@elonmusk Does this mean the beginning of a new social peace or the beginning of the end?

When you’re 5 years old, a year is 20% of your life. And when you’re 50 years old, a year is 2% of your life. This is an explanation given why time speeds up as you age. It's called Janet's law. It states you’ve experienced roughly half of your perceived by life by 20 years old. Or to put it another way: A summer holiday for a 5 year old feels as long as the 10 years from 40 to 50 years old.
But Janet's law can be broken with high agency.
You have agency over the speed time. You're not a passive victim. A better explanation of why time speeds up as you age is because you have fewer new experiences as an adult, so your brain deletes the memories. If you take agency over your life, do new things and create memory dividends, time slows down.
If you live your life on autopilot, you may die at 80, but feel like you died at 20 years old.
If you take agency over your life, you may diet at 80, but feel like you died at 200 years old.

For anyone who would like to hear Mark Carney’s outstanding Davos speech in full here it is. This is what true global leadership looks like.
Canada should be immensely proud today, because they are leading the fight back when others dare not.

My column on Venezuela in @TheEconomist
“Prosperity does not come from oil, decrees or even benevolent rulers. It comes from rights. Rights create private property. Rights create security. Rights create debate. Rights allow people to invest, to innovate, to dream—and to transform reality. Take rights away, and society withers. Restore them, and recovery is possible.”

The Station Nightclub fire happened in 2003. No smartphones. No Instagram.
100 people still died because they stood watching the flames, thinking it was part of the show.
I've retrofitted fire safety for some of the largest property portfolios in the UK post-grenfell.
You are confusing stupidity with biology, physics, and catastrophic design failures.
Here is the actual science of what you are watching:
1. When the music keeps playing and staff don't panic, the human brain overrides flight instincts to fit the threat into a normal context. This is called normalcy bias. These kids froze to process conflicting social cues, not to post for likes. They were likely already filming. They were also likely drunk.
2. We explicitly design buildings to account for this hesitation (pre-movement time). Fire safety codes assume people will wait before running. In a compliant building, you can assume up to a minute or two before egress commences. Sprinklers and detection systems are designed specifically to buy that time.
3. The reason the time buffer didn't exist here is the material. That ceiling is polyurethane foam. It doesn't burn linearly; it hits flashover (1,100°F) in under 90 seconds. It's essentially solid gasoline. The room would have exploded for all intents and purposes. Way before anyone could reasonably evacuate.
4. We calculate exit widths based on how many people can physically pass through a door per minute (flow rate) versus how fast a fire spreads. With foam fires, the available safe egress time drops to almost zero. Even if they had reacted instantly, the crowd density would have choked the exits before the room cleared.
5. In any normal building fire, especially one that starts off small, you expect a responsible adult to put it out, or sprinklers to do the same. When there's a pan fire in a restaurant, you don't run out in case the entire building suddenly explodes. No reasonable person should have expected this unless they were the owner and knew how the building was designed.
Those poor teenagers likely passed out from smoke inhalation soon after this video. If they didn't, they would have been caught in a catastrophic explosion as they crammed into the single tiny exit.
They didn't die because of Instagram.
They died because the physics of the fire moved faster than human bodies can physically squeeze through a door, and a catastrophic disregard of safe design principles meant they never stood a chance.

This clip truly epitomizes the age of Instagram stupidity, where the urge to record stuff is now powerful enough to override instincts programmed into humans since the dawn of time.

Please see this statement of #Natallia #Pinchuk, wife of just released #Belarus human rights defender #AlesBialiatski. I proudly served as their pro bono international counsel since April 2023.
Statement of Natallia Pinchuk
Wife of Ales Bialiatski, Chair of Viasna Human Rights Centre, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate (2022), and Former Political Prisoner of Belarus
“The greatest fear of any #political #prisoner is to be forgotten. Today is an extraordinary day that I feared would never come. My husband, #AlesBialiatski, is one of 123 prisoners who have been released from prison in #Belarus. Ales is not only out of prison but now also safely out of Belarus and we will be reunited shortly. I could not be more grateful for the help of President @realdonaldtrump & White House Special Envoy @johnpcoale, who made this happen. And I remain thankful for #Norway Prime Minister @jonasgahrstore and his Government for providing me a home and protecting me over these many years. Of course, our family also appreciates the efforts of countless others that supported Ales and me through this terrible journey.”

Señor Presidente de la Nación
Ante los persistentes trascendidos sobre modificaciones en el Gabinete Nacional, me dirijo a Usted con el objeto de presentarle mi renuncia al cargo de Jefe de Gabinete de Ministros, para que pueda afrontar sin condicionamientos la etapa de gobierno que se inicia luego de las elecciones nacionales del pasado 26 de octubre.
Le agradezco profundamente la oportunidad de servir con lealtad y patriotismo a nuestro país y a su gobierno.
Por extraña coincidencia, mi primer acto como Ministro del Interior y mi último como Jefe de Gabinete fueron reunir a los Gobernadores de las Provincias con el Poder Ejecutivo Nacional con el objeto de encontrar mecanismos de diálogo y generación de consensos, imprescindibles para avanzar en las reformas estructurales que la Argentina necesita.
Ha sido para mi un honor ser parte de un proyecto transformador que tiene por objeto encaminar a nuestro país en una senda de libertad y progreso.
Sepa que, como hasta hoy, siempre podrá contar conmigo. Deseándole el mayor de los éxitos, con el afecto de siempre,
Guillermo Francos
