Tried working this week with the cough going on, it didn’t go great. I got some stuff done, but certainly not as efficiently as I could at 100%. In any case, I’m home and bored and recovering right now. I’m starting to feel better. I’m producing gunk from my lungs and the more I remove from my lungs, the better I feel. It’s almost as though I can impactfully feel elevated oxygen levels in my body. I probably can, in all honesty, but I don’t have an oxygen sensor to definitively track it.

Lately I’ve been obsessed with political think-tanks that seem to be influencing society. One of the oldest and I think originators of the phrase “think tank” would be RAND Corporation. That’s an interesting one for sure. One can only imagine what it’s like to work in those walls. Yesterday I discovered a publication called “Palladium Magazine” and their blog post about DEI and how it’s going to be the downfall of the west. The problem with this material is honestly twofold. One, it’s well written and very readable, so it can sound very authoritative without even providing supporting references for the outrageous claims made within. Two, it’s clearly backed by a substantial amount of money. Someone didn’t just take time out of their day to write this for zero compensation in a day. It likely passed hands between author, editor, publisher, and possibly even a review board. Either that, or the author is just a well composed but evil person.

It’s funny, though. You can see Elon Musk’s fingerprints all over this shit. It’s quite likely that he’s funding it with crypto. Palladium Magazine is run by a non-profit called The American Governance Foundation. $800,000 in crypto found its way into the coffers of AGF, which is really convenient because there’s no way to know with certainty who it came from. The weird thing is that this AGF/Palladium crap leads to a small farm through some very obscure shit in the 2022 filing notes. The whole thing is just so weird. And why is Grimes a contributor to Palladium Magazine? She’s not relevant to anything, she’s a shitty electronic music artist with few braincells to spare.

We’ve been told for years that you can’t believe everything you read on the internet. The internet has also been a primary source of reliable information for many people on a broad range of subjects. The real danger here comes from sources fueled by a clear negative intention are providing information with heavy bias as if it weren’t biased. It’s not just the left, the right, or third parties. It’s everyone. Absolutely everyone. It’s not sustainable, I know that. But that’s really all I know. I can’t predict how everything will shake out.

Sorry, I know it feels like a non-conlcusion, but I really am still just trying to wrap my head around this shit.
