10. Part 7c: Profile of a Neurotic Nimby (Acceptable - mostly)

I like these people. I am not a misanthrope! Not entirely and don’t use loose associations but have a not loathesome human parse if you pushy idiots. Endless opaque bull crap that would require an entire and thoroughly pointless degree just to parse it:

The shamefulness of a pardon for Dr Fauci. The attacks on Dr. Fauci along with the love for this rogue’s gallery of creeps (many of whom now seem to think turning down Epstein is some sort of act of heroism) is why American science with its deep ties in industry and defense contracting has serious issues and I could never do the cult version of community:

Science communication!!!! I learnt creep cancellation math from this piece. These societies are hard to interpret but I read this as a suggestion that Jan 6 Trumper Creep Palathingal or Shalab Kumar or Ragy Thomas should be fed to some sort of GOP snake and the whole thing would generally work out as pest control for society broadly. All this transactionalism and eclectic mixes or whatever “syncretic” is gives one ideas:

Someone give these creeps a medal (they said no to Epstein!!!! That is the fucking bare minimum. Question is why did Epstein contact them in the first place? My mentor or friends would never be anywhere near any of this BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT CREEPS. I don’t go to the trouble of spending my resources and time updating an old paper to forgive trashy creeps who don’t do the minimum and scramble around trying to find a good reputation management firm that is “creative”. At least my behavior is zealotry and a touch of ocd but not about reputation. And okay that is creative speculation, but I stand my it - the creative reputation management part):

Context and human nature:
Just as you are quite happy to forgive the creeps who make my life hell over here, I am totally cool with forgiving the creeps who make your lives hell over there! But you don’t make a nuisance of yourselves to me wherever I go just because I cannot join a cult. I promise that the creeps here who used my home and their ties over there will all face harassment, misconduct and malpractice allegations. I am also totally cool with creeps who are annoying someone else.
It’s universal! Human nature! I too have “empathy” for your creeps! Well okay I don’t. But they are over there. Won’t someone think of the Indian male creep? You already do! I don’t have to!

Marijuana Legalization without methods borrowed from gang rapists, Harry Harlow, Ken Suomi etc (Beaglegate was bullshit but Reefer Madness and creeps like V.S.Ramachandran, R.K.Pachauri, Padmanabhan Pradeep, Kanury Rao, Walter Lewin, Lawrence Krauss, Geoff Marcy, the MIT Media Lab are very real. As is the complete disrespect for women who are not girlbosses, soccer moms and live solitarily outside cults without madeup bullshit “community”)

https://norml.org/

Witness doomed attempts to exploit a protective allele against paranpid schizophrenia while slandering, testing, demeaning, coercing, bullying, dismissing & harassing the unwilling human research subject/complainant to permit exploitation.


Zero forgiveness. Fuck this shit. I lost my mom and 16 years. They can all go fo prison (especially the entire crew in or from india) or ori save for my best friend, ex, my postdoc mentor, my onc or unconnected doctors outside psych, a few shrinks from the past, my med mj co/doctors (symbiosis not endless parasitism and misogyny and disregard for women’s rights plus all around ubiquitous hyper regard for creep rights and for the creepy women who enable creeps and attack my sanity and credibility or non bot status. The mangled tech is the fault of humans as is the pointless social engineering and the tests. This was only gonna go one way. I will be state’s witness. A pox on all.)

I said I did not want anything to do with any of this in the October of 2011 when what I thought was a routine job turned out to be a creepy Si Valley/Defense contracting hellscape. It was more diffuse creepiness than Epstein or an outright grope and I never join groups. I rely on the state and laws not communities of humans because I wasn’t raised in a cult.

I don’t go around forcing my views on anyone and I don’t want to be in a cult filled with an ever increasing number of self serving douches with their own agendas and absolutely no self awareness.

I am grateful to Dave Allsopp/elad/earlier Skinner and MIRT/DU generally for having me around. I am an unpleasant woman to have around a lot of the time as I am mot socialized for cults labeled community and don’t kowtow to meninist mobs and tried hard to conceal it and it isn’t working. These people are all stupid and self serving and it is torture to have to “predict” their thoughts and it hurts their “feelings” when the “predictions” are overly astute. That is where the paranoia about “false allegations!!!!!!” comes in.
“I didn’t take any money from Epstein!!! I have ethics!!!”
You didn’t!!! Omg you are so special.
Hell is these people.

This whole community business is some sort of attack on the sanest parts of modern life. That is why we have sane laws and systems not a collection of tribals warlords shilling dubious garbage.

George Carlin really was brilliant. It is never individuals. It is the cults they form. Society establishes some norms the work over long periods. Abortion access, sterilisation access, birth control and contraception. Separation of church and state. The fourth amendment.

And then some creeps come along shilling “open science” except closed off to people who don’t blow creeps and aren’t polite. Mediocre and rude people have rights too. Bloody cultists.

A very sane and relatable animal without any aspirations of ruling the world and merely tries to exist around this dominant ape species without kowtowing to those ..them or behaving like this disgraceful pack animals dogs who betray animal kingdom to suck up to apes.

Humans like me cannot process mobs and cults. This is not Thatcherite atomization. Yeesh.

Prof Steve Chu on Pyramid schemes. He is almost entirely sane for a Stanford professor. Hey Prof Chu - you are a pretty honestly tough scientist. How about being tough with that series of Darwin Awards candidates shilling lie detectors, creeperdars or rather gaydars (I doubt that Stanford acknowledges the existence of male creeps - that’s most of the community!) etc as a pointless cottage industry of worthless drivel?:

Prof Lecun struck me as less likely to police my bad jokes and shove me into quarantine as a malicious bot. Or worse some sort of foul child.
I just had no idea we were all on such close terms you fugly twats.

I think you overestimate the limits of anti-Trump sentiment devoid of anything deeper. David Brooks is anti-Trump now. That is a bare minimum not “omg we are like besties you random loathesome douche”. Artistic license!!!!!
If that total creep Louis C K can be “rehabilitated”, I get to say twats.

Bah..humbug. I can’t stand any of you.

I DIY my own mental health after my mom’s death. She had an excellent oncologist and oncology nurse and was recovering but fell victim to greed and avarice locally I am pretty sure. I am kept out of many loops so that is my guess.

I have managed on medical marijuana and modafinil as the local services are not good. Not an ad since I don’t get kickbacks from anything or anyone. But these two medical mj cos and my doctors via those made my life less shitty. That’s a functioning, symbiotic relationship.
I am very wary of conflicts of interest as a formerly publicly funded scientist. But I am grateful to anyone who has an unpopular and disagreeable woman as a customer while working in grey areas. I avoid rubberstamps and pile on gaming and ai etc via Blackstone associated greedy hospitals and other such groups. A vegan lady who is really cool helped me recover my creep damaged sense of self after my mom’s death followed by daily harassment on my own street here in India. This isn’t problem with India or the US so much as with what passes for reality in these overpopulated, overcrowded hellscapes of misogynistic transactionalism w/o any concern for Earth, women or even any men who aren’t this douchey.
