verilux68··on Direct evidence of the use of multiple drugs in Bronze Age from human hair test
They are already available on street corners, snapchat, and the darkweb. With no authority to ensure what dosage the illicitly manufactured pressed-pills have.
verilux68··on The Pit, the Cabin, and the Dance Floor (2020)
This describes my life perfectly. I’ve been operating under the assumption this is a common part of the human experience that I just struggle with?
verilux68··on Much of the rise in autism is likely a statistical mirage
Hey there! I tried to google this but just found another one of your comments from a few months ago haha, any chance you could share some examples?
verilux68··on OP-1 field
How many of the people in this thread saying:

The OP-1 is only for rich techies. Musicians don’t use it.

Are folks who enjoy making music & who have tried the OP-1?

verilux68··on OP-1 field
What was your experience when you tried out the OP-1?
verilux68··on Does watching television trigger autism? (2007)
Interview with Sami Timimi where he touches on similar ideas concerning the validity of autism as a clinical diagnosis:

An interesting quote he ends with:

It pains me as a psychiatrist to say this, but as things stand I would recommend that you avoid seeing a psychiatrist. I know may great psychiatrists, but without personal recommendation, given the nature of current dominant models, you are putting your loved one in danger of being prescribed medications that may lead to some short term gain at the expense of long term enslavement to a 'chronic' disease model, addiction to difficult to come off meds and lack of empowerment to take control of finding a path for their own recovery.

verilux68··on Rules of Spycraft (2009) [pdf]
As useful today as it was when written. I found the conversational tone Allan Dulles writes with here engaging & the subject matter even more so.

For a good example of a relatively-modern day attempt at op-sec, that goes beyond a directional antennae and public wifi:

I'd be intrigued to find similar/more recent breakdowns if anyone has any links.
