This most likely isn't novel to many readers, but you had me genuinely laugh out loud when referencing the "Rogan cinematic universe".

On the topic of Meta disbanding its fact checking program, I agree free speech is good! The challenges on platforms like Meta's with free speech remind me a recent Economist article, "Assisted dying and the two concepts of liberty," namely the ideas of negative liberty "freedom from" and positive liberty "freedom to."

I think this could be helpful language for ideas like freedom of speech.

Thanks for paying more attention the study on memory formation outside of the brain! Quite certain I saw this too but was too lazy I guess to get into the details. This is at once fascinating on it's own, but the implications for what we can do to train certain types of cells to do, and the connection to the work that Levin has done, is certainly a reason to be optimistic.

Not so certain that I agree with you on Zuck - though.
