I just spoke with the CIA and they told me you’re gay

One of the worst things you can do is refuse your cross, ignore the hero's call, and always wish that things were different rather than accept what is and do your best to work with it

in the 11th grade my gf and I were fighting before a school dance while getting ready, she was in the bathroom and I texted my buddy Jesse about how big of a bitch she was being. Jesse never got my text :(

You are listening to ‘Lil PooPoo’ rap about drugs and guns

I am listening to the Schuman resonance and recharging my auric field.

We are not the same.

Grok tell me every single thing that is happening everywhere in the entire world exactly right now at this moment

[Freyy @Freyy_is]

i feel most comfortable around people who do not confuse my playfulness for incompetence. you can let me be ridiculous and still respect my mind. those two things are not in conflict.

[Karun Pal @karunpal]

Stop consuming so much of other people’s lives that you forget to live your own. Hour after hour, you watch how they travel, what they buy, who they love, how they succeed. Their highlights become your daily routine. And slowly, you start observing life more than you experience it. That shit makes you forget what 'you' want in life. Your mind fills with their stories, their goals, their timelines. But what about you? You're built different. Your needs are different. Think about it. Don't watch life as the side character in the movie of your life. Live it as the main character.

Recently I was asked about why I talk about Quantum Gravity in negative terms. Why have I called Quantum Gravity a science arresting mental illness?

It is 100% about coercision through poisonous sociology. I am not initiating this behavior; I am returning costs to those who come after me. I have just had it up to hear with QG killing frontier physics through naked anti-scientific agression and madness.

Let me give stylized interactions from 40+ years.

ME: "I think Witten's wrong about X."
QG Theorist: "Wait...YOU think WITTEN is wrong?"
ME: "Yes."
QGT: "HA HA HA."
ME: [30+ Years Later] "...Hey good to see you! Long time. Do you remember when you said Witten was right about X?"
QGT: "Yeah...but Witten changed his mind about that a few years after we talked. And I still trust Witten, not you."
ME: "Okay...but I was correct and Witten was wrong at that time."
QGT: "I still think he was right then."
ME: "But you said he reversed himself."
QGT: "I just think he's always right. He evolved."

That is not a normal scientific interaction.

QGT: "Well you don't have a Lagrangian."
ME: "Why do you say that?"
QGT: "It is well known that you don't have a Lagrangian."
ME: "Let me write it down for you."
QGT: "Uh...I'm extremely busy."
ME: "Here is a picture of a Lagrangian on my phone."
QGT: [Literally looks away.] "Sorry: Don't have time!"
ME: "Well, you post a lot of unrelated stuff on Twitter. There is a Langrangian at the top of my Twitter profile."
QGT: [Trying to avoid confirming a Lagrangian at all costs.] "I have been thinking of moving to BlueSky anyway."
ME: "I can put one there too."

That is not a normal scientific interaction.

ME: "I have my slidedeck, but I didn't see my talk listed."
QGT: "We have sent around an email that you will be answering questions in the seminar room on the 4th floor at 3pm"
ME: "I am giving a presentation."
QGT: "Yes. But, we wanted to make it more informal."
ME: "Huh?"
QGT: "Well, we all know it is a talk, but we don't want you giving a talk."
ME: "I don't get it. I'm a visitor here giving a talk."
QGT: "Right. And we all are dying to hear it. Truly. We just don't want you saying you gave a talk."
ME: "Uh...did you actually hear the words you just said?"
QGT: "We don't want you saying that you gave a talk."
ME: "When I gave a talk? Again: do you hear yourself?"
QGT: "We want to hear the constructions and ideas...that's why you are invited as a visitor. But we don't want you using the fact that you gave a talk to give you legitimacy."
ME: "Which is....uh...my absolute right and totally normal behavior on my part."
QGT: "Sure sure. But we would appreciate it if you didn't mention that you gave a talk and that we invited you."

That is not a normal Scientific Interaction.

ME: [In the middle of a seminar.] "...Which is why the Pati-Salam Grand Unification Group is actually the Maximal Compact Subgroup of the Induced Symmetry Group of Einstein's Symmetric 2-tensors."
QGT: "Don't say that."
ME: "Uh...why?"
QGT: "It sounds funny."
ME: "Uh...in what way?"
QGT: "It sounds like you are saying that the mysterious Standard Model Group is hidden within General Relativity."
ME: "That's the assertion. Yes."
QGT: "Well that sounds Grandiose. Like you are saying you found the Standard Model in Relativity."
ME: "It's literally called GRAND unified theory. Not Grandiose Unified Theory."
QGT: "Well, even if it is true, you shouldn't say it. It makes you sound crazy."
ME: "We are in a famous theoretical physics department. You are telling me I am not supposed to do Particle Theory in a Theoretical Physics talk in a Theoretical Physics group in a Theoretical Physics Department. If we can't do that here, where can we do that."
QGT: "Well we don't do that kind of stuff anymore."
ME: "Uh...then maybe you should??"
QGT: "That's your opinion. Just don't do that."

That is not a scientific interaction.

Etc....

It's a cult. Physics isn't failing. It's just the cult and its leaders which are giving the illusion of universal failure.

Imagine being trapped for days under a heavy log in freezing mud, only for a stranger in a canoe to appear out of nowhere. 🚣‍♂️ 🐕

While paddling solo across Canada, adventurer Tom Hudson took a chance route around a remote island on the Saskatchewan River. That decision saved a life. He heard faint whimpering and found Ivy, a 14-year-old Great Pyrenees, pinned under a log and partially submerged.

Exhausted and unable to move her hind legs, Ivy had been missing for days. Tom waded through thick mud, freed her from the debris, and carried the weak dog to his canoe. He later tracked down her owners, Tom and Janine Stait, who had been searching for her daily. Thanks to a miracle, Ivy was reunited with her family just in time! ✨

[taoki @justalexoki]

this might actually be the best tweet of all time

[danishka @chaosfetishist]

you’re not an artist when you have nothing to share besides vanity

[du @thedulab]

I've never reacted negatively to someone being nervous. Whether it's some coffee chat, interview, etc. I'll occasionally meet people who are clearly a bit fidgety and in their own head

Whenever this happens my first thought is literally always "how can I make this person feel more comfortable? or what might I be doing that's causing them to be like this?" Not sure if this how everyone thinks when they're in similar situations but I feel like those who don't are definitely the minority

Hard to imagine making fun of someone for it or harshly judging because you actually have to be pretty cruel to do that. I mean you don't do that right? Idk mostly writing this to say that if you're someone who struggles with a bit of social anxiety, this tweet might be helpful. Ton of tactics you can try but imo really comes down to just believing that most people are as chill as you are

[jo johnson @josbjohnson]

I have noticed that the people who changed my life did not try to change my life. they were simply in the room being themselves with such completeness that the completeness altered me. through proximity alone. the way a fire alters the room simply by being lit inside it.

[divenn @divya_venn]

When your sense of self is fragile you become honestly a huge bore to talk to bc in every conversation you’re hoping this person will bolster your self-concept in some way.

Which makes you less attentive, less present, less fun, more self absorbed. The best thing you can do is to stop ruminating on your flaws all the time and think about other things.

[Chris Williamson @ChrisWillx]

I am not what I am, I am what you mistake me for.

“Nothing gives you a clearer look into someone than how they misinterpret things; every misinterpretation is a confession.” — @DylanoA4

[Eric Weinstein @ericweinstein]

Let me say this more directly and with a little more precision than I usually do. The reason I am talking at all like this is that no one inside has asked me not to do so with a credible ask. Here goes:

I don’t know if we have made alien contact. But there is a mountain of indirect evidence that is all but impossible to explain otherwise.

There is a mountain of fabricated BS mixed in with it. We deliberately produced copious BS to hide whatever the reality is.

There is no explanation for the first mountain of real indirect evidence having given us no hard evidence. That is the puzzle I can’t solve. I admit that.

Ultimately this secret involves the hardest of the sciences: Mathematics, Biology, and Physics.

I do not believe the String Theory story of “The Only Game In Town” is remotely possible. It’s just too dumb.

I believe string theory is harmless. The thing that doomed us was TOGIT.

TOGIT is the soft sunset program the Biden @WhiteHouse discussed with @pmarca and @bhorowitz. It cuts off all oxygen to anyone who challenges the decision to seal all our best Professors into the intellectual sarcophagus of modern QuantumGravity so they cannot threaten our national interest. Then the lid is glued shut with Peer Review, Elsevier, h-indices, impact factors, arxiv moderation, jstor, loyalty oaths, DEI, deans, HR, etc to ensure no escape takes place.

I believe that since May 4th, 1969, there has been a move to relocate the open science (particularly physics/mathematics) on which National Security depends OUTSIDE universities because top professors are seen as subverting NatSec.

I believe that James Schlesinger will come up in this discussion and that the Mansfield amendment was completely misportrayed as a peacenik move. It was about soft sunsetting the brilliant but stubbornly independent professors like Leo Szilard, Steve Smale, Alexander Grothendieck, Phillip Morrison, Linus Pauling, etc

I believe that the attempt to do hard basic science in National Labs, Comoany Labs, Aerospace companies, Hedge funds, High security university affiliates (Draper, Lincoln, JH Applied Physics Lab, etc), think tanks, etc was NOT as successful as hoped.

I don’t believe that the Government cracked physics. At all.

I also believe there is some secret scientific knowledge kept from theorists in universities. I just don’t believe it is that much. But I’m more open to being wrong on that than 2 years ago. Still find it hard to believe.

I believe Jeffrey Epstein’s covert operation was trying to spy and recruit scientists based on the belief that certain areas of science when dark.

I believe Epstein’s puppeteers were obsessed with Gravity for good reason. They wanted to know if there was US secret scientific knowledge of post-Einsteinian, post-spacetime engineering. Which is wildly smart.

I believe the El Paso NOTAM wasn’t about Cartel Drones at all. I don’t think it was about Texas or the Border either. I believe it was another name for highly sensitive areas of New Mexico north of West Texas. Look at a map.

I believe we talk too much about Florida and Little St James. I believe New Mexico as home to Sandia, Zorro, Roswell, Los Alamos, Trinity, Bill Richardson, etc unites the UFO, Epstein and “Strange Death of Physics” Stories.

I believe @pmarca and @bhorowitz are truth tellers. That may even be the key.

I believe this is about disturbing secrets which people used to kill for, and this is going to be a LOT less ‘fun’ than people used to recreationally speculating about 👽 and UFOs imagine.

One of the annoying things they don't tell you about long term meditation is that it cranks up the sensitivity on your nervous system to be able to feel when someone is employing hooks in your attentional field & there's no way to talk about it without it sounding metaphysical
