Important for all - "Metabloic Syndrome" Thread:
More than 40% of the US is obese (BMI>30), while ~ 1/3 is overweight (BMI between 25-30) per CDC data.
If you are obese you run a great risk of chronic illness, or succumbing to acute illness (ex: covid).
this is just the most ridiculous AI application i've ever seen lol
a Peter Thiel-backed startup that makes AI collars for cows is now worth $2 billion
and the more I read about it the cooler it gets. here's how it works:
every cow wears a solar-powered collar that talks to a network of radio towers and an app on the farmer's phone
instead of building physical fences, the farmer draws the fence on a map in the app, and the collar keeps each cow inside that invisible line using GPS
when a cow drifts toward the edge, the collar plays a sound to steer her, and a gentle vibration tells her which way to go.
it's like how a car beeps as you back up toward a wall
the cows learn the cues in a few days
so now a rancher can move an entire herd to fresh grass by sliding the fence on a map, without driving out to open a single gate
and that same collar is reading each cow's body the whole time.
it takes five readings per second on every animal, so the AI can catch a cow that's sick, injured, ready to breed, or about to give birth before a person would ever notice walking the field
so it's basically like WHOOP for cows too lol
and they gave the AI behind it the perfect name: the Cowgorithm
it's been trained on more than 7 billion hours of real cow behavior, which is why Halter calls the data its real asset and moat.
they know what a normal cow looks like better than anyone, so they can flag the odd one out instantly
it's already on more than 1M cattle across New Zealand, Australia, and a bunch of US states.
California even used it on public land to graze cattle in patterns that clear dry brush and slow down wildfires
costs about $5 to $8 per cow per month
a job that used to mean barbed wire, gates, and driving the fields all day is now mostly 1 person on their phone
đ Google to Release 64 Million Bacteria-Infected Mosquitoes Across California and Florida Over the Next Two YearsâThe Truth and Actual Numbers (Itâs Worse Than 64 Million)
Google has filed two separate Experimental Use Permit applications with the EPA, not one. When you add them together, the scale is staggering:
View the second image below.
Subtotal: 64 million mosquitoes over two years targeting the primary West Nile and St. Louis encephalitis vector.
Combined total across both permits: 176 million lab-bred, Wolbachia-infected male mosquitoes slated for release across American neighborhoods.
đŠ How Itâs Supposed to Work
The mechanism is cytoplasmic incompatibility. Male mosquitoes are infected with a specific Wolbachia pipientis strain that doesnât carry the same Wolbachia strain; the eggs fail to develop in the lab. When these treated males mate with wild females who donât carry the same Wolbachia strain, the eggs donât hatch. No offspring, population crashes.
The sales pitch is clean:
- Males donât bite â so no increased nuisance to humans during the release
- Not âgenetically modifiedâ in the transgenic sense â Wolbachia is a naturally occurring endosymbiotic bacterium already found in ~60% of insect species
- Species-specific â only the target species is affected
- âAlternative to chemical pesticidesâ â the greenwashed framing
đŽ What Theyâre Not Telling You
1. The EPA Classified This as a Pesticide
Read that again. Under FIFRA Section 5, the EPA is treating live, bacteria-infected mosquitoes as a âpesticide chemicalâ with an âactive ingredientâ measured in milligrams. The Federal Register lists the total active ingredient as 8,480 mg for the Aedes permit and 14,080 mg for the Culex permit.
Youâre not being asked to comment on a public health intervention. Youâre being asked to comment on a pesticide experiment â and the EPAâs own framing should tell you something about how they actually view whatâs being released into the air you breathe and the ecosystem you live in.
2. No Release Locations Have Been Announced
The Federal Register notices specify the states but not the counties, cities, or neighborhoods. The public comment period closes June 5, 2026 â and residents are being asked to weigh in without knowing whether these mosquitoes will be released in their backyards, near their schools, or around their children's playgrounds.
Thatâs not oversight. Thatâs a blank check dressed up as a comment period.
3. The âMale Mosquitoes Donât Biteâ Defense Is Incomplete
Yes, male mosquitoes donât blood-feed. But the release mechanism itself â millions of insects emerging from automated rearing facilities into residential areas â introduces variables that havenât been adequately studied:
- What happens to local food webs when you flood an ecosystem with millions of Wolbachia-infected males that then die without reproducing? Bats, birds, dragonflies, and fish all feed on adult mosquitoes. A sudden pulse of 16 million dying males isnât ecologically neutral.
- What about Wolbachia horizontal transfer to non-target species? The bacteria can jump between arthropod species under certain conditions. Once itâs in the wild at this scale, itâs not coming back.
4. The Track Record Is Mixed at Best
Earlier Wolbachia trials in the Florida Keys (through MosquitoMate and Oxitec) produced inconsistent results. Some areas saw population suppression; others saw mosquitoes bounce back or shift their breeding patterns. The Miami Herald documented significant community pushback and operational failures in prior releases.
The Singapore Debug expansion â announced May 12, 2026 â is being sold as a success story, but itâs an R&D program, not a proven intervention. Youâre the test subject, not the beneficiary.
5. Googleâs Involvement Should Raise Every Alarm Bell
This isnât a public health agency. This isnât a university research lab. This is Google LLC â a surveillance advertising company with a documented history of:
- Launching projects, collecting massive datasets, then abandoning them when theyâre no longer profitable
- Operating health-tech ventures (Verily) that have repeatedly over-promised and under-delivered while vacuuming up sensitive biological data
- Using AI and automation in ways that prioritize scale and data collection over safety and informed consent
The Debug project uses "software engineers, biologists, specialized insect breeding robots, and artificial intelligence" â meaning every release is also a data-harvesting operation. What data are they collecting? On whom? With what consent?
6. The Comment Period Is a Formality
Letâs be blunt about how the EPAâs âpublic commentâ process works in practice. The agency has already determined these permits âmay be of regional and national significanceâ â which in regulatory language means theyâre treating this as a precedent-setting approval. The comments get filed, summarized by some contractor, and the permit is issued with whatever âconditionsâ the agency feels like attaching.
Past EUPs for mosquito releases have included âmonitoring requirements, buffer zones, and stop-release triggersâ â all of which sound reassuring until you realize enforcement is essentially non-existent and the triggers are set so high theyâll never activate.
đ§Ź The Bigger Picture
This is what happens when you let Silicon Valley treat the biosphere as a software problem to be debugged. The name itself â Debug â reveals the mentality. Mosquitoes arenât code glitches. Ecosystems arenât programs you can patch with a release update.
The diseases these mosquitoes carry â West Nile, dengue, Zika, chikungunya â are real problems. But the solution pathway that leads through Googleâs labs, automated rearing facilities, and the EPAâs pesticide regulatory framework is not the same thing as a public health intervention. Itâs a corporate experiment using the American public as unwitting subjects, with the EPA providing the regulatory rubber stamp.
The comment deadline is June 5. After that, the decision moves behind closed doors â and 176 million bacteria-infected mosquitoes start getting boxed up for delivery to neighborhoods that havenât been named and residents who havenât been asked.

I had nearly a 2 hour conversation with some family about this very topic last weekend.
Make sure your kids play multiple sports - let them explore different movement patterns & skills. Don't put it all in one basket as the road is exactly as described below for 99% of people.
A PARENTâS JOURNEY THROUGH YOUTH SPORTS:
Age 5: âHeâs got a cannon.â
Age 6: âHeâs the fastest kid out there. Coach said so.â
Age 7: âRec ball isnât challenging him anymore.â
Age 8: âWe tried out for select. Obviously made it.â
Age 9: â$2,800 for the season. Plus uniforms. Plus tournaments. Plus hotels.â
Age 10: âCooperstown is basically a family vacation, right?â
Age 11: âHe needs a hitting guy. And a pitching guy. And probably a mental performance coach.â
Age 12: âIâm not a crazy sports parent. The OTHER parents are crazy.â
Age 13: âWe changed schools. For academics. (And also baseball.)â
Age 14: âShowcases are a requirement at this age.â
Age 15: âYa his ranking just ticked up. Weâre cooking.â
Age 16: âHe just needs to get seen by the right school.â
Age 17: âThe D1 schools want him to walk on. Heâll earn a spot by sophomore year.â
Age 18: âOkay, D2 is actually really competitive.â
Age 19: âHeâs redshirting. Strategic.â
Age 20: âHeâs focusing on school now.â
Age 21: âYou know what? Heâs so much happier.â
Roughly 7% of high schoolers play in college.
About 1.5% of those get drafted.
Less than half of draftees ever play one day in the big leagues.
The odds of our kids going pro are somewhere between âstruck by lightningâ and âfind a $100 in old shorts.â
I love youth sports (all my kids play a bunch of them) just keep a good perspective my friends. âïž
@Cernovich I'm a PT - just did an extensive course on the upper trunk that focuses on manual technique to mobilize hard palate & bones of the cranium & throat structures to improve all that. Fun stuff :)

My 6 yr old son has had behavior problems.
A week ago I started:
2.5 mg of creatine
150 mg of magnesium glycinate
200 mg theanine
500 mg sodium
200 mg potassium
I mix it all into 6 oz water with the electrolyte stick for flavor (salt of the earth) in the morning.
It has been a massive success. Behavior way better.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting.
Amen.
I believe in God,
the Father almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was buried;
he descended into hell;
on the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty; from there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
