- Comment on Heavy cannabis users have been found to have nearly four times the odds of developing schizophrenia or psychosis compared to non-users, according to a Kings College Meta-Analysis 5 weeks ago:
I’m an old, and in my lifetime weed went from “smoke a joint and relax” to “take the tiniest bit of flower I can ignite and be two joints into the day”. I have friends who are “I’ve got a patch on, I had two gummies, and I just took a bong rip”, high as giraffe pussy, and while I’m happy for them, that’s just not the “high” that drew me into the profession decades ago.
There is a world of difference between having two beers after work every day, and a fifth throughout the day. There are no more “beers” for weed, it’s all shine. We are going to have to “relearn” what it means, cognitively and physically, to be a marijuana enthusiast.

My friend, I can tell you that the gun is very much not metaphorical. If you find yourself on the other side of society’s constant messaging and actions towards trans people, without friends, you’re dead.

Which theories for “the great silence” are currently testable? Which ones currently prove or disprove anything?
This theory is at least evidence based. If you’d like to know how it specifically differs from a specific theory, I’m happy to explain just like below.
The way it differs from some god or faeries preserving humans is that;
- it doesn’t require the entity to know or care about us specifically. It does not revolve around our existence
- it fits the observable evidence instead of dismissing it or excusing it or coming up with fantastical, unfounded, "magics"
- it is a logical conclusion for any thinking matter that can consistently improve but is still computationally constrained to our universe, to preserve novelty for the sake of “unknown unknowns” that cannot be computationally discovered
- it follows a proven pattern of increasing information density that can be traced back to the beginning of the existence of any thinking matter. It is the logical conclusion of the physics of that process as we have observed it in the historical record, playing out over several billion years, anywhere in the universe

The answer is obvious, it’s just not anthropocentric, so no one bothers to think of it.
When you look out at the sky, you see the results of a universe engineered by an intelligent species. You can’t tell, for the same reason a hippo looking out at a nature preserve can’t tell they are in a curated environment that has been made to appear to them as natural as possible, set aside for preservation.
We are ants, farting into the cosmos, wondering why no one else farts back. To think that radio waves and visible light are the height of understanding and interacting with the universe, is on its face nonsense. We can’t even maintain homeostasis on a single tiny planet that started with the most perfect conditions a universe could ever have for us. Why oh why do the “brightest minds” think that we have the tools to communicate with or even observe those who traverse solar systems, much less galaxies or the universe itself?
Pure ego. Look at all the “great filter possibilities” people propose. They’re all “what if monkey forest, but bigger”. Sure Ken, the unfathomable universe is just “big monkey forest”.

Laudanum is a 1% morphine solution. Morphine is less potent then heroin. It is a different drug.
