It was a pleasure to talk with Neil deGrasse Tyson and co-hosts Chuck Nice and Gary O’Reilly to explore what neuroscience, evolutionary game theory, virtual reality, psychedelics, observers, and consciousness suggest about the nature of reality itself. youtube.com/watch?v=GEtCYw…

@glennbeck @rebeccaperrotto No Yes Yes Your Name Yes, a several times. Kyoto. teamLab. Yes Yes Ok 😀

it hasn't sunk in for most people. we already live in a post-scarcity society. UBI is already here. basic package: disability, medicaid, food stamps etc bonus package: literally getting paid for staying at home and hanging out with your relatives extra bonus: if you are willing to commit fraud, pretend your kids are autistic and get paid for that. get paid for watching your neighbor's kid. pretend you are taking care of your grandma. fake hospice clinic. fake rehab clinic. fake therapy clinic. giga bonus: during a time of crisis take advantage of PPP or CARES and open a fake business and get paid for existing people are shocked when they learn that defense is the FIFTH largest line item in the budget. ahead of defense: social security ($1.6T), interest on debt ($1.1T) medicare ($1T), medicaid + ACA ($1T), AND THEN defense ($0.9T) complain about defense all you like, but healthcare fraud is a way bigger factor. hundreds of billions per year. this is only going to get worse, because the fraud is a structural part of the system – payouts to client groups in exchange for votes (normally D). in the US, only 47% of the population actually works (fully 14% of the population is working age and does not work). retirees are 18% and children 22%. the system I described above subsidizes 50m non-working people absolute minimum, but really it's far more because people that are paid to stay home and take care of their relatives are considered "workers" of that 47% of "actual workers" maybe one third does real work, the rest are shuffling papers around or doing fake email jobs. so you have, rough math, 50 million actual workers supporting 300 million dependents. that's the nature of the economy today. it will only accelerate. eventually you will have 10 million using AI tools to do all the work and 340 million dependents. the reason no one roots out the fraud is because it's the system that keeps our extremely fragile polity intact. the fraud is the UBI. the purpose of the system is what it does. of course, it's a deeply unfair system, because you are allowed to commit fraud if you are a politically protected client group of the democrats. DOGE was killed faster than any government program ever, because it attempted to root out the fraud. if you are honest and unwilling to commit fraud, you are a huge loser in this system. your neighbor will have their mortgage subsidized by some government program. they will get favorable SBA loans due to DEI. they will open a fake hospice or autism clinic. they will get paid for taking care of their neighbor's kid and vice versa. the primary skill in the labor market is learning how to extract money from state and federal government programs, not gaining skills or making yourself employable. if you are just trying to work an ordinary wagie job you are a huge sucker. you are paying 40-50% effective all in taxes to everyone else who is a net taker. the sad part is because AI is such a substantial productivity boost, it will actually keep this system going for a while longer, and maybe in perpetuity. AI boosts the 15% of the population that is actually productive so much that the remaining 85% can coast by. no one in charge will change this because they can't think of anything else. the political costs of a real UBI program are too great and we don't have the money for it anyway. so we will keep this covert fraud-based UBI program running indefinitely. unfortunately, if you are an honest wagie, you lose.

@ChikeUmeh01 @elonmusk Great question! I wonder if there are non-verbal autistic children or adults who would be good candidates for BCI trials. Do you think there will be ethical concerns regarding the autistic community and consent?

@elonmusk Hi Elon, What can Neuralink do about Autistic children? They really need to have their lives

I'm raising funds to explore Egypt's rich history and culture in 2026! This experience means the world to me. Please consider donating or sharing to help make this dream a reality. gofund.me/06a392faf

If you don’t understand what is going on with artificial consensus: Invite me to officially speak at your University. Say on Peer Review. Or 40 years of Quantum Gravity. Or The Great Moderation. Or Esoteric/Exoteric speech in academe. Or H1B. Etc.. Then watch what happens next.

@donalddhoffman any thoughts?

I’ve mathematically proven quantum teleportation is just updating unified data structures, like a video game. No ‘spooky action’, just projections of conscious agent states. Full rigorous mapping attached. @seanmcarroll @Plinz @tegmark thoughts? docs.google.com/document/d/15V…

Due to a massive earthquake that occurred in the Pacific Ocean, a Tsunami Warning is in effect for those living in Hawaii. A Tsunami Watch is in effect for Alaska and the Pacific Coast of the United States. Japan is also in the way. Please visit tsunami.gov for the latest information. STAY STRONG AND STAY SAFE!

We are excited to share this raw flight footage including take-off and landing, all with real sound. No special effects, no CGI, no AI, pure engineering. Enjoy the future! A fully functional real-world "speeder bike" that so far only existed in sci-fi movies is finally here.

@MandyMatney Is there a way to contact you via email ab a story only YOU could expose? It’s potentially life or death for those involved.

@NotTheirScript @DOGE Because our brains have been hijacked via dopamine pathways, and we are all under mind control…literally.

@MarioNawfal Aren’t all tech platforms engineered that same way? Our dopamine pathways were hijacked long ago, and we are too entrained to notice or pay attention. We the people, no longer have freedom or autonomy in what controls our attention, thoughts, and actions.

Ok. This is my life’s work as seen by C Jaimungal. Done in near isolation from community for reasons I do not grasp, Geometric Unity has never received this kind of treatment in 40 yrs. I’m sort of speechless and don’t know what to say. except “Thank you.” before I watch it. 🙏

Huge news... I've been working on something assiduously and secretly since last year. It's been several months in the making, with several rewrites and several re-edits. It's finally ready to be released, thus shadow dropping it now. It's a 3-hour iceberg on @ericweinstein's

As AI models become more complex and more capable, is it possible that they’ll have experiences of their own? It’s an open question. We recently started a research program to investigate it.
