Hey there,
Welcome to the latest edition of Weekly Crystallizations, a weekly newsletter where I highlight tweets (and occasional Telegram messages) from people making sense of what’s going on in the world today!
Personal update
Last weekend I participated in a mushroom ritual outside of Berlin. It was organized by the crew behind Our Future is Ancient and it was beautiful. I wrote some notes on the experience here in case you’re interested.
Crypto
One of the founders (Nikolai) of one of the biggest and most successful Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (Maker DAO) was found dead one day after posting the following tweet. It's worth noting that the conspiracy Nikolai points at here sounds an awful lot like the conspiracy surrounding Jeffrey Epstein, who was suicided.
Censorship
COVID
Orwell2024 holds that excess deaths are not driven by COVID or vaccines. Others have said most likely cause seems to be the pandemic response (lockdowns etc.)
The pandemic response
Russo-Ukrainian War
Translation: Important moment. Russia presents to the UN evidence of US involvement in the Bio-weapon complexes in Ukraine in violation of international agreements. Evidence of a threat to Russia is also presented. The UN now has to treat officially treat this case.
Misc
This seems like a good steelman for the argument that climate change is real and is caused by humans. Many different types of data are used here.
