Philosophy

Back in 2019, I did an interview with the geneticist and author J.F Gariépy on the topic of transhumanism and the book he wrote about the coming phenotypic revolution. Around the same time I read JF's book, I also read At Our Wits' End about the decline of intelligence and what that means for the future. The two books paint a dreary picture of the world to come; that all these dysgenic forces are driving down intelligence across civilization and that we'll end up totally enslaved to our own creation - technology.

Listening back to the interview I realized I am a lot more white-pilled (optimistic) about the future now than I was then. I'm, no doubt, in the minority - given what's gone on in the world in this decade - most people have become less optimistic about the future. I'll make the case for being an optimistic accelerationist and lend you something in real short supply these days - hope.

Antibiotic resistance, another front in Iatrogenic medicine's losing war on disease.

Superbugs is a well-written deep-dive into the fascinating history of antibiotics and a glimpse into the frontline struggle of doctors and scientists versus some seriously nasty strains of infectious bacteria and fungus. The book is written by Dr. Matt McCarthy, a staff physician at New York Presbyterian Hospital.

Sorry guys and gals, this is another doom and gloom book review! Lately, I've been reviewing some books about the very troubling and very real threats to your life and well-being perpetuated by Iatrogenic mainstream medicine and bad science. Taking these red pills about the monstrous betrayals of humanity committed by the institutions of sciences and medicine can be depressing but the antidepressant is action, in this book review we'll include some evidence-backed biohacks that you can and should implement to fortify yourself against this world rife with microscopic villains.

I'll indulge in a bit of petty gossip for the edifying purpose of illustrating some pragmatic points about personal antifragility philosophy.

Dr. Andrew Huberman gets a lot of things right when it comes to applying antifragility philosophy but he got at least one thing very wrong.

Huberman rose meteorically as a health guru/influencer/podcaster a few years ago. He became very popular, very quickly which baffled me a bit because he's not particularly charismatic. His content - which is not bad but also not particularly original, clickbaity, or innovative - you can find in the recommended or trending section of nearly every major social media content platform. Every episode he introduces his show as "zero-cost to the public education" on health and science which is a clever way of framing up the century-old, listeners-time-wasting, interruptive mid-roll ad-supported business model which I'm sure has made him very rich in the last couple of years.
He's certainly a knowledgable polymath Biohacker, who does a decent job of communicating science, but there are a lot of good health podcasters out there, I wasn't sure why he became an overnight celebrity in my field.

Book Review: A fictional thought experiment about right-wing political violence

The novel is placed in a just barely hypothetical future America descending into leftist anarcho-tyranny.

The premise of the novel is black-pilled, reaching the pessimistic conclusion that political violence is the only way of retaking the USA from the communists, socialists, and psychopaths that have subverted and dominated the institutions of big tech, government, media, and academia.

A critique of Sex at Dawn and faux-edgy non-monogamy

In this podcast interview, Christopher Ryan and Aubrey Marcus joke about being called cucks. This four-letter word that is so cavalierly thrown about on the internet has layers of depth and nuance. I’ll explain why many men call them cucks and why it’s a deservedly derogatory term.

They are discussing a book that Christopher Ryan wrote, Sex at Dawn about how humans are naturally promiscuous and non-monogamous. It has a pretty obvious message humans are animals and we like to fuck. We naturally want to maximize hedonism, minimize effort, enjoy novelty and we tend to be promiscuous.

In this podcast, I discuss the seemingly contradictory Christian Transhumanist movement with Lincoln Cannon, Technologist, Biohacker, Thinker, and CEO of Thrivous, along with being the founder of Transfigurism and ChristianTranshumanism.org. I explain why I'm a reluctant Transhumanist and a pragmatic Christian.

We read and discuss the controversial philosophical new article by Biohacker and maniacal Transhumanist Serge Faguet, People who make bad health choices f**k everyone else. Regulate them like polluting factories.

Perhaps you remember about a decade ago the impending apocalypse du jour was that all of our honey bees were dying for some mysterious reason and that we would all be screwed because a bunch of the things we eat are pollinated by honey bees.

There were a couple of very alarming documentaries made about this - after watching them, probably like yourself, I walked around for a couple of days pretty worried about the honey bees.

Vimeo Plus Review: No Free Speech. Not Even For Paying Customers

The Vimeo Plus account that I paid for was just disabled without warning, email notification, strikes, or any cogent explanation. I create high-quality content about health, supplements, mindset, and philosophy; none of my content is very political or could be construed as hate speech, violent, or discriminatory.

In this episode, we discuss a Limitless (yet uncommon) character quality and a very brave World War II officer who practiced it valiantly.
