  • Agreed, I tend to get more interested in topics and learn more than I expected, for new neural networks. I think it’s like any tool and using it right can be useful. Our brains can make new connections learning about different topics and how they are related, systems thinking and problem solving. We can search online and read the sources directly too, and verify more with increasing importance of the topic. For example, going to defend yourself in court, do a lot of research from quality sources and still reconsider lol. Just like large claims require large evidence, same idea for other resources including llms, and no need to avoid it like it’s some new Witch panic. The energy people use daily mindlessly absorbing video streams is more than text based llm use and follow up confirmations.

    Learning new things and recognizing connections between topics is beneficial for the brain, as it strengthens neural pathways and enhances understanding. This process, known as neuroplasticity, allows the brain to adapt and improve its ability to learn over time








  • If people answer the questions on policies and quality of life they want, the left-side platforms match with more things than not. Like healthcare, work/life balance and compensation. Improving both of those tends to improve productivity and innovation, people are more free, untied from bad jobs for insurance that you can still go bankrupt on. We want freedom and it’s available with enough time and majority to do it. Can’t swing back and forth and expect progress, that’s just a wrecking ball that destroys progress and then have to start over again. Support real progressives that want these for everyone.


  • This is tragic and the result of indoctrination, not understanding reality and lies spread as truth. Use higher thinking skills and Sagan’s baloney kit to see the quack “health advice” and how it adds up to billions spent on junk, rather than spending on real healthcare, higher quality foods and less junk. But nah, just stay in denial, numb with junk food and the tribal safety. Some people reach the stage that differing ideas can be valid, but don’t proceed to reach higher levels, to analyze and weigh proven data, to see what’s healthy vs what was indoctrination. It’s ok, help is out there to leave the unhealthy beliefs and join others that don’t have the conditional belonging of unhealthy systems.


  • All the economic issues are caused by him this time, the tariffs and war and lies and bs. So much money wasted and much of it to cause human suffering, it’s sick. Biden didn’t cause economic issues, and maga 2 was never going to help. Sadly too many people blindly try the other side, and no critical thinking about it, believe the propaganda and want to fit in their tribe so they keep doing what hurts many of them stuck in the scarcity and stress. This is history repeating itself, but they all said they don’t need to learn history, and they know and feel best so don’t tell them anything!





  • More wasted money, add it to the pile wasted on vanity projects, destruction, lawsuits, and to other wealthy creeps in on his grift. It has to be more wasted than his last time and anyone else. Rather than use tax revenue to help and improve ACA or anything that helps real people, voters chose this and all the money wasted to put people in concentration camps, and more wealthy getting rich off human suffering paid with our taxes. Hmm options, spend taxes to feed all students vs spend taxes to hurt immigrants and local economies. Usa chose the latter one way or another twice which shows the real values. Do better and stop falling for the propaganda.


  • Another horrible crime, and makes me question how people become abusive and controlling criminals, and research points to the theory of “cycle of shitty people”, punching down on others, taking their turn, and this is normalized as macho, but it’s toxic. The abuse in homes, military, sports, frats, politics, it’s all related. Yes, not all turn out abusive and help to break the dysfunctional cycle is needed. Some people will read this and let their egos flare up and insist the healthy ways are “woke”. They’ll vote for the violent types again, and their female loved ones are worse off for all this toxic pollution. This is not an excuse, but hurt people need therapy, healthy community and healthcare to recover.

    When someone becomes controlling or abusive, the clearest drivers are childhood maltreatment and witnessing violence between caregivers. Research using ACE (Adverse Childhood Experiences) scores shows a dose-response pattern: people with higher ACE counts face dramatically elevated odds of perpetrating violence later in life. These experiences normalize coercion, damage emotional regulation, and create insecure attachment. The pathway is learned behavior and cumulative trauma.



  • Q: How can Sagan, Tolle and Mustachianism help us live simpler lives, transcend the unhelpful ego ways and see that this is the only time we have to be conscious stardust, the cosmos looking at and learning about itself?

    Carl Sagan, Eckhart Tolle, and “Mr. Money Mustache” (Mustachianism) offer a powerful toolkit for simple living by combining cosmic perspective, presence, and financial independence. Together, they strip away the superficial anxieties of modern life, dismantling the ego by showing how small, yet profoundly significant our moment in the universe truly is.
