🇨🇳 Zhou Qunfei left school at 15 to polish watch glass in a Shenzhen factory with callused hands and HK$20k to her name. 30 years later she was seated between Elon and Tim Cook at the Trump-Xi state dinner. The journey in between: she founded Lens Technology in 2003, bet everything on precision glass, and became Apple's primary supplier for iPhone screens after 2007. Now she supplies Tesla, Samsung, and nearly every major consumer electronics company on the planet. Born in rural Hunan. Mother died young, father disabled. No safety net, no connections, no elite university. Just a factory floor and an obsession with getting the glass right. One of China's richest self-made women. Built entirely on a component most people never think about. A true story of overcoming adversity.

🇺🇸🇨🇳 Between previous U.S.-China summits and the one that just took place, a fundamental shift has happened. America is now negotiating with China as a peer, not a dominant power. In 2013, Obama went to California to meet Xi as the leader of the unipolar world, welcoming a rising China into an American-built order on American terms. In Trump's first term, he banned Huawei, weaponized semiconductors, and reframed the entire Pacific around containing China. This week, Trump flew to Beijing, accepted a personal tour of the Temple of Heaven, showered Xi with praise, and left touting soybean deals instead of demanding much more. At this point, Trump needs Xi more than Xi needs Trump, and Beijing extracted maximum symbolic value from that leverage. Obama tried to integrate China into the American order, Trump's first term tried to break it, Trump's second term is accommodating it. That isn’t a negotiating strategy, it’s acceptance of a new world order.

If I was looking to get into Live Oak and close to some of the best beaches I would scoop this up. It needs somebody with vision because the house from the '50s and dated, not a ton of charm but there's some descent elements and sq ft to work with. But the lot is big at 7500 sq ft and most of it is concrete which is a negative for buyers. It is a busy street but the beach is also right there! Plus Simpkins Swim Center, walking trails, legit food, grocery and coffee shops. Looking at the OG assessment I smell a trust sale and potential opportunity.

Obama on Iran: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz.”

Xi Jinping left the planet with its mouth hanging open. At a banquet with only 47 guests, the Chinese president looked at Trump and let loose without a filter: “Trump is making America great again.” Yes, you read that right. The leader of the Chinese Communist Party recited the MAGA slogan in public. Trump converted Xi to MAGA. Xi continued with an epic speech: “On the 250th anniversary of the independence of the United States, the more than 300 million Americans are revitalizing the spirit of patriotism, innovation, and entrepreneurship, and ushering in a new chapter in the history of the nation.” And he wrapped it up: “The peoples of China and the United States are two great peoples. The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and making America great again can go hand in hand. We can help each other succeed and bring prosperity to the whole world.” - @Jhonffonseca

The Pentagon hired Wall Street bankers to fight China's control of rare earth minerals. That sentence sounds strange. The reason it is happening is not. Bloomberg reports that from an office a few blocks from the White House, a team of former financiers is running the Pentagon's most ambitious effort yet to break China's grip on the critical minerals that power every modern weapons system, EV, smartphone, and semiconductor on earth. Their mission: create independent supply chains before the next trade war forces another humiliating retreat. The retreat they are trying to prevent already happened. When Trump's 2025 tariff escalation pushed China to restrict rare earth exports, Washington discovered it had almost no domestic alternative. China controls 70% of global rare earth mining and 90% of all processing. The minerals inside F-35 fighter jets, Virginia-class submarines, Tomahawk missiles, and every advanced radar system depend on Chinese processing. When Beijing turned off the tap, the trade war had to pause. The Pentagon has now spent nearly $5 billion over the past year to reverse that dependency. Project Vault, a strategic reserve for rare earth elements, will be funded with a $10 billion loan from the Export-Import Bank and $1.67 billion in private capital. The government extended $1.6 billion to USA Rare Earth in exchange for equity. A $96 million contract with Australia's Lynas Rare Earths is producing heavy rare earths in Malaysia for the first time outside China. The first new US rare earth mine in 70 years broke ground in Wyoming in July 2025. Vice President Vance framed it at the State Department in February: "We want to form a trading bloc among allies that guarantees American access to American industrial might. What is before all of us is an opportunity at self-reliance." The CCP built its rare earth dominance deliberately over three decades, subsidizing production, accepting environmental costs Western companies would not, and waiting for the moment the dependency became leverage. That moment arrived in 2025. Wall Street bankers are now the response. #China #CCP #RareEarths #CriticalMinerals #Pentagon #NationalSecurity #Geopolitics #SupplyChain #TradeWar #Defense

Human consciousness may be far more than a product of our neural wiring. It may be a quantum phenomenon occurring deep within our brain's cellular structure. For decades, scientists have viewed the brain as a biological computer where consciousness emerges from complex neural connections. However, the Orchestrated Objective Reduction (Orch OR) theory, developed by physicist Sir Roger Penrose and anesthesiologist Dr. Stuart Hameroff, challenges this classical perspective. The theory proposes that consciousness is actually rooted in quantum processes within tiny structures called microtubules found inside neurons. Instead of simple electrical signals, these researchers argue that our stream of consciousness is a rapid sequence of quantum collapses occurring at the most fundamental level of reality, suggesting the mind is more deeply connected to the physics of the universe than previously imagined. While once considered fringe, the science behind Orch OR is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. Quantum coherence, a state once thought to be impossible in warm biological environments, has recently been observed in everything from bird navigation to plant photosynthesis. Most significantly, research published in 2025 identified microtubules as a functional target for anesthetic molecules, directly supporting one of the theory's most controversial predictions. As empirical evidence continues to align with these quantum models, we are likely witnessing a paradigm shift in neuroscience that could finally unlock the mystery of how we experience the world. source: Penrose, R., & Hameroff, S.

@ShiningScience but what if we're not talking about where it emerges from, but rather how our current understanding of computation is too simplistic to begin with?

Yes, you can: “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”- “2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”- Romans - 12:2 KJV (Thanks for the reminder. I really needed to read this myself today). God bless you !

@ShiningScience Penrose and Hameroff’s theory gaining ground. If consciousness has quantum roots, it changes more than neuroscience, it changes how we think about intelligence itself.

Researchers in Singapore have introduced a groundbreaking concept—a potential universal cancer vaccine designed to target and stop multiple types of cancer. Early laboratory findings suggest the vaccine can train the immune system to detect and attack cancer cells across a wide range of tumor types. The approach works by activating the body’s natural defenses to recognize shared markers found in cancerous cells, enabling a broad and coordinated immune response. Initial studies indicate that treated cells showed strong resistance to tumor growth, pointing toward a possible path for both prevention and long-term protection, especially for individuals at higher risk. Although these results are still in the early stages and require extensive clinical testing in humans, scientists remain cautiously hopeful. This strategy represents a major shift from conventional treatments like chemotherapy and radiation, focusing instead on strengthening the immune system to fight cancer proactively. If proven effective, such a vaccine could transform cancer care—potentially lowering global cancer rates and saving countless lives. It offers renewed hope and signals a future where cancer may become far more manageable, or even preventable. What if a single vaccine could one day protect humanity from nearly all forms of cancer?
