Trees release invisible chemicals into the air to protect themselves from bugs and disease. Turns out those same chemicals also switch on your body's cancer-fighting cells. They're called natural killer cells. They're a type of white blood cell that patrols your bloodstream looking for cancer cells and virus-infected cells. When they find one, they punch a hole through its outer wall and inject proteins that force the cell to self-destruct from the inside. You're born with them. Unlike most of your immune system, they don't need to be "trained" on a specific threat first. They just attack anything that looks wrong. The 50% number in this tweet comes from Dr. Qing Li at Nippon Medical School in Tokyo, who has been studying the effects of forests on the human body since 2004. His original 2007 study took 12 men on a 3-day, 2-night forest trip, walking two hours a day. Blood tests showed 11 of 12 had roughly 50% more cancer-killing cell activity afterward. A follow-up with 13 female nurses found the same thing. But the part the tweet leaves out: the boost didn't vanish when they went home. It lasted over 7 days in both groups, and in men, it was still detectable in blood work 30 days later. Li's conclusion is that one forest trip per month could keep these cells running at a higher level year-round. The obvious next question is whether it's the forest itself or just the vacation. Li tested this directly. A separate group took a city tourist trip with the same amount of walking. No boost to killer cells. No stress hormone drop. Zero effect. Then he ran an even more controlled test: 12 men stayed in a regular Tokyo hotel room for three nights while a humidifier pumped tree oil (from Japanese cypress) into the air overnight. Their killer cells still went up. Their stress hormones still dropped. That isolates the cause to those tree chemicals, called phytoncides. Pine, cedar, and cypress trees release the most. These chemicals were found in forest air but were nearly absent in city air. A 2021 lab study showed that one of these tree chemicals directly switches on killer cells and slows colon tumor growth in mice. The bigger picture connects these cells directly to cancer risk. An 11-year study published in The Lancet (one of the world's top medical journals) tracked 3,625 Japanese people and found that those with weaker natural killer cells developed cancer at significantly higher rates. A separate study screening for bowel cancer found that people with low killer cell levels were 7 times more likely to be diagnosed. Li's own research across all 47 regions of Japan showed that areas with less forest had higher cancer death rates for lung, breast, uterine, prostate, kidney, and colon cancers, even after accounting for differences in smoking rates and wealth. The caveats: Li's original studies used small groups (12 and 13 people), and the regional data show a pattern but don't directly prove that forests prevent cancer. No large-scale clinical trial has confirmed that yet. But the chain is consistent: trees release chemicals, those chemicals wake up the cells in your blood that kill cancer, the effect lasts weeks, not hours, and people with more active killer cells get cancer less often. Japan now has 65 government-certified Forest Therapy sites across the country, each tested and approved based on the physical effects they have on visitors.

The Soviet Union made a film in 1983 about Zionism, the Rothschilds and the Israeli lobby in the US. It was buried for decades. I just added English subtitles and corrected the dubbed version. Watch what they didn't want you to see. Links below.

Timely reminder of when this guy reviewed that guy... Iggy Pop on Gibbon's Decline and Fall (Classics Ireland, 1995): Caesar Lives by Iggy Pop In 1982, horrified by the meanness, tedium and depravity of my existence as I toured the American South playing rock and roll music and going crazy in public, I purchased an abridged copy of The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (Dero Saunders, Penguin). The grandeur of the subject appealed to me, as did the cameo illustration of Edward Gibbon, the author, on the front cover. He looked like a heavy dude. Being in a political business, I had long made a habit of reading biographies of wilful characters — Hitler, Churchill, MacArthur, Brando — with large profiles, and I also enjoyed books on war and political intrigue, as I could relate the action to my own situation in the music business, which is not about music at all, but is a kind of religion-rental. I would read with pleasure around 4 am, with my drugs and whisky in cheap motels, savouring the clash of beliefs, personalities and values, played out on antiquity’s stage by crowds of the vulgar, led by huge archetypal characters. And that was the end of that. Or so I thought. Eleven years later I stood in a dilapidated but elegant room in a rotting mansion in New Orleans, and listened as a piece of music strange to my ears pulled me back to ancient Rome and called forth those ghosts to merge in hilarious, bilious pretence with the Schwartzkopfs, Schwartzeneggers and Sheratons of modern American money and muscle myth. Out of me poured information I had no idea I ever knew, let alone retained, in an extemporaneous soliloquy I called ‘Caesar’. When I listened back, it made me laugh my ass off because it was so true. America is Rome. Of course, why shouldn’t it be? All of Western life and institutions today are traceable to the Romans and their world. We are all Roman children for better or worse. The best part of this experience came after the fact — my wife gave me a beautiful edition in three volumes of the magnificent original unabridged Decline and Fall, and since then the pleasure and profit have been all mine as I enjoy the wonderful language, organization and scope of this masterwork. Here are just some of the ways I benefit: I feel a great comfort and relief knowing that there were others who lived and died and thought and fought so long ago; I feel less tyrannized by the present day. I learn much about the way our society really works, because the system-origins — military, religious, political, colonial, agricultural, financial — are all there to be scrutinized in their infancy. I have gained perspective. The language in which the book is written is rich and complete, as the language of today is not. I find out how little I know. I am inspired by the will and erudition which enabled Gibbon to complete a work of twenty-odd years. The guy stuck with things. I urge anyone who wants life on earth to really come alive for them to enjoy the beautiful ancestral ancient world.

Paramount has now spent $300 million making three Sonic movies. They returned $1.2 billion at the box office. That's a 4:1 return on production costs. The average Marvel movie now costs $200-250 million per film before marketing and needs roughly $500 million in global revenue to break even. Paramount built an entire billion-dollar franchise for the production budget of one Avengers. The growth curve is the part worth studying. Sonic 1: $319 million on a $90 million budget. Sonic 2: $405 million on $90 million. Sonic 3: $492 million on $122 million. Each sequel grew 20-25% while production costs barely moved. Deadline calculated Sonic 3's net profit alone at $123.6 million. This franchise almost never existed. In 2018, Paramount released the original Sonic design and the internet response was so brutal they pulled the trailer, delayed the film, and spent millions redesigning the character from scratch. Every studio executive in Hollywood called it a waste of money. Delaying a tentpole to redo VFX because Reddit is upset? Career-ending judgment in most boardrooms. That redesign is the single decision that separates a $1.2 billion franchise from a one-and-done $60 million domestic flop. One executive approved the delay. Every dollar since traces back to that call. Now look at who they cast for Sonic 4: Carrey, Reeves, Elba, Kristen Bell, Ben Kingsley, Matt Berry, Nick Offerman, Richard Ayoade. Eight names that cost real money, attached to a franchise Paramount knows will return multiples. The question was never whether Sonic could compete with Mario's $1.36 billion single-film record. The question is what happens when a studio figures out the one thing most refuse to do: listen, rebuild, and compound.

In 1978, researchers asked lottery winners and paralyzed accident victims to rate their happiness. The lottery winners scored 4.0 out of 5. Controls who won nothing: 3.82. Statistically identical. The paraplegics rated their expected future happiness at 4.32. Higher than the winners. The mechanism behind this is called hedonic adaptation. Your dopamine system doesn't measure rewards in absolutes. It measures the gap between what you expected and what you got. A pool you already own generates zero signal. The same pool imagined by someone who doesn't have one fires a massive spike. This is why every contradiction in the quote maps to the same circuit. The person with the partner stops noticing them. The person without one runs prediction error every time they imagine having one. Same neurology, opposite experience. The winners also reported less pleasure from everyday activities like eating breakfast or talking with a friend than the control group did. Winning the lottery made ordinary life feel worse. The quote frames this as a gratitude problem. The dissatisfaction is the operating system working correctly. Ancestors who felt "enough" got outcompeted by ones who didn't. Gratitude practices do show up in fMRI as a manual override of this circuit. You're forcing your brain to re-encode something it already filed as baseline. You're fighting 300 million years of motivational architecture with a journaling habit.

Speaking about the deep contradictions in human nature, Japanese actor Hiroyuki Sanada said: “Some people dream of having a swimming pool at home, while those who have one barely use it. Those who have lost a loved one feel a profound sense of loss, while others often complain about the relatives still in their lives. Those without a partner long for one, while those who have a partner often fail to appreciate them. The hungry would give anything for a meal, while the full complain about the taste of their food. Those without a car dream of owning one, while those who have a car are always looking for a better one. The key to happiness is gratitude—to truly see and value what we already have, and to understand that somewhere, someone would give everything for what we take for granted.”

「初心者は売りやすい低単価から始めるべき」 これは本当でしょうか？ 副業を始める会社員の方からよく聞く言葉です。 確かに「ハードルが低そう」「失敗してもダメージ小さい」って思いますよね。 でも、ちょっと待ってください。 副業で本当に大事なのは「単価を上げること」なんです。 たとえば… 💸 1件100円の商品を月500件売る → 500人相手に毎月アプローチが必要 🌀 1件1,000円の商品を月50件売る → まだまだ労力がかかる 💖 1件5,000円以上の高単価商品を月10件紹介 → 同じ収入で労力が1/50に！ 同じ金額を稼ぐのに、必要な「時間」と「労力」が違います。 低単価は「量をこなす」勝負になりがちで、本業が忙しい方だと継続は難しいです。 一方、高単価商品は1件の価値が大きいので、少ない成約で大きな結果が出やすいんです。 もちろん「高単価って難しそう…」と感じる気持ち、めちゃくちゃわかります。 でも、副業のゴールは「頑張る時間」を増やすことじゃなくて、 「効率よく成果を出す仕組み」を作ること。 単価を上げれば、スキマ時間だけで十分回せるようになるんですよ。 私自身も最初は低単価で苦戦していましたが、 単価の設計を変えた途端に景色が変わりました。 本業の激務でも続けられて、心に余裕が生まれたんです。 副業は「量」より「質」。 単価を意識するだけで、3か月後の自分が全く違ってきますよ😊 あなたの本業を超える未来、意外とすぐそこにありますよ✨

So wie der Islam nicht zu Deutschland gehört, gehört auch der Ramadan oder das Kopftuch nicht zu Deutschland. Selbstverständlich kann Ramadan abgehalten oder das Kopftuch privat getragen werden. Doch gehört das nicht in den Deutschen Bundestag, nicht in öffentliche Einrichtungen, nicht in Kitas oder Schulen. Eine gesunde Mischkost hingegen, die auch Schweinefleisch enthält, gehört als Angebot in jedes Kita-oder Schulessen und in jede Kantine. Kinder können essen und trinken, wann sie wollen und Weihnachtsfeste, Ostern, Christi Himmelfahrt und Pfingsten gehörten zu unserer jüdisch-christlich geprägten Kultur. Doch mit jeder Ramadan-Beleuchtung in deutschen Städten, mit Weihnachtsfesten, die zu „Jahresendfesten“ umgestaltet werden, mit unbedingt schweinefleischloser Kost und dem Kopftuch in öffentlichen Einrichtungen oder mit Geschlechtertrennung bei Veranstaltungen geben wir unsere jüdisch-christliche, westlich geprägte Kultur schrittweise auf und nennen das Vielfalt und Toleranz. Dabei ist das doch nur Unterwerfung. Und der politische Islam wird in seinem Machtanspruch mit jeden noch so vermeintlich unbedeutenden und toleranten Zugeständnis immer stärker und fordernder.

Der japanische Schauspieler Hiroyuki Sanada äußerte sich zu den tiefen Widersprüchen der menschlichen Natur wie folgt: Manche träumen von einem Swimmingpool im Garten, während diejenigen, die einen haben, ihn kaum nutzen. Wer einen geliebten Menschen verloren hat, empfindet tiefen Schmerz, während andere sich oft über ihre verbliebenen Verwandten beklagen. Singles sehnen sich nach einem Partner, während viele ihren Partner oft nicht zu schätzen wissen. Hungrige würden alles für eine Mahlzeit geben, während Satte sich über den Geschmack ihres Essens beschweren. Wer kein Auto besitzt, träumt davon, eines zu besitzen, während Autobesitzer immer nach einem besseren suchen. Der Schlüssel zum Glück ist Dankbarkeit – das, was wir bereits haben, wirklich zu erkennen und wertzuschätzen und zu verstehen, dass irgendwo jemand alles für das geben würde, was wir für selbstverständlich halten.“
