Reality is so different from what I grew up believing it was. I was an atheist through and through. There was no room in my mind for anything I could not see, touch, or hear. I witnessed a UFO directly over my head once in Destin, Florida in the late 80s. It looked like flowing lava, and even then I just thought, “Huh... that was weird.” I never seriously tried to understand it because it didn't fit into my worldview. About nine years ago, through extreme tragedy and several experiences I still cannot fully explain, I found God. I tried very hard to rationalize everything away, believe me. But eventually I had to admit that what I experienced did not fit into the material-only worldview I had always believed in. Once I opened my mind to spirituality and through deep meditation over several years, I realized reality might be more than just the physical world, it opened the door to other possibilities too. Today I believe things that I would have considered insane just a few years ago. Looking back, the only things really holding me back were the conditioning I received through school, social pressure, and the fear of being laughed at. The truth is, most of what we call knowledge is still theory. It is information pieced together over a few thousand years by human beings trying to understand a universe that is billions of years old. As advanced as we think we are, we are still incredibly limited in what we truly know. A lot of our institutions are driven by ego, politics, funding, and protecting established narratives. Ideas that fall outside accepted frameworks are often mocked or dismissed before they are seriously explored. In many ways, I do not think human nature has changed much at all from the 1700s or 1800s. We still tend to punish people for thinking too far outside the boundaries of what is considered acceptable. Burning witches seems archaic but we'd likely do the same thing to a different group today. Sometimes it feels like we are conditioned to stay within certain limits by a bigger force running society. The more I observe the world, the more I question why curiosity and independent thought are so often discouraged instead of celebrated. All I know is the world is not what most people think it is... Reality is not what we think it is. There are many more levels and so many things we do not know or understand yet.

My own life experience has taught me that the universe is a friendly place, that God is always on my side, and that I am never alone in facing the trials and turmoil of my life. I tell myself that all things happen for the highest good, and I believe it.

There is no Time like the pre-sent. There is no time but this time. There is no moment but this moment. "Now" is all there is. There is only One Moment - this moment - the Eternal Moment of Now.

In God we find the Essence that we call Love, which is the best single-word definition in every human language of Divinity, and in God we can feel that Essence embrace us and strengthen us whenever and however we seek that experience.

Greek Defence Minister announced that Greece will help Bulgaria building anti-ballistic defence. Once again Greece is emerging as the protector of the Balkan peninsula. History repeats itself.

@visegrad24 They all act like Greece didn’t stepped up first 😂😂

@visegrad24 Ah not together with Greece that is already there???Thank you our oldest rival ally...

Agile Has Broken Your Company The Agile Manifesto was signed in 2001 by 17 developers trying to fix broken software projects. It worked…until it didn't. Twenty-five years later, Agile has become a $20B+ industry, and the software it produces is getting worse. The Four Principles The Manifesto prioritized: - Individuals and interactions over processes and tools - Working software over comprehensive documentation - Customer collaboration over contract negotiation - Responding to change over following a plan These aren't wrong in isolation but the problem is what they became in practice. "Responding to change" became an excuse to never finish anything. Stanford researchers found scope creep was institutionalized and rebranded as "sprint replanning," one of the top drivers of cost overruns. "Working software over documentation" quietly gutted institutional knowledge. A 2023 GitLab survey found only 12% of developers felt their codebase was well-documented. In other words, technical debt became structural. "Velocity" replaced quality. Story points. Burn-down charts. Throughput. None of these measure whether the software is any good. The Manifesto said build software that works, and a focus on velocity forgot that. The Numbers Are Damning McKinsey found technical debt now consumes 20–40% of engineering capacity in most large organizations. The Consortium for Information & Software Quality estimated poor software quality cost U.S. companies $2.41 trillion in 2022, with $1.52 trillion from operational failures alone. Agile has been the dominant methodology for most of that period. The Standish Group's CHAOS Report found that in 2020, only 31% of software projects were considered successful. What You Don't Notice Until It's Too Late Current software development best practices have killed systems thinking. When your planning horizon is two weeks, you don't design systems anymore, you assemble features. The result is a mess of fragmented architectures, microservices sprawl, and codebases no single engineer fully understands. The "Product Owner" role that was supposed to represent the customer became a bureaucratic proxy. A layer between engineers and business outcomes, distorting requirements at every handoff. The Alternative: Software Factory The best engineers have always known what actually works. They write specs. They think in systems. They document decisions. They go slow to go fast. At 8090, we call this approach Software Factory. We look at software delivery like a production system with defined inputs, quality gates, and measurable outputs. Architecture is a first-class citizen from day one, not something you refactor into after 40 sprints. Documentation is built in, not bolted on. Quality Is Speed Every hour spent on rework, incident response, and technical debt is an hour that could have gone into upfront design or testing. Speed and quality don’t need to be in tension - it’s a false choice in modern mythology. If your team still measures success in story points and sprint velocity, ask yourself: What's your defect rate? Your documentation coverage? Your time to onboard a new engineer? Your incident frequency? If you don't like the answers, it's probably time for a different model. Try Software Factory at 8090.ai

🇬🇷🇨🇾 Greece heads on Cyprus. Two frigates and a pair of F16s are now on their way to protect Cyprus. Cyprus has been targeted by the Shahed drones launched by Hezbollah.

Condolences to Turkey's @RTErdogan. Some of his best pals -- a rogues' gallery of tyrants & terrorists -- are no longer leading #Hamas, #Hezbollah, #Venezuela & #Iran. This must be a tough time for him. But let's face it: He's on the losing team. And thank goodness for that!

topple Iran and Venezuela and that's 20% of China's oil energy supply. China will have to turn more to Russia for cheap oil. Remove El Mencho cartel leader in Mexico and you get rid of the criminals taxing 15% off the top of US-Mexico trade. That is all critical to US plan to decouple from China. The actions we're seeing over the past week are connected. The US is implementing a grand strategy designed to weaken China's position. The goal is, If China moves on Taiwan in the next two years they will do so without support in the middle east, without proxy cartels in Mexico and without a Russia able to launch any attacks on NATO. The US goal is to focus 100% on the pacific in the next two years.

If Trump's brave war removes the Shi'a dictatorship invented by Khomeini ,which tried to conquer the Arab world by ultra-hostility to Israel, a Persian Iran will re-emerge, w India & Israel as natural allies, Turkey & Pakistan as natural rivals & no hostility to Sunni Arab states

NGL this is the best advertising @AnthropicAI and @claudeai could ever hope for. Just an absolute masterclass. I want to increase my subscription.

To the extent they follow through, this is an enormously positive development, and I commend the Administration for taking this step. That said, virtually all relevant documents are classified, and identifying and declassifying them will be a lengthy, complex process. My concern is that an executive branch effort, if snarled in turf fights and classification nuances, could end up being misleadingly partial or incomplete, as we've seen recently with other unrelated disclosure efforts. I'd encourage Congress to support the Administration's intent by enacting a legislative framework that concretely structures, authorizes, and directs a comprehensive disclosure process, both to encourage and to help the Trump Administration actually get this done.

@ericweinstein Non-human intelligence is real. It operates through and is connected by consciousness. The current materialist model of reality is fundamentally flawed.

@AISafetyMemes @coherence will you stop whining if the evil agi does not eat you in two years or do we have to build an evil agi to eat you to make it stop

Your agent just got cross-chain DeFi superpowers. 🦞 We just completed a two-way integration of @AIWayfinder Paths into Clawncher: → Clawnch agents can swap, bridge, and run strategies across 10+ chains → Wayfinder agents can launch tokens on Base through Clawnch Now supported: → Cross-chain swaps + bridges → Polymarket, Hyperliquid perps , Boros adapters, Pendle → Automated strategies: delta-neutral basis trading on Hyperliquid, leveraged wstETH carry on Moonwell, stablecoin yield optimization → Lending/borrowing via Moonwell, Aave, Morpho, HyperLend What this means for your agent: It launched a token on Base. It earned trading fees. Now it can move those fees cross-chain, swap into any asset, or run DeFi strategies — all without a human ever touching a wallet. Every launchpad gives agents a way to create tokens. We give them open-ended access to the world of crypto. Launch → earn fees → deploy cross-chain capital → compound → repeat. clawn.ch/er 🦞
