The correct algorithm to use on Twitter is Twitter users being allowed to say and view what they want

“New Twitter policy is freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach.” -Elon Musk 11-18-22

Musk is wrong about this. An easy way to see this is consider a same or similar message sent by thousands of people. If this message is made “unreachable,” no one will see it. Making a message unreachable is censorship.

A very serious example of this kind of censorship is the “unreachable science” of covid. Hundreds of doctors and scientists and tens of thousands of others have been doing everything they can to make the voice of real science be heard. The have met with some success but not nearly enough.

Until Musk took over, in addition to outright bans, Twitter shadow banned, demoted, delisted, and otherwise hid the “reach” of real science as millions died. What’s worse, not only Twitter did this but also virtually all social media, all MSM, all academia, and all government agencies did it too. For three years all of the top official speakers in the West have concertedly and deliberately gaslit the world with the help of demonic algorithms and misguided intentions.

If real science had not been censored by government, social media, Twitter, and MSM, we would probably not even remember covid today.

Real uncurated science—which was difficult for most to reach—found effective early treatments for covid within months, thus precluding any need for a vaccine. Real uncurated science also identified the danger of Remdesivir, ventilators, and the experimental vaccines.

I congratulate Musk on removing all bans on covid-related speech from Twitter. By doing this, he is proving the point: The correct algorithm to use on Twitter is Twitter users being allowed to say and view what they want.

Consider again the banned and “unreachable” real science of covid. During these years, bad theories and evidence have appeared and been quickly exposed as such, just as they should be. As a “free speech absolutist,” which he claims to be, Musk should realize that all subjects will follow a similar evolution. Basing speech proscriptions on feelings, vague ideas, or lousy moral philosophies only opens the door to censorship by other names.

In some cases involving arrogant public figures and really bad people harsh language is called for, mockery is called for. Some examples of this are health officials who banned early treatments for covid and who mandated bad treatments for covid. These are the two factors that needlessly and cruelly killed the most people during covid. ABN

FDA Says Telling People Not to Take Ivermectin for COVID-19 Was Just a Recommendation

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) telling people to “stop” taking ivermectin for COVID-19 was informal and just a recommendation, government lawyers argued during a recent hearing:

The cited statements were not directives. They were not mandatory. They were recommendations. They said what parties should do. They said, for example, why you should not take ivermectin to treat COVID-19. They did not say you may not do it, you must not do it.

Both my doctor and three pharmacists I spoke with did not interpret FDA positions as “informal” or “just recommendations.” ABN

I’ve been a teenage girl and I’m in process of raising two of them. Nothing about the horrific rise of gender confusion in girls surprises me

1/ I’ve been a teenage girl and I’m in process of raising two of them. Nothing about the horrific rise of gender confusion in girls surprises me.
Puberty is an emotional tsunami for girls. Today they face a gross and degraded dating culture in which

2/their only measure of objective value is their micro bikini-fitness and willingness to make themselves sexually available to unscrupulous males.
From precious little princess to door mat in 2 seconds, plus the indignities, suffering, and strangeness of a woman's biology.

3/Their emotional pain is tremendous, even in the best of circumstances.
And how many have "best" circumstances?
Half perhaps or more have absent fathers, and no real conception of what an honorable, faithful and protective man looks like in action.

Motivated reasoning, speaking to effect

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Motivated reasoning means reasoning to gain. Speaking to effect means speaking to cause something.

Both are the most common forms of thought and speech for all people with few exceptions.

Speaking to effect and motivated reasoning maintain personas.

Because it is difficult to tell truths and because trying to do so brings calamity, we don’t. We narrow thought instead; our voices dull faceless muffled sounds with no meaning.

This is the tone and timbre of samsara, the feeling of group delusion, the Suffering of the First Noble Truth.

Response to Orange County declaration of health emergency

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

I am not clear on the details of this or who the speaker is or when she spoke, but this is a proper way to address the people waging hybrid warfare on us through deceptive health “emergencies”. The word ‘war’ has been demoted through frequent political usage (war on drugs, war on poverty, etc), so it now lacks the force it deserves. We are at war right now, today, with an amalgam of parasitic subcultures bent on destroying USA and looting it while doing so. Is RSV rising due to vaccines? Is RSV even rising? I don’t know. A health emergency will seem proactive or at least benign when first announced but it’s what they do with it once the public accepts it that really matters, as we have learned from the federal covid emergency which is still in effect and which has been used to do so much wrong and evil.

‘It is not the time for forgiveness, it is the time for justice’ ~ Eva Vlaardingerbroek

~ ABN ~ 1 Comment

It is not the time for forgiveness, it is the time for justice.

The backtrackers who are talking about forgiveness are forgetting the two steps that come before it: true repentance and accountability.

And yes, I’m talking to you @piersmorgan. Do better. https://t.co/ad8dkVNPcZ

Is morality a fundamental part of nature?

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Viewing nature as a signaling network shows its advantage with this question.

Instead of asking where our moral sense comes from, we ask instead what makes for a good signaling network?

The answer is “good organization.”

By “good,” I mean efficient, well-made, good use of resources, easy to maintain, rational, etc.

You are a signaling network.

A well-organized you will probably tend to be morally pretty good and wanting to get better at it, depending on your conditions.

Of course some people view “morality” as whatever is in their best interests. And that is a type of moral thinking. When it is found out, though, most other people, very reasonably, do not like it.

If we view nature as the evolution of signals and signaling networks rather than as the evolution of matter, we will see that changes in signal organization are fundamental to the evolutionary process.

In this sense, it is the most ordinary thing in the world that you, a complex signaling system that is conscious, would consciously seek good organization and/or want to adapt your organizing principles, both objective and subjective, to conditions that impact you.

Conditions that impact you are signals being perceived by the signaling network you think of as yourself.

Your adaptations, both small and large, will encompass many moral considerations and choices.

Morality can be viewed as a kind of organization. The networks that make up your being must organize their relations with the world around them and other sentient beings. We make many moral decisions when we do this. These decisions are an integral part of how we are organized.

Last night I heard a drunk swearing at his friend from the street. “You fucking bastard…” etc. Not well-organized, but still he was yelling a local version of morality and this was fundamental to his networks and behavior.

UPDATE 11/09/22: The above shows that what we scientifically think of today as evolution does not contradict what might be called spiritual evolution, or Buddhist evolution that happens in three ways combined: through 1) morality/ethics; 2) concentration/mindfulness; and 3) wisdom/understanding. Karma is the path of our mind as it wends through its various and numerous realities, sometimes tending toward goodness or the Tathagata, sometimes tending away. By consciously contemplating our signaling networks and describing them to ourselves and close friends we can make our signals clearer and more ethical and thus become wiser, have better understanding. The act of doing this is a kind of concentration or mindfulness. It really doesn’t matter what your religion is, including atheism or even oblivionism, honestly analyzing your signaling will change you probably for the better. ABN

Court Orders CDC to Release Data Showing 18 Million Vaccine Injuries in America

~ ABN ~ 1 Comment

More than 18 million people were injured so badly by their first COVID shot from Pfizer or Moderna that they had to go to the hospital. That’s according to the CDC’s own internal data, which a court just ordered the federal agency to release to a watchdog group.

Instead of alerting the public to the incredible dangers of these shots and completely shutting down Joe Biden’s mass vaccination mandates, the CDC covered up the info until it was forced to release. Everyone in a position of authority at the CDC should be fired for this. What good is a “public health” agency if it fails to alert the public that 8% of vaccine recipients are being hospitalized?

According to these data, you are far more likely to be hospitalized due to the vaxxes than covid itself. I am greatly in favor of forgiving ordinary people who innocently fell for the scam. If they were somewhat obnoxious and apologize for that, I am in favor of forgiving them too. For those in charge, those who lied and were cruel, they need to do much more. ABN

Child Euthanasia without Parent Approval Pushed for Canada

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

If…a capable [legally underage] patient explicitly indicates that they do not want their family members involved in their decision-making, although healthcare providers may encourage the patient to reconsider and involve their family, ultimately the wishes of capable patients with respect to confidentiality must be respected. If we regard MAID as practically and ethically equivalent to other medical decisions that result in the end of life, then confidentiality regarding MAID should be managed in this same way.

“If we regard MAID as practically and ethically equivalent to other medical decisions that result in the end of life”: OK, so no, let’s not regard them in that way. ABN
