>>2368879 They are planning a false flag for July 4th. Pic related was taken from a book published last year called The National Blueprint for Biodefense. The false flag will be a biological attack that will most likely be blamed on Iran. Please spread this, otherwise we're all doomed.
https://biodefensecommission.org/https://biodefensecommission.org/reports/the-national-blueprint-for-biodefense/There's not much time left. Don't let this happen.
"Trump is not trying to do anything bad," said Arthu Sahakyan. "We understand what he's doing. He wants the best for the country. I'm just trying to make the best of it. I don't want any families to go through this. If they are, I apologize for what they're going through because it's hard."
Home surveillance video shows federal agents outside Sahakyan's home Monday. His wife, Arpineh Masihi, can be seen going inside their house to say bye to their four children.
"She came and kissed the kids and that was it," said Sahakyan. "That was the last time we saw her."
Sahakyan says his wife was born in Iran and came to the United States when she was 3 years old as a refugee. Then, roughly 15 years ago, her green card was revoked over a conviction related to theft. While Sahakyan says it was for "misdemeanor stuff," they've been going through the legal process ever since to try and regain her citizenship.
"She just went in [for an immigration check-in] in April," said Sahakyan. "They said you're fine. Have a good day. See you back in September or October."
Then last week, the United States bombed three nuclear sites in Iran, increasing tensions and concerns of sleeper cells retaliating in the U.S.
Federal sources tell Fox News that more than 130 Iranian nationals were detained in the United States last week.
"I'm very for [the United States vetting] Iranian nationals because of the sleeper cells," said Sahakyan. "I think it will resolve a lot of issues because we'll know exactly who's in here for what reasons, even though I miss [my wife] dearly. I think we could have a faster process [where they determine] she's not a radical, or tied to the crazies, let her out."
Sahakyan tells FOX 11 he and his family are proud President Trump supporters. He believes Trump is trying to make the country safer through immigration enforcement efforts. However, he admits his opinion has slightly changed recently.
"Somewhat it has just because I'm going through it," said Sahakyan. "I was very selfish before, but what I see now is there's a reason for [this immigration enforcement]."
Sahakyan's wife, Masihi, called her family during the FOX 11 interview. She was very emotional, fighting back tears, unsure what could happen with her immigration status.
"I'm on the list to be going to a different facility," said Arpineh over the phone.
Sahakyan says he will continue to have Trump flags and signs outside their home.
"I'm still supporting [Trump]," said Sahakyan. "Even though my friends say take the flag down, you're going through a lot. I'm like no. The flag stands."

Hey, putting the word out—I’m about to be on the street. Tomorrow's Saturday. If they don't jack the rates again like they've been doing all week for July 4th, I'll have just enough for one more night. If they raise them again, I won't, and I'll be outside.
I've got a lead on a $225/week room. Guy's slow to respond, but it looks promising. I need immediate support. I don't know what else to do but say it straight—if you can send anything through CashApp, please do. I'm actually down bad as fuck.
If the room comes through, I've got someone who'd probably spot me the upfront cost, but I don't want to call in that favor until I know I have the room locked.
Right now it's $80 a night. If you get in on Monday or Tuesday, it's a $200 special for three days. The weekly rate is around $460. I've got $50, plus $30 I can borrow through CashApp.

>>2370020Bill mostly targeted the poor and immigrants and will be rolled out over several years to soften the blow.
However, it's a powder keg ready to blow. Once the bill is in full effect anyone unemployed will be unable to get food or medical care because they can't work the minimum work requirements. All those low ball estimates of a few million people over a decade without insurance and food relies on the economy remaining stable. But all it take is a mild an economic depression and you get tens of millions of people with no job, no food, no medical care and no shelter.
That's the real reason they are building up ICE and the concentration camps.

If any of this basic bitch populism goes uncontested it cracks the "liberal consensus", it becomes normalized. And they can't afford that.
In the west, in order to keep up the competition they are forced to revision their ideology and commit to neoliberalism, vociferously. Because absent that strong public promise of increasing profits (and exploitation) the capital would flee to better markets. Whether they are better because their inferior development has a higher rate of profit or because the other side is wiling to sweeten the deal temporarily doesn't matter. The conditions that made the USA
THE world hegemon won't repeat. Once they are knocked off, it's a slippery slope.
The "advanced democracies" are forced then, to revision their triumphalist version of liberalism, when the whole world was theirs to conquer, to basically fascism and "liberalism in one bloc". There is no plan out of neoliberalism, there are no gibs in the horizon. They can only hope the faction of fascists they are building up in the west will keep whatever left opposition develops, contained.

Gamers.
We're a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did.
We'll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it's fun.
We'll spend most if not all of our free time min maxing the stats of a fictional character all to draw out a single extra point of damage per second.
Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same quests over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such gamer nirvana that they can literally play these games blindfolded.
Do these people have any idea how many controllers have been smashed, systems over heated, disks and carts destroyed 8n frustration? All to latter be referred to as bragging rights?
These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our media? We're already building a new one without them. They take our devs? Gamers aren't shy about throwing their money else where, or even making the games our selves. They think calling us racist, mysoginistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We've been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a shitty head set. They picked a fight against a group that's already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they've threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can't is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex.
Gamers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You're not special, you're not original, you're not the first; this is just another boss fight.

this is exactly what we need, some gay Mosley moment where a major party has its vote split
President Donald Trump pushed back at criticism for his use of an anti-Semitic term during his Iowa rally, saying he had 'never heard it that way
He used the term while referencing unscrupulous bankers as he touted the impacts of his 'big, beautiful bill,' which Congress had approved hours earlier.
'No death tax. No estate tax. No going to the banks and borrowing from, in some cases, a fine banker — and in some cases, shylocks and bad people,' he said.
He sparked outrage over his use of 'shylocks,' which refers to loan sharks and is considered offensive, playing on stereotypes of Jews and money.
Trump said he had never heard it used that way.
'I've never heard it that way,' he told reporters at Joint Base Andrews after his rally.
'The meaning of Shylock is somebody that's a money lender at high rates. You view it differently. I've never heard that.'

https://nationbuilder.com/how_jill_stein_raised_2m_and_grew_her_supporters_by_over_250_in_2024Elon musk net worth is 400 billion dollars
Around 40 percent of Americans say they would back Elon Musk if he created a third political party to challenge the Republicans and the Democrats, a new poll has found.
According to the survey, conducted by Quantus Insights, 14 percent of voters said they would be "very likely" to support or vote for a political body launched by the Tesla boss, while 26 percent said they would be "somewhat likely."
Another 38 percent said they were not likely to support Musk, while 22 percent replied that they were “unsure.”
Quantus Insights’ poll was conducted between June 30-July 2 among 1,000 registered voters, with a 3 percent margin of error.
The pollster highlighted that, though 40 percent of respondents were in favor of Musk’s hypothetical third party, the result was unsurprising. In 2023, a Gallup poll found that 63 percent of Americans supported an alternative third political party.
The survey also revealed clear divides across party lines and demographics, with male Republicans appearing to be the most interested in a party launched by Musk.
Some 23 percent of Republican men said they are "very likely" and 34 percent say "somewhat likely" to back the America Party, and over half (57 percent) expressed openness to Musk as a political brand.
Nearly half (47 percent) of independent men said they were likely to support the America Party
Quantus noted that “skepticism remains high among older and Democratic voters but the signal is clear: a large slice of the electorate is open to something new, something disruptive.”
“This is not about Musk. It’s about the growing sense that the existing order is failing to represent the country as it truly is, or wants to be,” the pollster said

MARSEILLE, France — The first American academics fleeing Donald Trump's America for France have arrived.
Aix-Marseille University last week introduced eight U.S.-based researchers who were in the final stage of joining the institution's “Safe Place for Science" program, which aims to woo researchers who have experienced or fear funding cuts under the Trump administration. AMU offers the promise of a brighter future in the sun-drenched Mediterranean port city.
While both France and the European Union have launched multimillion-euro plans to woo researchers across the pond since Trump assumed the U.S. presidency in January, AMU's initiative was the first of its kind in the country — meaning the eight researchers who were welcomed are the first academic refugees planning to trade the United States for France
Speaking from the university’s hilltop astrophysics lab, AMU President Eric Berton likened the situation to that of European academics who fled persecution by Nazi Germany both before and during World War II.
“What is at play here today is not unrelated to another dark period of our history,” he said.
Berton and former French President François Hollande have pushed for the creation of a "scientific refugee" status.
As most of the researchers who attended Berton’s speech had not yet signed their contracts with AMU, they requested anonymity to protect their stateside research positions if they ended up not being admitted or declining the offer.
Among the applicants were James, a climate scientist at a reputable research university, and his wife, who studies the intersection of judicial systems and democracies. James said they had applied because they were “working in areas which are targeted” and could be prone to funding cuts.
Brian Sandberg, a professor of history at Northern Illinois University who researches climate change during the Little Ice Age period from roughly the 16th to 19th centuries, had already been set to spend a year in Marseille as a visiting professor. While taking part in a workshop in the city in March, he learned of AMU’s program and decided to apply.
"The entire system of research and the entire education in the United States is really under attack," Sandberg said.
AMU said 298 researchers from prestigious universities including Stanford and Yale had applied, despite the university's lack of name recognition outside France compared to some of its Parisian counterparts. Berton said the high volume of applicants spoke to the "urgency" of the situation across the Atlantic
The school has already put up €15 million to pay for the program and is lobbying the French government to match that figure, which would enable it to nearly double its planned hires from 20 to 39.
Still, moving to a new country where English is not the official language a big step. There's also the issue of salaries, which are lower for academics in France than in the United States, and the fact there's less money for research.
An early-career biological anthropologist said she was still awaiting contract details from AMU before putting pen to paper because of salary discrepancies, though she took comfort in the fact that the cost of living is lower in France — especially considering that education for her two children, who she said were eager to settle in Marseille, would be free.
The university’s president insisted that participants in the “Safe Place for Science” program would be paid the same wages as French researchers. The statement sought to appease concerns within France’s academic community that money would now be focused on drawing U.S. scientists whereas local researchers have long complained of insufficient funding.
But the biological anthropologist said a more carefree life could compensate for a lower salary. "There’ll be a lot less stress as a whole, politically, academically," she reflected.

>>2370640That's only one failure and it doesn't matter if Elon is personally popular. Just look at the vampire Thiel for how it's done. And while Elon is more erratic and less level headed he can throw way more money at it and hire people to actually deal with it for him.

My neighbors are all very angry with me as I go around yelling at them that their fireworks might be bioengineered weapons from Fort Detrick meant to send airborn toxins everywhere, or that their hot dogs and hamburgers might be bioweapons because the government knows that only non-Muslims eat those and it would be therefore very easy to frame Iranians in a false flag utilizing haram meats.
They are all very annoyed with me but it is a small price to pay. I keep reminding them that WW2 started with a false flag called Operation Himmler and that the burger reich might start WW3 against Iran using similar tactics.
One of them is calling the police on me right now. she is clearly a glowie.
Alligator Auschwitz, Alligator Alcatraz — it's all over the headlines, but it's not really anything new. That is the sad truth of the matter. This is not new.
Does anyone remember reports of his directives ordering forced sterilizations happening to women in ICE detention centers, as they're called? Surgeons removing body parts and organs from women to prevent them from having children. This has been confirmed to have happened. When it happened, do you think it stopped? When it happened, do you think there was an investigation? No. Of course not.
The Alligator Alcatraz story is mostly spectacle manifesting itself. This is continuous. It has not stopped. This policy has been in place for over a decade. These internment sites are ramping up. It has been happening. It will continue to happen.
When we see drones used to survey and mark people as kill targets in Gaza, when we see aid distribution centers used as kill boxes, and when members of our police departments and immigrant enforcement agencies travel to Israel to train with those who are conducting mass killings in Gaza — using weapons created and sent by America — we must ask: how long until that violence comes home? How long until the fact that it has already arrived is noticed?
Because it has already arrived. How many people will die in the swamps of Florida in this concentration camp? People will die. They are building a concentration camp with funds relocated from emergency hurricane support funds. Your rural hospital is shutting down while they're laying concrete for internment sites. That's the tradeoff. That's imperialism.
We are already living in occupied territory. They are preparing for repression, accelerating even, preparing to detain tens of thousands, potentially hundreds of thousands, and send them to these camps and black sites outside the country.
We must ask ourselves in our communities: are we prepared for that level of repression? Because it will start with immigrants, then move up the chain — political dissenters, queer people, homeless people, the poor, the needy. Anyone who can be labeled a problem will be "solved" with their own final solution.
These are the hard questions we must ask. We are living in unprecedented times. We have been living in unprecedented times. We are only just now starting to see the shape of the noose.
This is why gatherings like the July 4th event HOUDINI Magazine helped organize is so important. All profits from the event will go to two organizations: a local Florida group fighting for immigrant rights, and the Palestinian Red Crescent Society. The struggles in Palestine are the struggles in our own communities against ICE. When politicians talk about stripping healthcare from the poorest among us while gorging themselves at the trough like greedy pigs, feasting on the bones and bile of the colonized abroad, understand — that's by design. That's imperialism at work.
They've already priced out the value of killing in Gaza. The value of denying healthcare. The value of abducting immigrants. The value of closing hospitals. The value of social murder. It's all on the ledger. And the profits from this event will go to those who resist that — to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society, real medics who've been mercilessly targeted by the imperialist regime.
HOUDINI Magazine reached across every available line to get the word out. Tampa DSA. Lakeland Mutual Aid. Miami PSL. We extended our hand to every socialist-adjacent organization in the region. Because common ground must be built. Space for cooperation must be carved out.
A United Front must be formed. We must work to strengthen our communities. We must work to rebuke imperialism. We must defeat the anti-life regime.
>>2370475>>2370625I’m guessing it’s some barely masked contempt for their nephews/grandkids. Pretty sure Tucker Carlson had an interview where he talked about one of his nephews being listless and smoking weed.
We’ve basically got a lost generation of men in America at this point. The social expectations of what being a man means are incompatible with current economic circumstances. Shit, if they do streaming then staying in their parents’ basements and playing video games all day might actually be a smarter career choice than joining the labor force—just look at how much money Asmongold makes. I was telling a coworker it’s crazy how we’ve got people here working two jobs just to make ends meet, and we’re probably making less than some dude whose career is reacting to movie trailers and ugly crying, maybe selling t shirts for $50 with some incomprehensible inside joke like “I frimbled my snixnip”
Seriously, it used to be a man could clock in 5 days in a grocery store and afford a home. Now we’ve got college grads working double duty to barely make rent while the guys who would’ve been Boo Radley motherfuckers in a previous life are living in McMansions.

>>2370706No, the bubble wont pop. Most of the debt is owned by the government. Loan payments will just be taken through wage garnishments if it's defaulted on.

>>2370853>>2370857I'm the broken but you can't answer a single question. I'm repeating my question not because I'm a "bot" but to show everyone reading how slippery you are. You're afraid outright to admit your anti-materialist worldview: that the problem is merely "ZOG" and not capitalism or imperialism.
since you want me to argue with khamenei and not you because you are the bot who defers to the authority of tweets from state leaders instead of forming your own thoughts I will say this: the US was imperialist before it was zionist, it has been imperialist since the monroe doctrine, before the founder of zionism Theodor Herzl was born, and if zionism dies (GOOD!!!!!!!!!!! i am not a zionist even though for some reason you probably imagine that I am) the US will still be imperialist. Because zionism is merely a byproduct of capitalist imperialism and ethnonationalism.
The problem is capitalism. the problem is imperialism. the problem is ethnonationalism, of which zionism is merely a form.
I have answered your questions now answer mine:
If the problem isn't US imperialism, what is? >>2370713To me it’s just wanting to work

Well there ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee! we're all gonna die
Well, come on generals, let's move fast
Your big chance has come at last
Now you can go out and get those reds
'Cause the only good commie is the one that's dead
And you know that peace can only be won
When we've blown 'em all to kingdom come
And it's one, two, three
What are we fighting for?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn
Next stop is Vietnam
And it's five, six, seven
Open up the pearly gates
Well there ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee! we're all gonna die
Come on Wall Street, don't be slow
Why man, this is war au-go-go
There's plenty good money to be made
By supplying the Army with the tools of its trade
But just hope and pray that if they drop the bomb
They drop it on the Viet Cong
And it's one, two, three
What are we fighting for?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn
Next stop is Vietnam
And it's five, six, seven
Open up the pearly gates
Well there ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee! we're all gonna die
Come on mothers throughout the land
Pack your boys off to Vietnam
Come on fathers, and don't hesitate
To send your sons off before it's too late
And you can be the first ones in your block
To have your boy come home in a box
And it's one, two, three
What are we fighting for?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn
Next stop is Vietnam
And it's five, six, seven
Open up the pearly gates
Well there ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee! we're all gonna die

>>2370740>ventilate What an odd coincidence. I just reached a passage in Against the Day when too anarchistically-inclined brothers are debating whether to "ventilate" the industrialist responsible for their father's death.
Anyhow, is there really no way to teach people the critical thinking skills required to examine structural/systemic logics instead of being demographic spergazoids?

<Trump’s Threat to Deport Mamdani Isn’t a JokeNew York election now an ominous matter of “national security
>Donald Trump has elevated Zohran Mamdani’s run for mayor to being a matter of national security, and his administration is working to concoct a premise by which he and other naturalized Americans can be stripped of their citizenship.
>What applies to Mamdani also applies to Elon Musk, whom Trump has also implied he might deport. But it’s not a mere sideshow in the president’s stream of consciousness.
>Last month, according to an internal memo, the Justice Department ordered its attorneys to “prioritize and maximally pursue denaturalization proceedings” — the process by which naturalized Americans can be stripped of their citizenship — not for fraud or criminality, but “against individuals who pose a potential danger to national security.”
>It’s a limitless phrase — national security — and it is one that has not been applied to strip someone of their citizenship. It is also not synonymous with terrorism, treason, or even subversion, all causes, according to the feds, to denaturalize and deport individuals. It stands alone, a vague and dangerous phrase that floats above all else.
>Denaturalization, while rare, does sometimes happen. But even in cases such as terrorism or the prior commission of war crimes, those involved have their day in court. “National security,” on the other hand, is solely an unchallengeable assertion, one that courts can’t really substantively question (except on some narrow procedural grounds). That’s what makes its weaponization against the American people so appalling.
>Small surprise, then, that there’s no precedent for what the administration wants here. Even during the McCarthy era, where anti-communist sentiments led to government investigations, blacklisting, and job dismissals, it did not fundamentally alter the legal framework surrounding citizenship. The presence of Nazi sympathizers in the U.S., World War II, and then the war on communism saw the federal government attempting to broaden (then unheard of) “national security” arguments based on disloyalty and subversive activities.
>Now, Trump has invoked the C-word in his remarks on Mamdani.
<“I’m not going to let this Communist Lunatic destroy New York,” Trump said of Mamdani this week. “Many people are saying he’s here unlawfully; we will examine everything,” he continued.
<“We will have a Communist in the for the first time — really a pure, true Communist,” the president said, again calling him "a 100% Communist Lunatic."
>‘Communist’ is a favorite epithet of the right on social media, but it also appeared in a Homeland Security Advisory Committee meeting this week.
>In an exchange between Rudy Giuliani (a new committee member) and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, the former Mayor of New York and top Trump boot-licker said he’d rather take current mayor Eric Adams over Mamdani.
>“I don’t even care if he’s a crook — he’s not a communist,” Rudy said.
>“Yeah, he’s not a communist,” Noem replied.
>Giuliani continued, stressing how worried he thought President Trump seemed about Mamdani, whom he branded “a combination of an Islamic extremist and a communist.” Giuliani said:
<“I saw the president yesterday talking about it, and you could see he was, he was, like, reminding himself of how bad it was when he said, when he said almost like a question and then an answer.
<This is the first time we've had a real communist run it. And you could see his face was white. This is the first time we had a real-time —Holy shit — Yeah. The guy's really as bad as it looks, it's not exaggerated. And the old man is like that. Yeah. Really bad. I mean, we got a, somehow we got a combination of an Islamic extremist and a communist.”
>Mamdani, for his part, when asked if he was a communist, laughed and said, “I am not.”
>There is no doubt in my mind that ultimately the communist smear (and any federal campaign) will only strengthen Mamdani’s attractiveness to his voter base, but it’s still worrying.
>On the ideological spectrum from Obama to Trump, the magic wand of national security has been waved to apply to extrajudicial actions (from torture to drone assassinations), but it is also a magic wand used to justify excessive secrecy and squelch any sort of debate about the military or the intelligence establishment. Homeland security similarly is employed by an executive in a similar way, hoping that invoking the phrase suppresses oversight or citizen involvement.
>Trump is fond of saying that border enforcement is critical because you either have a country or you don’t. Well, I feel the same way about citizenship. Either you have citizenship or you don’t. >>2371072The proletariat is something we all agree on, except for weirdo third worldists who want workers to die.
What the American left can't agree on is what is a "productive worker".
>>2371081hard but i have to agree, the only solution to right wingers is to beat the shit outta of them and make sure america first magats get extirpated from society.
same with green army "peasants" on russian civil war or "proletarian wage workers" that joined denikin or savinkov, you do have time to negotiate with liberals but reactionaries are a lost cause

>For what it is worth, my sense as someone who worked as a federal scientist for 35 years is that the rationale is mainly about control. Science at its core is about following where the facts and evidence take you, even if you do not like where you end up. While I certainly encountered some situations in my career where I observed political pressure regarding science, in my experience for the most part federal scientists have not only been allowed, but encouraged, to “follow the science.” The inherent problem with following the science in government, though, is that the science (and, in many ways, the scientists) are then what control decisions and outcomes, not politics. For whatever reason, we seem to have reached a point now where political control is much more important than enabling science, even when public safety is the goal of said science. Hey there, people, I'm Bobby Brown
They say I'm the cutest boy in town
My car is fast, my teeth is shiney
I tell all the girls they can kiss my heinie
Here I am at a famous school
I'm dressin' sharp and I'm actin' cool
I got a cheerleader here wants to help with my paper
Let her do all the work and maybe later I'll rape her
Oh God, I am the American dream
I do not think I'm too extreme
An' I'm a handsome son of a bitch
I'm gonna get a good job and be real rich
(Get a good, get a good, get a good, get a good job)
Women's Liberation
Came creepin' all across the nation
I tell you people, I was not ready
When I fucked this dyke by the name of Freddie
She made a little speech then
Aw, she tried to make me say when
She had my balls in a vise, but she left the dick
I guess it's still hooked on, but now it shoots too quick
Oh God, I am the American dream
But now I smell like Vaseline
An' I'm a miserable son of a bitch
Am I a boy or a lady? I don't know which
(I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder)
So I went out and bought me a leisure suit
I jingle my change, but I'm still kinda cute
Got a job doin' radio promo
And none of the jocks can even tell I'm a homo
Eventually me and a friend
Sorta of drifted along into S&M
I can take about an hour on the tower of power
As long as I gets a little golden shower
Oh God, I am the American dream
With a spindle up my butt 'til it makes me scream
An' I'll do anything to get ahead
I lay awake nights sayin,' "Thank you, Fred!"
Oh God, oh God, I'm so fantastic
Thanks to Freddie, I'm a sexual spastic
And my name is Bobby Brown
Watch me now, I'm goin' down

https://arxiv.org/abs/2506.08872This study explores the neural and behavioral consequences of LLM-assisted essay writing. Participants were divided into three groups: LLM, Search Engine, and Brain-only (no tools). Each completed three sessions under the same condition. In a fourth session, LLM users were reassigned to Brain-only group (LLM-to-Brain), and Brain-only users were reassigned to LLM condition (Brain-to-LLM). A total of 54 participants took part in Sessions 1-3, with 18 completing session 4. We used electroencephalography (EEG) to assess cognitive load during essay writing, and analyzed essays using NLP, as well as scoring essays with the help from human teachers and an AI judge. Across groups, NERs, n-gram patterns, and topic ontology showed within-group homogeneity. EEG revealed significant differences in brain connectivity: Brain-only participants exhibited the strongest, most distributed networks; Search Engine users showed moderate engagement; and LLM users displayed the weakest connectivity. Cognitive activity scaled down in relation to external tool use. In session 4, LLM-to-Brain participants showed reduced alpha and beta connectivity, indicating under-engagement. Brain-to-LLM users exhibited higher memory recall and activation of occipito-parietal and prefrontal areas, similar to Search Engine users. Self-reported ownership of essays was the lowest in the LLM group and the highest in the Brain-only group. LLM users also struggled to accurately quote their own work. While LLMs offer immediate convenience, our findings highlight potential cognitive costs. Over four months, LLM users consistently underperformed at neural, linguistic, and behavioral levels. These results raise concerns about the long-term educational implications of LLM reliance and underscore the need for deeper inquiry into AI's role in learning.

It's not a confidence or skill thing, I'm a talented public speaker. It's a "not an expert, no right to speak" thing.
>>2371367ngl hate the other trotskyite-cliffite org in town far more than the stalinist or anarchist orgs. we had a port protest re: zionist regime shipments and the only orgs that had members in the port workers were us (cliffites, nominally) and the CPUSA. Without them, they might have thought we were stopping them getting to work and paid, our union connections were able to explain why we were protesting and that they still get paid if we make it "unsafe" for them to commune, so the workers either sided with us or stayed neutral instead of hating us.
That's why I say, don't just pick an org for their ideology or size. Pick them for their real power.
>>2371379>I race a lot and have poor vocalisationThat's the default setting. These can be overcome with techniques and practice, like you said, you are already able to regulate them, and I think it would be worth seeing if more experience turns that conscious effort into instinct. And I don't mean experience as in just jumping onto a damn stage, even just practicing these skills in regular conversation (although there are also public speaking courses where one could practice public speaking among strangers where it's ok to fail)
I know, I know, it's far more easily said than done, But my point is that these are obstacles which can probably be overcome.
>>2371381I've seen this done, it does work, but on the other hand it's so so much better when people learn basic techniques like how to not sound like you're reading, looking up at the crowd sometimes, projecting voice so people can hear well (or softening plosives with a microphone).
For me, we had to do a small spoken assignment in school once a year or two (pre-prepared 5 minute speech instead of written) and while we mostly hated it at the time, I'm really glad we did it.
From Dead Domain's recent video about ICE protests, 26 minutes onwards:
https://youtube.com/watch?v=lb91cMN0pecThey had a source inside the National Guard (?) speak to them about how many in the guard thought it was weird and unwarranted them being there, and how the source believes that their presence was inherently an escalation which was dangerous to the police. It also took resources away from life-saving firefighting efforts in Cali (rattlesnake program).
