I like having a bit of anonymity in an exhibitionist world. Humanism 🕊

All gov apps in all countries When it will become mandatory, have it on a spare phone with vpn fixed in one location and an app to modify phone GPS to the same localization @ivpn phone gps align with VPN localization would be a nice feature .


Pro Palestinian groups are outraged now at the @WCKitchen for.... making food for Israelis whose homes were destroyed by illegal cluster bomb and ballistic missiles fired by the Islamic Republic of Iran on Israeli civilians. These are the same people who told you they just cared about human rights.

A dissipative system is an open system operating far from equilibrium that relies on *flows* to maintain its internal organization and structure raccefyn.co/index.php/racc… + riviste.fupress.net/index.php/cary… #LimaDeFaria #Constructal




These pages of history are stuck together 🚨 Israel’s former Finance Minister ousted Bibi Netanyahu when he tried to Extend a Special Tax Haven Law for Hollywood Mogul Arnon Milchan — A Thank you for Arnon’s role in once Smuggling Nuclear Tech for Israel Yes… we are finally going there.. 🔻 Arnon Milchan is an Israeli billionaire (net worth ~$6.4B as of 2026), Hollywood film producer (over 130 films including Pretty Woman, Fight Club, L.A. Confidential), and literally a former Israeli intelligence operative. Milchan was benefiting from Israel's "Milchan Law" (Amendment 168, 2008), which gave new/returning residents a 10-year tax exemption on foreign income. As the exemption neared its end, he sought to extend it to 20 years. He pushed Netanyahu to extend this law to pay less in taxes… a tax law that benefits only few. Netanyahu went on to urge his Finance Minister to extend the tax law. He refused. In Netanyahu's ongoing corruption trial (Case 1000), prosecutors allege Milchan gave the Netanyahu family hundreds of thousands of dollars in luxury gifts (cigars and champagne) over years. In return, Netanyahu tried to push changes to extend or enhance the tax breaks for Milchan (and others). Milchan testified he discussed his tax issues with Netanyahu. Netanyahu denies any quid pro quo. 🔻THE MOTHER OF ALL ADMITTANCES ON NATIONAL TELEVISION In a 2013 interview on Israel's Channel 2 program Uvda, Milchan publicly admitted for the first time that he worked for ~20 years (1960s–1980s) as an operative for LAKAM (a secretive Israeli agency). He helped procure arms, technology, and materials—including krytrons (nuclear triggers)—to support Israel's nuclear weapons program. He said he did it "for my country and I'm proud of it," describing the risky work as serving Israel like a real-life James Bond.

Like an appreciation of progress, reading and literacy are among the things that are good but cognitively unnatural. That is, they go against our evolved nature. We didn’t evolve with print; it was a recent invention. Reading, for many of us, has become so second nature that we just assume it’s the most natural way of getting information. But what we’ve seen, especially in the last 10 years, when video has become so cheap because of the cloud computing revolution and the broadband revolution, is that a lot of people, unlike us, much prefer to listen and watch than to read. You just see this: when I go to Google and ask a basic question about how to unstick my printer or solve a problem, I get like five videos. And I just want a paragraph that would solve it. I don’t want to see Seth saying, “Hi, welcome to my show. If you like it, subscribe and give it a like.” So just help me solve the problem. But clearly there’s something unusual about me, because people are going for the video. And the massive availability of video—of TikTok, of YouTube—means that people may not be getting the practice or putting in the effort into literacy, which we have reason to believe was one of the drivers of the Flynn effect and of cognitive sophistication in general. @HumanProgress
