@NgoloTesla True & beautifully said.

@NgoloTesla Vivian truly was one of the few unforgettable ones. I hope she's doing well, somewhere on Earth.

Mainstreaming of parapsychological knowledge is one reason to be excited for the future. Eventually even prestigious universities will have whole departments for its research and the techniques will become ever more accessible.

It is interesting to observe that mainstream society is beginning to speak more freely about the non-linear nature of time, precognitive dreams, astral projection, telepathy, states of consciousness, remote viewing, and alternate realities - so-called "woo woo" topics that were once dismissed as madness. The social conditioning against exploring such ideas has created a pervasive stigma, branding them as psychic anomalies - the modern-day equivalent of "witchcraft" - when, in reality, they pertain to fundamental aspects of human perception and consciousness, areas we have yet to explore as thoroughly as we should.

It almost seems as though the deliberate cultivation of stigma serves as a strategic mechanism to delay the exploration of certain concepts. In many cases, we ought to examine those very ideas that carry social stigma - for boundaries have not always been constructed to protect us, they often exist to confine us as well.

Kids making fun of their parents silly beliefs - germ theory in this case - is my favourite genre. Children are conduits of heavenly wisdom.

Everyone knows identical twins share a telepathic bond. Their DNA is identical, so their two bodies can talk in the same way that their individual cells can, within each body. Gut feeling comes from the gut, can be shared across multiple people. Each bacterial strain in the gut has identical DNA... Bacterial Telepathy.

Taking methylphenidate (ADHD drug) is like becoming a Terminator. A machine mind armed with a razor-sharp knife. Laser focus for the small price of losing a piece of your humanity. A true faustian bargain. Cool to experience, can't recommend for continuous use though.

@celestialbe1ng Grocery stores will be stocked with these types of Supergummies in the future.

There must be genetic proclivities in music that one enjoys. Swedish artists are adept at channeling pure joy - meanwhile even the happier Finnish party songs have an unsettling undercurrent of deep melancholy.

Veronica Maggio is one of the few Swedish artists who makes music in the Finnish style. Veronica often performs with Sweden-Finns, which is not a coincidence.

This Swedish/Finnish dichotomy splits right through the middle of my soul.

@bog_being @LegoRacers2 Kalevala was partly forged by its author Dr. Elias Lönnröt to make the collection of stories "coherent" to himself. Important to keep in mind when trying to make sense of its underlying wisdom.

[Göran Westervik @WestervikG]

Got to watch out for people who like your stuff a little bit too much. These "superfans" have a curious habit of turning into obsessive haters, never letting go of perceived slights even after years have passed and you've forgotten their names.

[Göran Westervik @WestervikG]

Ross Ulbricht's pardon is a major Whitepill. Over 11 years unjustly imprisoned with a life sentence. He never lost hope, never lost the courage to dream of freedom.

[Göran Westervik @WestervikG]

Cynical atheists will doubt it, but this is literally true. Knowing this will also give overwhelming social confidence as you don't try to force outcomes, you will be at ease with whatever happens. There's a golden path for you!

[N'Golo⚡Wizard.Talk @NgoloTesla]

"Dating" is one of the worst consequences of the atheistic belief in a random world. If you have any sort of belief in fate, purpose or God you would scoff at ridiculous modernities like "playing the field" or "dating scene" or "situationships" or "sexual market value". Your children will arrive no sooner than you are ready, and this is worse than treading water, you are literally going backwards doing these things. Meeting people, being social is good. That's fertile ground for fate to manifest. Anyone who's ever been in love know you don't need to go on a date to know what is right and true.

[Göran Westervik @WestervikG]

@celestialbe1ng You're doing God's work, keep it up!

[Göran Westervik @WestervikG]

Unreasonable elitism is too common in the Peatsphere. Health belongs even to those who are unable or unwilling to dive deep in to the nuances of nutrition and lifestyle. Nothing wrong with a little streamlining.

[Veronica, Collagen Scientist 🇵🇱 @celestialbe1ng]

95% of ordinary people couldn’t care less who Ray Peat was or what he stood for.

They’re not interested in exploring biochemistry or poring over scientific articles—they simply want their problems solved, whether that’s bleeding gums or losing excess weight.

And can you blame them? You don’t enrol in an accounting degree to get your taxes sorted; you hire an accountant.

You don’t attend law school after a car accident; you get a lawyer.

When you learned geometry in school, you didn’t start quoting Thales of Miletus or Pythagoras every time you used it in daily life. It simply becomes part of the framework you rely on without thinking about it.

As ideas gain popularity and reach a broader audience, they inevitably become summarised and diluted.

This isn’t a flaw; it’s the natural order of things. You can’t have it both ways—depth and universal simplicity rarely coexist. That’s just the way the universe works.

Hope everyone is well and warm.

@myth_pilot Awesome thread. It's so true, they really got to stop with the circus.

[Scorched Earth Policy @Scearpo]

When presented with the works of visionaries, the primordial task slave will always utter their ancient motto:

“But you didn’t do the actual work!”

These types of people will always bring up the same stupid solutions to all the world’s problems shared by 10 year olds, pothead high schoolers, and housewives on Facebook:

“Why not just make the smartest scientists in the world run the government?”

The midwit devcel engineer brain wage scraping task slave is allergic to ambition. The task slave is an archetype of pure logistics, completely incapable of parsing value beyond physically apparent utility. It is a handicap of materialistic thinking to disregard the abstract skill sets of social capability, leadership, organization, marketing, or ideation.

The task slave was descended from Mesopotamian scribes and basket weaving hens in villages of antiquity. The task slave occupies a tiny bubble of their own mastered role which is a fraction of the whole that is civilization.

The task slave cannot parse between the act of physically speaking and the process of communication.

The task slave does not understand the difference between an errant thought and an actual idea.

The task slave is a machine learning program whose parameters are set to absolute efficiency in the shortest timescale.

The task slave whines at change, charm, choice, charge, and challenge.

The task slave has reduced all actions down to an equation of effort where the conclusion is that it’s always easier to convince their manager not to deviate from the familiar than it is to solve new problems.

The task slave despises capitalism for quantifying value in absolute objective clarity. They will scoff at their superiors enjoying higher pay, status, and power while proclaiming their own deserved credit for an enterprise in which they participate, while ignoring every other element of teamwork and resource they depend on. They will do this while also conveniently disregarding the myriad of jobs in the world which are much harder, more time consuming, and pay much less than what they receive.

A world run by task slaves would be at best a steadily declining stagnation, more likely a rapid decay into chaotic turmoil preceding usurpation at the hands of violent men of ambition. Task slaves will parade around flaunting their two dozen irreverent ideas and five different unfinished hobby projects. Task slaves will refuse to take any risk at pursuing their own visions while complaining they are trapped in the prison of manifesting the dreams of greater men. Task slaves will do everything possible to disregard every achievement of their leaders while scrutinizing their most irrelevant hiccups.
Task slaves bow before the likes of Steve Wozniak and the assistant painters of the Sistine Chapel while spitting on the likes of Steve Jobs and Michelangelo.

The task slave will never understand that a pyramid lasting for tens of thousands of years will always be a more valuable use of resources, time, and labor than the comfort of a million peasants being granted a million fabricated shacks to withstand a century or two at most.

The task slave will never grasp the human need for heroes in the great mythology of history. They will defy the conventions that historically have always coalesced the efforts of a team onto the credit of a singular director. They would rather dilute the inspiration of Edisons, Fords, Caesars, and Napoleons in favor of a drab incoherent swath of committees and circumstantial participants too numerous to substantially remember.

The task slave is a necessary element in the fundamental formula of human progress, a beast of burden that must always be herded towards the great unknown by a visionary who can overcome petty resistance in the face of minor discomfort.

Task slaves will never truly create or discover anything on their own. They have traded glory for a safe secure existence.

@JumalanNuoli @Lintukoto3 Risking death for your kin is rational when the tribe exists for your benefit. It isn't when you are explicitly demonized as replaceable tax-cattle of an Economic Zone.

Quitting the army reserves is the only strong signal of disapproval for the establishment.

[Göran Westervik @WestervikG]

@flecktarncel Hyvää iltaa!

[Göran Westervik @WestervikG]

Hope that this grows big and eventually will feature (crowd-sourced?) investigations into the products to prevent grifters from making the list with unclean/ineffective products.

Thank you for making this.

Your babies are trying to redpill you on reincarnation. Please take them seriously.

[Brian Graham 🦬 @iroasmas]

when my daughter was 3 she’d talk about the distant future when she was a grownup and my wife and i were babies. we realized she thought our family was taking turns being grownups and kids. it sounded cool
