It feels like removing a dagger from my leg.
Headache. Dysphoria. Flatness. Hearing phantom iPhone dings in my sleep.
Days 1-3 were more of a rush. I felt light and free.
On day 4, the withdrawals began. I've never had to kick something like this before.
Screens are a legit addiction.
I'm curious to see if the month 6 PET scan shows enhanced metabolism in regions that improve in drug addicts who quit like the thalamus, frontal cortex, and striatum (reward circuit).
There are no PET studies of people quitting screens, so Dr. Eber and I are breaking new ground.
Image attached is baseline PET (F18 tracer). That's one of a few scans I'm tracking.
Day 6/365

Pete Buttigieg has the patience of a kindergarten teacher and the communication skills of a constitutional scholar.
His emotional intelligence is through the roof.

brain-rot videos literally suppress activity in the parts of your brain responsible for cognitive control, the systems that help you resist impulses
fascinating
if used properly, short-form video seems almost perfectly designed as a cyberweapon: capture attention, weaken cognitive control, then control what millions of people see next and what they will impulsively act on
good thing nobody would ever build something like that lol

Really Interesting study findings: A child’s academic success is more closely linked to their levels of reading for pleasure than their socioeconomic background & reading has more of a positive impact on young people’s cognitive development than whether their parent has a degree.

proof people are literally under spells. start getting serious about locking yourself away from your phone for a minimum of 7 hours a day because the egregore entities behind these apps are absolutely harvesting your life force in the astral. everything about this is spiritual!

IBM 1979.
Meta used AI to target workers with medical conditions for layoffs, according to a new lawsuit.
Twenty-six former Meta employees are suing, accusing the company of using AI that disproportionately targeted people with disabilities or workers who took medical leave in selecting people for mass layoffs.

Ok hear me out: instead of all of us having to become extremely knowledgeable on a new infectious disease every 3-6 months, what if we got a large group of experts together and just put them in charge of giving us easy to understand health recommendations. They could also do things like track outbreaks and predict future concerns.

Do you guys realize what they’ve done? Lumen Field on a Monday night?? I honestly feel bad for Belgium. Will be the greatest crowd in the history of sports. If we score early, the earth will literally shake. No man could deliver in that environment. The Belgians will break.

You should know that if you get the measles, it will wipe out immunity to anything you had immunity to before you were infected, including any vaccinations

it’s crazy that i was so used to popes being like 372-year-old tiny italian men who just wear the little hat and bless things. now the pope likes baseball and gives out advice like uncle jessie it’s so sick
Deep inner suffering inevitably arises when the human person is reduced to performance, consumption, or a statistical datum. Many young people today live under the yoke of expectations to perform, immersed in an exasperated competitiveness that generates anxiety, fear of not measuring up, and disorientation.

the pope wrote a 42,000 word manifesto declaring war on AI. we are so freaking back.
Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together. In Jesus Christ, this humanity in its grandeur becomes the Way, the Truth and the Life, opening the path for each of us to grow toward fullness. #MagnificaHumanitas
