An Arab scholar in 1011 was placed under house arrest in Cairo for 10 years. He used the time to invent the scientific method, prove how vision actually works, and write a 7-volume book that Newton studied 600 years later. I read about him last night and could not stop thinking about it. His name was Ibn al-Haytham. The book is called the "Book of Optics." The textbook story names Bacon, Galileo, and Descartes as the founders of modern science. All three of them came 600 years after Ibn al-Haytham. All three of them studied his work directly or through Latin translations. The man who actually invented the scientific method was working alone in a single room in Cairo while Europe was still in the Dark Ages. Here is the story almost nobody tells you. He was born in Basra around 965 CE. By his 40s he had a reputation across the Arab world as one of the most original minds alive. Then he made the mistake that almost killed him. He claimed publicly that he could regulate the flooding of the Nile. The mad caliph al-Hakim of Cairo summoned him to Egypt to do it. Ibn al-Haytham took one look at the river and realized the project was impossible with the technology of his era. The caliph had executed dozens of scholars for less. So he faked madness. The caliph believed him and put him under house arrest in his own home in Cairo for the next 10 years. Most people would have lost their actual mind. He used the time to invent science. Before him, knowledge worked one way. You quoted authority. If Aristotle had said it, it was true. If Galen had written it, it was correct. The role of a scholar was to memorize and defend the ancient Greeks. I Ibn al-Haytham broke this completely. He wrote a sentence in the Book of Optics that quietly destroyed 1,400 years of intellectual culture. "The seeker after truth," he said, "is not the one who follows his natural disposition to trust the writings of the ancients. The seeker after truth is the one who suspects them, questions them, and submits only to argument and experiment." That single sentence is the foundation of modern science. He wrote it 600 years before the European Renaissance. The second thing he did was build the actual machinery of experimentation. He insisted that no claim about the physical world was acceptable until it had been verified by an experiment anyone could repeat. He gave detailed instructions for every experiment in his book. He told his readers, in writing, not to take his word for any of it. Build the equipment. Run the tests yourself. Verify or destroy my claims with your own eyes. The third thing he did was use the method to overturn one of the most settled questions in physics. The Greeks had taught for centuries that vision worked because the eye emitted invisible rays. Ibn al-Haytham proved them wrong with a darkened room, a small hole, and a wall. The first camera obscura. He showed that light from the outside world enters the eye, the exact opposite of what every Greek thinker had taught. Two hundred years later his book was translated into Latin in Spain. Roger Bacon cited him. Kepler cited him. Galileo's work on the telescope was built on his optics. Newton's foundational work on light rested on his framework. Walk into any physics department today. Ask who founded the scientific method. Almost nobody will say Ibn al-Haytham. The man who invented the way humanity actually knows things did the work under house arrest, with no funding, no laboratory, and a paranoid caliph next door waiting for an excuse to kill him. He did it anyway. Most of the world is still pretending it was someone else's idea.

This guy truly loves her. He was visibly angry, yet he never disrespected her. He even covered her up properly and secured her phone. If they just quit the drinking, these are two genuinely good people who deeply care for each other.

Sesko is a nice guy from a good home. Loved and cared for. Lacks hate and bitterness in his heart. I hate those kinds of players.

Westerners think it’s a fumble when powerful states refuse to be brutal transcontinental colonizers. This is why they can’t fathom China’s geopolitical posture even today; their entire view of China, and many other rising powers, is shaped by their own history and assumptions. These are civilizations that built reputations on dominating and suppressing others. They remember what they did to the world when they held so much power and can’t understand why others with similar power historically and even today are more restrained.
David Shapiro (L/0)@DaveShapi

For context, China had the technology for gunpowder, printing, and blue ocean exploration hundreds of years before Europe. They failed to use it. That goes beyond a generational fumble. That is a self inflicted civilizational fumble that China still hasn't made up for.

In my dating life, I stop talking to a lot of women after 2 weeks. Most think it is conceit or absence of desire. Yet, I have been loved, I know what reciprocity looks like. I work very hard in life, I don't want another hard work in the form of a woman.

Microsoft even disabled the ICC Chief prosecutor Karim Khan and his team's email accounts on behalf of Israel. Francesca Albanese was cut off from all her bank accounts; unable to open new ones or use/ get credit cards. When you confront them, they will come at you for everything, from every angle— to discredit and silence you. They control the banking systems through which money flows globally, whether through financial institutions or intermediaries like Stripe. When the US sanctioned Albanese last year, it wasn't just her money that was frozen— her hotel bookings were cancelled, her health insurance refused to reimburse her, she couldn't even use most apps. Even the Christmas gifts her 13-year-old daughter received were sanctioned. And she was reprimanded only after she began focusing her attention on the powerful American corporations complicit in funding and enabling the genocide in Gaza. She wrote letters to 48 companies, universities and financial institutions notifying them that they were complicit in and profiting from a genocide— the Trump Administration instantly moved to punish her. They have infiltrated and can manipulate every facet of your existence in ways beyond your wildest imagination. They will try to exploit every component of your life in order to make it work against you. Remain cognizant of this in every aspect of what you think is your *private* life. They don't just control the weapons that kill, but the algorithms on your phone that can be used to dictate your life as well.

Did you guys know that the judges that issued international arrest warrants for Netanyahu were sanctioned by the United states and as a result are completely unable to access their bank accounts or do any banking due to Visa and Mastercard?
