Before 1850: all milk was raw, drunk by the gallon, and considered medicine. Before 1900: everyone ate eggs, beef, and butter without a single thought about cholesterol. Before 1910: every household used salt to preserve meat and fish through the winter. Before 1920: everything was cooked in tallow, lard, dripping, and butter. Before 1950: there was no obesity epidemic, no diabetes epidemic, no childhood ADHD diagnosis on every street. Now consider the timeline. The seed oils arrived. The margarine arrived. The breakfast cereal arrived. The low-fat yoghurts arrived. The packaged convenience food arrived. The supermarket aisles filled up with products that had no equivalent on a 1900 dinner table. And the experts are still trying to convince you that chronic disease is caused by the foods that fed humanity for the entire stretch of recorded history. Not the new arrivals. The old reliables. Have a think about who benefits from that conclusion.

Berkshire Hathaway is "underperforming" S&P 500 by 40% since Warren Buffett announced his retirement. Here's how he approached investing: "You shouldn't buy stocks unless you expect to hold them for a very extended period and you are prepared financially and psychologically to hold them the same way you would hold a farm." The farm analogy is the whole point. When you buy a farm, you never pull up a quote. You never watch the daily price. You just own it, let it produce, and don't think about selling. That is how Buffett thinks stocks should be held. He also made clear: nobody is going to pick the bottom for you. What you need to be ready for instead is this: buy a stock and watch it fall 50% or more. And be completely comfortable with that. If you can hold through that without panicking, you are ready to own stocks. If you cannot, the market will eventually find that out.

Farm machinery reduced the time it would take an American farmer in the US to produce a kilo of wheat from 10 minutes to under 3 seconds today! We eat and drink Fossil Fuels and without them, we do not have a modern civilization. It is time to unlock Africa's economic potential!

Between 2000 and 2019, electricity demand in Britain fell by 22%. Only places where it fell by more: 🇾🇪 Yemen 🇿🇼 Zimbabwe 🇯🇲 Jamaica 🇹🇯 Tajikistan 🇸🇾 Syria

First EVs now heat pumps are coming for you fossil fuels. Going to cause a meltdown on X. I give all the energy cranks about 5 years more on here before they throw the towel in and find their next crusade to lose.

Elon Musk: “I think probably the biggest danger of AI or maybe the biggest danger of AI and robotics going wrong is government People who are opposed to corporations or worried about corporations should really worry the most about government. Government is just a corporation in the limit; it is the biggest corporation with a monopoly on violence The government could potentially use AI and robotics to suppress the population. That’s a serious concern”
