Perceive Think Act

An episodic series profiling the work and life of unsung & iconoclastic heroes of science and their battles with the establishment.

We're devastated to share that Ray Peat passed away on Thanksgiving day. He was one of the most iconoclastic thinkers of his time, and we were incredibly fortunate to be able to meet and film him. We will share more info as it comes. Let's all raise a coffee mug in memory of Ray.

[Perceive Think Act @Backofatiger]

@sachsjunior We will let you know if we find out.

[Perceive Think Act @Backofatiger]

Please do not email Ray’s address or call his phone. This is a request from his family.

[Perceive Think Act @Backofatiger]

He was 86 years old.

Over the past couple of years we released our full, unedited interview videos with Ray on YouTube, as well as a more recent audio interview with him about Gilbert Ling. They are all here: https://t.co/Et9hvmB06y

@LoveAndSaucers That’s horrible. Sorry.

[Perceive Think Act @Backofatiger]

To accopamny our first episode, here are two deep dives into Ling's work. The first is with University of Washington Professor Gerald Pollack @4thphasewater. The second is with endocrinologist Dr. Ray Peat. Enjoy!

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Dr. Michael Persinger.
C’est avec grande tristesse que nous annonçons le décès du professeur Michael Persinger.

@drpersinger You'll be sorely missed Michael 😢

[Perceive Think Act @Backofatiger]

Today the world lost a man of staggering intellect, perspicacity, and conviction. We feel fortunate to have spent some quality time filming with him, but this has blindsided us, as he seemed so robust. Thoughts to his family, friends, and students. @drpersinger @LaurentianU

Guess what influences obesity and diabetes more so than genes? Being poor. Find out how and why in this excellent article from @NautilusMag:

@dannyroddy The Tiger crew found it a great and thoughtful read too. Fisher sadly died too young :(

Do you remember the promise of gene therapy, with cures falling down like manna from heaven? 30 years on, we now have a single therapy approved by the FDA, with a litany of life-threatening side effects. And it costs $500k. More on the story here:

We fully support empirical, evidence-based medicine. The issue is that mainstream research is not empirically driven, but profit-driven. Thus the "evidence" is often wrong, and potentially deadly. This article breaks it down masterfully:

Who would have thought that depression could be caused by life events? And that a class of drugs that supposedly raises serotonin, which is supposedly low in depression (both statements may be false), doesn’t really help?
