View quoted note →
Listening to some podcasts from the covid era and it reminded me that it was not just the cult of covidiots that fell for a ton of bullshit. Far too many who saw through the lies of the official narrative are no better than those who believed it. We had all kinds of moronic psyops that worked all too well. Things like the bluetooth people, the magnetic people, the graphene self-assembling nanobot bs (or was it graphene oxide or maybe graphene razors) and my favorite of all of them all, the EBS / 5G ZombiEbolApocalypse clown show. Maybe you saw through lies of the official narrative, but if you fell for the rest (and others I may have forgotten about), maybe shut the hell up about what others fell for. And you damn well know who you are, and you most certainly never admitted error, you just moved on and pretended it never happened.

Is The State Department Really Building "Freedom Tech"?
The Bitcoin Policy Institute (BPI) announced last week that it is joining defense contractors Palantir and Anduril Technologies, as well as the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, as founding members of the US State Department's newly created "Freedom Tech Excellence Program," an initiative to advance "digital freedom and freedom of expression globally."

Stratospheric aerosol injection tactics and costs in the first 15 years of deployment
Abstract
We review the capabilities and costs of various lofting methods intended to deliver sulfates into the lower stratosphere. We lay out a future solar geoengineering deployment scenario of halving the increase in anthropogenic radiative forcing beginning 15 years hence, by deploying material to altitudes as high as ∼20 km. After surveying an exhaustive list of potential deployment techniques, we settle upon an aircraft-based delivery system. Unlike the one prior comprehensive study on the topic (McClellan et al 2012 Environ. Res. Lett. 7 034019), we conclude that no existing aircraft design—even with extensive modifications—can reasonably fulfill this mission. However, we also conclude that developing a new, purpose-built high-altitude tanker with substantial payload capabilities would neither be technologically difficult nor prohibitively expensive. We calculate early-year costs of ∼$1500 ton−1 of material deployed, resulting in average costs of ∼$2.25 billion yr−1 over the first 15 years of deployment. We further calculate the number of flights at ∼4000 in year one, linearly increasing by ∼4000 yr−1. We conclude by arguing that, while cheap, such an aircraft-based program would unlikely be a secret, given the need for thousands of flights annually by airliner-sized aircraft operating from an international array of bases.

...As it happens, the cure to a great number of those problems has been sitting in our hands for years, and we haven’t properly appreciated it.

We applied our ideas to the tar pit of politics, but overlooked people like these… people who needed help so badly that they’d chase hucksters...
