Saturday.
My MIL is dying of lung cancer. It's hot her so quickly over the last six months. My medical condition is so different. Still terminal, but just slow.
The candidiasis is taking advantage of an immune deficiency caused by the pituitary being in a state of overdrive. As a result, it doesn't attack cells from the outside. It gets inside the cell and apoptifies out by running the Na/K pump in reverse.
In this way, the candidiasis min/maxes and consumes every bit of ATP it possibly can, maximizing energy consumption and thus it's own life.

Thursday. I just sat down in my recliner for the evening. Portfolio down a nice car in one day. Thanks Trump. Trust me when I say he's grifting this whole thing making a mint.
Tomorrow, I have the doplar test on my legs. I'm not sure if it will show the lack of circulation that I know exists. If I had to say, I would guess it will. I'm honestly not even sure what that would mean except more doctor visits. In the case it doesn't show anything, then I'll just have less tests in my immediate future.
These are my dogs. I wouldn't have made it this far without Oscar, the big guy in the back. He's 11 or 12 (rescue) . Auggie is almost 4.

This is simply a tax problem. This is how democracies work. They vote to give money to the rich. The evidence is clear. There is no reason that bitcoin fixes wealth concentration. It is a one time redistribution of wealth. You'll have the exact same problems if wealth is allowed to concentrate. Eventually, the people revolt and you get either a dictator or pure spcialism. Wouldn't it be better to just fix the tax system?
The top ten percent have $114 trillion in wealth. Ten percent of that is $33,000 per person in the USA. 30% pays off every cent of debt.

This year, despite whatever DOGE and Trump may do, the US government will borrow an additional $7,000 or so for each person in the country...at a rate of at least 4%.
Think you or anyone will ever pay it off with taxes? Or the other $100k or so they owe for each person?
Those extra dollars end up in assets. Stocks, bonds, real estate - these all have limits on how much people will pay for them. Hard money, gold and bitcoin, really have no limit. They absorb the extra liquidity.

This day has been harder. Invictus.
Ernest Hemingway once wrote: The hardest lesson I have had to learn as an adult is the relentless need to keep going, no matter how broken I feel inside.
This truth is raw, unfiltered, and painfully universal. Life doesn’t stop when we are exhausted, when our hearts are shattered, or when our spirits feel threadbare. It keeps moving—unyielding, indifferent—demanding that we keep pace. There is no pause button for grief, no intermission for healing, no moment where the world gently steps aside and allows us to mend. Life expects us to carry our burdens in silence, to push forward despite the weight of all we carry inside.
The cruelest part? No one really prepares us for this. As children, we are fed stories of resilience wrapped in neat, hopeful endings—tales where pain has purpose and every storm clears to reveal a bright horizon. But adulthood strips away those comforting illusions. It teaches us that survival is rarely poetic. More often than not, it’s about showing up when you’d rather disappear, smiling through pain no one sees, and carrying on despite feeling like you're unraveling from the inside out.
And yet, somehow, we persevere. That’s the quiet miracle of being human. Even when life is relentless, even when hope feels distant, we keep moving. We stumble, we break, we fall to our knees—but we get up. And in doing so, we uncover a strength we never knew we had. We learn to comfort ourselves in the ways we wish others would. We become the voice of reassurance we once searched for. Slowly, we realize that resilience isn’t always about grand acts of bravery; sometimes, it’s just a whisper—“Keep going.”
Yes, it’s exhausting. Yes, it’s unfair. And yes, there are days when the weight of it all feels unbearable. But every small step forward is proof that we haven’t given up. That we are still fighting, still holding on, still refusing to let the darkness consume us. That quiet defiance—choosing to exist, to try, to hope—is the bravest thing we can do.

Everything has a cost.
If you truly think NASA was not worth the cost, you really have no idea what it has accomplished.
Think of all the impacts it has made from tech to materials, to science, to defense, and even to movies. Thinking of it like an expense account is incredibly short-sighed.
That's a lot of progress in other areas, a lot of jobs in other areas, national pride and purpose.

So, today, I'm confident saying I'm in my last week. I would put my confidence at 80%. If I moved that to two weeks, my confidence is 100%.
It is so strange. My mind is perfectly clear. The article I originally read that detailed what I would go through if I implemented the treatment was so accurate.
I think I have one painful period coming up in the next few days, then a last brief respite from that new pain.
My bowels have slowed to a stop. My stomach still has circulation, but the end of that week be the last painful period.
Physiologically, so many things are altered or modulated. Trying to explain where I am right now is not possible without understanding all the changes that have led up to making now possible.
Terminal Onset Diabetes insipidus with Candidiasis (majeure), that was the name of my condition in the article.
I'm really glad I have a place to put this where it exists on decentralized protocol.
Thank you, Nostr.

Sure to my illness, I've had periods of seriously weird symptoms over three decades.
One example is that there have been times of increased mental focus and times where I couldn't solve coding problems I knew I should be able to solve.
Essentially all of these last three years have been the increased mental focus. The period right before that was much different. It was a symptom of my heart weakening. My heart is rather unique due to what originally caused my condition.

February 7, 2025 (Friday)
Maya Miller of the New York Times reported today that the congressional phone system has been jammed with tens of millions of calls from outraged constituents contacting their representatives to demand that they stand against President Donald Trump and his sidekick Elon Musk as they unilaterally dismantle the United States government and gain access to Americans’ private information. The Senate phone system usually gets about 40 calls a minute; now it is up to 1,600.
On Wednesday, Nicole Lafond of Talking Points Memo reported that Senate Republicans were not especially concerned about Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency team rampaging through the federal government, figuring that Musk won’t last long and that the courts will eventually stop him. Today, Musk posted on X: “CFPB RIP,” with a tombstone emoji. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has recovered more than $17 billion for consumers from fraudulent or predatory practices since it began in 2011.
Trump seems willing to let Musk continue to run amok through the government while he becomes a figurehead. Today he posted on his social media site that he has fired the chair and members of the board of trustees of the Kennedy Center, saying they “do not share our Vision for a Golden Age in Arts and Culture.” He promised to announce a new board, “with an amazing Chairman, DONALD J. TRUMP!” “For the Kennedy Center, THE BEST IS YET TO COME!” he wrote.
U.S. District Judge Carl J. Nichols, who was appointed by Trump in 2019, is less impressed with the direction of the Trump administration. Today, he blocked it from placing more than 2,000 employees of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) on paid leave. Trump and his allies have claimed—without evidence—that USAID is corrupt, but Steven Lee Myers and Stuart A. Thompson of the New York Times reported today that the disinformation making those claims on social media posts, for example, comes from Russia.
Senator Angus King (I-ME) took his Republican colleagues to task yesterday for their willingness to overlook the Trump administration’s attack on the U.S. Constitution. King took the floor as the Senate was considering the confirmation of Christian Nationalist Russell Vought as director of the Office of Management and Budget. Vought, a key author of Project 2025, believes the powers of the president should be virtually unchecked.
King reminded his colleagues that they had taken an oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic” and noted that the Framers recognized there could be domestic enemies to the Constitution. “Our oath was not to the Republican Party, not to the Democratic Party, not to Joe Biden, not to Donald Trump,” King said, “but…to defend the Constitution.”
“And…right now—literally at this moment—that Constitution is under the most direct and consequential assault in our nation's history,” King said. “An assault not on a particular provision but on the essential structure of the document itself.”
Why do we have a Constitution, King asked. He read the Preamble and said: “There it is. There's the list—ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, ensure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.” But, he pointed out, there is a paradox: the essence of a government is to give it power, but that power can be abused to hurt the very citizens who granted it. “Who will guard the guardians?” King asked.
The Framers were “deep students of history and…human nature. And they had just won a lengthy and brutal war against the abuses inherent in concentrated governmental power,” King said. “The universal principle of human nature they understood was this: power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”
How did the Framers answer the question of who will guard the guardians? King explained that they built into our system regular elections to return the control of the government to the people on a regular basis. They also deliberately divided power between the different branches and levels of government.
“This is important,” King said. “The cumbersomeness, the slowness, the clumsiness is built into our system. The framers were so fearful of concentrated power that they designed a system that would be hard to operate. And the heart of it was the separation of power between various parts of the government. The whole idea, the whole idea was that no part of the government, no one person, no one institution had or could ever have a monopoly on power."
“Why? Because it's dangerous. History and human nature tells us that. This division of power, as annoying and inefficient as it can be,… is an essential feature of the system, not a bug. It's an essential, basic feature of the system, designed to protect our freedoms.”
The system of government “contrasts with the normal structure of a private business, where authority is purposefully concentrated, allowing swift and sometimes arbitrary action. But a private business does not have the army, and the President of the United States is not the CEO of America.”
In the government, “[p]ower is shared, principally between the president and this body, this Congress, both houses…. [T]his herky-jerkiness…this unwieldy structure is the whole idea,... designed to protect us from the…inevitable abuse of an authoritarian state.”
Vought, King said, is “one of the ringleaders of the assault on our Constitution. He believes in a presidency of virtually unlimited powers.” He “espouses the discredited and illegal theory that the president has the power to selectively impound funds appropriated by Congress, thereby rendering the famous power of the purse a nullity.” King said he was “really worried about…the structural implications for our freedom and government of what's happening here…. Project 2025 is nothing less than a blueprint for the shredding of the Constitution and the transition of our country to authoritarian rule. He's the last person who should be put in the job at the heart of the operation of our government.”
“[T]his isn't about politics. This isn't about policy. This isn't about Republican versus Democrat. This is about tampering with the structure of our government, which will ultimately undermine its ability to protect the freedom of our citizens. If our defense of the Constitution is gone, there's nothing left to us.”
King asked his Republican colleagues to “say no to the undermining and destruction of our constitutional system.” “[A]re there no red lines?” he asked them. “Are there no limits?”
King looked at USAID and said: “The Constitution does not give to the President or his designee the power to extinguish a statutorily established agency. I can think of no greater violation of the strictures of the Constitution or usurpation of the power of this body. None. I can think of none. Shouldn't this be a red line?”
Trump’s “executive order freezing funding…selectively, for programs the administration doesn't like or understand” is, King said, “a fundamental violation of the whole idea of the Constitution, the separation of powers.” King said his “office is hearing calls every day, we can hardly handle the volume. This again, to underline, is a frontal assault of our power, your power, the power to decide where public funds should be spent. Isn't this an obvious red line? Isn't this an obvious limit?”
King turned to “the power seemingly assumed by DOGE to burrow into the Treasury's payment system” as well as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, with “zero oversight.” “Do these people have clearance?” King, who sits on the Senate Intelligence Committee asked. “Are the doors closed? Are they going to leave open doors into these? What are the opportunities for our adversaries to hack into the systems?... Remember, there's no transparency or oversight. Access to social security numbers seem to be in the mix. All the government's personnel files, personal financial data, potentially everyone's tax returns and medical records. That can't be good…. That's data that should be protected with the highest level of security and consideration of Americans' privacy. And we don't know who these people are. We don't know what they're taking out with them. We don't know whether they're walking out with laptops or thumb drives. We don't know whether they're leaving back doors into the system. There is literally no oversight. The government of the United States is not a private company. It is fundamentally at odds with how this system is supposed to work.”
“Shouldn't this be an easy red line?” he asked.
“[W]e're experiencing in real time exactly what the framers most feared. When you clear away the smoke, clear away the DOGE, the executive orders, foreign policy pronouncements, more fundamentally what's happening is the shredding of the constitutional structure itself. And we have a profound responsibility…to stop it.”
King’s appeal to principle and the U.S. Constitution did not convince his Republican colleagues, who confirmed Vought.
But today, Illinois governor J.B. Pritzker took a different approach, trolling Trump’s claim that the Gulf of Mexico would now be called “the Gulf of America.” Standing behind a lectern and flanked by flags of the United States and Illinois, Pritzker solemnly declared he was about to make an important announcement.
“The world’s finest geographers, experts who study the Earth’s natural environment, have concluded a decades-long council and determined that a Great Lake deserves to be named after a great state. So today, I’m issuing a proclamation declaring that hereinafter Lake Michigan shall be known as Lake Illinois. The proclamation has been forwarded to Google to ensure the world’s maps reflect this momentous change. In addition, the recent announcement that to protect the homeland, the United States will be purchasing Greenland, Illinois will now be annexing Green Bay to protect itself against enemies foreign and domestic. I’ve also instructed my team to work diligently to prepare for an important announcement next week regarding the Mississippi River. God bless America, and Bear Down [a reference to the Chicago Bears football team].”

I think SMLR will have better yield, and MARA has a better MNAV, so, I'm in those too, but much smaller positions.

Well, first how, right?
They changed the Diagnostic code system (ICD) which is not uncommon. But in this case, the reclassified the original condition to something that appears similar when it can finally, after decades, be detected (despite being there the whole time and causing a lot of intermittent by years suffering and general weirdness on occasion).
What did they switch it to? Autoimmune Polyendocrine subcondition. Because, it looks like it enough to make a case for it.
Now why..
Because the treatment causes the condition I have that fundamentally alters some very basic human physiology. This is definitely true. Enough so it was looked at for super soldier programs. But, this basic change, while kinda making you a freak in some ways.. Able to do things a normal person couldn't as basically a side-effect of the treatment. But yielding a Terminal condition.

I can add that a fungus like candidiasis can basically think. It has an incredibly complex system of sensors from chemical to temperature and is trained to react differently to change pH and sugar levels through a specific set of circumstances can essentially take control of a human's endocrine system until it has apoptified every cell for ATP. It's nuts, but I have it.

Other than in my case, where science has been redacted for some idea of ethical medicine overruling scientific knowledge, I'm too analytical to believe anything other than those vaccines save lives and that's science.

Trump is a grifter. Count on him doing whatever is best for him with a sociopathic narcissit pathology. That means if he can make ten bucks or get a compliment from a foreign leader, he'll gladly burn down anyone without a second thought.

The meme is from people that lied, isn't that obvious. People lie on self reporting surveys, the smallest categories are the most influenced. As faculty at a med-school, I promise the doctors all get vaccinated. Where you see hesitancy is in the nurses, etc. People with doctorates are not RFK-types. I work with those PhDs and MDs. Do you?

Sorry, that's how I see it. Religion is an opiate, just as much as Netflix. I happen to enjoy Netflix, though, and I know what I see there is for entertainment. I didn't put myself in either group above. I don't do evil, I don't even lie. So, yes, I consider myself to be different than those that do, regardless of which group I'm in. For me, lies and evil are pretty intertwined and I don't have to believe in the supernatural to know it.

Self-reporting PhDs. Yeah right.

For the record, this doesn't fix anything and will crater the economy.
We import $3 trillion a year. Even at 25%, that doesn't really move the needle on our deficit and this will cut imports, so we won't even get that much.

Some people are predisposed to so much evil and violence they need a reason to be better. It's more predominant with lower IQ. The high IQ ones do their evil in private.

Religion is a social structure for expected behaviors that some people find more palatable by belief in a super powerful being. It's an opiate to keep people in line.
Some things are a net benefit to society but still not easy to choose. Like having more kids.

I find being a generalist you can almost assume some steps in the critical path are possible to get to your intrusive solution in your head and then go figure out how. It helps make very fast initial solutions.

The dollar is up about 8% since October. Add that to the bitcoin price and we are actually at a higher price than you might think in the US.

How long do you plan on holding bitcoin?
If it's long-term, MSTR will outperform it. Only a small percentage of bitcoiners understand that, even though it's obvious.
Not a very degen thing. Totally rational.

The lowest average annual return on Bitcoin for any for four year period is 28%.
Imagine if you put your 20% home downpayment down in bitcoin. On average, your downpayment would pay off the house in less than four years, but even if you picked the top of a cycle, it would be less than ten years.
This week, Proshares announced stock equity ETFs that will be hedged in bitcoin to prevent the loss of value from debasement.
The number of financial products like this will explode in the next few years. You may think, "bitcoin is 16 years old, I'm too late.". You aren't. It's just starting to get interesting.
