CDS level 10
- Provoked by a Medium article accusing him of buying authorship, he defends his co-author credit on the Papua New Guinea meteorite spherule paper with Avi Loeb's team.
- He argues it is an interdisciplinary paper where the sea salvage side, which he funded and helped design, earns academic merit alongside the Harvard geology analysis.
- He frames a broader Charles Derangement Syndrome: an organized hate machine that turns every good act into a scam, like the debunked Epstein and Apache helicopter lies.
- He points to his real record: a 26 billion ecosystem, 240 papers, a Gillette anti aging clinic, glowing plants, and a Carnegie Mellon math formalization gift.
- He resolves to disconnect without losing empathy, and warns delegators that supporting purely Charles deranged DREPs poisons their own ecosystem.

Broadcasting from Colorado, he responds to a level of Charles Derangement Syndrome he has never seen, from a critic named McLovin who earned a rebuttal by writing at length.
The paper came out of a Papua New Guinea expedition with Avi Loeb, a chimera of a chemical classification of spherules plus the novel sea salvage method.
He brought sea salvage expert Rob McCallum and chief of staff JJ Siler on board, and his main non funding contribution was advocating for the sled design.
The sleuth sled failed on the different Papua seafloor after testing off Washington State, so they recovered high density material with the magnetic sled instead.
He helped run the shipboard lab cleaning and sorting samples for the XRF, while the real science was done by Jacobson and his graduate student at Harvard.
He titled it BeLaU for beryllium, lanthanum, and uranium, and Avi decided every sea salvage contributor would be a co-author with Harvard getting the lion's share, while he only asked to cut the technological origin claim.
McLovin then wrote a long form academic misconduct article claiming he bought authorship and violated ICMJE standards, demanding Harvard investigate.
Says the tirade calls him ineligible for co-authorship and ethically illegal, and tells the deranged crowd to accept that a CU Boulder dropout with graduate credits exists.
He runs one of the world's largest crypto research groups with 168 co-authors, 240 papers, and nearly 10,000 citations over 10 years, so where are the lawsuits.
Science moves from low resolution to high resolution, with everyone from test tube cleaners to theorists having a place, and primary authors earning the breakthroughs.
He never professed to be a geologist but had fun reviewing the manuscript and contributing to salvage, without which there would be nothing to analyze.
Recovering spherules 6,000 feet down in Papua New Guinea is as academically interesting as the lab analysis, so an interdisciplinary paper needs both sides credited, and calls the critic blinded by hate.
Crypto hatred for him has reached a point of no redemption where every act must be a scam, whether from Lara's book, his politics, or a triggering tweet, and he keeps funding math institutes and just invented an implantable device.
The trolls are organizing into a Charles hating Discord with parody Fred and Charles accounts, a movement getting louder, more personal, and more pernicious.
Says when he retires he wants a PhD in math, having watched the process firsthand as students like Colin at Cambridge and NIPoPoW inventor Dionysis grew up in his group.
Cardano started in Japan in 2015 on 70 million dollars and is now a 26 billion ecosystem with 240 papers and innovations from Ouroboros to extended UTXO to Plutus and partner chains.
Cardano has the largest onchain governance with Voltaire, everything from Byron to Basho is delivered with Basho coming via Leios and Midgard, so he asks where the deception is after telling the world his plan in 2015.
Cardano ran seven years without a major hack or downtime while Celsius, Luna, FTX, Bitconnect, OneCoin, NXT, and EOS failed, yet it is still top 10.
He does not understand the grievance behind calling a fun survey paper academic fraud with no evidence, and now every action carries that distorting mirror.
People can no longer get along and must hate absolutely, citing Elon and Trump derangement syndromes and the derangement around Hillary Clinton.
The hate machine is now rewarded and monetized into a permanent CDS marketplace in Cardano, where people repeat lies until they become ingrained truth.
An unfair tell all book is hard to fight because even a winning lawsuit only yields a retraction after the damage is done and people never read the rebuttal.
The sticky one transaction per block lie, spread by Ethereum people in 2021, still gets thrown at him at ETH Denver despite Cardano's DeFi ecosystem.
Cargo cults of misinformation like the one transaction per block lie grow cancerous and create parallel realities, an after effect of social media and its derangement syndromes.
He lived on the ship for two weeks setting everything up, and 25 to 40 authors is reasonable for a tailing author on an interdisciplinary recovery and analysis paper.
The debunked Wendy claim tying him to Epstein via Ben Goertzel harvesting data on children in Ethiopia is pure slander, though he was 9 when Epstein was with Bill Clinton.
A foundational lie becomes narrative truth others build on, and ridicules the claim he jumped out of an Apache helicopter, noting he owns a Blackhawk.
The derangement makes him passive and less willing to share his bison, his cats, or his jet, so people fill the silence with perverse stories like they did to Peter Thiel.
He spends his money: a 13,000 patient Gillette anti aging clinic run with his doctor father and brother, glowing plants, and 20 million to Carnegie Mellon to formalize mathematics for AI.
Asks how this harms society when critics gave FTX and Luna a free pass, saying IO is the one that does not pay the bribes.
As a long standing public figure he wonders what the burn it all down crowd wants, finding it demoralizing that he cannot even co-author a paper.
His worry is losing his humanity and empathy by disconnecting, and that the foundation fight was tough when people he expected support from attacked him.
Recounts warning everyone in December that the CF would cut IO's budget in half knowing it meant operating at a loss, then it did so and went to Japan to sell it.
The CF sits on a 1.5 billion treasury like a dragon on gold, and calls the half budget move pettiness and viciousness from unelected bureaucrats, not strategy.
There has to be a better way, admitting he is not perfect at taking losses on the chin while opponents spike the ball on every L.
Finds hope in fired up young people and a healthy optimism to cynicism ratio, resolving to disconnect from the hate without losing his empathy.
Cardano is the most decentralized cryptocurrency with the best onchain governance, and Leios plus a 2 trillion Bitcoin DeFi opportunity makes it the UTXO DeFi crossroads.
Midnight adds meta chain abstraction and multi resource consensus, and calls Leios his solution to the blockchain trilemma balancing decentralization, security, and scalability.
Cardano leads in intents with Babel fees the first step, and he enjoys the easier medical work, a TMS and ketamine combination therapy that could cut depression symptoms by more than 50 percent.
CDS is so bad that even helping people gets recast as savior complex and narcissism for failing his family's doctor legacy.
Warns delegators that choosing purely Charles deranged DREPs who produce nothing poisons the shared water and kills their own ecosystem.
Trump has done good things he enjoys but the victor's justice is getting petty, and everyone must just govern and move forward.
Says the culture only changes if people stop watching garbage videos and amplifying misinformation, and refuse to be a proxy for tearing others down.
Includes himself among those who must be better, asking how he can mitigate the derangement and cut the absurdity off at the knees.
Closes saddened that he cannot co-author a fun interdisciplinary paper without slander, expressing sympathy for whatever illness makes critics see all good as bad.
