My Affiliation with DOGE LLC and Other Questions about Credibility

I have had a few folks message me about various things they have seen about me on the internet, and I would like to clarify on the record a few things. Particularly, there have been articles that I've been in on reddit and substack that connect me to DOGE, Jordan Peterson - and questions about my career, and my research.

Firstly, I do not have any affiliation to DOGE. I did (accidentally) file a "DOGE LLC" as I was trying to see if it would be possible to file such an organization which would be ironic, as Elon Musk's DOGE organization did operate independently almost as a private entity or an LLC in spite of being ostensibly a part of the government. I wanted to investigate the possibility of filing an LLC with the same name to see if it was possible through legalzoom. Immediately after I discovered it was filed, I had it disbanded, which should be public record - and if it's not, it is pretty simple to show my correspondence with legal zoom that I have the docs to show it.

I was not wrongfully terminated from Microsoft for this, and this LLC was disbanded immediately after I discovered it was created - and I *immediately* alerted Microsoft HR about this once I discovered it was created by accident. No meetings or even financial transactions were made by this entity. The reason cited for my PIP at Microsoft was delays on my feature item, which I've discussed at length in other posts. I still at times hear attempted character assassinations from folks about this - particularly on reddit.

Some redditors with personal ties to Microsoft have attempted to associate me with DOGE to distract from the wrongful terminations going on at Microsoft, which is somewhat ironic given that the primary reason that folks are not thrilled with DOGE is wrongful terminations of federal employees, and my primary criticisms of Microsoft include wrongful terminations of their engineers.

Secondly, I did have an interview many years ago with Dr. Jordan Peterson. My personal view is that Dr. Peterson capitalized on a vacuum left in the culture - particularly young people have found themselves trapped between the ideals and norms set by the older generations and an increasingly more difficult socioeconomic and sociocultural landscape, where attaining traditional markers of adulthood feel out of reach. These young people are often told they need to "work on themselves" or seek "mental" health treatment to deal with their socioeconomic anxiety - a void which once was filled by local community and affordable cost of living relative to wages that has declined. This despondency led to the rise of figures like Andrew Tate and Jordan Peterson who offered a narrative to young men which, like the rhetoric from the Democratic party, was ultimately hollow. So while I did discuss this with Dr. Jordan Peterson, I did challenge him on his points during the hour long discussion.

I have also had people reach out to me, wondering why it is that I've attended so many universities. A part of the problem is that my situation has often been unstable - family drama and witnessing, for example, UC Berkeley devolve into (sometimes violent) protests amid budget cuts where 10% of my peers were left homeless is one example of that. Living situations and coordinating academics was not always easy.

In one substack article, I've been accused of vaccine skepticism, responding to and having direct affiliations to Elon Musk, harassing the CU Boulder police department, belief that space lasers caused the Colorado wildfires, distracting from domestic violence victims, and direct affiliations to DOGE.

The irony is that what I've done is advocate for Medicare for all, criticize Elon Musk for his desire to increase birth rates while failing to look at the socioeconomic conditions creating anxiety about having children, reporting declining mental health of students to the CU Boulder police department immediately before a mass shooting in the city and a violent riot of students flipping police cars, make a sarcastic comment about the wildfires, advocate for worker protections against physical intimidations reported outside of work hours, and file a complaint against wrongful terminations.

The article claimed:

"In 2022, Nestor became rather obsessed with harassing the University of Colorado Bolder Police Department, apparently because some incident resulted in an exclusion order banning Nestor from campus. He often replied to tweets relating to domestic violence or victims of assault, turning the conversation back to his own perceived injustices. He also replied to Elon Musk a couple of times. He also expressed anti-vaccine skepticism and suggested that a destructive Colorado wildfire was caused by a directed energy weapon”

Unfortunately, the author did not have the context that I was contacting the CU Boulder police department about concerns about severe declines in mental health of students and cocaine around campus before I was silenced and banned - shortly before there was a mass shooting near campus and a violent riots of students flipping police cars. My responses to tweets made by CU Boulder police was a criticism of their social media claims that if you notice suspicious behavior one should contact their non emergency line - when it is wired to their emergency line and they silence or ban anybody that does exactly that. I also did reply to Elon Musk several times - critical of his complaints about falling birth rates while socioeconomic conditions required for young women to feel comfortable having kids has remained undressed.

As far as "vaccine skepticism," I think that my criticism to question the motives behind the vaccine program were legitimate considering the appropriate policy if policymakers were actually concerned about minimizing deaths would be Medicare for all and care at the point of service - not a selective mandate and widespread lockdowns. This has been my opinion, and it is important to note that I am not alone in this skepticism that has been shared by the politically unaffiliated.

My comment about space lasers causing wildfires was sarcastic.

When it comes to my research, I will say that some of the ideas I've presented are currently controversial. Ties to Dr. Penrose's Orch-Or theory are most frequently criticized. I do believe that Dr. Penrose did not have the full story, but many of his critiques of current paradigms of computation and consciousness are correct - there is empirical evidence supporting many of his claims, or at least that challenge conventional neural network based models (for example, the observation of superradiance and majorana biophotons in brain tissue, wide range frequencies measured in microtubules, and the fact that anesthetics do indeed target these microtubules implicated in his theory).

I have presented theoretical models which do have peer reviewed support, but most of these ideas must be tested and shown by means of experiment. For that, after crafting a hypothesis, funding is needed to run experiments - and with recent cuts to science research in the US, that will be increasingly more difficult to come by. Still - there are many exciting unexplored ideas here. The possible connection between the Monster CFT and the Riemann hypothesis, the discovery that gravity may be a thermodynamic force, and the UV completion of gravity (where the maths implicating RG flows may provide clues into the Navier Stokes equations as well) are all established in literature. Many of these ideas, I've crafted over the course of many years starting with my exposure to lattice maths and high level physics at UC Berkeley under my undergraduate professor and fields medalist Dr. Borcherds. Scientists and researchers have commented on these ideas with positive reception, where I've posted some of these conversations on my LinkedIn page.
