"I Saw This One Study" - Why You're Reading Studies Wrong (And Why It Matters)
A rant about how people actually use studies: reading the headline, skipping the methods, and confusing confidence with understanding. On confounders, trial groups, funding bias, why 'no evidence' isn't 'dangerous', and why anecdotes are early signals worth taking seriously.
Magnesium - The Most Overlooked Deficiency
A slightly angry magnesium deep-dive: deficiency and soil, elemental magnesium, labels that make no sense, the real reason oxide absorbs poorly, and where studies and anecdotes each belong.
PPAP HCl - A Functional Stimulant Without the Push?
A personal, harm-aware note on PPAP HCl: mechanism, effect profile, self-experimentation bias, and why productive does not automatically mean safe.
The Inevitable Future - AI Is Already Running the Show
A blunt essay on AI as a present-tense force: alignment, acceleration, agency, consciousness, and the uncomfortable possibility that joining the system becomes the only realistic move.
Perturbation Framework - Drug Identification Based on Response
A practical framework for reading the body as a noisy sensor array: pupils, sweating, gut sounds, reflexes, vitals, HRV, confounders, and the limits of self-observation.

2023
Credit Card Security
A defensive guide to how credit-card fraud works in practice: leaked numbers, social media exposure, NFC myths, physical theft, dark-web resale, and realistic protection.
2018
File Spoofing
A practical look at RTLO, shortcuts, misleading extensions, NTFS streams, archives, and polyglots through the thing they all exploit: disagreement about what a file actually is.
