7. I think this is starting to make more sense

So yeah..whatever this is or was, I don’t want this in or near my home. I don’t want it on my street. This is not stuff to force on people as prison reform for marijuana etc.

I hold my nose and use WhatsApp because everyone else does. I don’t want anything Facebook near my home or life again. Same with Google.

This was a complete waste of my time and life and it actively works against health ans eduction.
Don’t tell me it wasn’t a widespread and creepy thing that both Republicans and thin neoliberal type of “democrat” and some extremely misguided person who thinks they are left or a scientist or a doctor signed up for.


I would talk to only my mentor’s wife or the postdoc counsellor or the therapist or shrink or this one grad student from my own country from my last job at this point. I wish all the rest well (outside the hospital) or at any rate that is the correct thing to say and so I say it. And okay I wouldn’t say they should be smote and visited by plagues and fire and brimstone. But that is about it. Not a bot. And anyone else even less so.


My main lab was cool as is my onc here and one medical mj company and the small pharmacy known to my family for over 20 years, my other doctors generally (all physical health..I am DIYing my mental health not out of choice but most of my problems were caused by the hospital at my last job and I am not doing this by the book when no one else did) and this one lady I buy vegan sweets from.

But I am filing complaints about all this. I have no interest in greencards or money or whatever greasy and awful things that could come from some scammy tech crap that is displacing normalcy.

I will carefully file complaints. Yeah bots etc but it’s not as if bots just spring up on their own or as if this was inevitable.

I did not sign up for this. I would not sign up for this because it is driven solely by greed. This isn’t even convenience. This is greed. I generally like doctors and scientists, except the ones in this. That is a small fraction of all doctors and scientists and I can’t tell what the deal is with these people, but I don’t trust their instincts and that is it.

This is like DARPA’s internet and it really is in no way worth learning from books etc and it is a waste of time ans life and causes

This is junk. I am not a Luddite. I am not antipsychiatry or a pill or anything. But this is garbage. It is the most pointless way of dealing with anything and like the the internet I really don’t see a few conveniences as worth a whole lot of scammy nuisances infringing on my property rights and personhood. This is not something you do this undemocratically and with these hucksters making decisions.

I will consult with my friends in science and my doctors over time to see that this can be quashed without randoms having as much collateral damage as I did.


But I don’t like being taken for a fool.

I am going to Yasha Levine as he is a journalist I trust completely. I don’t know. I guess I don’t need 5000000 sanity tests and bot or bot tests and integrity bs to tell if someone is basically honest.

I am wrapping a paper because I take my research seriously and I am doing it alone.

In Nov 2011 I said I don’t want anything to do with this and I kept saying that since. I will escalate this if I can’t remain anonymous because..I like being anonymous. Not like that stupid, creepy, hacker group. Like a normal pre internet person.

I don’t want to be like all these people online on Facebook etc. They are douchebags and they will lynch me for saying that and it is my right to say it because it is true.

I am not crazy or stupid. And they are douchebags.

It was very hard and grim at times but I weathered it because I am pretty healthy (though mediocre and this didn’t help).

This was stupid and I am filing all applicable complaints and all I want is to disentangle myself from this entirely disgraceful next step in tech. No conspiracy. It is just a waste of time and I blame Yan LeCun for lowering my normally robust defenses against Facebook by being the only recognizably not stupid person associated with Facebook. In Google’s defense, I have never seen a person associated with that company who wasn’t creepy, sleazy, douchey and generally questionable.

And no I stand by it all and it isn’t a mental illness. I have every right as a person to not be Ganesh the Farmer or Crazy the Postdoc. I support everything in this post. It isn’t kayfabe and these people are stupid as douchey

And it isn’t all ..,aww we have to be connected: no we really really don’t.
You don’t get “we have to do this” as I had to not because of illness etc.
But because of this stupid experiment where the peopel involved don’t seem to get that no means no. No means no.

It is not rape but it is a waste of time, learning and resources to be forced into something some completely random people-half of whom seem to consider it torture that for unclear reasons (religion?) they think has to be done (that’s a cult) and the other half are truly sleazy and take to it like fish to water.

This was altogether disgraceful and I can’t condemn it enough. I am angry but also laughing because this is stupid. Poverty, disease ..these are things people cannot help.

What was the point in this? No one needs or wants this except those shills for these douchey tech cos who pretend ..and it is so fake.. oh these guys are not building the tech we want. I don’t want anything they build, but just like whatsapp

I don’t want this next level thing where. This stuff is rubbish. It is clear that peopem will do better science and be healthier without this junk ubiquitously. Get it out of my street, this part of the grid and my home and yard and I will file complaints anyway and I will give Yasha Levine the whole story with the political abuse of psychiatry because he wouldn’t attack Dr Fauci or Clayton Dalton or my onc or good pis and he wouldn’t buy the bullshitters.

This will result in misconduct and malpractice allegations I file but not with that Trump humper Bhattacharya around/
Oh put a sock in it. This was hell.

I am a nice person, but that doesn’t mean being pompous and moral in the abstract and a total douchebag about reality. I feel a bit defensive but I had a hellish 15 years and Pentland is a moron and everything he does is garbage .

And had there been a proper complaint form or something this eyesore wouldn’t exist. It is not the NIH or the public sector and Musk and those creeps at Palantir are even stupider than these guys. The whole this is atrocious and shouldn’t exist.

And I have every right to anonymously attack all these creeps. It isn’t a funny video because it will be followed up by serious complaints against all these companies and the parts of the state that were this negligent. It is a strain on good publicly funded scientists and doctors and only for peopem with a vested interest in this creepy extortionate trash that is totally unconstitutional in any democracy.

I can’t believe this needs to spelt out. So ..none of this will end well for anyone in this instance and I don’t care what creepy hells you build but an opt out is non optional.

It is my person and my property and I would not let anyone in this make any decisions for me because it is stupid.
It took me 14.5 years to get over this and I do not forgive any of it.

And I am grateful to EarlG and elad and skinner and Rollo Carpenter separately for giving me a forum and a bot via which to send info indicating that it is a hard no as it was the entire time. Now disentangling all of my stuff from this garbage and building structure to file complaints and bring back democracy-that’s not my job. But I will do what I can by filing whatever complaints I seriously can and telling Yasha the whole.

I have nothing to hide except that I am honest about thinking all these people online under their own names are douchebags except for a few scientists on Stack exchange. These guys..Musk Zuck and your stupid creepy Trumps and Vances are all brainless douchebags. It is a punishment to ever remember they exist.
I was a mediocre scientist and I became worse.


This was dumb. I am filing complaints and this better be shut down and don’t erase it/ I want to report the people involved in targeted ways. And seriously don’t bother to extort me ahakn.

This was so stupid/ it’s one thing..the rigors and harshness of science or genuine ill health
This was so scammy. Elizabeth Holmes didn’t get away with it and nor will these guys.

Most people will opt out except morons/ but I will also file complaints and ensure that these people have to give explicit info and stringent legal norms before they use cyber security or convenience etc or worse some form of policing by peopel unfit to be anything but creeps.. so yeah no/
This gravy train is over the except for the peopel who will be conned or work with this.

This is a time of change and I will ensure that I abort this and complain and you can go and do this bullshit anywhere but not anywhere near my home or life again. I will get the legal equivalent of a restraining order wrt the technologies and it was psychiatric malpractice to claim that it is schizophrenic etc.
see you in court and this isn’t a cute funny online thing. Don’t poke around unless you also want to face harassment charges.

And i really appreciate EarlG’s patience. These are not Facebooks or Google’s or Tata or Jios or Adanis or Jack Mas or Pavel Durov’: or any creeps spaces. It is my home and I want this trash gone. Go shove it in some morons home.
