Nope. No. Sorry. Gonna have to push back on this. We were ever mindful of creating a show that would have broad appeal.

A psychologist became the most hated woman in her field for proving that the childhood memories people trust the most are often the ones their brain quietly made up. Her name is Elizabeth Loftus. Here's the the experiment that made her famous and its almost insultingly simple. She gave each subject four short stories about their own childhood, collected beforehand from a parent or older sibling. Three of the stories were true. One was completely invented. The fake one always described the same scene. You were five years old, you wandered off in a shopping mall, you panicked, and an elderly stranger found you crying and walked you back to your family. None of it had happened. But after two short interviews, about a quarter of the people in the study didn't just accept the story. They remembered it. They started adding details nobody had given them. The color of the stranger's shirt. How scared they felt the moment they realized their parents were gone. When Loftus finally revealed that one of the four memories was fake and asked them to guess which, many of them guessed wrong. They picked a real one. The study was published in 1995. It was called The Formation of False Memories, and it set off a war inside psychology that is still going today. Here is the thing she had figured out that most people get backward their entire lives. You think memory works like a recording. Something happens, your brain saves the file, and later you press play and watch it back exactly as it was. That is not what happens. Memory is not storage. It is reconstruction. Every time you recall something, your brain rebuilds it from scratch out of fragments and whatever information happens to be lying around at that moment. Anything close enough can get stitched into the final cut. Loftus had proven this years earlier with a car crash. She showed people a video of two cars hitting each other, then asked how fast they were going. For one group she used the word "smashed." For another she used the word "hit." The smashed group estimated the cars were moving about seven miles an hour faster. A week later she asked everyone whether they had seen broken glass at the scene. There was no broken glass in the video. The people who heard the word "smashed" were more than twice as likely to remember glass that was never there. One verb. That was all it took to edit what people had seen with their own eyes. She called it the misinformation effect, and the more she studied it, the worse the implications got. If a single word could plant broken glass, what could a confident therapist plant over months of sessions? What could a leading question plant in a witness sitting on the stand? She started testifying in court, and across her career she consulted on roughly 300 cases, telling juries that the most convincing testimony in the room might be a memory that had assembled itself out of nothing. People hated her for it. She got threats. She got accused of protecting abusers. And then something happened that turned her own life into the experiment. When Loftus was 14, her mother drowned in a swimming pool. Thirty years later, at a family gathering, her uncle told her something she had never known. He said she was the one who found the body floating in the water that morning. She had no memory of it. But the moment he said it, the memory began to arrive. She could see her mother face down with her arms out. She could feel a fireman pressing an oxygen mask over her own panicked face. The details came one by one, vivid and certain, exactly the way they had arrived for every subject she had ever studied. Then her uncle called back. He had made a mistake. It wasn't her who found the body. It was her aunt. The most important memory researcher alive had just watched her own brain manufacture a traumatic childhood memory from a single sentence spoken by someone she trusted. She was, in her own words, a subject in one of her own experiments. That is the part nobody wants to sit with. Fake memories do not feel fake. They feel exactly like the real ones. There is no internal alarm, no flicker of doubt, no difference in texture between the thing that happened and the thing that was suggested to you. You are not remembering your life. You are rebuilding it from scratch every single time, and you have no way of knowing which pieces are real.

Important to note that they were only culturally Christian as Christianity has nothing in common with communism.

49% of Democrats have a favorable view of socialism. At what point do we admit the Democratic Party has devolved into a socialist party? 50%? 60%? 70%?

CEOs are quietly realizing the AI replacement plan has a problem. Two problems, actually. One: the token costs for running AI agents are now exceeding what they were paying the employees they fired. Two: when the tokens run out, the AI stops. Just stops. No continuity. No workaround. Just a spinning wheel where your workforce used to be. You fired humans to save money and bought a subscription that bills you into a corner. The employees you let go knew what to do when things broke. The AI just invoices you for the outage. And then there’s the permission problem nobody wants to talk about. To do its job, the AI agent needs access. Full access. Your systems, your patents, your contracts, your future plans. Everything you spent years building, handed over to a process that has no loyalty, no discretion, and no skin in the game. You didn’t hire a replacement. You gave a stranger with no soul the keys to everything you own. Enjoy.

That was Trump and Vance and Bangino and Patel and Bondi who promised you those files over a year ago. I was the one who delivered them. In those files you’ll find the names Jes Staley, Leslie Wexner, Leon Black, and others that the President and his AG refuse to prosecute.

This person just got a PhD in human sexuality for a thesis about "How Queer Witches Heal Without Western Psychology" and why "magic" should be a "public health priority." From the abstract: "What can queer pagan liminal healing practices teach therapists and other practitioners? Investigating the dichotomies of clinical versus spiritual and history versus present, as well as the inherent liminality between queer memory and queer futurity, aid us in understanding the many subaltern patterns of queer witch healing that are created in the absence of support from mental health fields of practice."

Big Tech make nearly $1 million from your data and you get nothing. A new report from Web3 Foundation claims Big Tech and AI companies could generate as much as $831,497 in inflation-linked lifetime value from a single internet user. Suddenly those free services do not feel so free anymore.

If you don’t know what COBOL is, it’s a programming language created in the 1960s. And yes, some of the federal systems Americans rely on today are still running on it. That means parts of the technology behind critical government operations were built before the internet, smartphones, or GPS even existed. When we talk about “legacy systems,” this is what we mean. America cannot build the future on infrastructure built for another era. That’s why bringing the best tech talent into government matters. That’s why work is underway to move these systems forward.
