valravn.bsky.social @valravn.bsky.social · 16/09/2026To be clear, I think both Thiel and Musk are awful people. It's just reductive to claim that it's just a matter of the 99% versus the techno-oligarchs when there's a very important battle between the people who control the world. 010
valravn.bsky.social @valravn.bsky.social · 16/09/2026They've literally had public battles in courts, boardrooms, and government offices?

valravn.bsky.social @valravn.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Musk is more aligned with EA, and Thiel stands opposed to Musk. They're powerful figures on opposing sides. The ideological differences here are why there are rival AI labs; originally, OpenAI was founded as the anti-DeepMind. Musk is (weirdly) anti-Big Tech. 100
valravn.bsky.social @valravn.bsky.social · 16/09/2026This is pretty misleading? The whole story is pretty complicated, but Thiel is a very vocal critic of Effective Altruism, to the point where he's claimed multiple times that the Antichrist may be an EA (www.wsj.com/tech/peter-t...).wsj.comPeter Thiel Wants Everyone to Think More About the AntichristIn a series of appearances, the billionaire investor has offered his analysis intertwining technology, government and a biblical perspective on the end of the world. 220

valravn.bsky.social @valravn.bsky.social · 07/07/2026TIL. What's a better term then? "Industrial food"? 100
valravn.bsky.social @valravn.bsky.social · 06/07/2026... This is exactly the thing I feared. Tofu is not an ultra-processed food. Examples of ultra-processed foods are like fast food burgers and candies with food dyes. This is all biological science that tracks more with "The Jungle" and vaccines than MAHA. 200
valravn.bsky.social @valravn.bsky.social · 06/07/2026Maybe Bryan Johnson has something completely new and never before seen. But there's like zero evidence to assume this is some impact of familial-closeness with transfusions or GVHD. 110
valravn.bsky.social @valravn.bsky.social · 06/07/2026Yeah, this "fan" theory is weird on a lot of fronts: * GVHD is not a chronic, low-grade syndrome. * Immuno-compromised patients are *very* different from regular patients. * Local impacts on organ systems are a huge smoking gun (versus systemic impacts). 130
valravn.bsky.social @valravn.bsky.social · 06/07/2026The theory of ultra-processed foods causing autoimmune disorders isn't something he invented or even a new idea (e.g. www.lupus.org/news/high-in...)

valravn.bsky.social @valravn.bsky.social · 06/07/2026He's also gone through biological training over the last few years. That's kinda his whole shtick. Whether he's a quack or not is a separate question. On the other hand, you have someone who admits to just making up a theory lol. 100
valravn.bsky.social @valravn.bsky.social · 06/07/2026I'm not saying it's not vibes. I'm saying someone with a biology background talking about their personal experience is probably more reliable than someone with no biology background just spitballing. They're both vibes, but one of these doesn't even claim to be science-based? 100
valravn.bsky.social @valravn.bsky.social · 06/07/2026I have to point out how odd it is to call Bryan Johnson an amateur in a thread where OP admitted she has zero background and is referring to a hunch she has. He may be a crazy health quack, but he's at least got years of biology background here versus zero. 100
valravn.bsky.social @valravn.bsky.social · 06/07/2026OP: "To be absolutely clear, I have no medical or scientific training. I could be completely wrong about this." We should be putting much less stock in OP's vibes-based hypothesis than Bryan Johnson's hypotheses. Especially when people in the comments with medical training don't agree. 200

To go off on a tangent, I don't understand the divide being drawn between "our noble transgenders" and "their savage crossdressers" these days. Coping with the unmentionable, visceral needs takes many forms, some of which are only understood from a distance. Also, damn, that coloring. 000
