@thehealthb0t Iannotti LL, et al., have a few similar studies showing improvements in growth and IQ. Good find. Although they're not double-blind trials pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28588101/ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29092879/

@AtelierMissor_ Of course, the list is endless, and its already a mountain of work. But, if you have Plato and Alexander the great, its reasonable to include Aristotle.

Our dream is to build a great wall, with a gigantic fresco carved into it depicting the epic of mankind. This is the chronology.

THESE CERTIFICATES ARE RECOGNISED IN AUSTRALIA. Kerala Police have busted a massive interstate racket dealing in fake educational certificates. THANKS ALBO.

How Expedition 33 pulled off the Greatest heist in Gaming history: > Used AI and flipped Unreal Engine assets to speed up development >Hired Jennifer English to compensate (three time GOTY winner VA) >Promoted an “inclusive experience” with black and gay characters to generate funding from ESG investors >Dangled all the DEI as bait in the prologue, prompting IGN to skim the intro and hand out a 9/10 for “progressiveness.” >immediately kills them all off at the end of the prologue (30 minutes in) >Drops the mask immediately and reveals the real cast of white characters, plus a barefoot Japanese woman ❤️ >Wins game of the year Without a doubt, the greatest bait and switch masterclass in gaming history. Thankyou Expedition 33.

@romanhelmetguy In this regard, is merit not defined by the quality of doing the job well? Is a ruler not supposed to have their constituents best interest in mind? And their trust? Its reasonable to assume a foreigner may have interests misaligned with their new countries population.

Aristotle used the word “aristocracy” to mean what we now call “meritocracy”: rule of the best. But if you told Aristotle that true meritocracy meant inviting the smartest Persians to rule Athens, he would’ve had you tried and executed for treason.

@zeeemedia @elonmusk Click 3-dots>See less often. Problem solved.

Hey @elonmusk - why am I, a person living in America (which this app knows because you have our geolocation info), getting notifications that I need to verify my age in accordance with the government of Australia’s demands?

@BiancoDavinci Except the original coin was worth >2000% more than the Euro shitcoin.

Greece uses the same design on its 1 euro coins that was used 2500 years ago in athens.

@SamaHoole Use AI to write that too, or just your tweets?

If you enjoyed that slice of history, you should check out the article I wrote on the origins of the pork taboo. fitawakening.co.uk/2022/12/07/por…

Ancient Middle East, roughly 1000 BCE. Multiple religions suddenly develop prohibitions against pork. Judaism, Islam, later various Christian sects. The explanation given is hygiene. Pork carries trichinosis. It's "unclean." But here's the interesting part: Cattle and sheep carry diseases too. Anthrax, brucellosis, various parasites. Yet beef and lamb are deemed clean and acceptable. The real reason for pork prohibition is economic and political. Pigs are democratic animals. They're easy to raise. Any peasant family can keep a pig, feed it scraps, and have meat for winter. Pigs don't require large grazing lands. They convert waste into protein efficiently. Cattle and sheep, however, require pasture. Land. Lots of it. Land that must be controlled, owned, managed. Land that concentrates in the hands of those wealthy enough to hold it. In ancient societies, if everyone can raise pigs, everyone has access to meat. Power disperses. But if meat requires cattle grazing on large estates, meat access becomes controllable. The priests and rulers who established dietary laws weren't idiots. They understood that pork democratized protein access. A peasant with a pig was independent. A peasant dependent on beef from landlord's cattle was controlled. The "unclean" designation wasn't about parasites. It was about power. This pattern repeats through history. Medieval European nobility consumed pork freely while peasants were restricted. Victorian England saw pork associated with lower classes while beef signified wealth and status. Modern industrial agriculture has inverted some of this. Factory-farmed pork became cheap commodity meat. But the cultural associations remain. Beef is prestigious. Pork is common. The interesting thing is pork is nutritionally excellent. High in fat, rich in B vitamins, contains all essential amino acids. It's particularly high in thiamine, crucial for metabolism. But it was shamed, restricted, and prohibited not because it was inferior, but because it was too accessible. When everyone can access protein, hierarchies flatten. The elites have always understood this. That's why pork was made "unclean" while beef and lamb were sanctified. Control the meat supply, control the population. If that meat supply is too easy to produce independently, demonize it.

@jamestalarico Your belief in the zero sum fallacy shows a lack of either deep thinking or intelligence. I'd suggest you both read more widely and think more deeply. Be a creator of value, not a second-hander.

Elon Musk is about to become the first trillionaire. The reason poverty exists in the wealthiest country on earth isn't because we can't feed the poor — it's because we can't satisfy the rich. We should tax trillionaires out of existence.

@vxunderground glitchndealz.com used to have lots of these. Large trampolines for $1.20, 4ppl jacuzzi for $8.90, etc. Usually higher priced stuff with the decimal mistyped. Seems the sites a mix of glitches and regular promos now though.

I found this group of schizo money nerds who unironically stalk large retailers (programmatically, hopefully) to discover errors in pricing. It turns out, large retailers make mistakes when pushing things to prod (sometimes). For example, Walmart made a mistake and currently selling 12 pairs of jeans for $17 online. The individual pair of jeans should be $17.

@TheMuppetPastor Men are inspired by the feminine ideal; Driven to protect it, and inspired to create great things by its muse. See: Taj Mahal, Petit Trianon, Für Elise, The Birth of Venus, Venus de Milo, etc.

That’s because you don’t understand how men think. We want to see what is REAL. This is intimate to us. You’re just being yourself, knitting and smiling. Not for a camera; it’s just a simple and happy moment. Men treasure that far more than glamor photos.

@newstart_2024 This guys a scammer, has been debunked multiple times, called out many times, and refuses to debate any field experts...

Gary Brecka just dropped a total paradigm-shifter while sitting with Barbara O’Neill and the room went silent… Brecka: “The parabolic rise in skin cancer is almost perfectly superimposable with the parabolic rise in sunscreen use.” O’Neill: “Exactly. Author Ian Whishart claims sunscreens themselves are causing basal cell carcinomas.” Brecka: “It’s the inflammatory process on the skin + the vitamin D deficiency. We were literally designed to manufacture ONLY ONE vitamin in our bodies — vitamin D3 from sunlight + cholesterol — and then we spent decades vilifying both the sun and cholesterol.” O’Neill nodding hard: “And the vitamin D deficiency is massive…” Not medical advice, not telling anyone what to do — just two of the most followed health voices on the planet openly challenging 50 years of “fear the sun” programming. Watch with your own ears and tell me this didn’t just rewire your brain

Kind of odd that @TIDAL doesn't accept bitcoin payments 🤔 Esp given its majority owned by Block Inc (owns Bitkey, Proto, Square, and has $1B of bitcoin), which is owned by @jack

@Heccles94 @dave_derrick The collectivist is always interested in the group above the individual..

@dave_derrick The point is about systems, not individuals. We need a sustainable system that works for all. Not an unsustainable which looks good at the individual level, but actually is not that impactful or sustainable as a system.

Billionaires contribute between 0.5% and 3% of the UK government income Meanwhile public sector workers contribute about 8-11% Small business about 15% Why is everyone rushing to protect the billionaires?
