New pilot study shows two doses of psilocybin reduced symptom burden by ~40% in people with post-treatment Lyme disease (PTLD), with improvements in pain, fatigue, sleep, and mood lasting up to 6 months. Findings are still very preliminary, but suggests psilocybin may be a new avenue for treating PTLD and possibly similar illnesses.

Last week, we observed a sudden spike in bitchat downloads from Indonesia during nationwide protests.

Today we're seeing an even bigger spike from Nepal during youth protests over government corruption and a social media ban.

Freedom tech is for the people. Please share.

@DSBatten I think @bitchat being used in #NepalGenZProtest takes the cake for me

70% of Americans can’t afford a median home. Why?

Broken money forced people to use real estate as savings, making homes unaffordable. Houses aren’t savings accounts, they’re meant to be lived in.

#Bitcoin demonetizes housing, drives prices down and puts families back in homes.

@1MarkMoss You realize this says it only applies to cryptocurrencies held on an exchange, right?

@doubleblindmag Public awareness is indeed low, however political awareness is at an all time high w/ 38 states (+DC) having introduced well over 220 bill related to psychedelics over the past 5 years.

I just published a report that takes a deep dive: https://t.co/bBcNR8NDUH

This is cool, but I still don't understand why were still stuck on federal "research" when tens of thousands of people have gone through Oregon's psilocybin program. It's providing safe and positive outcomes at 20x the scale of clinical trials, for a fraction of the cost.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he's aiming to provide access to psychedelic therapy for military veterans "within 12 months"—adding that he talks about the issue with Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins "all the time."

A leaderless decentralized cypherpunk open source software project that secures property rights and free speech for anyone and destroys central banking and financial censorship has just eclipsed the corporate behemoth Amazon in market cap

@frankcorva I'm REALLY curious to hear more on how the new Oregon law might support younger bitcoiners who have not yet been able to qualify for buying a home because they couldn't post their #bitcoin as collateral. @gauchoeddy @Dennis_Porter_

@orikron Since when is a rear naked choke hold a "Chinese martial arts trick"...? Pretty sure Japanese Samurai used RNC's for centuries as a JuJitsu based hand to hand combat technique.

[Sam Chapman @SeriouslySamuel]

I think psychedelic pilot programs are the sweet spot for state legislatures right now to advance focused access frameworks that can scale over time, that also ideally include funding not just for program admin, but for treatment as well. LFG Nevada!!
