Today, Herasight Pets comes out of stealth. Polygenic embryo selection for companion animals is here.
Now you can boost your dog's Good Boy Index (GBI), increase your gold fish’s color vibrancy and make your hamster rounder. One dog can already solve basic math problems 🧵
@ScottAdamsSays@joelpollak Been a fan for >10 years starting with your take on Trump's persuasion skills. During 2020 in particular, CWSA was a part of my daily routine. You were a phenomenal voice making sense of covid, the rioting / race radicalism, and all that followed. I'll miss you ❤️🙏

Today parents can, for the first time, access polygenic embryo testing for IQ and many diseases through a routine test (PGT-A) done worldwide and in 60% of US IVF cycles.
Read on to learn how Herasight’s ImputePGTA algorithm is enabling polygenic testing in IVF to go global. 🧵
Today we reveal CogPGT, the world’s most powerful genetic predictor of IQ.
We achieve a correlation with IQ of 0.51 (0.45 within-family). Herasight customers can boost the expected IQ of their children by up to 9 points by selecting the embryo with the highest CogPGT score. 🧵
1/ Today we launch an ambitious paper on the ethics of embryo screening. While the technology is new, our hopes and fears about our future children are as old as the Greek myths, including stories about Hera, goddess of fertility and the namesake of our company @herasight
Charlie Kirk would have been president. His friends knew it. His admirers knew it. And his enemies knew it.
This universal confidence in Charlie’s future began with his countless political accomplishments. At 18, he founded Turning Point USA, which went on to become the most important cultural organization on the American Right. By 22, he was addressing the Republican National Convention. Three years later, he founded Turning Point Action, which led the get-out-the-vote efforts that delivered the first Republican popular vote victory in twenty years. In his spare time, Charlie published five books, hosted a national talk show, married a lovely wife, and fathered two beautiful children. All of that by 31.
Charlie’s appearance inspired as much confidence as his accomplishments. At a towering six-foot-five slouching, he joked that he had descended from the Nephilim—the giant “fallen ones” of the Old Testament. He might have been born with such a nature, as are we all, but he was not content to remain so. Charlie loved his Savior. The zeal with which he debated politics paled in comparison to the excitement with which he discussed religion. And his religious life bore fruit.
Turning Point launched a Faith division to focus specifically on his followers’ souls. There too, Charlie’s enthusiasm for open debate set the tone, as he invited atheists and even Catholics to take part. But he didn’t need a specific religious conference to convey his faith. Charlie Kirk’s religion bore fruit in everything he did.
Discerning observers believed in Charlie Kirk, not chiefly for his accolades or his appearance, but for his manifest virtue. Charlie’s prudence, the principal virtue in politics, built a generational coalition that helped to transform the American government. His temperance distinguished him as one of the few on the Right to eschew whisky, cigars, and every other delight that might have distracted him from his purpose, for which he had so little time. His sense of justice produced clarity in moral vision and grace for his opponents. His fortitude impelled him to enter the public square without a hint of servile fear.
Charlie’s only fear was the holy sort—awe and wonder, the beginning of wisdom—and his clearest virtues were theological: faith, hope, and charity. We mourn his death, we take up his cause, and we entrust him, as he confidently entrusted himself, to God’s care.
Assassination culture is spreading on the left. Forty-eight percent of liberals say it would be at least somewhat justified to murder Elon Musk. Fifty-five percent said the same about Donald Trump.
In California, activists are naming ballot measures after Luigi Mangione.
The left is being whipped into a violent frenzy. Any setback, whether losing an election or losing a court case, justifies a maximally violent response.
This is the natural outgrowth of left-wing protest culture tolerating violence and mayhem for years on end. The cowardice of local prosecutors and school officials have turned the left into a ticking time bomb.

PSA: Aleo is *the only* ZK platform to support on-chain dark pools TODAY.
Bro thinks he’s *the* expert when *we* (@matthew_d_green@secparam@zkproofs & yours truly) literally invented private smart contracts (ZEXE) in 2019.
We even wrote private DEXs as THE application, and launched THE L1 for dark pools & private stablecoins.
Sauce? Read pg. 32 for yourself:

1) For the first time, an autonomous drone defeated the top human pilots in an international drone racing competition
2) Drones are now ***70%*** of battlefield casualties in the Ukraine war
Tick. Tock.
@NickJFuentes Even if Trump got $500B for wall / deportations, I think the odds are he'd continue to be thwarted by judicial activism, hostile press, etc. I'd prefer to see the beast starved, particularly targeting services that support illegal aliens.
We’ve seen how censorship starts and they always start with demonetizing certain people
Then it leads to censored posts and then bans
We get demonetizing somebody so they can’t make money on their crazy ass posts, but taking away somebodies private subscribers is messed up
It’s like being debanked and if X is trying to be the best app then taking away a users personal subscribers ain’t the way
ChatGPT refuses to say the name “David Mayer,” and no one knows why.
If you try to get it to write the name, the chat immediately ends.
People have attempted all sorts of things - ciphers, riddles, tricks - and nothing works.
@jakeshieldsajj Curious what year this is from? I listened to him on Shawn Ryan and they don't his this topic on the nose, but he does describe himself as a "recovering neocon" who bought into the jingoist ME wars in the mid 00s (along with Shawn). Lot of people fall in that camp.
