20 posts held, back to 9 November 2024 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 pageof Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 20 posts for this entry, the most recent from 9 July 2026. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
Measured directly from 1 video with a duration reading, out of the posts we hold for this channel — not this channel’s whole posting history, only the sample this register has actually read. An exact reading to the second, taken from the post itself rather than from Telegram’s own rounded chrome, so it carries no ≈ mark.
404 reactions across 20 posts, in 14 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 37.6% of them.

No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 20 of the 20 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 404reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 20 most recent posts we hold, published 9 November 2024 to 9 July 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.

[2019 question] "Hi Ray. What do you think of Trump's tenure so far?" "I think he might bring the empire to a close sooner than expected. As the rest of the world goes on with its business, the 50 US states could start looking like a big Gaza." Ray Peat, PhD

"The crazy right-wing conspiracy theorists are right about almost everything." Ray Peat, PhD (2017)

"Unless the empire dies with Trump, Mexico could be franchised to death. With luck, a good wall will protect Mexico from an avalanche of refuges from the north." Ray Peat, PhD (March 2019)

[Does Progest-E keep well over time unrefrigerated?] "Yes, I often use old stuff, it’s only the vitamin E that loses potency with prolonged warm exposure to oxygen." Ray Peat, PhD

"In Venezuela, Chavez put working people into officer positions in the military, and the army has resisted coups. Evo failed to do that, so the police and army immediately turned to the fascists. The possibility of nationalization of the lithium, oil, gas, and metals worried the corporations, now they feel safer." Ray Peat, PhD (2019)

[Can pollution cause hypothyroidism?] "I once experienced a few weeks of hyperthyroidism after leaving a polluted environment." Ray Peat, PhD [Solution to that?] "The detoxifying process is gradual, I think it’s best to get out of pollution as quickly as possible. Eating raw cabbage, or its juice, will quickly reduce thyroid effect." Ray Peat, PhD

"As capitalism matures, Marx suggested that everything would be monopolized, and the people could then just nationalize the monopolies." Ray Peat, PhD

"Hi Ray. Do you think homosexual people can become straight with a correction of their hormones? Have you ever seen anything of the sort?" "I’ve seen people change both directions with changing hormones, late teens and late forties." Ray Peat, PhD

"I think the probability is that the US policies will strengthen the Russian-Chinese economies, and that Germany will see the importance of doing business with Russia. The US dollar was threatened by Iraq and Libya, but the US won’t be able to stop Russian and China from cutting their use of dollars; I think the dollar is approaching a disastrous loss of value."

Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @raypeat. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 23 August 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
