If you find me too much, or some of the topics in my feed unpalatable, I'm sorry.Highly recommend throwing me in a twitter list and using search instead of drinking straight from the firehose."list:[username]/[listname] topic" in search will limit it to people on the list.

This works on other people's lists too! Its a really powerful feature that can help you learn quickly on a topic here.E.g. you can learn about how to solve the problem via searching my sun twitter list: https://t.co/11RhH00vtp

I also try to keep a copy of my tweets available up on my keybase. Though this is a very manual process currently so I will occasionally forget.https://t.co/qvEqm7BuaF

I have been obsessively keeping my follower count at 2501 because it's a meme.https://t.co/egsnze9MRZ

Ever since this happened, i've been getting people trying to hack my stuff and steal my social media. its super annoying.I just got my 5th offer to buy my account. People are really horny for senpai's attention. https://t.co/0TKwZmhOzu

One guy was taking to me about being suicidal over Celsius going under and begging me to send stuff to Vitalik. I feel really bad that I can't help these people.https://t.co/SVNGaWnMXl

For the astute observer, that price is literally a paradox. You can not give me more value in dogecoin than the market cap of dogecoin. If you could, that would mean a the moment of exchange you had more dogecoin to give me than was in existence. Or you're a time-traveler.

What is the best way to neutralize people trying to buy twitter accounts with the intention of committing a psudospoofing attack against someone?https://t.co/qFFT881Mua

There's enough money to be made using via spam and scams that I suspect a small proportion of the bluecheck account are being sold (or hacked for $$$) here.https://t.co/2pthbBVdNp

Can we parasite the parasites? https://t.co/tbLwk02OYD

How can I make value off of fucking with people who are trying to ghost hack my twitter avatar?https://t.co/HcEEYHSwHI

You have the skills and leverage to be able to act on psudospoof style social ops, and all you can think to do with it is be a greedy little shit and run Script Kiddie automation tools to puppet accounts? Bleh.https://t.co/5bIFtuxMYP

I don't want social approval.https://t.co/hMs90dLDBh

"Twitter following is a meaningless metric. People listen to you in proportion to your insight and authenticity. Cultivate insight by following your genuine intellectual curiosity. Cultivate authenticity by giving up the need for social approval."— N. Ravikant

I want to heal people.https://t.co/gY20SrIkMA

As an example of some of the vulgar ways of my traight (strain/trait/train) of thought works... Consider for a moment this quote by Richard Feynman. 1/2https://t.co/GbUafkhtKC

Cuz I'm about to research foamy semen fermentation thanks to a curiosity about whipping cream into eggnog and it's impacts on bacterial incubation.It's a pun you see...creaming an egg -> incubation of lifehttps://t.co/rPfNb1wR78

Foamy semen fermenting to bring forth life from an egg.Tiny bubbles... https://t.co/X1V5BFNBPY

I can pull insights about autism out of my ass... https://t.co/ev6Axz2sp4

This isn't a veiled joke about the impact(tion) of constipation from irritable bowel disorder on creativity. But it would be funny if creative thought can be driven by gut bateria.https://t.co/oNB5rdsh02

These kinds of lateral links drop out of my creative process and onto the ground as a sort of mental waste process. It's a kind of thought fertilizer. https://t.co/nAlWMhFHm5

"Gut microbiome composition and diversity are related to human personality traits"Openness and Social network size are positively correlated with gut diversity.https://t.co/WxUF2mnx5J https://t.co/Uap2PXVSmv


"These findings are robust to sensitivity analyses and provide novel evidence of shared relationships between the gut microbiome and multiple psycho-cognitive traits in older adults"https://t.co/nHDMFI4DTL

How open are you? How creative are you? Do you wonder if creative people's farts smell different than those who don't exhibit high trait-openness? 😂https://t.co/GAgBNLpwnp https://t.co/PFrkJdykYd


The Thinky McThawties in my gut be like:"Openness to experience– the drive for cognitive exploration of inner and outer experience– is the personality trait most consistently associated with creativity."https://t.co/hHcdqMiuHWhttps://t.co/H9a9rCwB9g

"Openness to Experience trait tend to have higher levels of network turnover and larger alter rank variations. On broader terms, our study shows that personality traits clearly affect the ways in which individuals maintain their personal networks." https://t.co/gzyEytqIUX

Hmm. It's almost like I've been spending my time building of a functional and predictive model of how gut bacteria manipulate cognitive traits, and develop reasons why autistic types like me struggle to make friends.https://t.co/DCgWurHwpu

@emollick If everyone like you ended up follow same experts there would be even less mixing of unique information on average & creativity may be lower due to large scale artifacts in the network shape itself. Net creativity might drop!Variability in dyads matter. https://t.co/IwQaVa2jQA

I'm trying to be more creative than Von Neumann by trying to figure out why he didn't blink and trying to figure out what kind of gut bacteria he would have had a predisposition for.https://t.co/HVf4dml8fi

I'm leaning into my strengths... https://t.co/gWCeMxDNzR https://t.co/RKqPj3K9hu


I used to be very good at being vuglar.It's one of my strengths.https://t.co/GOlBOmWwQO

Iterative Shitposting: gradient descent within the adjacent possible of wisdom. #eatshit lmao.https://t.co/xGpChuwZMT

Dank memes are underrated.https://t.co/aV8Ix63BEu

How open are you to experiences? I personally wanna know what unmedicated schizophrenic poop smells like and see if there is a gender bias.https://t.co/9MZ9Rk75hV

I already know that some antipsychotics make people's farts smell like "peri-peri prawns" because it disrupts gut bacteria related to sulphuration pathways. https://t.co/n7t8hlPuNO

"This suggests that the gut microbiome may contribute not only to the extreme behavioral traits seen in autism but also to variation in social behavior in the general population" (talking about the study) https://t.co/xXsgL8MdwGhttps://t.co/5MP3ACg0Sq

Autism: being a grumpy asshole.Others call it being a butthead. https://t.co/AX29VvXgM6

New book on my Wishlist:"What's Up With A**holes?: How to spot and stop them without becoming one." https://t.co/C4EmiD6hQpI wonder if @psychproctology knows anything about gut microbiota's impact on aggressive/jerk behavior.https://t.co/1YOy9faMyI

Interesting take on the way of framing relationships & conflict. Goes on to explore it from biological primitives (fight, flight, fear, fuck) and expands it to interpersonal as well as politics and law.https://t.co/ItWrqlteH2 https://t.co/vthzvoYPU1


Do you think we can grow our brains (using gut bacteria) to promote larger social network sizes?https://t.co/pFKhOWLVGn

@simpolism TL;DR: dunbar's assumption was the brain is static. Group size IS predictive of brain size, but its a point-in-time measure and ignores aspects of plasticity.Theoretically we may be able to find drugs change amygdala & restructure it. *cough* LSD *cough* https://t.co/CEFZEWROL3

"The key problem of cultural psychology comprises a paradox: while people believe they act on the basis of their own authentic experience, cultural psychologists observe their behavior to be socially patterned."https://t.co/Jp6hdLzraZ

"Biologist Kathleen McAuliffe dives into new research that suggests certain bacteria in your gut can influence major parts of who you are, from your personality to life-changing neurological disorders."https://t.co/ve2q5BmmVy https://t.co/9ECth4V1HZ


Think about this in terms of https://t.co/vyna84TFDS and theories about personality change.How much of these big-five changes are just gut microbiota shifts? Can you measure species shifting as you go thru self-authorship? https://t.co/zJT3OqIboj

I'm Post Rat. In fact I'm into squirrels now. I figured out how to make them (and chipmunks) not afraid of me."One study used these scent markings to help overcome neophobia with lures by mixing grease, dust, hair and scent marks within urinary pillars."https://t.co/xzeIEgS2yJ https://t.co/GHoX8rSYYm

I'm much more constructive with my bluesky posts, but I still roughly follow this rule.https://t.co/SkJ9Yjzbce

- be a jerk- shitpost- take everything seriously, even the jokes- fuck around and find out- post infrequently and in sporadic bursts while being annoying to others.- write for myself- don't think about anyone but future me- rant even when not askedhttps://t.co/DrBG5q8avz

I've been slacking on my root thread there.https://t.co/HU87L4gYdD

"As mentioned above, the extent of the microbiome's effect on cognitive functions and personality is unclear. However, based on new findings, it should be accepted that the microbiome plays a critical role in shaping personality and identity." [APR 2024] https://t.co/59iEi8YJSF https://t.co/PEzpLXWuHF


Have you tried to grow your social network size? https://t.co/IEHJEef0oI

Have you tried to modulate it thru HDACs ala gut derived SCFAs?"discuss various representative histone deacetylases (HDAC) inhibitors that target GABA system through epigenetic modulations, GABA prodrug and presynaptic GABA transporter inhibitors" [2018] https://t.co/rA0gbHdGc7

Ever try to change GABA gene expression by eating things shown to help mice recover from distorted FMTs?https://t.co/Ew3xYXCamL

@seconds_0 @_its_not_real_ Sounds like the same thing I was reading up on on alcohol + gaba disruption. Stress and trauma mess up the gut pretty bad sometimes.I see that space a lot while reading about social anxiety in autism. I've had good luck with Taurine supplements. https://t.co/bk6eSS4AK2
