The moment that stayed with me: An EMS captain looked at my POST form and said, “This is what this means.” Hospice isn’t giving up. Hospice is consent being honored. New piece is up. open.substack.com/pub/glioblas...

Certainty has become a drug. Scapegoating is the side effect. New essay on fear, domination, freedom open.substack.com/pub/adammarc...

Politicized stupidity isn’t stupidity at all—it’s the fear of what we’d have to confront if we knew better. My latest piece explores ignorance as belonging and learning as moral repair. 🔗 “The Politics of Not Knowing” — Adam Marc Writes open.substack.com/pub/adammarc...

“We traded the divine right of kings for the consent of the governed. Somewhere along the way, we forgot: consent means restraint.” New essay: No Kings, No Idols. On Trump, the Framers, and the courage to yield. #NoKingsDay #Democracy 🔗 open.substack.com/pub/adammarc...

New post: Smudged Thumbprint. This one’s about scans, language, and the strange space between treatment and disease. Nine years in, I’m still learning to live in that space. If you’re going through it, I see you. #glioblastology open.substack.com/pub/glioblas...

Rosh HaShanah remembers creation not as something finished, but as a question posed again each year. What kind of world will we create this year—through what we excuse, through what we repair, through what we dare to begin again? open.substack.com/pub/adammarc...

“I’m not here to pass Parsons’s test. I showed up on Capitol Hill not to play ‘good patient,’ but to remind lawmakers that patients who will never fold neatly back into ‘normal’ still deserve more than a shrug.” open.substack.com/pub/glioblas...

Structural gaslighting isn’t a glitch in the system. It is the system. My latest essay tracks how the deliberate erosion of trust has become a mode of governance. #politics #philosophy #truth open.substack.com/pub/adammarc...

ah yes stop and frisk, which was ruled unconstitutional and thus not "perfectly legal," would have for sure prevented the nevada resident from bringing his south carolina manufactured ar-15 into manhattan and the senator from louisiana is for sure in a position to decide for the residents of nyc

⚡️Zealotry. Inheritance. Power. This week’s Torah portion (Pinchas) is wild—and deeply political. I recorded a short commentary unpacking priestly propaganda and what it means to read sacred text from the fringe. 📽️ 10 min | beard included

WTF?!? Border Czar Tom Homan claimed that ICE and Border Patrol agents don’t need probable cause to detain people they suspect are undocumented, saying they can do so based on factors like physical appearance. This is straight-up racial profiling, not law enforcement.

"Almost 9 in 10 U.S. adults, 85%, favor a pathway to citizenship for immigrants who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children, and nearly as many say they favor a path to citizenship for all immigrants in the country illegally as long as they meet certain reqmnts." apnews.com/article/immi...

@katz.theracket.news delivering the facts* as we've come to expect, with maybe a dash of Katzian hope. Solid read, if for no other reason than to pinch yourself to know this is reality. *not sugarcoated theracket.news/p/worst-case...

There’s money for the secret police, but we just came up short for healthcare, education, housing, food assistance, international aid, community based organizations…

“How did the supposed hallmark of American democracy help enable authoritarian tendencies?” open.substack.com/pub/adammarc...

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

And he wants you to think he's fighting antisemitism. Wake up. “President Donald Trump employed a term often used as a slur against Jewish people as he blasted bankers during a speech in Iowa on Thursday evening.” talkingpointsmemo.com/news/trump-r...

My latest Substack challenges how we think about AI. Forget the "is it sentient?" debate. I argue AI is a "new medium" demanding a deeply human, phenomenological approach. adammarcwrites.substack.com/p/what-is-th... #AIEthics #PhilosophyOfAI #Phenomenology #ProjectionEra #HumanExperience

Let's review: 1. Iran was not building a nuclear weapon 2. US intel said that if the US bombed Iran, it might push Iran to build a nuke 4. Trump bombed Iran anyway 5. Trump claimed the bombs "obliterated" Iran's nuclear facilities 6. Iran's program was set back only a few months, US intel says

My area of focus in grad school was Philosophy of Science. I've often been fascinated by the intersection of humanity, science, politics, rights, and how we claim to believe the things we do. Beginning a few months ago, I found these interests showing up in my engagement with large language models.

“The findings by the DIA, which were based on a preliminary battle damage assessment conducted by US Central Command, which oversees US military operations in the Middle East, suggests Trump’s declaration about the sites being “obliterated” may have been overstated.” apple.news/AnE3F7ylTTOu...

20 axioms. One groove. Just released A Rule of Relation: A Field Manual for the Age of Projection Machines. Not written about #AI, written with it. Language is the container. Presence is the ethic. open.substack.com/pub/adammarc...

Saw a 1998 blink clip first show with Travis barker. I was part of that whole lol age with different definitions of punk etc. who sold out. Dumb shit; coalitions are large and diverse by definition. Anyway. That mosh pit was wild in that video so don’t judge blink. 1998-2001 went from y2k to 9/11.
