Quantum physics teaches us all observation necessarily changes that which is observed.

That before something is observed or measured, it's in an ambiguous probabilistic state.

That's why I believe observing the body from within can physically heal.

Try to drill down into the present moment and observe nanoseconds - your experience of time will slow down.

AI for treatment planning is going to be a big focus going forward - having the machine recommend pills, chemo schedules, surgery, and more. Most medical AI is used for diagnosis currently.

Autoencoders encode high dimensional signals like images to low dimensional latent space. Think compressing a 5 MB image into a 5 kb file.

The neural network tries to reconstruct the original from the lower dimensional embedding. Shannon entropy used to maximize compressed info.

The latent space can be any dimensions.

Variational autoencoders are a modification which adds the Kuber Leibreich distance to the loss function and passes the latent space through a Gaussian transformation.

This makes the latent space a normal distribution.

The beautify of them is you can take a dataset and create a smooth transformation between the latent space encodings.

What's the practical use case?

For my work, it's reverse image search.

Imagine you have a pic of a shirt, or tumor. Map it to the latent space.

Now you can find similar looking shirts, or similar looking tumors, to your query. You can sell similar shirts or diagnose a patient.

I always saw a different world emerging than what is on track to continue the momentum of today.

I saw giant towers with deep magical roots spreading throughout the land.

I saw epic glorious heroes scouring the land.

I saw technological marvels more than mere surveillance.

Is this a "fantasy"?

I'd say yes.

It's not very grounded in reality.

Is this imagination?

No.

Is this visionary? Not like the more practically minded visions of a base on Mars.

Is this delusional?

No.

Do I care about COVID and people's daily lives today?

No, not in the slightest.

I only wanted to connect to tomorrow's most powerful thinkers.

Yet I see everyone get absorbed into the hurricane of today's zeitgeist, the modern milieu.

I'm a delusional idiot, sure.

Maybe not.

We are but raindrops in a hurricane.

Sounds poetic, but what does it mean?

From the raindrop's perspective, it's entirely rational in reacting to it's immediate chaotic environment. Any talk of large scale trends would seem completely irrational and delusional to the raindrop.

But zoom out.

What do you see?

Giant spirals spanning thousands of miles.

Patterns that a raindrop would dismiss as silly and crazy.

Yet zoom out even further, in time this time.

Hurricanes tend to normalize climates.

The raindrop sees none of this.

From a raindrop's perspective, it's pure chaos.

Maybe the raindrop can conceive of some trends, but large scale, clearly defined spirals? Crazy.

I'm here to see the hurricane and make my own.

I will be the eye of the storm.

And even deeper, I am a black hole absorbing all.

I know, I know, the spiritualists say I'm not considering their silly demonic entities and tarot's and religious prophecies and Satanic cults and all their stupid takes.

The smart people shake their heads in disappointment at how childish I sound. Grounded men see me as larping.

I mean, you're all right.

I'm the crazy one.

Yet I'm actually quite smart.

I actually think I'll enact this world.

I think I have the skills to pull it off.

I know the collectivists think people are fungible.. but I'm not.

Regardless, my mission hasn't changed since 2014.

You "get behind" situations by observing your own body and the senses entering your mind in this present moment.

You "get behind" situations by seeing your thoughts on the situation enter your mind as if from a detached perch behind your mind.

Ignore society; focus on thoughts.

I love my family and friends so much.

Everyone in my life is a good hearted person doing the best they can with the info available.

Everyone in my life wants the best for each other and actively helps each other out.

Everyone in my life is bursting with support and strength.

Embrace The Chaos:

There's a technique I do where I close my eyes and let half-formed thoughts, images, words, ideas enter my mind.

I actively relax my mind and don't let them take me on a mental journey. I don't let any trains of thought form. I don't actively generate ideas. I don't let the sentences be completed.

Random garbled words, syllables, images of real things or memories or cartoonish fictions start swirling in.

I continue to relax my mind and merely observe.

The half-formed "mind stuff" starts coming faster and faster.

Eventually, clear subconscious insights emerge.

When half-formed phrases and mental images are actively not latched onto, they eventually reform as full sentences and clear visions.

I call this technique "Embrace The Chaos" and it's a great one to do before bed.

"Fast to Think Clear"


Body and mind are one.

Body is a gross part of the mind. Mind is a subtle part of the body.

How you feel in the body is how you will feel in the mind and the opposite.

If your gut is not clean, constipated or bloated, it's impossible for you to think clearly.

Energy flows upwards in human beings. If there are any blockages, the flow gets restricted. Which makes you foogy and stressed.

So, the easiest, simplest and the most efficient way to keep your gut clean and your mind supercharged is to FAST.

You can either fast for a day, drinking only water.

Or

Do intermittent fasting, in which you eat only between an 8 hours window (like from 10 to 6) and fast for 16 hours. Everyday.

This will help you:

- look better
- Healthy skin
- strong heart
- high metabolism
- improved blood flow
- better digestion
- better immunity


The benefits are endless. I've been following intermittent fasting for 4 years, and I've never had a bad stomach in this period.

It's not a miracle, it's your body's intelligence.

Digesting food takes enormous energy. And when you don't eat, the body uses that same energy to clean and heal.

Try it for a week.

Sundays are for journaling.

As a rule of thumb, be suspicious of whatever the government or media tells you to fear.

You'll know real fear if you look within your own soul.

External dangers exist, but acutely, in the present moment.

Grand, large-scale fears are often exaggerations at best, manipulations at worst.

Anyone who has tried to build functional algorithms would be hugely suspicious of climate models, due to how complex these systems are, and how bad we are at modeling complex phenomena.

Everyone here should without a doubt read this article in full by my friend Goldmund.

It's a boots on the ground description of how NYC denizens view the mandates.

How they're overwhelmingly supportive of the narrative.

How college kids are just shrugging and accepting swiping their vax pass QR codes to get inside buildings without a second's thought - no rebellion, no doubting the new normal, just shrugging and getting on with their day completely accepting it.

The terrified middle aged people who robotically repeat lines from the news.

No spark of soul, no doubt, no original thought in their head, no question they're "doing the right thing" and wanting more restrictions.

The workers who are "just doing their jobs".

The millions of people who applaud 5 year olds being required to get the injection to sit inside a pizza shop.

Cowards and conformists.

And not just a few - nearly all.

Read the article in full, especially the actual dialog.

I can personally attest this is startlingly, eerily accurate in describing the attitude of NYC these days.

Here it is:

If any accredited investors want to discuss my growing book & podcast summary app Iris (https://meetiris.app) then please DM me or comment (min investment $10k).

A lot of the summaries were written by yours truly.

The books and podcasts are only the very best, hand selected.

And we got a big instagram influencer marketing campaign underway.

The NYPD have begun ARRESTING THE VACCINE FREE.

The NYPD are now just vaccine enforcers for Big Pharma.

Escape from New York is no longer a movie.

This tyranny needs to stop!

Elect me to Congress, and I will build the FREEDOM COALITION to introduce legislation to ban mandates.

I have been uninvited from a friend's wedding for being unvaccinated.

To be expected.

Their loss, I'm super fun at weddings 😎🎊🕺

I honestly was surprised how many people I spoke to online decided to not get vaccinated during the pandemic.

I did not care what anyone did, and assumed I'd stand alone.

But it turns out we have a bit more in common than I thought?

I didn't select for this necessarily; I selected for courage.

And again I have nothing against those who did take the needle.

You do you, been saying that from the start.

Literally don't care.

But our common anti-authoritarian mentality I guess manifested in similar emergent decisions.

Every day I feel more and more proud and vindicated for my decision.

Maybe one day there will be a vaccine I'll take - I don't want to be a biased nut who can't change his mind with new data.

But that day isn't today.

I will always be anti-mandates, however.

#MyBodyMyChoice

Yet I have nothing for disdain for the nasty #prochoice abortion people who preached bodily autonomy when it was convenient for them yet didn't take up the cause when it came to the vaccine.

They disgust me.

This was an opportunity to rise above politics and focus on values.

Regardless, here I am.

I don't preach about it, but my friends and family had to make tougher choices than I did regarding whether they'd be around me.

I never had a tough choice.

It was always obvious which path I'd choose.

I don't have an end to this post because this is an unfolding situation.

All I know is that I'm touched by how much support I got online, proud of the wisdom of my choice, surprised by how many supposedly anti-fascists are fascist, and unrelenting in my values of freedom.

I will speak about Roman / Lyndon when the time is right. I'm waiting to see how the mainstream media addresses this first. I need to understand everyone's frames first, see the manipulations before I share things. We'll see.

A Viral Chronology:

I remember in mid January 2020, a few of my most interesting mutual Twitter followers shared some early info about a virus that "could be the real deal" before it was widely known.

Let us marvel at the fact that we learned about things at the same time as the heads of state. We saw the framing early.

Back then, "prophet Twitter" with its extreme panic (intelligence tends towards paranoia) screeched about how this could be a plague wiping humans out.

They were wrong about its severity but correct about its far reaching impact and called its widespread reach.

Lesson in there?

They were panicked and telling everyone to mask up now!

And those who didn't take it seriously were laughing at them.

Over time, they switched and they were early with taking OFF the masks.

I was part of the group that immediately saw how governments would use this for power.

Let's be honest - for all we knew, this could have been as bad as the black plague which wiped out a third of the population.

People dying in the streets, emergency rooms ACTUALLY overflowing (not making TikTok videos). Sadness.

People died, but would they have died regardless?

To me, it doesn't matter.

I still have disagreements with my family because in 2020 I said they'd push a vaccine and I wouldn't take it.

I said this without seeing the data - admittedly not a smart thing.

I just saw how this would be used to remove rights.

I wouldn't partake.

Here we are, 2022 around the corner.

Nobody wants to get really sick.

Nobody wants to be the statistic that ends up having a bad reaction to either the virus or a vaccine.

An ongoing, unfolding situation.

But let's learn from what "prophet Twitter" was right and wrong about.

There was a time in mid-Feb 2020 when we were all briefly united against humanity's natural enemy: microscopic pathogens.

I was happy.

I remember a moment in late Feb 2020 when the first articles popped up on how the virus would affect "people of color" more.

Nasty politics.

Those people have to make EVERYTHING about race.

That. Is. Racist.

I want them to hang.

But that's my biased human brain talking.

In truth, a corruption of politics, a fracturing, was inevitable.

After that they made everything about race. Felt like heroes. Unworthy cretins.

We all locked down in Spring 2020.

The toilet paper shortage reminded me of the book Prometheus Rising, starting with our most base instincts: pooping.

In NYC, I remember the first groups that broke quarantine did it because of George Floyd and all the protests in June 2020.

It's no surprise that after we dealt with primal needs (toilet paper) we went into social needs (racism, etc.) And the most grassroots people had the most courage to break quarantine. No hating on that. They weren't scared of crowds. Courageous fighting for what they believed in.

There was also a brief moment when social media didn't know if this would affect the electrical grid.

Forget food supply chains, the hive mind wanted to know if the Internet's electricity was at risk.

The survival instinct of the hive mind.

Anyway, here we are.

The narrative is fracturing and the propaganda is being called out.

Fuck all the nasty people who made this about politics.

Fuck all the propagandists who pretended to know it all.

Fuck everyone who told me to get vaxxed last summer.

I move on and lead.

So many fractured, distinct personalities swirling around in one head.

You're a different person around different people, different sides of you come out at a dive bar, at a fancy dinner, at work, at home relaxing, at the gym, while learning, as you create, listening to music, and a thousand other situations.

Can you really say you have one personality?

Is there an integrated whole behind, or in front of, the masks we put on for the world?

Perhaps even the genuine version of yourself is a mere mask.

If you strip it all away, the philosophers say there's mere void, a no-self, a delusional illusion of an ego.

Psychedelics apparently strip it all away, but is that even the deepest experience? Can grief touch on it?

Is there a consolidation of them all, waiting to feel integrated and whole, a holistic mold upon which all external layers transform?

These are important questions as you ask yourself which version of you is reading this very message.

Glimpses of clarity drive your subconscious decisions, forever chasing the calmly focused joyous feelings you have but merely touched upon in rare moments.
