DARPA

What he has asked the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, sent it, and argued about it since 2021 — and what the agency's own published record confirms about each. His position throughout, borne out by the agency's disclosures: that the agency builds on what the public thinks, that the public should own what it thinks, and that a great deal of what is called classified is in DARPA's own publications.

• Dec 9 2021Proposal Lidar over radio for autonomous navigation where jamming or charge-blocking is the threat. Record: DARPA's Robotic Autonomy in Complex Environments program and the Army's RCV work standardized multi-sensor stacks with lidar for GPS-denied operation in 2021–23.
• Jul 31 2023Request Asked the agency to return his Born–Oppenheimer approximation draft — a document he says left his possession — copied to the Senate Intelligence Committee's members. Record: the Born–Oppenheimer approximation underlies quantum-chemistry programs DARPA has funded since the Quantum Benchmarking program of 2021.
• Aug 22 2023Argument Partisan funding of climate solutions is the most dangerous thing facing humanity: “Democrats only fund Democrats because they only want Democrats to get the credit.”
• Nov 8 2023Interest The AI Cyber Challenge, days after its August 2023 announcement. Record: AIxCC ran 2023–25 and its August 2025 final had AI systems find and patch real vulnerabilities in open-source software — the machinery his Arguments page describes.
• Nov 1 2023Correspondence Sought a reply from the agency's public-affairs channel to his correspondence through its directory.
• Mar 14 2024Argument “Who gave universities and agencies the right to steal the American dream away from America's citizens? Innovation belongs to the people. Are appropriations not enough?” Record: under Bayh–Dole (1980), universities keep title to inventions made with federal money; the public that paid for the research licenses it back.
• Jun 6 2024Proposals Photo-switchable oxygenated phospholipids for longevity; thermal probing by layered lidar returns to read micro-fluctuations in temperature. Record: DARPA's Invisible Headlights (2021–) reads passive thermal emission for navigation; lidar-based thermometry is an active research field.
• Jul 24 – Aug 3 2024Argument “Hear them or steal them?” “If your system doesn't trust my system to get the information, why do I need to trust you? Physics is way harder to break than math.”
• Oct 14 – Dec 11 2024Proposals “AI agents is a little ominous”; robotic dexterity for agility is a must; model perception from known distances instead of triangulation, making the unknowns known and reverse-engineering the variables. Record: DARPA's AI Forward and its agentic programs followed; its Robotic Autonomy work centers on dexterity.
• 2019 – 2026Record Focused Pharma (2019–): the agency's program to develop psychedelic-derived compounds with the hallucinogenic effect engineered out — DARPA's documented, present-tense hand in the pharmacology of altered states, which his MK-Ultra chain on the Spiritual logic page sets beside the OSS cannabis truth-drug of 1943 and the Edgewood cannabinoid trials.
• Jan 2 2025Research Which DARPA insect programs could carry a gene-editing payload. Record: Insect Allies (2016–2020) funded insects as vectors for plant gene editing; Science published a warning in 2018 that the same platform could be weaponized.
• Jun 26 2025Argument Did DARPA let Apple take ownership of brain-mapping technology? Brain mapping breaks genuine politics. Record: DARPA's N3 program (2018–2022) funded non-invasive, non-surgical neural interfaces; Apple holds patents on neural-signal sensing in earbuds (2023–25).
• Sep 5 2025Argument “What will DARPA build next, since they seem to be the only ones with the rights?”
• Oct 25 2025Argument Universities are downstream DARPA projects. Record: DARPA's university funding built the ARPANET (1969), the first autonomous vehicles and most of the AI field.
• Mar 10 2026Research Remote, non-contact EEG, brain mapping, biological signatures and TEMPEST — and the point that the agency's own disclosures show how much of it is unclassified and how much of it is sold to civilians. Record: TEMPEST is a published NSA/NATO standard; DARPA's public program pages describe N3's sensing modalities in detail.
• May 28 2026Proposal Sim-maxing — his infinite-arithmetic stress test for flight trainers, noting the Air Education and Training Command's work with the Defense Innovation Unit on the same problem; sent to Luke Air Force Base the same day.
• Jul 13–19 2026Argument DARPA's public disclosures on directed energy and its original frequency research are the record the neurowar debate should start from; “enough computation to get to the moon, but not enough to scale Pavlov with frequencies and sensors that already existed.” See the DEW page.
