Sunlight Matters, and I will be recording a podcast and discussing why with:
- Bob Fosbury
- Glen Jeffery
- @RogerSeheult
- Scott Zimmerman
They have new research being published. It’s huge.
Light and life!
If you would like to listen to the live recording comment below… 5pm UK, June
🚨BREAKING: A cognitive scientist from MIT has mathematically proven that evolution guarantees we see zero percent of true reality, that most consciousness in the universe exists without a body, and that non-human intelligences with a wider window on reality than ours can reach in and manipulate it the way a programmer manipulates a video game.
Donald Hoffman (@donalddhoffman) is a cognitive scientist at UC Irvine who has spent 40 years building a mathematical theory of the observer. His work was cited by John Wheeler in the "It From Bit" paper. He studied under Marvin Minsky at MIT, spent two decades secretly meeting with Francis Crick to study consciousness, and has nine specific mathematical conjectures on the table that would derive general relativity, quantum field theory and the Big Bang from a single framework. The top high-energy physicists in the world, Nima Arkani-Hamed and Nobel laureate David Gross, are already saying spacetime is doomed. Hoffman thinks he knows what replaces it.
This interview is the first time he has publicly laid out what his mathematical model explains about alien life, embodiment and the structure of reality.
It already derives time dilation and quantum wave functions directly from differences in observer window size. Physics has spent a century failing to solve the measurement problem because it has been looking in the wrong place. The observer has to come first, and no physicalist framework can get you there.
A consciousness with a larger observer window has access to the underlying structure of our reality in ways we can't perceive or counter. A craft going Mach 40 instantaneously in our headset could be a leisurely maneuver in theirs.
The implications for UAP and alien life are immense.
Embodiment, being locked into a body with fingers and toes as your only interface with the world, is a probability zero anomaly in the full space of possible minds. He also says current large language models are dumber than cucumbers. His new framework, the recursive trace logic, is a completely different architecture, and some of the biggest names in frontier AI have already come to him about it.
The framework has no ceiling, and the implication is a single unified consciousness exploring itself through an unbounded number of perspectives, each one capable of waking up.
Death, in this framework, is just the closing of an icon on the desktop.
Full conversation is live now.
@denisyurchak This is nonsense. I live here. I've been to several oldschool cafés in the last years and there were no bad experiences whatsoever. Even the waiters were friendly despite the fact that Vienna is – reportedly – famous for rude coffeehouse waiters.

COVID changed something in me that cannot be unchanged.
Not the virus. Not even the mandates. What changed it permanently was watching every government on earth arrive at the same silence, at the same moment, and hold it for six years running.
Nearly six years since the rollout began. Not one head of state has stood before their people and said: some of you were harmed, we know it, and you deserve an honest accounting. Not one parliamentary inquiry with genuine authority. Not one compensation framework built on the actual scale of injury. The vaccine injured remain without diagnostic codes in most countries. Without legal recourse. Without the most basic institutional acknowledgment that what happened to their bodies was real.
This is what accountable institutions do after genuine public health emergencies. They review. They audit. They ask who was harmed and how. They produce findings that are uncomfortable because the discomfort is the point. The discomfort is how trust gets rebuilt.
What we have instead is a wall. And behind the wall, people who lost careers for raising questions that turned out to be legitimate. People who watched their governments promote Long COVID with full institutional weight while refusing to ask a single honest question about overlapping presentations in the vaccine injured. The same symptoms. The same mechanisms proposed in the literature. The convenient frame that points in every direction except at the product.
The coordination is what tells you the most. Individual negligence looks different. It is patchy. It is inconsistent. Individual negligence produces whistleblowers, outliers, one government that breaks from the rest because the political cost of silence finally exceeds the cost of honesty.
What we have is not that. What we have is universal. And universality of this kind does not emerge from independent actors independently deciding to do nothing. It is decided.
There is a particular cruelty in what this does to the injured. It is not just that they are uncompensated. It is that the silence communicates something to them about their value. That they were considered acceptable losses before the fact, and inconvenient liabilities after it. That the calculus was made, and they lost. The psychological cost of that message, delivered not once but every single day through continued institutional indifference, is its own injury layered on top of the physical one.
The children absorb this too. They are watching their parents fight for recognition against institutions that will not move. They are learning what governments actually mean when they say they will protect them. They are developing a relationship with authority that no civics class will be able to undo.
The universal silence of world leaders on vaccine injury is not the behaviour of people managing an honest disagreement about evidence.
It is the behaviour of people who have made a collective calculation that the cost of telling the truth now exceeds the cost of never telling it.
And that calculation, held simultaneously, across every major government on earth, is the most important public health finding of the last six years.
Not what the virus did. Not even what the vaccines did.
What the silence, together, reveals about who was making decisions, and who they were making them for.
i like big splats and i cannot lie.
you can now compress, tile and stream city scale 3d gaussian splats -- glTF has an official 3DGS extension now too.
this is what the future of google earth looks like. no more broccoli trees. no more melted powerlines. immaculate ground level detail that actually holds up.
Sunlight!
Infrared light from the sun penetrates through the other body and has been detected coming out the other side in a recent study in Nature: Scientific Reports. This has been documented to have measurable metabolic effects in real time.

Sunlight is critical to our health and well-being. Just listen to what @hubermanlab and @RogerSeheult have to say.
We have just launched Sunscore on @Redfin. A world’s first. It’s a location based metric that scores a property or location for its Sun and shade profile!
