One of the core tenets of the Dune universe is that Reverend Mothers, and Paul and God Emperor, got shown and thus burdened with the memories of countless past generations of ancestors.
But beyond just talking about the “pain and sorrows of centuries”, what would actually be imparted that would be so bad?
Well, countless murders, rapes, torturing. Cruelty, betrayal, savagery. Needless death of children, babies, burning families alive, whatever psychopaths have ever done.
How many could handle that, and how many would have the ability to withstand that and maintain their sanity? (One of the core themes of Dune is that the messiah was the first male to survive the accepting of ancestral memories, dealing with the cruelty of men and women).

One of my favorite uses of LLM’s such as ChatGPT is to just ask it to explain a topic from scratch, like how a radio works and how I’d build one from scratch in an apocalypse. I’m learning about homemade diodes via aluminum foil, I’m learning how to tune it to a radio station based on how many loops I wind a copper wire around a cylinder, and I’m getting back into some EM physics! As all these new tech tools come out, don’t just ask it to write a formal email for you and then go back to your life… that’s how you fall behind. Instead, actively use it to expand your mind.
Saying no to the covid vaccine circa 2021-2022 was the hard choice. Saying yes was the easy choice going along with the crowd.
Hmm, let’s see what comes out four+ years later and reflect back on our own decision-making process.
I have no regrets saying no; do you?

““For many Americans we simply do not know the answer as to whether or not they should be getting the seventh or eighth or ninth or tenth COVID-19 booster,” said Prasad, who joined the FDA earlier this month.”
Fuck all these people. Anyone who is advocating people potentially getting a tenth COVID booster shot are retarded.
The truth will out.

Does the mating of a 100 IQ parent and a 130 IQ parent result in a 115 IQ child on average?
Has this ever actually been specifically scientifically studied?
As in, take a hundred thousand children and measure the average IQ compared to the parents’ IQ? Get the mean, see if it goes in the middle…

I think IQ is trainable.
Measure my IQ today,
Then measure my IQ after spending forty hours per week for six months relentless drilling IQ problems like a Tiger Mom would be proud of.. and watch how drastically I, or anyone who would do this experiment, would drastically improve at solving IQ test problems.
You can’t tell me that IQ is genetically fixed and that rigorously practicing IQ test problems for thousands of hours wouldn’t boost your score…

One day in the not-so-distant future, nothing will be more important than figuring out how to engineer opening a functioning wormhole.

How does any politician justify with a straight face the fact that a state gets more seats in the House of Representatives if they have more illegal immigrants in their state since the representatives are counted based on population not just citizens? It seems like a glaring loophole that nobody on the left has ever actually justified. They have just kept it going.
Instead of saying whether the government should be bigger or smaller, more people should be opining on what the government should actually be spending money on and in what proportions. There’s always going to be tax collected. Might as well figure out the optimal way to spend it for the welfare of all citizens.
