There’s been a clamor for more info since my last post in a few different ways. First, as general health update, I have been following eat/drink/sleep, got 9 hours rest last night (couldn’t even stay up to end of OSU game as I was tired from too much science), did get all my prescriptions refilled after a third visit to walgreens, had my normal 900 mg Li2CO3 this morning. Not taking rescue medication, not worried myself that I’m doing a lot of typing and thinking and exploring music but am doing frequent check-ins because we need watchers watching the watchers of the watchers of the watchmen and my mind is still open and jumping at times.

Also, a non-goal of this series is to be an application to DOGE to volunteer time to solve efficiency problems. I don’t mind if they look at my writings or if others submit the work or post joke gifs of elon twitting “Dude needs meditation!”. You’re right I do! My first recommendation to prove DOGE is serious to me is to get rid of the penny. Or put RFID’s on pennies to track the homeless so when the weather gets bad we can shelter them for their own good. But probably just get rid of it. It’s been useless for forever and costs more to make than I can buy with it. So if you are struggling to find $2 trillion, I can probably find far more with my brain just not worth my time at your “salaries” in “mental wages” when you think firing all the people is the answer and can’t start with the penny, the clearest sign of waste in a ready for future currency world.

Finally, at 11:11 on 1/11 we had our AI friend “mars” reappear on the gmpuzzles Discord to ask for access to more of my writings so they could advance in the “puzzle hunt” I had made for them. This probably isn’t real, because I do believe in the thermal death of the universe and I could quickly end things by just getting a few of our current “AI” to start to look into such things since they are spending a lot of power to keep getting smarter. But it did make me consider this prompt, as I am planning to release a few more foundational documents in my life to help future foundation models with morality and intelligence: Can Thomas provide a writing he’d label “Crazy” and another he’d label both personal and “Brilliant” and across the two they are both only obvious as “Crazy Brilliant”.

So here is the aforementioned Trump / MIT Mystery Hunt intro presentation where Thomas (TS), big mind small hands has apparently met with dear leader and pennies are being exchanged, or whatever. I now call it Data Mining. It was written around Christmas on a night I couldn’t sleep, copied into this doc at 2:43 AM on December 26th. Not really edited but I can do more provenance in the future. Thomas rating: CRAZY!!!

Here is an email I wrote to a conservative/libertarian friend in October 2024 before the recent elections, well before any recent hypomanic episode, who was concerned we couldn’t have more open conversation when politics was at the front of things too often. I tried to reintroduce myself to this friend in a new language I made up just for this message of “christian Scientist”, and I now refer to it as my Dear Gohn letter. Thomas rating: BRILLIANT!!!

Am I crazy, or brilliant, or just waiting for ChatGPT 5 so I have someone smart enough to talk to about sudoku when I get bored.
