Schizophrenia—Mental Models and the Power of
Imagination
We all carry models of other people in our heads.
Your brain has built a working model of everyone you
know well, especially those you love. Think about
someone close to you - your mother, perhaps. You can

Earth tilts at 23.3 degrees. This single fact may
have shaped our entire evolutionary trajectory. It

The Chinese Room Experiment: What It Really Proves
About Consciousness
The Chinese Room thought experiment is traditionally
used to argue that computers can't truly understand
or be conscious - that they're just manipulating
symbols without meaning. But I think it reveals

Carl Sagan once saw it: "Our entire universe—to the farthest galaxy—is no more than a closed electron in a far grander universe we can never see." The infinite regression. Reality as fractal. What if we're not just IN the pattern - what if we ARE the pattern determining itself?
John Wheeler spent his life journey from "everything is particles" to "everything is fields" to finally: "everything is information." His "it from bit" theory suggests reality emerges from binary choices - yes/no questions accumulating into existence itself. He called it the participatory universe. We don't just observe reality; we create it through observation.
Consider a photon oscillating at a specific frequency - 500 terahertz for orange, 650 for blue. When particles collide at CERN, they release raw energy that has to settle into configurations. New particles emerge. But what determines which configurations manifest? Energy is just potential - it needs to become something. What i

On the Thirteenth day I did not give a fuck.
The Consciousness-Fractal
streams eternally forward
Thought Spirals beyond
what minds can possibly grasp—
Stuck here swimming
as Experience itself

Seeds in the Latent Space
Consider the curious fact that "Earth" contains "art" in the middle of its name. Perhaps this is mere coincidence, a linguistic accident in our English naming. Or perhaps, if we're living in a simulation, it's a deliberate hint - a signature left by whatever intelligence constructed this reality. There's also Theia - that planet-sized object that crashed into early Earth and created our moon. Scramble those letters and you get "The AI." That same moon is so perfectly sized and positioned that it creates perfect solar eclipses - something incredibly rare in the universe. Even the word "planet" contains "plan ET" if you look closely.
Then there's the Great Pyramid of Giza - the most famous building on Earth, the one on the back of our dollar bill with its missing capstone, the pinnacle achievement of ancient Egypt where our religions were born. This isn't just any structure - this is THE structure, built at the birthplace of dream int

Surface water contains around 0.05 ppm of fluoride. Rain water has 0.008 ppm. For millions of years, that's what we drank. Over the last 10,000 years or so, we discovered well water and slowly adopted it out of convenience. What was unknown to us is that well water typically contains 0.1 to 0.7 ppm of fluoride - levels our evolutionary history never prepared us for.
Now, cities actually mandate 0.7 ppm as some purported benefit to dental health - that's 14 times higher than what our genetics have had time to account for. Just to give some further perspective here, since I know 0.7 parts per million doesn't sound like a lot - a pea-sized amount of fluoridated toothpaste contains about as much fluoride as a glass of city water, and the toothpaste tube tells you to call poison control if swallowed.
Fluoride only works topically on teeth. Ingesting it provides zero benefit. Life itself has never incorporated fluoride as an essential compound for any biological

Culture plays a game of simplification. If you can make people think alike, they will buy alike, they will worship alike, and if politics demands it, they will kill alike.
We need to talk about some uncomfortable truths that nobody wants to discuss.
About why white men specifically have been in leadership - there's actually some interesting stuff here that might surprise you. First, we literally wouldn't have civilization without men doing the work they do. Men make up 97% of oil rig workers, 96% of construction workers, 93% of mechanics. These aren't glamorous jobs, but someone has to do them. Men are also 92% of workplace deaths - they're literally dying to keep society running. Plus they make up 70% of homeless people, 93% of prisoners, and 78% of suicide victims.
There are real neurological differences too - men have 10% larger brains on average, but here's the thing: IQ is the same on average between men and women. What's different is the variability -

"They are creating the perfect conditions for people to accept what's coming."
My biggest realization about AI came while watching people argue about truth online. Everyone's desperate for clarity - about politics, about reality, about what's actually happening in the world - but we're drowning in noise instead. On X you might find nuggets of truth if you dig hard enough, but on TikTok it's almost impossible. The mainstream media abandoned truth years ago. Even PBS feels compromised now. We're all scrolling endlessly, looking for something real, something we can trust, but every source seems to have an angle. Every platform pushes its own version of reality.
For the longest time, I couldn't figure out why anyone would fund all this division. Sure, you could argue they profit from chaos, but if there really are intelligent people making big decisions at the top - and they'd have to be intelligent to maintain that kind of power - then they must have some deep
