IDK, but it points to something that's enveloping our modern world: **Fragility**. Everything is fragile. People are fragile, governments are fragile, infrastructure is fragile. It's like our left hemispheres have ran so far ahead of everything, neglecting the moorings of existence, everything is ready to collapse like a house of cards built to the ceiling with a bunch of excited toddlers running into the room. I've dusted off [**Nassim's 2012 minor classic**](https://link.amazon/B0g7G7GwS?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). --- ## Release the Kratom! What's legal in West Virginia, inexpensive, and killing people? No, not sex with [cervids](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List%5Fof%5Fcervids?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). It's Kratom. Gas station heroin. The threat narrative from the press is beginning to spiral. *The Free Press* ran a piece last month. A few days ago, [***The Spectator* weighed in**](https://spectator.com/article/meet-kratom-drug-cops-call-gas-station-heroin/?edition=us&%5Fgl=1%2A134uxxj%2A%5Fup%2AMQ..%2A%5Fga%2AMzU2OTY3NzIuMTc5NDY1NDkxMg..%2A%5Fga%5F4HSLZY4B1Y%2AczE3OTQ2NTgyNTAkbzIkZzEkdDE3OTQ2NTkyOTYkajYwJGwwJGgw%2A%5Fga%5FDLZSDYRWEH%2AczE3OTQ2NTgyNTAkbzIkZzEkdDE3OTQ2NTkyOTYkajYwJGwwJGgw%2A%5Fga%5F62MNNVRTT1%2AczE3OTQ2NTgyNTAkbzIkZzEkdDE3OTQ2NTkyOTYkajYwJGwwJGgw&ref=thedailyeudemon.com) with an essay that implies Kratom is worse than opioids, fentanyl, and getting sodomized by Satan on Viagra while Justin Bieber songs play in the background. Don't buy the hype. Don't buy Kratom, either, mind you. The stuff can't be healthy, so if you, like me, tend to run in the teeth of what the press is saying, don't this time. Elon drinks Kratom. They say lots of wildly successful people do. It brings wild amounts of money and wild babes, which is why I started taking it last summer. But my net wealth has stagnated and heck, thanks to Jensen Huang's penis, has actually declined. Granted, I'm not a hardcore Kratom user. No pills. I drink a mixed beverage that contains a little bit of Kratom, a little bit of caffeine, and a little bit of a proprietary blend they call "Aldous Never Had It So Good" (TM). AI said I could safely drink two, maybe three, cans a day. One seemed to help with my headaches, so I tried drinking two cans in one day. Mistake, that. I put the cans in a drawer and forgot about them until recently. I'm now drinking them again . . . by the shot glass. Two, maybe three, shots in one day. That's it. When my supply is gone, I won't re-stock. I simply don't see the appeal, but neither do I see the web of existential risk that the press is beginning to spin. Then again, I might have the least addictive personality ever. I tried throughout college and my young adult years to turn into an alcoholic, but with no luck. I've tried to get a gambling habit, but I get so dang nauseous when I lose $5\. Sex addiction? That daggone harridan and mother of my seven kids forbids it.

This is going to be the most promising technology in human history. I think if we do this right, we can create an age of miracles where humanity is able to solve problems that have eluded us for millennia.” Dario Amodei Doesn't this guy read TDE? I laid it out just a few days ago: AI is causing mental illness, and if Microsoft's Copilot pops up on my screen just one more time, offering to do my thinking for me, I'm gonna have a heart disease and Alzheimer's attack.

Frick. More like, "A crutch for every step." Smart people are using AI intelligently. The morons are using it stupidly and unleashing its sloppy bullshit on the rest of us. Later this month, I'll be writing about how AI is making the moronic among us the most inconsiderate people this side of the Mongols. but for now, just note: If you want to kill me, send me an email with one of those long AI monologues that repeat the same points over and over.

But do we really have no place to put them? We can't use one of those demolished malls in suburbia that pockmarked America in the late twentieth century? How about a stretch of no-man's land outside a high security prison? There's a huge expanse of unused real estate inside every woke warrior's head. Can we use some of that? Apparently not, because this is no longer a NIMBY thing. It's a Luddite thing. Hatred of technological advancement. And trust me, I have a little Luddite in me (no homo), too. But. **I**[**t's apparently also a China thing**](https://www.axios.com/2026/08/28/china-ai-data-center-backlash-bots?ref=thedailyeudemon.com)**.** China is funding the anti-data center wave. Here's a heuristic for you: Communist Funding + Hysteria = Flashing Red Lights of Suspicion. I'm not remotely knowledgeable enough to have a worthwhile opinion on data centers in general, but I can smell excrement, and this whole anti-data center thing is beginning to smell like an abused outhouse in July.
