@PalmerLuckey @zhao_dashuai Palmer when did China last invade anyone? 1979. Let's be real about who the threat is to world peace here.

@zhao_dashuai Okay bro, have fun pretending China isn't creating the largest army in history to invade and sieze the democracies of their choice.

How it feels when your tax money is used to build up your own country rather than fighting foreign wars.

Nope Person 11 (a junior soldier) shot Ali Jan under BRS command as a blooding. Person 4 was a highly decorated soldier who was a witness who testified against BRS/Person 11. The court will decide the truth but it is an odd thing that 21 SAS soldiers v 1 and you have a lot of people siding with the 1 one "hero" rather than the 21 "heroes". Wonder why that is?

@kevinf567 Pretty sure Person 4 claims to have been the man to have shot Ali Jan under BRS’s orders. He’s the main witness against BRS so yeah, I wonder how that works in a criminal context

I spent three hours reading Ben Roberts-Smith court documents this morning and found something pretty incredible. TLDR: Previous court cases addressing Ben Roberts-Smith war crime allegations relied on the testimony of illiterate Afghan villagers who called him an infidel. Part of the war crimes claims made against Ben Roberts-Smith relied upon the testimony of Afghan villagers who openly told Australian courts that they viewed Roberts-Smith and Australian soldiers as infidels. Nine Media relied upon the testimony of three key Afghan witnesses in order to support the claim that Roberts-Smith executed a farmer named Ali Jan who he claimed was a Taliban spotter. These men were illiterate subsistence villagers who expressed hatred for ''infidels'' including Australian soldiers during the trial. Hanifa, pictured in court drawings wearing a green shawl, acknowledged directly that foreign soldiers were called ''infidels'' or ''kafir'' and that he did not like them. He also confirmed that persons killed by soldiers were called ''martyrs'' and that he hated Australian soldiers for going near ''our women.'' He said: "If they are coming to our houses, go inside to our women, of course that's what we call them infidels." Mangul, pictured in the court drawings wearing a blue shawl, expressed hatred of foreign soldiers and confirmed his view that they were infidels or kafir and that those they killed were martyrs. He said he did not like the Taliban but still referred to Australian soldiers as infidels. According to Daily Mail court reporting, when asked if he hated the soldiers who invaded his country and did not share his Islamic faith, Mangul said: ''Yes, it is like that.'' Hanifa also told the court that when the soldiers arrived by helicopter, he took a donkey from Ali Jan in an attempt to make them both appear to be nomads: ''I took one of the donkey from him thinking that we will look like nomads and the foreign forces will think that we are nomads.'' The actual mechanics of their testimony is incredible in and of itself. Hanifa told the Federal Court that a man named ''Dr Sharif'' paid for his accommodation, food and transport for up to a year in support of his ability to testify against Roberts-Smith. Dr Sharif worked for representatives of Nine newspapers as a fixer in Afghanistan. Each Afghan key witness said that a local representative for Nine Media paid their family's living expenses since moving to Kandahar, then Kabul, earlier in the year. According to Daily Mail court reporting, one key witness was accompanied by his wife and five children, another by his wife and six children and a third had 14 relatives with him. And the logistics regarding court translation were incredible. The only available court-certified Pashto interpreter lived in Ontario, Canada. When hearings commenced at 10:15am in Sydney, it was 8:15pm in Ontario and 4:45am in Kabul. The Afghan witnesses therefore gave evidence about murders in a Taliban stronghold through a three-way international audiovisual link at dawn, interpreted by someone in a different hemisphere. The court-certified Pashto interpreter conceded that he had difficulty translating from classical Pashto to the rural Pashto dialect the men spoke. All three ultimately testified that they did not see the alleged shooting execution of Ali Jan, but two said they directly observed Roberts-Smith kick him off the cliff. Roberts-Smith has always maintained that Ali Jan was a Taliban spotter in a village that was a Taliban stronghold. It is a matter of historical fact that there was confirmed armed Taliban presence in the village of Darwan the day of the raid and that Roberts-Smith killed a confirmed armed Taliban militant during the wider operation. Roberts-Smith was operating in the village of Darwan while searching for Hekmatullah - a Taliban sleeper agent in the Afghan National Army who massacred three Australian soldiers in cold blood as they prepared to sleep on their own base. This massacre of Australian soldiers was technically a Taliban war crime. By enlisting in the Afghan National Army and wearing its uniform, Hekmatullah had presented himself as a co-belligerent fighting alongside Australian forces - not against them. This made him guilty of the war crime of perfidy. Judge Besanko ultimately dismissed the infidel/kafir argument in a single paragraph for each witness, bracketed with the Dr Sharif financial support argument, writing: ''However, I do not consider (the infidel argument), or indeed the other general motive to lie advanced by the applicant of the sustenance (food and transportation) provided by the respondents through Dr Sharif, to be strong motives for Mohammed Hanifa to lie." In my opinion, this represents an instance of the Australian legal system failing to grapple with the cultural gulf between Australian morals and Pashtunwali morals - raised in a deeply conservative Pashtun culture in which foreign soldiers are categorically viewed as enemies of the faith, living day to day in a Taliban stronghold village, I believe the hatred that these men had towards Australian soldiers means that their testimony cannot be fully trusted. Roberts-Smith's barristers directly put it to Mangul that his religion permitted lying to infidels in some circumstances. Mangul rejected the suggestion — but the mere fact that Roberts-Smith's own counsel felt compelled to raise the question in open court speaks to the cultural gulf I am describing. It must be said that their testimony was not the only testimony against Roberts-Smith that day - their words were held up as corroborating the words of an Australian soldier, Person 4. Besanko J and the Full Court both wrote that even setting aside the Afghan witnesses' evidence, Person 4's account stood. That said, it feels deeply wrong to me that the Australian courts did ultimately choose to rely upon the evidence of men who openly admited they viewed Australian soldiers as infidels and subjects of contempt. It feels like a particularly troubling example of misplaced institutional deference - treating the admission of deep religious hostility as insufficient to question the reliability of evidence. These Afghan witnesses may now testify again in the criminal trial against Roberts-Smith where the standard of proof is ''beyond reasonable doubt'' rather than the civil ''balance of probabilities.'' The criminal standard of ''beyond reasonable doubt'' is substantially higher than the civil ''balance of probabilities'' standard at which the defamation findings were made. It is hard to see their evidence alone passing muster at a criminal standard.

@mpetrus19 @hubermanlab it's so sad to see what huberman became, couldn't give a crap about human health.

@hubermanlab Nothing beats a tight diet of real foods from both plant & animal sources along with plenty of sunshine, movement & fresh air No drug can compete with it Live clean & most health problems go away 63 and feeling better than ever

I predict peptides will change everything re public health discourse for health & disease. B/c they’re closer to medications (in many cases actual medications!) than supplements but they entered the picture in supplement-like fashion. HRT went the other direction. Get educated.

@DHTheWeatherNut @hubermanlab steroids - he just doesn't want to say it. HRT, he means TRT which means steroids - it's just branding to call them 'peptides'

@hubermanlab What’s HRT?

Did my research, polycythemia - increased risk of blood clots, acne, gynaecomastia, liver damage, psychological changes, tics, increased risk of heart attack and stroke. So sad that people would willingly put this in this crap in their bodies rather than just eat well, sleep and exercise a bunch.

@JustinWaltz @mhp_guy @AlexfromFranzy dudes a scammer

@mhp_guy Nice work @AlexfromFranzy 😊

Not everyone is ready for full-fledged entrepreneurship. There's real risk to working for yourself. Risk you might not be comfortable taking. But you also don't want a boss. You don't want to clock in and out every day. Maybe you're looking for something in between. A sweet spot. And that's where this video will blow your mind. It can be the best of both worlds. You still have accountability. You have someone holding your hand But you're a business owner. You own equity. And most importantly, you own your time. This one is a banger. I talked to Alex who is an expert with all things franchise. I told him, "Alex, bring me your three best franchises that are very approachable, affordable, but still can scale to millions of dollars a year in revenue or profit." And he did not disappoint. I was shocked by how much these random franchises make. Check this out.

chris please please please do not do this to your audience. franchises veer between outright fraud, serious exploiters and then a tiny tiny proportion of decent businesses. Please think long and hard and do your research before putting your considerable reputation behind franchising.

@mhp_guy Plan

Just when you thought claw machines couldn’t be more of a scam. Try operating it from your phone. But there's something here that I really like. I can't quite articulate what it is yet. It feels like the future. It's a claw machine, but not just any claw machine. These are connected to the internet and people can play them from anywhere in the world, from their phones. They're controlling a real physical machine in real time, trying to win real physical prizes. And if they win, the prize either gets mailed to them or converted into a digital form and emailed to them instantly. You will not believe how many plays this thing got in one night. People are obsessed with this because it takes the satisfaction of a claw machine, the nostalgia, the challenge, the thrill of winning something, and it makes it accessible from anywhere at any time. You don't have to be at an arcade. You don't have to be at a mall. You can be sitting on your couch at midnight and decide you want to try to win a toy or a gift card or whatever's loaded in the machine. And this is interesting because you only need to own one physical machine, but you can have thousands of people playing it all over the world. And if multiple people want to play at the same time, then you can charge extra. If you have a fixed supply and high demand, your price goes up. The prizes can be anything, toys, electronics, gift cards, merch, whatever. People can share with their friends. They play over and over. It becomes content. It becomes competition. People stream themselves trying to win. And my mind is exploding with possibilities because it's not just a vending machine business. It's an entertainment business, it's e-commerce, it's gamification, it's live streaming, all wrapped into one. And someone just figured out how to make it work with a claw machine. 10,000 plays. That's how many plays this guy got overnight on his virtual claw machine business. You could do this with anything.

@Fish_wid_a_V @theseoguy_ @StumpGuyTy @irentdumpsters @jarydesign @Nads_Shariff Dude, you can't seem to write anything coherent. The Feb email you wrote was not asking for proof of work, it was you asking for in your words "help"

@SpiceP0dcast @ShaanVP All in one go? Do a 1/10 Murph with a weight vest. Then a 2/10 with a weight vest. Then a 3/10 with the vest. Full murph.

@ShaanVP I have a hack for you Shaan. This one was passed to me by a CrossFit champion (seriously). Do a 1/10 Murph with a weight vest. Then a 2/10 with a weight vest. Then a 3/10 with the vest. Then a full one with nothing. You won’t believe your body. Try it.

Update: this is going to be hard My fitness challenge for the year is to do a "Murph" (1mi run, 100 pullups, 200 pushups, 300 squats, 1mi run) in under an hour Did a baseline test today (0.3x Murph)..tough stuff! getting to 100 pullups (w/ no band) will be the hardest part

@Limoncasillas @mhp_guy This kind of behavior 😂 the guy is letting his kids use their own alarm clocks, bizarre that he felt the need to post, even more bizarre you felt the need to say this is bad parenting.

Dude i like your content and respect what your doing with your kids and i wont judge your parenting with ONE post. But I've known many parents with this kind of behavior and they'll all turn out to be just lazy parents that just don't want to be around kids. Again, i wish you the best.

I dont buy this I wish him luck I wish all the parents luck. It's hard being a parent. But i don't buy this

@peer_rich I was also blocked for a benign comment disagreeing with something. He's entitled to block but don't criticise others for same and cry about free speech

im blocked cause i replied levels with solid VC funding facts that somehow hurt him when he was on the anti-VC funding agenda

@cryptofergani interested

@NahFlo2n Curiosity

$80k–$120k/month doctor-style ai pages grow by sparking curiosity, not flexing authority the hook isn’t titles or credentials it’s soft openers like “did you know” or “most people miss this” plus visual contrast the avatar feels calm and familiar the visuals stop the scroll the explanation keeps it educational, not salesy no real doctors no filming days ai handles faces, scripts, timing, and scale this works because people save and share first monetization comes later, almost quietly i mapped how these curiosity-first doctor pages are built and how they convert with simple affiliate paths rt + comment “curiosity” and i’ll send it (follow for dm)

@daffyduckinson doctor

$42k/month from a single AI doctor page that never filmed once no real doctor no studio no paid ads no face tied to a brand the page runs on one consistent format a calm medical-style avatar one everyday health question people are already confused about a short explanation that sounds like advice, not persuasion nothing is rushed nothing is hyped nothing is pushed the pacing stays slow so it feels credible the language stays neutral so defenses drop and the product only appears after trust is already built that’s why this page converts people don’t feel sold they feel informed and the affiliate offer feels like the obvious next step one page 2–3 posts per day same structure repeated for 90 days this isn’t viral chasing it’s trust compounding into predictable revenue rt + comment “doctor” and i’ll send the setup (follow for dm)

@_May_Ham Can we still buy, not on your newsletter list but would be interested?

I launched a course on Meta Ads that made $30,000 on a 5,000-reader newsletter. Here are the 5 lessons I learned: First, the numbers (7 days): • Price: $350 • Revenue: ~$30,000 • ARPU: ~$6 (strong) • Sales email open rate: 41.5% • Sales email CTR: 2.5% (low) • Sales page CVR: 14% (very high) • Avg. visits before purchase: 1.52 Now, onto the lessons: 1. Segment your list Folks like Sean Griffey, Tyler Denk, Matt Paulson and other senior operators read my newsletter. They don’t need my intermediate Meta ads course. So, I manually tagged priority readers and limited them to 4 emails over 7 days. It was mostly educational and very light selling. Every sales email also had a clear opt-out banner. If you care about the long-term value of your list, don’t spray sales emails at everyone. 2. Value emails got replies, not clicks Before the sales sequence, I sent three “pillar” emails: • Creative: why ~70% of our winning ads are ugly • Media buying: the most common scaling mistakes • Measurement: why CPL is a bad metric They were ~95% tactical. People replied. A lot. But CTR was bad (~1.5% or lower), which pulled down the overall sales CTR. Would I do it again for a launch? Honestly, I’m not sure. They may have helped later conversion, but I can’t measure that. 3. Focus 80% of your sales page effort on top-of-fold and social proof I spent ~$3K and ~3 weeks on the sales page. We had a 14% conversion rate, 2-3x what I typically see on products at this price. What mattered most: • Outcome-driven headline "Grow your newsletter with subscribers who buy from you and your sponsors" • Sub-headline that handled objections “Ads are hard” → it’s a copy/paste blueprint “I’m a beginner” → even if you’ve never run ads before • Very literal social proof (screenshots, Slack messages, real results) People needed to immediately see better CPL and better reader quality. Everything else was secondary. 4. Urgency drives the sale Over 30% of purchases came in the final 12 hours. I sent: • One email with ~13 hours left • One with ~3.5 hours left If there’s no constraint, people wait. 5. Structure the course like real work happens The modules followed the actual workflow: Getting Started → Conversion Events → Creative → Media Buying → Measurement → Roadblocks A few decisions that mattered: • A full beginner module, even though most buyers weren’t beginners • A dedicated roadblocks section (Meta vs ESP numbers, scaling decisions, errors) • Shortcuts: ~6 hours total, but ~2.5 hours of true “need-to-know” content That let beginners get started fast, and advanced operators skip ahead.
