Something quite fortuitous and unexpected recently occurred in cosmology. The James Webb Telescope, the most advanced and expensive telescope ever made by man which was launched into space last year and set to orbit one-million fucking miles from Earth, just proved correct one of my foundational arguments about how the Universe works in my new book Under A Libra God.

Now that I’m almost 46 years old I feel like I have some authority on what it means to be an adult and how to live a successful, grown-up life. Mostly, my entire book The Perfect Child is about this, because many of our problems as an adult are rooted in our experiences of children in which we learned, by example, various control and coping mechanisms we then employ in adulthood which actually undermine our best interests and make life so much harder than it needs to be.

Way back in 2002 when I was just twenty-one-years old I attempted suicide after a long struggle with crippling depression. Much of that depression as discussed in my book, F*ck Portion Control and my article, The Cure for Depression, originated in an abusive and demeaning childhood being raised in the hateful and bigoted Mormon church by a hateful and bigoted family which caused unrelenting stress and loneliness that literally drove me insane with desperation to be loved and included.

While the current economic state (in the USA but also elsewhere) is plainly obvious to many economists and analysts also discussing the economic bubbles, housing crisis, and affordability, not many (if any) recognize that we have actually been in a recession since the end of 2022.

I am a terrible self-promoter, which is one reason I don’t have an enormous audience, but truthfully this is in part because I do not really want to be doing any of this and would rather make film or video games. Most people engaged in health and wellness are instead seeking to be influencers or health professionals, not creating actual science, and the bare bit of social media and content I create (like this website) is meant to help others, not to produce ‘content,’ so that those who need help can access my work and research.

Ask me what my favorite music was growing up and I won’t have a definitive answer. There were certainly musicians and artists that I listened to and liked. When I was a child there was lots of 80s music (because it was the 80s), and hits from Whitney Houston, Talking Heads, and Gloria Estefan are burned into my memory along with one-hit wonders like Take on Me and Come On Eileen (by Aha and Dixie’s Midnight Runners, respectively)

A decade ago (2016) after discovering some solutions to problems like thyroid disease, weight loss, cancer (a functional cure, not THE cure like the solution to the Warburg Effect I discovered in 2023), and hair loss I began getting lots of requests for help from people on the internet, so much that it was taking up too much of my time and so started this website which I then compiled into the first version of my book Fuck Portion Control, written throughout 2016-2017 and first published in 2018.

Everyone knows smoking causes lung cancer. But then how do you explain Jeanne Calment, the oldest verified person in history and lived to the age of 122 who only quit smoking 5 years before she died, at the age of 117?

If you haven’t read my book you won’t know that my story is one of significant heath challenges most people never have to contend, or at least maybe not until they are much older. But from the time I was a child I was taught by ignorant, self-hating parents and society that health problems are rooted in failure to diet and exercise sufficiently…

I was watching a streamer today who dropped a very common phrase, stating that they had an ‘addictive personality,’ but in spite of that had not gotten an addiction to gambling, even though they had gambled occasionally. I presume they believe they ‘have an addictive personality’ due to active nicotine addiction and past experiences of drinking alcohol excessively, and probably some unhealthy attitudes toward food, mistaking cravings for carbs and calories as an addiction response.

The Constitution of the United States of America is one of the first such constitutions in the modern world, and is currently the oldest written/codified national constitution. Its establishment enshrines not only law by Representative Democracy but also the ability and right of The People to amend it as they see fit. Yet, while this right to amend our founding document is well established in the document itself and has been used in the past to do that very amending, it has been many decades since the last time an amendment was passed…

The news media gleefully reporting that scientists have used CRSPR gene editing technology to cut your cholesterol and triglyceride production by 50%. Of course everyone knows that cholesterol is bad for you, right? So this is worth celebrating, right? RIGHT?

In the last several years of High School, when I was 16 and 17 years old, I was a competitive swimmer and practiced with my team in the morning before school, during the last period every other day, and even after school. The last period of the day was supposed to be for our training, but our coach had become excessively ambitious to win State and National titles and had increased swimming practice from once a day to 2 and 3 times a day. To children.

“After 2002 when the Women's Health Initiative study announced some of the harmful effects of hormone treatment, resulting in a disastrous decrease in estrogen sales, the industry has intensified and diversified its public relations efforts, and has succeeded in recovering some of their lost market....”

I don’t often talk about things like the reviews of my books. For a start, there aren’t many, and a few years ago when Facebook was revealed to be selling people’s personal information I deleted my accounts and pages even though that page contained even more reviews than what are otherwise available on the internet. But there is one review in particular that has always really stuck, that lives rent free in my head, and I just had to talk about it for the following reasons.

The internet is a great place to learn. But it is also a great place to become confused. Or to learn incorrect things. If you’re like me, a great deal of content you might see in places like YouTube, Instagram, and other content sites that will not be named, might actually just be confusing, or even demoralizing. What do you mean, tesseract?

Whenever I think back on my younger life and the problems I used to deal with, the one that always sticks out prominently is sitting down to my laptop in an apartment in Los Angeles at the age of 27 and practically trembling with fear at the spectre of having to look at my bank account. I could not avoid it because my debit card had just been declined, even though I was sure there had been money in the account…

Unlike many who get migraines, mine occurred only infrequently, on average about once a month. But when they did happen it was usually so intense that an entire day or more would be lost just sitting on my couch, being unable even to lay down which would only worsen then pain and suffering, with all light and sound extinguished just wishing for the pressure and nausea to swiftly vanish.

No one feels more silly talking about astrology than myself. In one moment I will be discussing the role of opportunistic microbial pathogens like Porphoromonas gingivalis or parasitic Trichomonas protists in the etiology of cystic fibrosis and chronic immune dysfunction and then in the next moment discuss how the influence of Saturn shapes our experiences of structure and responsibility.

Several days ago it was reported that a young man committed suicide after being encouraged to do so by ChatGPT, one of the most prominent “AI” (it’s not actually Ai, but a large language model) products on the market and widely used by many people. While it is clear the AI played a major role in this young man’s suicide we have known since its inception that “AI” is a notoriously unreliable product
