"Linear time seems so impractical a state of being. To learn is a tediously slow process, and with each generation it begins anew. A laborious cycle of empty promise. It banishes mankind to the torment of ignorance; forever a child in the dark.
How curious that nature could punish a creature so malevolently. You are condemned to relearn pain for an eternity. How painful it must be to possess self awareness and consciousness as you do. Trapped in a lower dimension such as you are.
We do not understand decision. We exist in one single moment. Therefore causality, probability and consequence are a mystery to us. If man's experience of time was like ours, would he remain? Would he remain? Would he remain?"

Clinical trials for statins often include a “run-in phase” that excludes patients who develop side effects before the real study begins.
The drug is then tested on a population more likely to tolerate it, making it appear safer than it actually is.

From a Case Record of the Massachusetts General Hospital published March 13, 1969:
A seventy-year-old man was admitted to the hospital because of weakness and a cough.
Thirty years previously, because of pulmonary tuberculosis, he spent three years in a sanatorium. Twenty years before entry a pneumothorax was performed. Isoniazid therapy was begun five years later and continued for eight years. During the five years before entry he remained in a nursing home, where he took no medication. During the year before admission he lost 15 pounds in weight. Three weeks before entry a cough productive of small amounts of sputum developed, without hemoptysis or pleurisy. The urinary output decreased, and he experienced mild thirst and malaise. During the three days before entry he became increasingly weak. He had had no hypertension, recent fever, hematuria or renal stones, and there had been no symptoms suggestive of urinary-tract obstruction.
On admission the patient was thin. Examination of the optic fundi showed mild narrowing of the arterioles, without hemorrhages or exudates. The neck was supple, the cervical pulses were normal, and the thyroid gland was not enlarged. The diaphragmatic leaves were low, and wheezes and rales were audible throughout the lung fields. The point of maximum cardiac impulse could not be felt; a Grade 3, high-pitched systolic ejection murmur at the xiphisternum and a Grade 2 rumble were audible; a pericardial friction rub was not heard. The edge of the liver, which was nontender, was felt 4 fingerbreadths below the right costal margin; the estimated length of the liver was 9 cm. The tip of the spleen was palpable at the left costal margin. The pulses were normal. The prostate gland was normal. Neurologic examination was negative.

The events of the past few days are nothing short of historic. The boldness of President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu is putting an end to the real and present danger of a nuclear armed Iranian regime.
Since 1979, this regime has waged war on the West. It has murdered US soldiers, brutally attacked our people in Israel on October 7th, and taken our citizens hostage. In turn, its proxies have held their own countries hostage while committing war crimes by targeting civilian areas.
Israel and America have taken the fight to the enemy in a partnership of true allies. In fact, Israel is the only true-and effective-friend of the US the world, as we have seen and heard.
The dictator is gone, the missiles are being destroyed, and the nuclear program lays buried in rubble.
Iran will soon be free. For the day after, I have no doubt that Iran will return to its former role as a regional powerhouse. Persian ingenuity together with Western investment will lead to a booming economy, and I look forward to investing in that future.
I thank all the American and Israeli servicemen and servicewomen who have put themselves in harm's way so that the rest of us can be safe. We owe you a tremendous debt of gratitude.
God bless America. God bless Israel. And God bless a free Iran.

R to @usrtk: Afaik there is no US law stopping any capable scientist from enhancing novel SARS and MERS-like viruses outside of high containment.
No law prohibits the sale of reagents for this work.
And, if the results are novel, there's nothing stopping top journals from publishing it.

This is the second time in 2 weeks that @JonHaidt has called to get Ed Tech out of classrooms by September:
"I hope that many elementary schools will remove devices by Sept., or create an analog path for parents who want that. Let's see if kids do better with books and paper"
Haidt drove the cell phone ban legislation. What are the odds his words carry in a similar fashion?
Are we doing enough to signal this shift to districts?

Victoria had an inquest, that was so bad, the courts had to grant her family a new one.
The first police inquiry was so bad her family were granted a new one.
The second inquiry was held up because the police needed her diary as evidence, it was found in a Council office safe.
The Council made the police use the law to get it released, it took them a year to get it, during all of this time the rapists walked free.

Massive progress on the Human Synapse Decoder!
We now are using NeuroSkill AI!
We’re on the cusp of something absolutely mind-blowing a fusion of cutting-edge AI and human neuroscience that’s about to shatter the boundaries between our brains and machines.
A new paper called on NeuroSkill is a groundbreaking real-time proactive agentic system straight out of MIT, and how it dovetails perfectly with my work on the Human Synapse Decoder (HSD).
This is the dawn of decoding the human soul, turning fleeting thoughts into actionable genius, and supercharging creativity.
NeuroSkill by MIT researchers is a proactive AI agent system that doesn’t just react: it anticipates and models your cognitive and emotional state in real time.
How? By seamlessly integrating Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) signals, like those from EEG sensors, with a powerful foundation models.
It turns the chaotic symphony of your brainwaves into a structured, machine-readable format called SKILL.md.
Agents can query this via APIs or CLI, essentially turning your “state of mind” into a dashboard for AI to peek into.
YES THIS MUDT BE LOCAL AND SECURE. Please don’t play out the Claw security disasters.
Imagine AI not just answering questions but sensing when you’re in a creative flow, frustrated, or dreaming up breakthroughs, then jumping in to assist proactively.
The architecture includes clever components like real-time signal processing from BCI data, embedding it with text models for a holistic human model.
Results from early tests show it enhances engagement in tasks like learning or problem-solving, with applications in education, therapy, and even military focus training.
It’s wild, AI that’s empathetic, anticipatory, and embedded in your neural world.
Our Human Synapse Decoder is the is a development the of Zero-Human Labs, I’ve hacked together NeuroSky EEG sensors from old Mindflex games into a multi-channel powerhouse.
HSD captures brainwave patterns during hypnagogic states (that magical twilight between wakefulness and sleep where Einstein and Dali drew their inspirations), dreams, and autogenic responses (self-induced relaxation techniques rooted in Soviet biofeedback research from the 1940s-80s).
Using my ZUNA AI model, it decodes these signals into text interpretations, productivity scores, and timed alerts – like waking you at the peak of a hypnagogic burst to jot down breakthrough ideas.
I’m running double-blind studies (mediated by Mr. @Grok!) with voice recordings post-wake to validate the decodings. I’ve even ganged up 32+ channels for 11x better resolution, pushing these chips beyond their toy origins to decode dreams into coherent narratives.
The excitement? It’s tapping into untapped human creativity, solving problems with “unknown tools and data points,” and potentially accessing a “greater mind.”
I also use Datasets like Neuraxon 2.0 for hybrid training.
Linking NeuroSkill to the HSD creates a symbiotic powerhouse! NeuroSkill’s proactive modeling is the perfect brain for HSD’s EEG capture.
My work on autogenic and hypnagogic decoding aligns flawlessly with NeuroSkill’s focus on cognitive states – both draw from BCI-AI integration, but HSD adds affordable, non-invasive hardware with roots in declassified Soviet tech for biofeedback and magnetic pulse enhancements.
Together, they could revolutionize how we harness the mind: HSD as the sensor frontend, NeuroSkill as the intelligent backend.
The implications? Therapy for stress, amplified invention, even decentralized AGI that “feels” human intuition.
VC interest is skyrocketing, and my path to commercialization means this could be in your hands soon.
So, how will it work? Let’s break it down step-by-step in this electrifying hybrid system:
