The world as we knew it has disintegrated. Every tool we reach for — science, strategy, politics, even spirituality — was designed for a reality that is no longer here. So now what?

History will show that no one did more to promote left-wing ideas than Donald Trump, and no one did more to advance the Palestinian cause than Benjamin Netanyahu.

I think longevity-maxxers like @bryan_johnson are optimizing for the wrong metric when they optimize simply for total years lived.
You can actually already 10x your experienced life right now by 10xing the amount of Moments-Per-Second (MPS) you experience.
And you can further 10x your high-quality-moments (HQM) experienced over a lifetime by learning how to experience a wider range of experiences (esp. ostensibly "boring" or painful ones) as beautiful / pleasurable / meaningful.
Simply by learning how to experience 10x more Moments-Per-Second and experience 10x more moments as High-Quality-Moments, you can 100x you High-Quality-Moments-Per-Lifetime (HQMPL), which I think is a much more valuable metric than simply total years lived.
And you can probably achieve this 100x in HQMPL simply by carving out no more than 1-2 hours a day of meditation over a lifetime.
On this metric, ~1-2 hours a day of meditation returns ~8000 equivalent-years of HQMPL.
Not a bad return on investment.
But even 20-30 mins a day over a lifetime will output more than enough HQMPL to make it well worth it.
Meditation is by far the best anti-ageing technology in terms of the type of anti-ageing that matters.
Not because it makes you relaxed.
But because it peels away all the perceptual filters we added since children that make most adults feel old.
Meditate enough and the world regains all the vivid mystery of childhood.
But this time with the wisdom of age.
Oh dear, passwords don’t seem to work any more, who would have thunk?
Oh, the complacency of large internet services wrt clear security concerns, the length of time outdated authentication mechanisms continued to be employed, and the pragmatic view on part of these companies that a small percentage of hacked accounts doesn’t hurt their business…
Well guess the f@k what, people. A small percentage of hacked accounts is now a full-on cyberpocalypse, and the time to upgrade authentication models was 5 years ago.
I can’t tell you how many people I’ve had this conversation with in 2020 and 2021. All I got was shrugs.
OTP bombing. Watch out.
Lyft, Uber, Amazon, Cash App, and potentially dozens of other services all seem to be affected.
There appears to be a coordinated cyber campaign triggering simultaneous password-reset and verification-code requests across multiple apps on iPhone and Android.
The simultaneous nature of these requests raises questions about automated account-recovery abuse and coordinated authentication flooding.
Whether this reflects a new capability or the large-scale deployment of existing techniques remains unclear.
Beware. Do not approve unsolicited requests or share verification codes.
This in the middle of the AI cyberpocalypse:
I will hand all my most sensitive data to AI because AI will steal it anyway. At least I’ll be on the right side of history.
I trust Grok Bot with ALL my finances.
Now, all 5 of my credit cards are saved in the vault.
People think I’m crazy to do so... but if you think about it, people hand their credit card to a random waiter all the time and watch it disappear into the back.
For me, I'd rather have mine secured by the smartest AI in the world.
This is why I do it.
1/ One text to buy anything. I bought my kids 2 Garmin watches, a DribbleUp smart ball and an Ollyball without ever opening a website.
2/ Flights and hotels booked for me. No digging for a card, no typing numbers into 6 checkout pages.
3/ Amazon orders handled with one text.
4/ I just say "put it on the United card" or "use the Apple Card" and it does.
FYI the bot never sees the full number or the security code. It securely remembers them, and I specifically approve what gets bought.
Once, you add your cards once, you’ll never have to pull out your wallet again.
This is how everyone is going to live soon imo.

Today I'm making a contribution to the AI-agent-focused open source community: git-viewspace, a way for multiple agents to share the same git repository cheaply. (Link in comments)
When several AI agents work on the same codebase, giving each one a separate clone is straightforward—but it duplicates data and leaves you coordinating branches, commits, and integration yourself.
Git Viewspace takes a different approach: independent lightweight working directories (views) backed by one shared Git repository.
Each agent gets its own view of a specific commit, using virtual file system drivers, one of which creates a private writable layer for its changes. Unchanged files are read directly from Git through a shared filesystem backend, rather than copied into every workspace. A coordinating daemon manages view lifecycles and serializes publication operations, so agents don’t race against the same Git index. A view takes under 0.5 seconds to create, and uses up minimal disk space even for large repositories. You can have literally hundreds of these with minimal overhead.
The result is a foundation for parallel agent workflows with explicit boundaries:
- Independent edits and branches for each agent.
- Shared repository storage and decoded-content caching.
- Explicit commit, merge, and snapshot-update operations.
- Machine-readable status and command results.
- Recovery handling for interrupted filesystem operations.
- Support for explicitly prepared, pinned submodules.
Git Viewspace is not an agent framework, task scheduler, or security sandbox. It doesn’t decide which agent should do what, and it doesn’t make conflicting changes disappear. It provides the filesystem and Git coordination layer underneath those decisions.
The implementation uses Python, Linux FUSE, and OverlayFS. Version 0.1.0 ships as one installable package, with documentation, regression tests, and real-mount lifecycle and recovery checks.
Licensed under Apache-2.0 through Adapt Framework Solutions.
If you’re building systems where multiple agents collaborate on a repository, I’d welcome feedback—particularly on integration workflows, operational simplicity, and what you’d need before adopting it yourself.

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.
English: what are your pronouns?
Russian: what are your pronouns and 63 modifier endings, as well as six past tense verb endings?
Hungarian: We have no gendered constructs whatsoever. If this somehow motivates you, good luck and Godspeed.

Personally? Oh man.
This is just a tweak on Peter’s question which most of you know:
“What is something you feel is good and needs to be done, but on which almost no institution agrees with you and will fight to destroy you with their full force at a deeply personal level?”
Where to begin??
Undermining faith in Anthony Fauci’s and Francis Collins’ scientific behavior during a pandemic.
Calling attention to the fact that the president of the United States with launch code responsibility was obviously demented during his presidency.
Opposing high levels of immigration for completley non-xenophobic reasons.
Openly discussing asymmetries in patterns of religious martyrdom attacks.
Fighting the loss of the word “Genocide” via coordinated social campaigns.
Pointing out that the history of Peer Review is retconned and fictitious and obviously false.
Fighting irreversible surgeries pushed on children leading to a reproductive holocaust.
Calling for an end to Diverisity-Equity-Inclusion and opposing “Black Lives Matter”, despite their branding genius, even during the Summer of Floyd.
Pointing out that conspiracies are well documented and ubiquitous and fighting for responsible conspiracy theorizing.
Promoting my own technical work and insisting that scientists get paid handsomely.
Etc. Etc.
You’re asking the wrong person. It seems I stand up for what I believe is deeply good and what is misperceived as evil all day, every day. This has stupidly become close to my whole life at times. I’m so bored by how silent everyone is. I can’t fathom it. “Managed Reality” has turned evil.
Something is pushing pure evil, disguised as “good” down our throats 24/7 via the institutions. And almost everyone puts up with it. I do not.
But: Thanks for the question.
A great one!
