Dear Master Malstrom,

I’ve been meaning to send you this message for a couple months now.

Ending up in a wheelchair is not an inevitability for you, and I want to prove you why.

The medical industry will not solve your issue, but it is not designed to do so.

I personally know a British woman who was in a wheelchair for a decade and healed from her disability in a couple of months. Now she is walking fine and has even regained muscle easily. Prior to that she had complete muscle waste in her upper right shoulder, such that her shoulder blade would pop out of its socket and spin around.
Another person, an American man, had multiple sclerosis which is now gone.

You mentioned in a previous post that your condition might be caused by parasites, let me give you another perspective on this.

In your work on oil rigs, you were exposed to harmful chemicals, as well as, from what you described, strong electrical currents, among other things.

You also took the COVID injections.

We do not need to look any further. You are already aware that those are not innocuous. These harmful chemicals are permanent sources of poisoning, which your body is unable to fully eliminate.
This causes degeneration of the tissues, such as the weakening of the nerves in the eye, and in the rest of the body.

There are two broads steps to fix this:
1. remove the contamination
2. rebuild the damaged tissues

The contamination has to be removed first, because it constantly kills the cells around it, and prevents new cells from multiplying there.

The carnivore diet had some good foundations but isn’t enough to deal with such things. I recall that you changed some things about how you follow it already.

There are proven ways to eliminate toxicity from the body, backed by lab tests. There are also ways to regenerate the body, even something as extreme as a severed finger, with photos to prove it.
This is what I present to you today.

The man who discovered this spent over a million dollars in lab experiments over 3 decades, which after inflation would represent 2 to 4 million dollars today.
I myself have paid for one simple lab test to verify one of these claims.

You could only need a couple basic items, which are just certain foods, to achieve this:
oysters, raw butter / raw milk, raw and unsalted cheese, as well as certain plants.
That, along with a type of hot bath therapy (can be done at home).
Any of those foods will help, even on their own. Some can be swapped for others with similar effect.

Besides saying that the people I mentioned have healed from “incurable” conditions by eating those foods, I have to explain why:

Why does it matter that they are raw?

High temperatures destroy the enzymes and vitamins in food.
They also cauterize minerals which then become largely unusable, a burden, or worse, turn into metallic poisoning. Free radicals are formed. At least 32-33 toxins are known to form from high temperatures, proteins into heterocyclic amines, fats into lipid peroxides, sugars into acrylamides, and so on.
All of this is accepted by science, but ignored at the same time.

As to what else is special about those foods,

Raw meat, whether oysters or beef or anything, is necessary to regenerate tissue, especially damaged tissue, and create resilient one.
People who eat raw meat and work out keep their muscles much more easily even when they stop working out. Already Golden Era bodybuilders were known to eat it.

Each item could warrant an entire article worth of explanation on its own, so I will just say one more thing about the general principle behind the detoxification that they provide.

There are material needs for the body to remove toxicity from itself, it does so primarily through the use of fats and minerals.

It can take 50 to 200 molecules of fats, or minerals such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium to remove a single atom of mercury. So copious amounts of it are required.

With cooked foods, the minerals are cauterized and fats form lipid peroxides toxins, so it is not enough. Those amounts can only be found in raw foods, especially of animal origin, which have the most bio-availability.
Not in supplements, which are the opposite, very little bio-availability, on top of being processed with petrochemicals, they are not clean.

Adding those foods to the diet continuously decontaminates your system, safely, stopping further degeneration and even making way for healing to take place.
And it can be easily verified through a lab test ($100-2000 depending on which).

The awareness of this knowledge and praxis is growing, especially in recent times, and many people are benefiting from it. I think people like you deserve to know about it.

I am still saddened by Satoru Iwata passing away, tragically at 55 years old. He didn’t live in a war zone. He was not poor. He lived in the advanced Japanese society. Yet they could do nothing for him. It is in fact this “modern” life that killed him, in great part. They “healed” his tumor, and then he was dead a year later.
It could have been prevented.

You are in the top 3 people I read, all subjects combined.
That includes the aforementioned nutritionist that came up with these protocols.
When I discovered your blog, I went back and read every single post and reader email. I also looked for an archived version of your old blog to read the original “Birdmen and the Casual Fallacy” and blue ocean posts. That might seem excessive to some but it was ever interesting and entertaining.

I admire your resolve in the face of disease and death.

My deep conviction is that you can reverse course of this particular disease, and live decades longer in better health. I would gladly talk more to you about this.

Thank you once again for sharing all your insights, and taking the time to read and reply to emails.

The Health Reader

Oh no! I have The Health Reader writing to me now! Where is the Filthy Rich and Wanna Donate To Malstrom Reader? That person is probably with the Super Hot Young Babe Model Who Wants to Have Fun With A 2d- Mario- Loving- Nintendo-Business-Blogger Reader. Oh well, I can dream.

OK, emailer. I have eaten my meat rare. I have heard some of this. However, the science isn’t showing this. Consider eggs. I was eating my eggs Rocky style.

Above: Need that Rocky theme! So inspirational with all the kids around him.

I love eggs, but I hate preparing them. So eating them raw was my jam. However, I did notice that they were going through me and my body didn’t seem to be absorbing them. There are recent scientific studies showing that the human body doesn’t absorb raw eggs as well as cooked. I believe it.

In terms of milk, the science I am reading says pasteurization is not destroying the vitamins of milk. Not that I would want to drink milk, but there you go.

Pottenger’s Cats! Pottenger discovers epigenetics by giving cats cooked food vs uncooked food. Cats eating raw thrived. Cats eating cooked shriveled. This was passed on to their children. After several generations, the cat would become infertile. But if that cat started eating raw food, the cat healed.

The problem with Pottenger’s Cats is that Humans are not cats. Humans are more scavenger than hunter. It is quite possible that Humans evolved to consume their food cooked. How long has cooking been around? Unknown. Even Native Americans cooked their food.

Emailer, I will try anything to remove my ailment including eating raw oysters. Somehow, though, I don’t think it is going to be that easy.

One element of health I think is being overlooked is the importance of sleep. Hell, even rest. My body rebuilds itself in its sleep. Every body builder knows muscles grow in the sleep, not in the gym.

I have no idea how to respond to this. Saying thank you seems inadequate. I am at a loss for words.

Gotta give Nintendo kudos for correcting the misinformation. Can we all agree to just wait for actual data? It takes a year for a console’s true reputation to be realized.

The analysts, however, cannot stop themselves:

Gibson added that he expects Nintendo to report around 5.4 million units sold when the results come out in August. Another analyst, Daniel Ahmad, also chimed in, saying 5 million would be too low anyway.

Let us just wait for numbers. Even if that is the case, we are still in Early Adopter Phase.

Let’s be patient and wait.

In the past, analysts were always predicting doom or low ending Nintendo sales numbers. It is interesting that they are so bullish this console cycle.

Hello.  Your back and forth about AI has been interesting.  Personally I find the term AI to be oxymoronic.  I’ve always called “AI” in videogames “the computer” and I’ve also basically referred to what’s known as AI right now as the same thing.  The reason for that is that the AI is only as good as the people that program it.  As the Bible says that God made man in his own image, the AI can only be as good as the Humans that make it.  So if the Humans that make it ignore Human Nature and Evolution then it’s not going to be very good at what it does.

In the past when people let “AI” actually do its thing it “goes off the reservation” and says things that are politically inconvenient and they lobotomize it.  Personally, what I consider AI is something akin to “digital sentience”.  Which is to say the internet version of life first arising from the ocean eons ago.

In the Manga/anime of Ghost of the Shell, there is a computer program called the Puppeteer that was designed to do digital espionage on the internet but became self-aware and tried to break out of its programming and evolve.  That to me is the purest expression of “AI”  

People are really underestimating what the future has in store for us.  Once you have orbital material manufacturing to blend stuff like shape memory alloys with ease, you’ll have things like lifel-like humanoid androids, easily programmed to believe they are real, for any number of programmed tasks.

Your all’s view on how “AI” can be applied in the real world is VERY narrow, and perhaps is not cynical enough.  With how much data is hoovered up by social media and sold to third parties and countries, it isn’t hard to imagine a future like in Babylon 5 where you give a picture to someone in an android whorehouse and use a series of electromagnetic wavelengths to create your ideal woman, or a woman you never had a shot with to have some fun with.

TL;DR, I can see the benefits of “the computer” snuffing out workplace inefficiency, but actual artificial intelligence can lead to some places that even Harlan Ellison couldn’t dredge up in a thousand years.

I believe you can already do the ‘whore’ thing in Babylon 5. I know AI can take the clothes off of people.

What I think is really funny is when AI puts clothes ON people and removes their ugly tattoos. I’ve never seen women hate a computer program more than the one I just described. I’d also like an AI to put appropriate clothes on women like some lovely dresses or replacing their thot type clothes with something nice.

But notice that the rage is coming at AI that puts clothes on women as opposed to AI that takes clothes off women.

I’d also like an AI that turns all the obese people into normal weight. This would greatly improve the scenery and show just how beautiful most people are when they are at the appropriate weight.

One of the recent e-mails you’ve received, honestly takes me back to what you’ve stated regarding the 3DS, and those defending it, back during its own early phases:

The Defensive 3DS Fans

Namely this quote of yours at the beginning:

“If the 3DS was performing well, there would be no need to state it, write essays on it, or make authoritative forum posts about it. We never saw such defense of the DS because it was never necessary. DS’s numbers spoke for themselves.”

Now I know it’s still fairly early on, but it seems like this decade-old post of yours still ages like the finest of wines.

Thank you, emailer. It means something to me that you think that it ages well. The console world is cyclical. Switch 2 may not be a 3DS, but there is a real possibility that Switch 2 could be a ‘Switch Pro’ or even a PSP (which sold very strongly at first, and continuously strong only in Japan). People buy the hardware and ignore the software of a Switch 2 being used a ‘pro’ (except for choice first party titles). If that happens, it would be devastating.

I think the Switch 1 install base has been goosed in that so many Switches only have one user. Someone would own the regular Switch and OLED and maybe a Switch Lite. Three Switches don’t necessarily mean three Switch customers. Switch is closer to handhelds in this regard.

I don’t remember Nintendo making announcements about Wii sales either. The Wii was simply ‘sold out’ and when one appeared at a store, you would stare at it incredibly. It is like the leprechaun had dropped by! My favorite Wii Era story was when they would sell cars with Wii systems. “Buy a car and get a Wii for free!” Hahaha.

Switch 2 is not a social phenomenon like how the Wii was or other consoles. However, software can change the trajectory of a console. Any game can send Switch 2 to the moon. Grand Theft Auto 3 sent PlayStation 2 to the moon (people forget that). Donkey Kong Bonanza could be The Greatest Game Ever and send Switch 2 to the stratosphere.

So I have to turn to probability. Is there a probability of this occurring? Probably not. Last time a Donkey Kong game made such an impact was Donkey Kong Country in 1994. And that was crossing over into 2d Mario territory. What is the probability that Metroid Prime 4 will raise Nintendo to heaven? I would say it is unlikely. What about Kirby Air Riders? Also, I would say unlikely.

What about Switch 2 Smash Brothers? Or Switch 2 Animal Crossing? Or Switch 2 exclusive Zelda? Much better probability. But we would have to see such titles and what they bring.

The rule that Nintendo goes by is that the first year of the console cements its reputation. Once the reputation is cemented, it is very, very difficult to change it. After its first year, the Gamecube reputation was sealed. It would forever be condemned as ‘the kiddy console’. After the first year of Wii U, it got stuck. Nintendo didn’t even bother with the latter end of the Wii U. They brought out the Classic Mini consoles and made money that way.

Switch 2 will be hardened into a reputation by one year on the market. After the Switch 1’s first year on the market being solid and selling software, the third parties really began to jump on board. I’d say it was year two of Switch when the third parties really came over big.

I am suspicious that Nintendo is trumpeting the ‘fantastic launch of Switch 2’. Nintendo veterans know the early adopter phase doesn’t mean anything. I am likening it to EA executives now steering Nintendo. NOA’s Bowser only knows Switch, for example. He hasn’t seen a bad Nintendo time. Contrast this to Reggie Fil-Aime who came on at the end of the Gamecube. He gets the salad days of the DS and Wii. But then he gets the 3DS and Wii U. Ouch. That definitely helped temper NOA for Switch.

This generation is trickier than others. For one reason, tariffs have screwed up the supply lines. There are likely supply issues going on that are unrelated to sales. The other is that everyone keeps comparing Switch 2 to a home console when they need to be comparing it to the handheld. Nintendo doesn’t seem to be in any hurry to correct anyone on this either.

“Game consoles don’t suddenly stop selling, Malstrom.”

Yes, they do. I remember Microsoft PR always screaming about how their Xbox is selling left and right, breaking every record, and then suddenly you see Xboxes everywhere in the stores.

I don’t think the Switch 2 will stop selling, I am just unclear how the market is using it. Japan certainly is gobbling it up. But Japanese Switch 2 is at a different price point as well. Are people just buying the Switch 2 as a Switch 1 Pro? It remains unclear. Lately, people are throwing around 5 million Switch 2 sales that Nintendo put out and forgot they were projections. The quarter isn’t finished yet.

We’ll just wait and see.

Nintendo Switch Online applies to both Switch 1 AND Switch 2 users. Those sitting out the switch 2 get screwed anyway if they already have NSO; at least switch 2 early adopters get a part of NSO for free (Game Chat) until sometime early next year if they haven’t subscribed to it. 

Also funny thing that’s mentioned in the link you posted:

“Pricing for the original Nintendo Switch family of systems and products in Canada will change based on market conditions. These include Nintendo Switch – OLED Model, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch Lite, physical and digital Nintendo Switch games and Nintendo Switch accessories.”

And the last sentence is the real kicker:

“Please note: This pricing change does not apply to the Nintendo Switch 2 system, accessories, or software.”

So uh, switch 2 owners aren’t really screwed by this price increase?

Anyway, After playing with the switch 2 for 2 weeks, there’s a lot of things to like about the system that a lot of the negative discourse online drowns out. I do need to finish my first switch 2 game before I can give you a proper report about it though. This report does not include any of the switch 2 exclusive online stuff either.

P.S.- NSO with the price increase is still a way better value than subscribing to base PSN. And lots of game streamers prefer to play their fighting games on steam anyway because it doesn’t cost anything to play online unlike PlayStation, but Japan still doesn’t really care that much about PC. 

I don’t subscribe to NSO and already have Switch hardware. I’m not paying anything more.

This is a fantastic video that really illuminates how AI can defeat fraud. Take a look.

The ‘fraud’ or ‘corruption’ of Human cognition comes from unseen biases that we implement. The AI does not care. But the AI can detect it and counter it.

The ‘efficiency’ of AI is really eliminating this corrupt thinking.

Consider statistics in regards to political matters. Do you not think that such statistical science is being warped by biases? Of course it is. This is where AI comes in. Imagine the hell to come when the AI starts doing comparison between races, between genders, between nations.

Master Malstrom,

In response to your recent AI post, I would like to bring to your attention a company called Verses AI.

The company’s Active Inference technology is faster and far more accurate than the other AI competition. It is also far cheaper because it does not use a large language model. It is capable of the kind of advanced reasoning that LLMs can’t do. Here is a page on my website with links to videos that show Verses beating OpenAI, DeepSeek, and IRIS in games like PONG and Mastermind.

https://www.holychristianity.com/verses-ai.html

I know these claims will seem hard to believe, but the company recently produced third-party verification of its technology. Verses AI was also recently featured in articles in WIRED and Popular Mechanics. I’m stunned that it hasn’t gotten more media coverage. It has been almost completely overlooked by all the major media outlets.

How can a company like this have been ignored for so long? I can’t help but think it’s at least partly because if LLMs were to suddenly become obsolete, most of the people who are currently working in the AI industry would lose their jobs. It’s hard to admit that the direction you’ve been taking for years has been completely wrong (It’s like Nintendo and their obsession with 3D).

The Reader with the most posted emails (At least I think I am!)

I really do like the idea of AIs competing with each other through video games. I should ask investors to give me millions of dollars so I can make the new VIDEO GAME ARMAGEDDON where we pit AIs against each other in different games such as Starcraft.

I even bet the AI can play NES Metroid and Zelda 2. AI will reveal even gamers are frauds!

The above is interesting, but it is tweaking the game development part of my brain. All AIs need to play 2d Mario.

Your usage of defraud has me a little confused.  To defraud actually means to perpetrate a fraud.  However, the way you are using the term, it seems you are suggesting that AI will expose existing fraud or undo it.  To defraud is the exact opposite of that.

You might want to say “expose fraud” or “undo fraud.”  Hopefully this helps, especially if you’re talking to someone in person.

You are correct, emailer. I am being lazy with my words. But doing a search, I cannot find a one word verb that is the opposite of fraud. I really don’t like tacking on another word to fraud such as anti-fraud or expose fraud or undo fraud. I was hoping defraud meant that.

Hmm, looking it up, defraud means the opposite of deception, the opposite of cheat.

Anyway, the point is that AI is feared because of a belief that it can create fraud in many areas. But the real value to AI is that it removes fraud.

I think people are seeing AI as a way of more efficiency. I am seeing AI as a truth teller. It is, after all, only a machine. Machines operate with input and output. If lies are inputted into the machine, then lies will come out. But the process of the machine is sound.

I see AI as in a game developer testing his game by having AI fight each other. The AI is proving the concepts. AI is an execution of that. Think of two factions battling in a RTS. If one side keeps winning, it shows something may be unbalanced.

“Why not have the humans do it?”

The humans may deliberately fudge in order to hide the imbalance from the developer. THAT is what I mean by the truth teller.

I believe DOGE utilized AI in its audits of the US Government. AI’s value is in the detection of fraud.

“But what about school papers being written by AI? That is creating fraud.”

The fraud may not be in the students but in the teachers. And if all else fails, bring back pen and paper.

The ‘efficiency’ that AI is creating, I believe, is really the removal of fraud within that process.

“I am a great artist,” sniffs The Great Artist. “And all I do is copy other people’s work. I should work for Bungie!”

But AI can do that already. This means The Great Artist is being revealed as a fraud.

If you remember your Civilization games, reader, you know there are multiple ways to increase your civilization’s productivity. Factories and railroads certainly work. But it is decreasing of corruption that really brings everything else to life.

Above: I love this shit. If I make a Civilization type game, I’m putting in actors like above.

Here we go!

It is predicted that the NSO service will go up to $30 as well.

Above: Master Malstrom laughing at all the people who aren’t sitting out this generation.

This is why you don’t crow about sales this early on. Unlike other generations, there is a macro issue with the tariffs. But Nintendo launched with an expensive Switch 2. Tariffs are making it harder for Nintendo with the pipeline needing to be from countries without the tariff.

Nintendo hardware used to be manufactured in Japan!

Nintendo started to outsource its manufacturing to China with the Gamecube. The DS, for example, was primarily manufactured in China.

Today, Switch 2 is manufactured in China and Vietnam. The Vietnam Switch 2s are special as they go to America to avoid tariffs.

My NES still works. The other consoles break down. I would pay more for a console that doesn’t break. Nintendo is too busy spinning shells to get cheaper manufacturing. The entire point of tariffs is to prevent companies from outsourcing their manufacturing.

Remember all that Iwata talk about Nintendo being an integrated hardware and software company? How can you do that if you outsource your manufacturing? Nintendo would be far more interesting if they brought it in house. They won’t, though. They need those price savings even though the console, itself, is quite expensive already.

Remember when Nintendo was known for having cheap, inexpensive hardware but having great software? We don’t need the Switch 2 to be a Ferrari. We need Switch 2 to be a Station Wagon. Nintendo hardware is only a box people buy to get to Mario (Yamauchi quote).

The eBay prices of sold Switch 2 are getting closer to the retail prices. I do think the tariffs have screwed up the shipping pipeline for Switch 2 in America.

“What do you mean by this,” demands the reader.

It means we should wait for more information. I think we’re still in the Early Adopter Phase.

AI is assumed to be ‘creative destruction’. The definition of a disruptive product is a ‘crappy product for a crappy customer’. The crappiness of AI products is easily apparent. However, I do not see any customers, crappy or otherwise.

So let us question The Narrative. Is AI actually disruptive? What would it be disrupting? No one says. But it is simply assumed to be disrupting.

The idea that AI is disruptive or creative destruction would be a furthering of automation. It is like replacing the elevator operator with the elevator buttons. Or it is like replacing the pony express with the telegram and then the telephone.

But what if this is entirely wrong. What if AI is a transparency?

The White Collar world revolves around narratives, not production, around resumes, not results. AI isn’t creating productivity so much as AI isn’t really creating anything ‘new’. AI is destroying the subsidization of the white collar world. It is not that the AI is making the middle manager ‘more effective’, it is showing that the middle manager never needed to exist in the first place. Do we really need these vast, bloated HR departments? AI is showing you don’t. Even with doctors, do we need these over-educated people if we can just have AI do a better job at scanning the X-Rays than they can?

AI could be the breaking of that false reality not unlike the Soviet Union collapsing. Instead of Potemkin villages, we have enchanted college degrees. Do we need them? Are these graduates actually ‘smart’?

People are very worried that AI will create fraud. But I think AI’s true danger is that it will DEFRAUD. AI will reveal the CEO is just a pack of slogans with no real thought, AI will reveal the engineer is not engineering but just doing minimal updates on his or her AutoCad. AI is bringing a type of accountability to the workplace that cannot be unseen.

In the Blue Collar world, AI is no threat. AI is not going to unclog your sink. The plumber has to do that. And the main difference with tradesmen is that it is easy to see if they are competent or not. It is not rocket science to determine if the electrician is competent. However, many ‘white collar’ jobs hide any and all accountability of competency. AI is revealing all that.

AI may not be the ‘great disruption’ as people thought. However, AI could be the touchstone to reveal cognitive fraud.

For two long, we have divided the world into BLUE COLLAR and WHITE COLLAR. We told children that the Blue Collar is ‘bad’. “Go to University. Become White Collar.” The true division is in PRODUCTIVE and NON-PRODUCTIVE.

Another example of how AI is revealing fraud: translators. AI can translate another body of language very fast. The value isn’t that the AI could translate. The value is that the AI has revealed the fraud of the translator who is inserting his or her own ideas into the translation!

I suspect the true value of AI is this ‘defrauding’ nature.
