Autism, MAHA, and the Face of God

Revealing their core eugenic ideology,” NYT’s Polgreen writes, “President Trump and his supporters ... are obsessed with contamination and contagion, seeing it as the site of despicable difference. Again and again, they deploy metaphors of disease and disfigurement.”

Did anyone ever spit on a returning Vietnam vet? Impossible to say. But, researcher Jerry Lembcke could not find a single recorded incident. Remember that this weekend, when the Trump/Bondi regime claims *their* acts of violence are in response to some protester’s loogie.

Sit with this, an ad in the April 1901 edition of Physical Culture, published by Bernarr MacFadden. If it seems familiar, it’s because, in the age of Trump, the quacks are back. And this time they’re in charge!

The casual rise of eugenics and breathless, credulous declarations of innate superiority of some people over others even among self-styled centrists is one of the creepiest and most alarming trends I’ve seen in a while.
Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

People should familiarize themselves with transhumanism. Musk believes that in order to be interplanetary he has to take over medical research to focus on merging us with computers. It isn't backed by science & crosses all the boundaries of ethics. So he is purging pub health scientists
