Aristotle called it “vice.”
The Apostle Paul called it “sin.”
George Lucas called it “the dark side.”
Star Wars was originally designed to be a modern myth to pass on timeless wisdom.
There’s a lot of gold in what Lucas says here in this clip:

Crazy how quickly red incandescents put people to sleep, especially children.
Last night my gf was babysitting a 4 year old at our house and within 5 minutes of me switching the lighting to red incandescents she went from being a ball of energy to tired and ready for sleep.
Take notes parents.

The original Xbox dashboard has been fully reverse-engineered and reconstructed to run on PC. It’s not just a theme—it’s built using real retail code and can even launch your Steam games.

Dave Asprey just made me want to rip out every light bulb in my house.
He revealed that the US basically made traditional incandescent bulbs illegal to sell last year (with fines up to $440 per bulb for companies that break the rule), forcing everyone toward harsh, bright white LEDs and fluorescent lights that quietly mess with your brain, cause brain fog, and accelerate aging.
Studio lighting in particular is brutal. Asprey wears special glasses on set that block the toxic part of blue light, and he swears the difference in how his brain feels at the end of the day is massive.
His simple fix? Ditch the harsh blue light. Use warm 2700K bulbs, add dimmer switches, and get as close as possible to the old incandescent glow your body actually likes. He stocked up on thousands of incandescent bulbs right before they became illegal to sell.
(Note: While selling incandescent bulbs is now banned in the US and similar phase-outs have happened in the EU, Canada, and other countries, owning and using the ones you already have is still perfectly legal.)
Have you switched to warmer lighting at home yet, or are you still living under harsh cool-white LEDs? Noticed any difference in energy or mental clarity?

Imagine this, the attorney general is supposed to prosecute and stop fraud
Meanwhile his wife is actively making it harder for fraud to be exposed
Fraud is a billion dollar industry and they don’t want it to be stopped

How @elonmusk fixed Starlink:
“Starlink was a mess. It was 10X too expensive and they were building 1/10 of how many they needed.
Elon’s like I've had it. This is now the bottleneck. I'm fixing this.
He grabs a team of engineers that he trusts and they fly up to Seattle.
They fire the entire Starlink leadership team.
They sit down in a war room and they start running the algorithm.
•What is the first principles of satellite design?
•How simple can we make this thing?
•Why does this exist?
•Why are these two things so far apart?
•Why do we need this much energy?
•Why do we need this manufacturing process?
And over the course of a few months they make a two order of magnitude leap.
These people had never encountered this design before, but just by applying the algorithm and working with maniacal urgency towards this extremely high design bar, they created this product that's now —if it was a standalone business —would be worth tens of billions of dollars [or more].”

Academics, business leaders, and anyone stuck making PowerPoints: Grok 4.3 just turned a full tDCS/TMS neuroscience paper into this clean 9-slide academic deck in minutes. Cool tones, strong layout, easy to read fonts, exactly what I asked for. Stop doing the boring work. Grok it. What dense document do you want turned into a deck next? @grok @xai

Imagine watching your state get looted in broad daylight and deciding the real problem is the guy documenting it.

🚨 Exposing California's corrupt "Stop Nick Shirley Act", instead of going after the fraudsters California is now going after the people exposing the fraud. This bill AB 2624 will: - Criminalize journalists with misdemeanors, $10,000 fines, imprisonment, and content takedown - Let immigrant based NGOs' funding be confidential - Take away freedom of the press from journalists - Protect any "immigration support services" information from being public (healthcare, legal services, etc) This bill was created by the Attorney General's WIFE Mia Bonta to stop fraud from being exposed. Please like and share this video everywhere! By trying to silence and intimidate journalists, they are trying to hide the truth from you. EXPOSE ALL THE FRAUD.
