A peer-reviewed paper published last year in the journal Bioethics by two professors at Western Michigan University School of Medicine argues that it is "morally obligatory" to genetically engineer ticks to spread alpha-gal syndrome, a permanent condition that makes you violently allergic to red meat.
The paper is called "Beneficial Bloodsucking."
Their argument: if eating meat is morally wrong, then preventing the spread of a disease that forces people to stop eating meat is also morally wrong. Scientists should gene-edit lone star ticks to enhance their ability to carry alpha-gal syndrome and expand their range into urban environments to infect more people.
They call this a "moral bioenhancer." They frame releasing genetically modified disease-carrying ticks as a "vaccination" that only "infringes" on your bodily autonomy rather than "violating" it. The distinction, apparently, is that a tick bit you instead of a government official holding you down.
Alpha-gal syndrome is not mild. The CDC estimates up to 450,000 Americans are already affected. Cases have surged 100-fold in the last decade. Symptoms include anaphylaxis. There is no cure.
Alpha-gal cases are exploding across the United States. The lone star tick's range is expanding far beyond its historical territory. And two academics at a medical school published a paper arguing this is a good thing that should be accelerated.
At what point do we stop treating papers like this as fringe academic exercises and start asking whether anyone is already acting on them?
Rents have gone up 15% in the last year, food prices are nearly double what they were 2 years ago, gas prices have doubled in 12 months, Childcare is now $1600 a month in the states. Inflation is WAY higher than just 3.8% my friend. Why are these people so intent on lying?
We declare 2026 the Year of Privacy.
Our fight is against the hijacking of tech to strip away privacy & dignity.
We assert our right to live without the oppressive gaze of surveillance.
This coming year, many more will join our fight.
Let's go.

Lately, I've been seeing a lot of charts like this, claiming that Bitcoin's correlation to global M2 is "broken."
But what really happened was that people were just overfitting it.
They took a broad macro relationship and tried to force it into a precise timing model. 🧵
The DOJ now claims non-custodial software “transfers funds,” arguing it’s “factually wrong and irrelevant” that users execute their own transactions, a stance that leaves every developer exposed until Congress steps in.
