This new paper, which argues that the AI hype & psychedelics hype are interconnected, is possibly my most ambitious work. It synthesizes all of my previous work, from right-wing psychedelia to psychedelic capitalism & suggestibility in clinical trials:  /1 https://t.co/WxLJAxX8ui

Coupled Tusi couples do fractals. I wonder if al-Tusi played anything like this out. Or was his astronomy as order-obsessed as any 13th century mathematicians?

The Great Wave off Kanagawa, created by Hokusai in 1831, is one of the world's most famous paintings.

Very Wizard of Oz Scarecrowy! Did NASA @NASAMoon spacesuit engineers anticipate this much low-gravity slapstick? Nyuck, nyuck, nyuck! Is the next-gen suit up the ruff-n-tumble? #AxiomSpace just got the contract 9/7/22: $3.5B.
