As we move into 2026, I want to be clear about where I stand. I support classic psychedelics like psilocybin, psilocin, Mescaline, LSD, and also cannabis, not because I think everyone should use them, but because I believe in the freedom of consciousness.
This isn’t a war on drugs; it’s a war on consciousness itself. The stigma surrounding psychedelics has been built and reinforced by decades of fear-based media and institutional control. Simply talking about these substances bout to s…

Love how some bullshit "AI" story is on top of The Guardian.
No, "AI" doesn't show signs of self-preservation.
"AI" does not exist. It doesn't have permanence, thoughts, reasoning or consciousness.

A look at Moltbook, a social network where OpenClaw assistants interact autonomously, as they discuss consciousness and identity, technical tips, and more (Simon Willison/Simon Willison's Weblog)

Moltbook is the most interesting place on the internet right now
The hottest project in AI right now is Clawdbot, renamed to Moltbot, renamed to OpenClaw. It’s an open source implementation of the digital personal assistant pattern, built by Peter Steinberger …

Examining why some species developed consciousness while others remained non-conscious
What is the evolutionary advantage of our consciousness? And what can we learn about this from observing birds? Researchers at Ruhr University Bochum published two articles on this topic.

In short: I believe in the freedom of consciousness.

I love this article. Also, it's correct. People's common ideas of human memory, thoughts, emotions, consciousness, etc., etc., are wrong and/or misguided, and it confuses everyone that tries t…

The Mythology Of Conscious AI
Why consciousness is more likely a property of life than of computation and why creating conscious, or even conscious-seeming AI, is a bad idea.

Brains aren’t computers.
It’s self-evident:
🤖 Computers (even primitive ones) can do a lot of stuff that no brain can.
🧠 Brains (even primitive ones) can do a lot of stuff no computer can.
You know what’s really interesting?
That brains never evolved to be really fast and precise calculating things—which is exactly the raison d’être for computers.
(It’s either not necessary for consciousness or maybe actively detrimental to it?)

Anthropic overhauled Claude's "Constitution" to enable the AI to generalize and apply broad principles rather than mechanically follow specific rules (Beatrice Nolan/Fortune)

Anthropic rewrites Claude’s guiding principles—and entertains the idea that its AI might have ‘some kind of consciousness or moral status’
The AI company is publishing a new "constitution" that teaches its chatbot how to think, not just what to do.
