Fourteen moves in eight days
The psyop to create hysteria to manipulate Congress into regulating AI.
Almost everyone involved is affiliated with Coefficient, Open Philanthropy, Anthropic, and/or OpenAI -- all who serve to benefit financially from creating regulation.

EXCLUSIVE: Chinese Institutions Are Building AI Models Of American Voters—And Testing Political Messages On Them.
Fudan used 171 MILLION X posts to create a million-account “voter pool.” A government-linked team tested a campaign message on synthetic Pennsylvania voters. 🧵

Sunlight on skin makes vitamin D out of cholesterol.
Sunlight on skin releases nitric oxide and drops your blood pressure.
Sunlight at dawn sets the clock running your sleep and your mood.
Sunlight in a child's eye slows the elongation that becomes short-sightedness.
Every living thing on this planet is downstream of that star, without exception.
It has arrived free every morning for four billion years.
The eye was built specifically to receive it.
And somewhere in the last forty years we were taught to be afraid of it.
Afraid of the sun.
We check an index before we go outside.
We coat children in chemicals before school, every two hours.
When the regulator finally tested those chemicals, all six crossed into the blood after one application.
The star that made every calorie you have ever eaten is now something you buy a product to avoid.
Vitamin D deficiency went from a slum disease to a routine blood result.
No animal has ever needed protecting from its own star.
Every other creature on earth still moves toward it.
One species checks an app first.

Friends in business who “avoid politics”, instead of studying and doing their civic duty to fight as best they can for the principles of our civilization that enable their lives and work.
In Dante's Inferno, people who were neutral in life are treated just as harshly as those who sinned.
These are the "uncommitted" who chose no side. They are rejected by both Heaven *and* Hell.
Lukewarm souls are made to wait forever in the "Vestibule of Hell". They're stung by wasps while they run around in pursuit of a meaningless white banner (in punishment for standing beneath no banner in life).
Even worse, their blood and tears flow from their faces onto the ground to be consumed by maggots. Why?
In Christianity, Christ's blood is shed for man's salvation, and the blood of the martyrs is considered the seed of the Church. To bleed — whether literally or metaphorically — for a worthy cause is a great act of love.
But in the case of the lukewarm, their blood merely feeds maggots. "You shall know them by their fruits," Christ says, but the only "fruit" the lukewarm produce is nourishment for worms.
Dante himself was exiled from his hometown of Florence by a rival faction after years of civil conflict. His dislike of the lukewarm stemmed from those who sat on the sidelines and did nothing while his sentence was handed down — those who let injustice slide and were more concerned with protecting their own lot in life.
Dante doesn't even give them the courtesy of mentioning them by name in his Inferno. The "uncommitted" are all nameless.
His warning to the spineless is thus:
Stand for nothing, and nothing is what you'll become.

It is essential that everyone directly pushes back on these intellectual terrorists who continue to pretend the average person is some political extremist.
This is the only way that common sense returns.

pH 1.5. That is your stomach, and the only other animals down there eat things that have been dead for days.
Everyone wants to argue about teeth. Teeth are on the outside, where a campaigner can point at them. The stomach is filed in a 2015 review nobody handing out leaflets has ever read.
So read it. Scientists pulled gastric pH from 68 species of birds and mammals and sorted them by diet. Mean pH by group:
- Obligate scavengers, the carrion specialists: 1.3
- Humans: 1.5
- Facultative scavengers: 1.8
- Generalist carnivores: 2.2
- Omnivores: 2.9
- Fish and insect eaters: 3.6
- Herbivores: 4.1 to 6.1
- Every other primate alive: 3.0 or higher
pH runs on a log scale, so 1.5 against 3.0 is roughly thirty times the acidity. You are carrying an acid bath no other ape comes close to, and your only company is the vulture and the hyena, the animals built to eat the dead without dying.
That filter is expensive to maintain. Evolution does not issue a scavenger's stomach to a fruit eater for a hobby. It issues it to kill what is living inside meat that would put other animals in the ground.
You have the stomach of a vulture and the dietary opinions of a rabbit.
Have the steak. Bring the teeth.

The fat on your plate becomes the fat in your skin. That is not a metaphor, it is just where it ends up.
Fill your diet with seed oils and you build your skin out of polyunsaturated fat, the kind with unstable bonds that sunlight tears apart.
Fill it with the fats humans ate for a couple of million years and you build it out of something that does not catch fire in daylight.
Fill it with seed oils and the same sun that your grandparents lay out in for hours now reddens you in twenty minutes flat.
Fill it with butter, tallow and suet and the skin holds up under a light that has not changed its strength since before we had a word for it.
Then we reached for a bottle of factor 50 to guard the skin, and a bottle of statins to guard the heart, and never once looked at the oil doing both.
Then we blamed the daylight.

There are tribes on this planet who eat meat, fat, and whole foods every single day.
They've been doing it for tens of thousands of years.
They don't get heart disease. They don't get diabetes. They don't get obese.
You've been told the food they eat is killing you.
They're the proof it isn't. 🧵

Technology allows us to grow food without pesticides and support more healthy humans.
Another absolute win for the techno-capital machine.
Another L for Decels.
autonomous robot driving through the field at night. no chemicals. no pesticides. just UV light killing pathogens and pests while everyone sleeps. this is @tricrobotics.
this is what chemical-free pest control looks like at scale.

Breaking news for anyone who hasn't worked this out yet:
Cows are vegan.
Stay with me.
The cow eats the grass. The clover. The herbs. The wildflowers. The diverse, mineral-rich, organically grown plant matter you've been told to base your diet around.
The cow then, and this is the interesting bit, converts all of that plant material into complete protein, bioavailable haem iron, zinc, B12, the fat-soluble vitamins, omega-3 fatty acids, creatine, and carnosine.
She does this with four stomachs. Which are considerably better at the job than yours.
The most efficient way to eat a plant-based diet, biologically speaking, is to let a cow do it first.
The cow is the blender.
The cow is performing the processing you cannot perform yourself, on a scale you could not approximate with the entire contents of a Whole Foods salad bar.
When you eat beef, you are eating a hyperconcentrated, grass-powered superfood that a committed vegan has spent eighteen months in a field assembling for you.
You're welcome.

California almond farmers use 1.5 trillion gallons of water per year - 8x more than all US data centers combined.
And golf courses use 500 billion gallons of water.
This isn’t environmentalism; it’s propaganda.
Are green fairways and almond exports more important than space exploration and cancer research?

Hyperscaler CapEx consensus estimates imply spending grows from roughly $380B in FY2025 to about $1.03T by FY2028, a 39.5% CAGR.
$NVDA CEO Jensen Huang believes AI infrastructure spending could ultimately reach $4T by 2030, implying a much steeper trajectory beyond current consensus estimates.
That would require spending to accelerate dramatically from FY2028 through FY2030 as demand for compute, networking, memory, storage, cooling, and power continues to surge. Of course, much of that investment would be funded by $AMZN, $MSFT, $GOOGL, and $META.
Take a wild guess who the beneficiaries might be.

The healthy LDL number has been quietly moving its own goalposts for forty years:
- 1988: under 160
- 1993: under 130
- 2001: under 100
- 2004: under 70 for the high-risk
- 2019: under 55 for the very-high-risk
- Current trajectory: as low as possible, indefinitely
The science did not change.
The line did.
Move the line down by 30 milligrams and you have invented millions of new patients overnight. Same arteries. Same people. Different number on the page. Blood that was healthy on Friday is a chronic condition on Monday.
A diagnosis you can give to anyone is a prescription you can sell to anyone.
The line is wherever the next prescription pad needs it to be.

Testosterone is made from cholesterol.
Oestrogen is made from cholesterol.
Cortisol is made from cholesterol.
Vitamin D is made from cholesterol.
Bile acids that digest fat are made from cholesterol.
Progesterone, which sustains pregnancy, is made from cholesterol.
Every cell membrane in your body contains cholesterol.
Every nerve is insulated by myelin, which is largely cholesterol.
Every memory you form requires cholesterol to build the synapse that holds it.
Your brain is 60% fat, mostly cholesterol.
Breast milk is rich in cholesterol because infant brains cannot develop without it.
Nature, given the job of designing the perfect first food, put cholesterol in it.
When you eat less of it, the liver makes more.
Because the body knows it cannot function without it.
We declared war on cholesterol in 1977.
Testosterone in men has dropped 25%.
Vitamin D deficiency is now endemic.
One in three adults over fifty is on a statin lowering the cholesterol the body is desperately trying to maintain.
Depression rates have tripled.
Infertility rates have doubled.
The war is going well.

When butter was demonised, Unilever sold margarine.
When tallow was demonised, Procter and Gamble sold Crisco.
When eggs were demonised, Kellogg's sold cereal.
When red meat was demonised, Cargill sold soy.
When raw milk was demonised, Nestle sold infant formula.
When leather was demonised, BASF sold PVC.
When wool was demonised, ExxonMobil sold polyester feedstock.
When animal fat was demonised, the seed-oil industry grew from a niche product to the most consumed food ingredient on earth.
Every demonisation of an animal product made a specific group of shareholders very rich.
Every one of those products had been eaten by humans for thousands of years without incident.
The science changed the moment a substitute existed to sell.
Follow the money. The advice will start to make a lot more sense.
