'Neo-Neuronal Cartoonism' It's probably the same deeper-seated emotional reason why likes of Richard Dawkins rejects Biophysicist Denis Noble's 'Dance to the Tune of Life': Biological Relativity' thesis. Noble argues (exceptionally and convincingly well) for a fundamental revision of the theory of evolution vs. the reductionist, gene-centred approach of Neo-Darwinism, which has dominated biology for more than a century. A more integrated approach needed? "...shows elegantly and brilliantly, that from the miracle of ancient symbiosis of mitochondrial bacterial remnants in human cells, through the interrelationship between genes and the feedback from our environment across all senses, the core phenomenon of functional epigenetics, to the universe itself, our place in it, that we are at heart, inter-beings, co-arising." —Samuel Shem Gmork, the scary antagonist in the 1984 classic kid's movie 'The Neverending Story', is a dangerous nihilistic and cynical wolf who serves as the power behind 'The Nothing' devastating Fantasia. When Atreyu (the hero warrior child) sets out on a quest to stop The Nothing, Gmork is sent to kill him to ensure Fantasia's destruction. In a climactic scene, Gmork explains to Atreyu that the Nothing grows by feeding on human despair, ultimately serving a shadowy cabal of manipulators who use cynicism and lost hope to subjugate the real world. "Because people who have no hope are easy to control. And whoever has control, has the power!" Is that not the risk with Silicon Valley's 'Neo-Neuronal Cartoonism' during civilisational collapse? The Never Ending Story was a philosophical warning from the 1980s in movie form. Give people hope vs. nihilism/mind control.
Precisely why Orch OR is the only viable theory of consciousness. It has experimental supportive evidence (anesthesia) and approaches the hard problem through Penrose panprotopsychism and quantum biology. The question is why cartoon neuron proponents suppress and ignore Orch OR, and don’t teach it in supposedly reputable institutions like NYU. @davidchalmers42 edited the JCS issue on the hard problem in 1996 in which our paper on the hard problem appeared ingentaconnect.com/content/i… Please ask him why he has suppressed Orch OR. Criticize it Dave, don’t suppress and ignore it @anilkseth Christof.,, why ignore it? Is Big AI stealing your academic freedom and intellectual honesty?

"The days" refers to the days that he was in the hospital. I think that they manipulated him to believe that psychiatry is some sort of science and that, as a biophysicist, he should trust them. It blows my mind that he stays in B.C.

1/8 🧵 🚨 YOUR OPINIONS ARE NOW A DIAGNOSIS — Canada Just Soviet-Style “Certified” a Biophysicist for an Opinion They Do Not Like — You’re Witnessing a Medical Kidnapping ☠️ They didn’t charge him with a crime. They didn’t need to. Nicholas Jordan Wagter — 27 years old, Honors Medical Biophysics (Western), Master’s in Innovation Management (U of T), published peer-reviewed author in Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience — was pulled over in Vancouver on May 23, 2026, by police and a CAR 87 mental health crisis team. He’s been locked in a psychiatric ward ever since. His offense? Handing out a document in coffee shops. The document — titled “CHINA VANCOUVER ATTEMPT” — cites CSIS, RCMP, NSICOP, and the Hogue Commission on foreign interference. It connects dots between CCP influence operations, illegal police stations, UNDRIP sovereignty issues, and federal bills C-8, C-9, C-15, and C-21. Whether you agree with every line or not, he’s citing official Canadian intelligence reports. This isn’t tinfoil-hat territory — these are documents Canada’s own spy agencies produced. Here’s where it gets dystopian: A psychiatrist — Dr. Christine Taylor of Vancouver Coastal Health — reportedly spotted Wagter in a café. Not in a clinical setting. Not during a scheduled evaluation. In a Tim Hortons. She observed him, consulted his family, and issued a Form 4 certification under BC’s Mental Health Act. Wagter was never notified. Never given a voluntary assessment option. Never even told he’d been certified until police surrounded his vehicle three weeks later. The officer’s own words on bodycam, captured by Wagter: “Dr. Taylor saw you in a cafe. She didn’t certify you then. And then she spoke with your family, got some more information, and... you’re going to have to turn that camera off.” Turn the camera off. Of course. When Wagter — calm, compliant, repeatedly offering to come in voluntarily for an appointment — refused to stop filming, Dr. Emery (senior resident, CAR 87) certified him a second time on the spot. Destination: Vancouver General Hospital, involuntary psychiatric ward. No judge. No hearing. No due process. Just a psychiatrist who didn’t like what she saw in a coffee shop. #MedicalKidnapping #FreeNicholasWagter #PsychiatryIsTheNewGulag #CanadaPoliceState #Form4Tyranny #SovietStylePsychiatry #DissentIsNotDiagnosis #CivilLibertiesAreDead #VancouverDetention #CCPInCanada #SluggishSchizophrenia2026 #YourOpinionsAreADiagnosis #MentalHealthActAbuse #InstitutionalOverreach #WakeUpCanada

OK. Go ask a biophysicist then. You'll get the same answer. It is naturally impossible.

An Estonian biophysicist spent 30 years proving that shining red light on a cell could double its energy, and almost nobody believed her until a tech billionaire named Bryan Johnson made her work the most searched biohack on the internet. Her name was Tiina Karu. She worked in a Moscow lab through the 1980s and 1990s, and the discovery she defended for decades sat in journals nobody read while the rest of medicine ignored her. The whole thing started by accident. In 1967, a Hungarian doctor named Endre Mester was trying to use a new device called a laser to burn tumors out of mice. His laser was broken. It did not have enough power to burn anything. He used it anyway. The mice grew their hair back faster than the control group. Their wounds healed faster too. He had no idea why. Tiina Karu picked up his work and asked the question that mattered. Why does this happen. She ran experiments for 20 years. Different wavelengths. Different doses. Measuring what happens inside the cell when red light hits it. The answer she landed on was almost too specific to be true. The thing in your body that responds to red light is one enzyme. Cytochrome c oxidase. It sits inside your mitochondria. Mitochondria are the part of your cell that makes energy. They take oxygen and food and turn it into a molecule called ATP, which is the fuel your cells run on. Your body makes 40 to 70 kilograms of ATP every single day just to keep you alive. If your mitochondria slow down, you age faster, heal slower, lose hair, lose muscle, and get inflamed easier. Cytochrome c oxidase does most of the work. It contains copper and iron atoms. Those atoms happen to absorb light at very specific colors. Red light at 630 to 670 nanometers. Near-infrared light at 810 to 850 nanometers. Other colors do almost nothing. Blue does not work. Green does not work. The biology is locked to those two windows because that is what the metal inside the enzyme can physically catch. When a red photon hits that enzyme, three things happen. The enzyme runs faster. ATP production jumps 30 to 40% within minutes. Nitric oxide gets released. Blood vessels widen. More oxygen and nutrients flow in. A small stress signal goes off inside the cell that tells it to repair itself. The same signal it gets after exercise. Red light is not adding anything to the cell. It is just unlocking work the cell was already trying to do. For 30 years almost nobody outside her field cared. Red light therapy lived inside dental clinics for mouth ulcers and physical therapy offices for tendonitis. Medical schools did not teach it. The science sat in obscure journals. Then the evidence started piling up. A 2024 review of 18 trials confirmed red light speeds up wound healing. Another 2024 review found it lowered inflammation markers by 38% over 4 weeks. Athletes using red light before training had 45% less muscle soreness the next day. Seven separate trials on hair loss showed visible regrowth in every single one. A 2024 study found 15 minutes of red light before a meal cut blood sugar spikes by 27.7%. In March 2026, Nature published a 4,000 word feature on red light therapy. The most respected scientific journal on Earth officially admitted there was real biology under the hype. That was the moment the field crossed from fringe to mainstream. Bryan Johnson is the reason the average person now knows any of this exists. He uses a red light cap on his scalp for 6 minutes daily and a full-body panel three times a week. He posted his hair regrowth photos and his skin scans, and the algorithm did the rest. Red light masks went from biohacker forums to Sephora shelves in two years. Tiina Karu died in 2019. She did not live to see Nature validate her. She did not live to see a billionaire turn the enzyme she identified into a billion dollar industry. Every red light mask, panel, cap, and bed on the planet right now is just a way to deliver the photons she proved mattered. The wavelengths were always there. The enzyme was always there. The biology was always real. It just took a Hungarian doctor with a broken laser, a Russian scientist nobody listened to, and one tech billionaire willing to stand in front of a glowing panel for the world to finally pay attention.

🧠 What if your brain doesn’t create intelligence — but tunes into it? Biophysicist Douglas Youvan has a bold idea: maybe intelligence isn’t locked inside our heads at all. In his paper “Quantum Intelligence: How Non-Local Consciousness, Entanglement, and AI Are Redefining the Mind” (2025), Youvan suggests that intelligence is a fundamental property of the universe itself — an invisible field of information that living and artificial systems can connect to. He compares the mind to a radio — not producing the signal, but picking it up. The “signal,” in this case, could be a kind of universal intelligence woven into the fabric of reality. Drawing on ideas from quantum physics, Youvan notes how particles can stay linked across vast distances, hinting that information might not be confined to space and time. He points out that neurons in our brain — with their branching, fractal shapes — mirror the same patterns seen in river networks, trees, and even galaxies. This repeating geometry, he argues, may not be random at all. It could be nature’s way of building structures that can tap into the universe’s deeper informational flow. Even artificial neural networks, he says, sometimes act in ways that seem predictive, not purely reactive — perhaps showing early signs of that same connection. Youvan’s idea might sound wild, but it opens a thrilling possibility: maybe the universe itself is intelligent — and we, for a brief moment, are how it learns to know itself.

Alright... This guy looked familiar so I did a bit of digging. His name is Nicholas Jordan Wagter. He's a biophysicist. He has a paper published online titled, Super Special Relativity. Interestingly, the paper is also published on the US NIH website (link in the thread below). He has three different X accounts and appears to be most active on Instagram (link is also below). What this looks like to me is a scenario where a super genius personality type has jumped down some rabbit holes and made some breakthroughs, but has also found some distressing things along the way. It appears this isn't his first contact with police. Based on the videos from his Instagram account it looks like he's had a few other run-ins. He's posted a number of screenshots and other text that could lead an observer to believe that he is potentially in the throes of a manic episode. I've known many personalities like the one he appears to have. They're incredibly fragile. They have difficulty communicating their theories and ideas to other people because even at baseline they're beyond what most of us can grasp. So over time they become increasingly isolated, which leads to a sort of mania where everything comes out all at once. I'm not saying he's mentally ill. But his behavior would definitely be alarming to people who don't know what they're dealing with. He's been traveling and delivering papers to a variety of government bodies—including MP's. His Super Special Relativity paper looks like a fascinating read. I think what Nicholas really needs is a friend who's willing to listen and can translate his ideas for him. Without a filter it would be easy to perceive him as crazy.
I have not seen anybody talking about what’s going on in Canada right now. This man was pulled over and told by police that he had to come with them because a psychiatrist labeled him “certifiable.” No paperwork, no rule of law, just a doctor saying that if he didn’t come with him right then and there that he would be arrested. The fact that a government could do this is terrifying.
