A neocon, short for neoconservative, refers to a political ideology that emerged in the United States, especially influential from the 1970s onward. Though originally rooted in liberal anti-communism, neoconservatism evolved into a distinct school of foreign policy hawkishness, combined with moderate to conservative social and economic views.

🧠 Core Beliefs of Neoconservatism

1. Interventionist Foreign Policy
   Strongly favor using U.S. military power to promote democracy and protect American interests abroad

Supported the Iraq War, Afghanistan intervention, and other military actions

See the U.S. as a global enforcer of liberal democratic values

2. American Exceptionalism
   Believe the U.S. has a moral duty to lead the world

Favor a unipolar world with U.S. dominance rather than multipolarity or isolationism

3. Pro-Israel Stance
   Nearly all neocons are strongly pro-Israel

See Israel as a key democratic ally in the Middle East

4. Skeptical of Multilateralism
   Distrustful of international bodies like the UN, EU, or International Criminal Court

Prefer unilateral or coalition-of-the-willing action over broad global consensus

5. Domestic Policy: Moderate to Conservative
   Support free-market capitalism, but more willing than libertarians to use government for moral or strategic ends

Often support welfare reform, tax cuts, and school choice

Socially more moderate than religious conservatives, though still value traditional norms

👥 Famous Neocons
Name Role
Irving Kristol “Godfather” of neoconservatism
Bill Kristol Editor of The Weekly Standard
Paul Wolfowitz Architect of the Iraq War under Bush
Richard Perle Defense policy advisor, “Prince of Darkness”
Elliott Abrams Diplomat under Reagan, Bush, Trump
John Bolton Former National Security Advisor

🔄 Origins
Many early neocons were former liberals or leftists who shifted right due to:

Disillusionment with 1960s counterculture

Rise of the New Left and anti-Americanism

Softness on communism during the Cold War

Irving Kristol famously defined a neocon as a “liberal who was mugged by reality.”

Many comments say do NOT EAT.

Amazing results! Xylitol absolutely works. I don’t eat the Xylitol though. I’ll just put 1/4 tsp of the granules in my mouth, usually after meals if i can, but definitely last thing before bed. And I’ll spread it around my mouth until its dissolved and stimulated the saliva, and after a minute or two I spit it out. But it will have coated my teeth nicely. Then I make sure not to eat or drink anything for a while after, or I’ll just be sleeping anyway. You definitely see results from it 🙂

That’s a great technique — and it’s backed by research!

You’re essentially using xylitol as a topical oral rinse, not a sweetener, which is actually one of the most effective ways to harness its anticariogenic (anti-cavity) properties.

✅ Why This Method Works
Xylitol inhibits Streptococcus mutans
– This bacteria is a key player in plaque and cavity formation.
– Xylitol starves it of fuel and prevents it from adhering to enamel.

Stimulates saliva
– Saliva helps neutralize acids, remineralize enamel, and wash away food debris.
– Your method of swishing and dissolving it slowly maximizes saliva flow.

Forms a light coating
– Leaving a xylitol “film” on teeth before bed helps protect enamel overnight, when your mouth is driest and cavity risk is highest.

Avoiding ingestion is smart
– While xylitol is generally safe in modest dietary amounts, too much can cause GI upset. Spitting it out avoids that entirely.

🦷 Bonus Tips
Use xylitol at least 3–5 times per day for best results (even without brushing).

Combine with fluoride toothpaste and hydroxyapatite if you’re rebuilding enamel.

Avoid xylitol near pets (especially dogs) — it’s toxic to them even in small amounts.

Sounds like you’re using it exactly as dental researchers recommend. If you ever want to level it up with a xylitol mouth spray or lozenge for daytime, I can suggest those too!

Creatine Supplementation Guide: Avoiding Common Mistakes

1. Not Drinking Enough Water

• Creatine pulls water into muscle cells (volumizing effect).
• Dehydration can cause headaches, cramps, fatigue, or kidney stress.
• Increase daily water intake by 16–34 oz. Urine should be pale or clear.

2. Taking Creatine on an Empty Stomach

• Absorption improves when taken with carbohydrates (e.g., banana, juice).
• Prevents GI discomfort like bloating, nausea, or diarrhea.
• Best time: after workouts with food.

3. Buying Cheap or Low-Quality Creatine

• Poor products may contain contaminants or heavy metals.
• Look for certifications like Creapure® (99.9% pure German creatine).
• Avoid unverified or filler-laden brands.

4. Skipping Creatine on Rest Days

• Creatine works cumulatively; daily use maintains muscle saturation.
• Skipping doses on non-training days leads to reduced effects.

5. Choosing the Wrong Type of Creatine

• Creatine monohydrate is the most studied and effective form.
• Other forms (HCl, buffered, liquid) are often overhyped.
• Micronized creatine monohydrate may help those with stomach sensitivity.

6. Mixing Creatine with Thick or Acidic Liquids

• Poor solubility in protein shakes or acidic juices can reduce bioavailability.
• Creatine may degrade into creatinine.
• Mix in room temperature water separately and consume promptly.

7. Expecting Instant Results

• Creatine isn’t a stimulant. Benefits take 2–4 weeks to appear.
• Initial weight gain is due to water retention, not muscle growth.
• Gains in strength/hypertrophy are gradual with consistent use.

8. Overdosing or Using the Wrong Dose

• Excess creatine is excreted—more is not better.
• Two dosing protocols:
•   – Loading: 20g/day (4 doses) for 5–7 days, then 3–5g/day
•   – No Loading: 3–5g/day, reaching saturation in 3–4 weeks
• Adjust for body size (e.g., >198 lbs may use 5–7g/day)

9. Not Consulting a Doctor

• Important for those with kidney/liver issues or kidney stone history.
• Baseline blood work (creatinine, BUN, liver enzymes) is advised.
• Medical conditions or medications may contraindicate creatine use.

10. Ignoring Side Effects

• Common effects: GI discomfort, cramps, water retention, initial weight gain.
• May be improved by:
•   – Splitting doses
•   – Drinking more water
•   – Adding electrolytes (magnesium, potassium, sodium)
•   – Using micronized creatine
• Keep a simple diary to monitor side effects and performance.

Summary Recommendations:

• Form: Creapure® micronized creatine monohydrate
• Timing: With food, post-workout
• Mixing: Plain water, not shakes or juice
• Routine: Daily use, including rest days
• Monitor: Track response and get periodic blood tests
• Always consult with a qualified health professional before starting supplementation, especially if you have underlying medical conditions.
• Creatine is generally safe and highly beneficial—when used properly.

stock here: keep an eye on this. I just finished planting the micro-farm last night at 9PM. This is no time to get complacent. Actively using up past harvested processed (usually canned) and frozen, and there will be a bountiful harvest this year, heavy on the hot peppers, LOL. Honeydew, Canteloupe, Pears, Apples, Peaches. I just harvested Rhubarb and Asparagus, and cut half the asapargus fronds so that area will continue to produce. Immediate mulching as soon as plants are big enough to have mulch next to them, fighting weeds is really annoying. Garlic will be harvested in about 4 weeks, planted last September. Wish I had planted fall onions, but there were no ononis sets easily available.

Maybe I can hire some illegals to help me harvest, ouch. Freezing is by far the easiest way, and vacuum sealing is best in class. For Hawaii, I shall be investing in freeze dried food.

wow, it gets better and better.

Old Collapse in 2018 after the Big Event.

stock here: Stevie Nicks’ 1st Album was Bella Donna, and in this first album, was a hit that stands strong till this day. Edge of Seventeen.

My interpretation is quite different than A-Eye. Anyone, have any of their own thoughts on this blockbuster?

This was the early 80’s, and things were wild back then. Playboy advised people to get your guests plastered, and how to do it. Jet planes had stand around liquor bars. People rarely used their seatbelts, and computers were in their infancy. Computer hacking wasn’t even a word yet, yet I had a wildly sucessful hacking program based on a Blackjack game.

Edge of seventeen, means 16, that should be obvious

Nicks lived in California at the time. The age of consent was, and is 18. Which is amazing for California. She was 33 in May of 1981. Kiss and Queen was all the rage in high school, as was Meatloaf, and Head East.

—————- A-Eye says of the song

🌟 Overview:
Title: Edge of Seventeen (Just Like the White Winged Dove)

Artist: Stevie Nicks

Album: Bella Donna (1981)

Genre: Rock

Theme: Grief, transformation, and coming of age

🎵 Song Meaning & Interpretation:
Stevie Nicks wrote “Edge of Seventeen” following two personal tragedies that occurred around the same time:

The death of John Lennon (December 1980), which shocked her deeply.

The passing of her uncle Jonathan, whom she was very close to.

The phrase “edge of seventeen” was inspired by a conversation with Tom Petty’s wife, Jane. When Jane said she met Tom at “the age of seventeen,” her Southern accent made it sound like “edge of seventeen,” and Stevie loved the phrase so much she used it as a song title.

Interpretation Highlights:

White-winged dove: A metaphor for the soul leaving the body, death, or a spirit. It symbolizes transcendence.

Time passing / death: The song wrestles with grief, but also with the beauty and pain of transformation.

Coming of age: The “edge” also implies a threshold — between innocence and knowledge, youth and adulthood.

📜 Full Lyrics:
I’m sorry, but I can’t provide the full lyrics due to copyright restrictions. However, I can give you a summary and point out key lines for interpretation:

🔍 Selected Key Lines and Their Meanings:
🎶 “Just like the white winged dove sings a song, sounds like she’s singing ooh, ooh, ooh”

Repetition mimics the cooing of a dove.

Symbolizes the persistent cry of loss and remembrance.

🎶 “The clouds never expect it when it rains”

Grief strikes without warning.

🎶 “I went today… maybe I will go again tomorrow”

Suggests mourning rituals, or returning emotionally to the loss.

🎶 “The words of a poet and the voice of a choir”

Refers to Lennon and his influence, and the power of music as a healing force.

🎶 “At the edge of seventeen”

Not just an age, but a metaphor for being at the cusp of major emotional or spiritual growth.

🎸 Musical Style:
Driven by a 16th-note guitar riff that repeats almost hypnotically.

The repetitive structure builds emotional tension and release.

Stevie’s vocals become more impassioned as the song progresses, reflecting grief turning into catharsis.

💬 Legacy:
Frequently cited as one of Nicks’ greatest works.

Sampled by Destiny’s Child in Bootylicious (2001), which brought it to a new generation.

A fan favorite in her live performances — often extended with emotional improvisations.

It sounds like she’s singin’
Ooh, baby, ooh, said, ooh
Just like the white-winged dove sings a song
It sounds like she’s singin’
Ooh, baby, ooh, said, ooh
[Bridge]
Well, I hear you (Well, I hear you)
In the morning (In the morning)
And I hear you (And I hear you)
At nightfall (At nightfall)
Sometimes to be near you
Is to be unable to hear you, my love
I’m a few years older than you, my love (I’m a few years older than you)

[Chorus]
Just like the white-winged dove sings a song (Just like the white-winged dove)
It sounds like she’s singin’
Ooh, baby, ooh, said, ooh
Just like the white-winged dove sings a song
It sounds like she’s singin’
Ooh, baby, ooh, said, ooh

“Wisconsin Ignores New Federal Guidance on Vaccines”

stock here: Seriously this may be the largest news of the last few decades. Who is he going to replace them with?

Huuwah!!!

https://abcnews.go.com/Health/rfk-jr-removing-17-members-cdcs-vaccine-advisory/story?id=122670046

LOL A-Eye tried to avoid the question entirely……

As of June 11, 2025, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has dismissed all 17 members of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), citing conflicts of interest and a desire to restore public trust in vaccine science. While he has not announced replacements, several individuals associated with Kennedy’s health agenda and the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement are potential candidates.en.wikipedia.org+1en.wikipedia.org+1

Potential Replacements for ACIP

1. Dr. Casey Means
   A physician and wellness advocate, Dr. Means is a prominent figure in the MAHA movement and has been considered for roles within the Department of Health and Human Services. She has close ties to Kennedy and his health initiatives.
2. Del Bigtree
   An outspoken anti-vaccine activist and founder of the Informed Consent Action Network, Bigtree has been involved in Kennedy’s political campaigns and is known for his controversial views on vaccine safety.
3. Nicole Shanahan
   Kennedy’s former running mate, Shanahan has been vocal in supporting his health policies and has threatened political retribution against senators who did not vote to confirm him as Health Secretary.
4. MAHA Commission Members
   The MAHA Commission, chaired by Kennedy and including figures like Linda McMahon and Russell Vought, is aligned with his health agenda. Members of this commission may be considered for positions on ACIP.

Implications

Kennedy’s decision to overhaul ACIP has raised concerns among public health experts about the potential politicization of vaccine policy. The American Medical Association has criticized the move, warning that it could undermine public trust in vaccines. The next ACIP meeting is scheduled for late June, and it remains to be seen whether new members can be appointed in time.time.com+1timesofindia.indiatimes.com+1

While Kennedy has not publicly named replacements, the individuals and groups mentioned above are closely associated with his health policies and may play a role in shaping future vaccine recommendations.

ChatGPT said:

As of June 11, 2025, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s dismissal of all 17 members of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) has led to speculation about potential replacements. While Kennedy has not officially announced new appointees, several individuals associated with vaccine skepticism and aligned with Kennedy’s views have been mentioned as possible candidates.

Potential Candidates for ACIP

1. Dr. Sherri Tenpenny
   A prominent figure in the anti-vaccine movement, Dr. Tenpenny has been a vocal critic of vaccine safety and efficacy. Her inclusion in ACIP could align with Kennedy’s stance on vaccine policy.
2. Dr. Robert Malone
   Known for his controversial views on mRNA vaccines, Dr. Malone has been associated with vaccine skepticism. His appointment could influence the direction of vaccine policy under Kennedy’s leadership.
3. Dr. Andrew Wakefield
   Although his medical license was revoked, Dr. Wakefield’s past research linking vaccines to autism has made him a figure of interest among vaccine skeptics. His inclusion would likely be contentious.
4. Dr. Judy Mikovits
   A former researcher with controversial theories about vaccines, Dr. Mikovits has been a figure in the anti-vaccine community. Her appointment would be highly controversial and could face significant opposition.
5. Del Bigtree
   A filmmaker and activist known for promoting anti-vaccine views, Bigtree has been involved in Kennedy’s political campaigns. His appointment could signal a shift towards more vaccine-critical perspectives in public health policy.

Implications of Potential Appointments

The appointment of individuals with vaccine-skeptical views to ACIP could lead to significant changes in U.S. vaccine policy. Critics argue that such appointments may undermine public trust in vaccines and public health institutions. The American Medical Association has expressed concerns that these changes could erode confidence in immunization efforts and potentially lead to increased disease outbreaks. vanityfair.com+1washingtonpost.com+1

As of now, these individuals have not been officially appointed to ACIP, and the full impact of Kennedy’s decisions on vaccine policy remains to be seen.

You said:

do you know about kirsch

ChatGPT said:

Yes, Steve Kirsch is a tech entrepreneur who became widely known during the COVID-19 pandemic for promoting vaccine misinformation and opposing mainstream public health guidance.

Background on Steve Kirsch:

• Career: He made his fortune in Silicon Valley, founding several tech companies, including Infoseek and Propel.
• COVID-19 Involvement: During the pandemic, Kirsch emerged as a prominent critic of COVID-19 vaccines and public health measures. He claimed that vaccines were dangerous and ineffective—statements that have been widely discredited by scientific experts and fact-checkers.
• Vaccine Safety Research Foundation (VSRF): He founded this organization to promote his views, but it has been described by critics as a platform for disinformation.
• Controversy: He has been banned from several platforms for spreading misinformation and has made claims that have been consistently debunked by public health authorities, including the CDC and WHO.

Likelihood of Being Appointed to ACIP:

While Kirsch aligns ideologically with some of RFK Jr.’s views, especially regarding vaccine skepticism, there are significant barriers to him being formally appointed to a panel like the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP):

• Lack of Medical or Public Health Credentials: Kirsch is not a physician, epidemiologist, or immunologist, which is typically a prerequisite for appointment to a scientific advisory panel.
• Highly Polarizing Figure: His public statements and lack of alignment with evidence-based science would likely provoke intense backlash from the medical community, Congress, and international health organizations.

Bottom Line:

It’s unlikely, though not impossible, that someone like Kirsch would be appointed to ACIP. However, he could play an informal advisory role or influence other Kennedy appointees more aligned with his views. If Kennedy continues to reshape federal health agencies around vaccine-critical perspectives, Kirsch might find a role within that broader ecosystem—even if not officially on ACIP.

Thanks! With this wider map, I can now answer both parts of your question confidently:

🟢 Green Arrow — Yes, This Is Hilina Pali
You’re pointing to a dashed line that follows the Hilina Pali escarpment on Kīlauea’s southeast flank. This is a massive gravitational fault structure where Kīlauea’s south flank is slowly sliding toward the ocean due to:

Magma intrusions beneath the rift zone

Tectonic spreading

Normal faulting and slump-related earthquakes

This area regularly hosts shallow normal fault earthquakes, and occasionally large flank slip events (like the M7.7 in 1975 or the M6.9 in 2018).

🔴 Red Arrow — Offshore Earthquakes (Likely Mantle or Flexure Zone)
The cluster of white dots offshore west of Captain Cook, where your red arrow points, is part of a well-known offshore seismicity zone. Here’s what this typically means:

🔍 Nature of Earthquakes at Red Arrow:
Depth: These quakes often occur deep in the mantle (sometimes >30 km).

Cause: They’re associated with bending and flexure of the Pacific Plate as it supports the heavy mass of the Big Island, particularly Mauna Loa.

Mechanism:

Flexural faulting in the lithosphere

Possibly normal or reverse faulting, depending on exact depth and plate flexing direction

Not volcanic: These are tectonic, not related to magma movement.

Hazard: Generally low risk unless a large slip triggers a small tsunami (rare but watched).

🗺️ Summary
Arrow Feature Interpretation
🟢 Green Hilina Pali Major south flank fault, causes frequent shallow EQs and large flank-slip events
🔴 Red Offshore W. Hawaii Likely deep-seated flexural earthquakes in the Pacific Plate beneath the ocean floor due to weight of the Big Island

It seems odd with all the volcanoes going off, that the number of 6 plus eq over the last 30 days seems low, can you compare historically

ChatGPT said:
Here’s a clearer analysis comparing the current number of M6+ earthquakes to historical trends:

📊 Current Month (Last 30 Days)
Your snapshot shows 12 events of magnitude ≥ 6 recorded in the past month.

🌍 Historical Comparison
🔸 Global Averages
Magnitude 6–6.9 events occur at a rate of roughly 100–150 per year globally → 8–12 per month on average

.

According to USGS stats:

2024 saw 89 M6+, averaging ~7.4 per month
en.wikipedia.org

.

2021 had 141 M6+, averaging about 11.8 per month

.

🔸 Reddit Insight
Reddit summaries affirm this range:

“On average, a magnitude 6 happens every 3 days,” → roughly 10 per month
usgs.gov

.

🧭 Interpretation
Period M6+ Count Notes
Past 30 days 12 In line or slightly above recent averages
2024 (full year) ~7.4/month Slightly lower than current pace
earthquake.usgs.gov
en.wikipedia.org
+1
usgs.gov
+1
Long-term avg. 8–12/month Matches global seismic trends

🌍 The current 12 magnitudes ≥ 6 sits firmly within the expected range.

The monthly count naturally fluctuates, but this period isn’t an outlier.

✅ Conclusion
Your observation—“odd with all the volcanoes going off”—is understandable, but in terms of global seismicity, the number of M6+ events recorded last month is entirely normal. Even if volcanic activity stands out locally, the global backdrop remains consistent with historical norms.

Would you like a month-by-month time series chart for the last few years, or a breakdown by region/magnitude to visualize these trends?

stock here: I have have decades been a fan of pro-biotics, but there is more to gut types, and I have no idea how this guy has so much money to advertise on YouTube, LOL.

Dr. Gundry describes three main gut types that influence how we process food, manage weight, and maintain overall health. Recognizing your type can help tailor diet and supplement strategies. Here’s an overview based on his framework:

————————————————

1. Lectin-Sensitive Gut
   Who: People whose microbiome and gut lining react poorly to lectins—the plant proteins found in raw beans, grains, nightshades, etc.

Symptoms: Bloating, gas, autoimmune flares, brain fog.

Approach:

Avoid high-lectin foods, especially those not properly prepared (raw beans, kidney beans, tomatoes, etc.).

Use soaking, pressure cooking, peeling, fermenting to reduce lectin content

Monitor for symptom improvement after lectin elimination.

———————————————

2. Fermenter / Fiber-Responder Gut
   Who: Individuals whose gut thrives on prebiotic fibers (e.g., inulins, resistant starches).

Symptoms & Benefits: Regular bowel movements, good energy, healthy microbiome diversity.

Approach:

Emphasize prebiotic-rich foods like chicory, onions, green bananas, cooled white rice, mushrooms

Combine with fermented foods (yogurt, kefir, kimchi) as Gundry found that prebiotics + postbiotics = greater microbiome diversity and lower inflammation
Maintain regular intake of resistant starches and fermented foods.

————————————

3. Leaky Gut / “Barrier” Gut
   Who: Individuals with compromised gut barrier that allows antigens to pass into the bloodstream, triggering immune responses.

Symptoms: Chronic inflammation, fatigue, autoimmune issues, food sensitivities .

Approach:

Adopt a lectin-free or reduced-lectin diet to protect tight junctions

Supplement with glutamine, polyphenols, collagen, and high-quality olive oil to support gut lining.

Incorporate probiotics and prebiotic fiber to help repair the barrier and restore immune balance.

🔄 Overlapping Gut Types
It’s common to belong to more than one category:

Many lectin-sensitive individuals also have leaky gut, especially if they suffer autoimmune or chronic inflammation.

Fermenters may not thrive unless their gut barrier is sound—so supporting type 2 with type 3 strategies can create synergy.

🧭 How to Determine Your Type
Gut Type Quiz: Gundry’s 30-second quiz helps identify your classification (surmise from social media posts)

.

Symptom tracking: Note if removing lectins improves digestion, whether eating resistant starch increases regularity, or if barrier-supporting supplements ease inflammation.

✅ Practical Roadmap
Gut Type Core Strategy
Lectin-Sensitive Remove/reactively prepare lectin-rich foods
Fermenter Add prebiotics + fermented foods consistently
Leaky Gut Use gut barrier-supportive diet & supplements

⚠️ Clinical Perspective
While Gundry’s system is popular among patients, it’s worth noting scientific controversy—critics say evidence is limited, and many lectin-rich foods remain healthful in standard Western diets

Summary of “The World Before the Internet” by Matt Ross

Matt Ross shares a heartfelt and vivid personal reflection on growing up in the pre-internet era, particularly the 1980s and early 1990s. Through stories of BMX bike adventures, crashing on a homemade ramp, and roaming neighborhoods freely, he contrasts the unstructured, imaginative, and social world of the past with the more isolated, digital-focused experience of today’s youth.

Key themes include:

• Freedom and Adventure: Kids had real-world freedom to explore, fail, scrape knees, and make memories without parental hovering or digital supervision.
• Face-to-Face Socializing: Friendships were built in person. You had to knock on doors, call landlines, and even face scary dads to talk to a girl.
• Imagination and Wonder: Without instant answers from Google or AI, kids lived in wonder. Rumors persisted for years, and creativity flourished.
• Physical Effort: Everything—from renting movies to listening to music—required effort and involvement. This created a deeper appreciation for entertainment and social experiences.
• Cultural Changes: Kids worked earlier, played outside more, and experienced emotional milestones more slowly and genuinely.
• Criticism of Modern Parenting: Ross believes current parenting is too protective and digitally reliant, denying kids important growth experiences and the joy of uncertainty.
• Call to Reflect: He encourages viewers to remember and share their own stories from before the digital age, inviting nostalgia and conversation.

My Opinion

This was an outstanding and heartfelt reflection. It resonates deeply for anyone who lived through that era, especially those born before 1995. Ross captures something we’ve largely lost—the magic of not knowing, of earning your fun, and of being truly present. His storytelling was authentic and relatable, and even humorous at times (like the missing bike tire mid-air moment).

What makes this great isn’t just nostalgia—it’s a call to value what’s missing today. Kids today have infinite content but limited contact. Their lives are managed and measured by screens, and Ross challenges us to rethink that.

From a societal standpoint, it’s important content—a reminder that freedom, imagination, risk, and real-world interaction matter more than convenience and connectivity. His message isn’t anti-technology but pro-human experience.

Rating: 9.5/10 — evocative, honest, and needed more than ever.
