We have extraordinary brains and god-like technology, throttled by a medieval understanding of our minds and emotions. We need to upgrade our understanding of the mind so we can claim our rightful inheritance as a species.

@abovetheclouds @aakashgupta Indeed - apparently loads of people throw them off regardless 🤷🏻‍♂️

@JamieSmartCom @aakashgupta Well, that was obviously invented to stop people from theowing pennies from the Empire State Building. It may not kill someone, but still it may hurt or injure someone, just the same as hail does.

The physics on this are worth running because "thousands of feet" sounds terrifying until you remember that height stops mattering after a few seconds. An M&M weighs about 0.9 grams. Terminal velocity is determined by the ratio of mass to cross-sectional area. For something that light and that round, terminal velocity lands somewhere around 10 to 15 mph. A raindrop hits you harder. J.B.S. Haldane wrote the best explanation of this in 1926: "You can drop a mouse down a thousand-yard mine shaft; and, on arriving at the bottom, it gets a slight shock and walks away. A rat is killed, a man is broken, a horse splashes." The square-cube law means small objects have proportionally more surface area relative to their mass. Air resistance wins. Whether you drop an M&M from 100 feet or 10,000 feet, it hits the ground at the same speed. It reaches terminal velocity in seconds. After that, gravity and drag are in equilibrium and the candy is just floating down at jogging pace. The content is dumb for a dozen reasons. Physics danger to bystanders is not one of them.

@AMajeedHD @aakashgupta Thanks very much 🙏

The most hilarious part of this post is the admission that they were wasting their time investigating legal social media posts and preventing officers from patrolling the streets and tackling real crime.

Interesting 👀

Hopeful news 🙏 #freespeech

What if this moment is extraordinary? Not a future one. Not a better one. This one. Something is animating it that most of us have stopped noticing. #clarity #consciousness

@CaitlinPacific Dogs are pure feeling - we surrender them at our peril

The. Dogs are the resistance

@rickygervais yes 👊🏼🧡🐶

This annoys all the right people.

@Cozyreads_ this is beautiful - thanks for sharing it

I think that in recent years we have become too BBC-friendly They should concentrate more on making great programmes, and less on social engineering Social engineering is not what they are paid for

Things that @Keir_Starmer has said are his Number One priority 1 Economic growth 2 National security 3 Rebuilding trust with the Jewish community 4 Ending the vile trade in people smuggling 5 Illegal migration 6 Making sure our communities are safe 7 Crime (eliminating not committing ) 8 Building an NHS fit for the future 9 Protecting British lives 10 Cost of living crisis I make that 10 Number One priorities. There are probably others

You can't force an insight. But you can create the conditions for one. Here's how. #insight #clarity

⚡️Universal truth is not measured in mass appeal.

@_The_Prophet__ 💯

@_The_Prophet__ Indeed. Long before…

⚡️The mind will protect identity before it protects accuracy.

No matter how far you've gone down the wrong road, turn back. That feeling of unease isn't the problem. It's the signal. #clarity #mindset

“Jews are the Nazis, are we?” “Yes, you are.” This is the sort of astonishing rhetoric that was espoused on yesterday’s “peace march”. When British Jews can’t march alongside so-called anti-racists without being labelled Nazis, we have a serious problem.
