@BasedBiohacker 3 weeks on ProHealth Oral BPC 157. Increased cortisol, close to no REM sleep and constipation. On the plus side, Iโm already seeing improvement in my chronic rotator cuff issue. Unfortunately Iโll have to come off it..
@ylecun@elonmusk@Devon_Eriksen_ Before lecturing the world on politics, pls compare your likes with Elon and Devon. Democracy can be brutally quantitative! Accept the election results here and get back to coding! ๐ฅ
1. Idiocracy is not a film about television and fast food. It is a film about negative selection โ what happens when a system, over enough time, consistently rewards stupidity and punishes thought. The mechanism requires no malice. It requires only that compliance be more comfortable than intelligence, and that comfort be the only value on offer.
2. Communism ran this experiment at gunpoint, in real time. The intelligent were the first problem โ they noticed things, named things, remembered things. So they were removed. What remained was a civilization that had learned, across generations, that thinking loudly was dangerous and thinking quietly was exhausting. So it stopped.
3. The system then promoted accordingly. Loyalty over competence. Conformity over creativity. The reliable mediocrity over the brilliant deviation. This is not a side effect. It is the intended output. A society of obedient workers โ remember Boxer from Animal Farm? โ but without the sincerity โ compliant units who had forgotten there was ever another option.
4. Brawndo has electrolytes. The sentence is repeated with increasing confidence as counter-evidence accumulates. This is not just stupidity โ it is also the mature form of zakลamanie. The slogan replaces the argument because the argument was never the point.
5. The West is running the same experiment, more slowly, through screens, through the managed demolition of educational standards, through the replacement of argument with slogan and merit with grievance. Communism first used a gun. The new version uses an algorithm and a feelings-first curriculum.
6. The destination is identical. The Idiocracy is not a warning about the future. In some places it is already the second five-year plan.
@PeterDiamandis Curiousity leads to more data. More data means more recursive pattern recognition by the brain leading to more intelligence and increased cognitive processing.
