tout ce que vous avez aimé, tout ce que vous avez perdu,tout ce que vous avez construit, chaque être humain qui a vécu, chaque civilisation qui s’est élevée et effondrée, chaque guerre, chaque premier cri de nouveau né & chaque dernier souffle tout ça s’est passé sur cette boule bleue qui flotte dans le vide 8 milliards d’âmes accrochées à un grain de poussière suspendu dans un rayon de soleil au milieu d’un univers de 93 milliards d’années-lumière qui en a strictement rien à faire de notre existence et cette fine ligne bleue que vous voyez sur le bord c’est l’atmosphère, c’est tout ce qui sépare la vie du néant, une couche de gaz plus fine proportionnellement que la peau d’une pomme et derrière il y a le vide, le silence absolu, le froid cosmique, rien…pendant des milliards d’années-lumière dans toutes les directions rien… et malgré ça sur ce petit point perdu dans l’immensité il y a des gens qui se détestent pour des frontières invisibles depuis l’espace, des gens qui se tuent pour des lignes tracées sur du sable, des gens qui passent leur vie à accumuler des choses qu’ils laisseront derrière eux, quand vous regardez cette photo chaque conflit chaque ego, chaque course au statut devient tellement absurde que ça en devient presque comique vos ancêtres sont tous nés et morts sur cette boule, les miens aussi, les ancêtres de chaque être humain qui lira ces lignes aussi, on partage tous le même vaisseau depuis 4.5 milliards d’années et on a nulle part d’autre où aller, du moins pas encore je pense que cette photo devrait être accrochée dans chaque bureau de chef d’État, chaque salle de conseil d’administration et chaque salle de classe sur terre juste pour rappeler à tout le monde que tout ce qui a jamais compté pour l’humanité entière tient sur quelques pixels dans l’obscurité

@davidasinclair What does that even mean? My death risks are already 100%, like everyone else.

Short sleep increases death risk ~12%. Protect your nights.

@paulg Breguet, tourbillon. Because he invented it. Because it’s such a wonderfully nuts and poetic idea, to correct earth’s gravity for even more accuracy. Because Churchill carried his in all circumstances. And in a time of great lack of leadership rectitude, it means even more.

A massive new study on peak performance included 34,000 international top performers: Nobel laureates, renowned classical music composers, Olympic champs, and the world’s best chess players. It shows early specialization is a trap, and the road to greatness is long and varied.

Oh boy, where to start?

@CynicalPublius @realDonaldTrump is on Founder Mode

To fully understand just how remarkable today’s exchange with Colombia was, you need to understand how Washington DC has traditionally worked through these sorts of issues, and the different way it works now under Trump. I’ll illustrate. Traditional Approach: 1. Colombia announces it will not take our repatriation flights. 2. On Monday, the State Department convenes an interagency task force with DoD, NSC, DEA, INS, ICE, Commerce, Treasury and Homeland Security. 3. The task force meets for four days and develops a position paper. 4. The position paper is rejected by the Secretary of State, who is unhappy that insufficient equity considerations are built into the process. 5. The task force reconvenes a week later to redevelop three new, equity-centric courses of action and create a new position paper. 6. The process is delayed a week because Washington DC gets three inches of snow. 7. SecState approves the new position paper for interagency circulation, and considerable input is received from the heads of other departments so the task force must reconvene. 8. The original three proposed responsive courses of action are scrapped in favor of a new, fourth course of action that achieves the worst aspects of the three prior courses of action but satisfies the interagency. 9. Someone in State who disagrees leaks to the Washington Post, who writes a story about how ineffective the Presidential administration is. 10. The White House Chief of Staff sets up a session three days later to brief the President, who approves the new fourth course of action. 11. Over a month after the issue is first raised, the State Department Public Affairs Officer holds a press conference announcing that Colombia has agreed to try to send fewer criminals into the US and everyone declares victory. Trump Approach: 1. Colombia announces it will not take our repatriation flights. 2. After a par-5 third hole where he goes one under par, Trump uses his iPhone to post on social media as to how the USA will destroy Colombia’s economy if they do not do what the USA demands. 3. By the time Trump gets to the par-4 sixth hole, Colombia’s President has agreed to repatriate all the illegal Colombians in his own plane, which he will pay for. 4. Trump finishes three under par and goes to the clubhouse for a Diet Coke where he posts a gangsta AI image of himself and the new FAFO Doctrine. 5. Winning. See the difference? It’s called LEADERSHIP.

I’ve seen @elonmusk grave mistake over and over: Executives who join the Gvnmt can only reason from the, no surprise, Executive branch standpoint. Eventually they get f… for ignoring or front clashing with the Legislative, the Judiciary and sometimes the Military.
