Love me some aquaponics. I have this idea that when i get rolling with the farm, ill have a big-ass setup where i grow corn, tomatoes, peppers, etc... all the things required to make tacos...Fish tacos...And I will open the first Tacoponics stand.
Take note, this is what corruption looks like.
Small butchers keep quality and safe food handling practices in check. Big guys are constantly cutting corners, looking for profit.
I spent this morning reading a preliminary, non-peer reviewed study on accumulated cognitive debt when using ChatGPT. It was released by MIT in June 2025.
The study was performed specifically in the context of participants being asked to write essays on various topics.
One group was tasked with completing the assignment using only help from the large language model, ChatGPT.
Another group was allowed to use only search engines.
The third group was the “brain only“ group. No aids were allowed.
Although this was a small study, it’s a crystal clear window into the disruption that is likely happening within our brains through our novel use of AI in writing tasks.
"As the educational impact of LLM use only begins to settle with the general population, in this study we demonstrate the pressing matter of a likely decrease in learning skills based on the results of our study. The use of LLM had a measurable impact on participants, and while the benefits were initially apparent, as we demonstrated over the course of 4 months, the LLM
group's participants performed worse than their counterparts in the Brain-only group at all levels:
neural, linguistic, scoring."
Ray Peat was not just a biologist. He was a metabolic visionary. His work cut through the mainstream nutritional dogma to illuminate the foundational role of energy, light, and structure in human health. If you’ve ever questioned low-carb diets, feared cholesterol, or felt confused about your thyroid, Peat likely had a thought-provoking answer grounded in cellular function and human biology.
His work has changed so many lives, including mine.
Here are 7 of the most compelling ideas from Ray Peat’s bioenergetic philosophy:
"The syntactical nature of reality, the real secret of magic, is that the world is made of words. And if you know the words that the world is made of, you can make of it whatever you wish."- Terence McKenna
