"One of the last conversations I had with Charlie Kirk was about the senseless murder of the Palestinians in Gaza. But like so many conversations with Charlie Kirk it went nowhere. The money was too sweet, swelling from an operation based on his couch to a $100M operation going into 2024.

"Had Kamala Harris won Charlie and I were planning a swift exit for him from politics after the 2024 election but he felt trapped and besides, he had a family to provide for. A running line throughout our conversation is how he didn’t want to become Ben Shapiro."

ChatGPT saved his life...

"In the quiet moments that followed my discharge, I've been thinking of something unsettling: just two years ago, before ChatGPT existed, I wouldn't have known to check my pupils. I tried googling "drooping eyelid on one side," as I would have done in the pre-ChatGPT era, and the results were so general as to be useless. None of the top hits mentioned checking pupil size as a diagnostic step.

"If not for AI's guidance, I very well might have suffered a stroke while sleeping alone in my apartment."

Eric Weinstein Exposes the Peer Review Scam: How COVID Blew Up a 50-Year Academic Lie

COVID didn’t just break public trust in science—it proved peer review is a manufactured myth, weaponized to gatekeep truth.

As Eric Weinstein reveals:

🔹 Peer review isn’t some ancient tradition. It wasn’t born with the Royal Society. Real scholarship shows it was invented between 1965-1975—a bureaucratic tool, not a gold standard.

🔹 The Medicare Act (1965) forced it into existence. Suddenly, the U.S. government had to pay for endless medical procedures. Doctors circled the wagons, creating "peer review" to police themselves—not ensure truth.

🔹 By 1975, the NSF weaponized it. Under pressure, they turned "peer review" into a shield—"Trust us, we’re checking each other!" No—they were protecting each other.

🔹 Robert Maxwell’s Pergamon Press monetized it. As journals boomed, "peer review" became fake validation for a prestige industry.

COVID was the smoking gun:

- The Lancet & Nature published fraud (Remember HCQ hysteria? Surgisphere?).

- "Peer-reviewed" journals became propaganda laundromats.

- The system rewarded groupthink, crushed dissent.

Weinstein’s verdict: Peer review is a modern con—a Potemkin process designed to simulate rigor while entrenching power.

Until we admit that, "trust the science" is just a demand for obedience.

Never Take the Ticket

It would appear that Charlie Kirk’s conscience was belatedly catching up to him. But developing a conscience has consequences for any ticket taker.
