why is the USA attacking Iran?”
Trump’s insecurity:
By associating with “biblical” Netanyahu’s “Israel”, he gains “validity”.
By bombing someone, he gains “authority”.
By pretending that his-regime’s actions benefit the protestors in Iran, he gains “humanitarian credibility”, while warring against the people living in the US’s own Democrat states.
By doing all this NOW, he deflects from his being an Epstein-associate who’s on evidence for crimes against women, & girls.
See the PATTERN, not just some single-aspect of it, & then it makes more sense.
