Came across this a while back and it absolutely blew my mind. Transplant recipients often develop traits of the donor, and many times can have their memories as well. Wild.

Someone said this before, but the world really is owned by about 500 people and the rest of us are just their servants.
DO YOU KNOW that bringing a Yacht to MONACO is one thing but securing a trackside parking is ANOTHER. Here's the FACT behind this: ​To get a Zone 1 Trackside "Pole Position" berth (the absolute front row right up against the tarmac at the Tabac corner or the Chicane), the parking ticket alone is staggering. ​The Marina Fee: For a 60-meter (196-foot) superyacht, the port authority charges upwards of €210,000 ($228,000) just for the week's mooring rights. This does not include water, electricity, or fuel. ​The Charter Cost: If you don't own the boat and want to charter a 50 to 70-meter vessel for race week, the baseline rate ranges from €300,000 to €600,000. High-end mega-yachts routinely clear €1,000,000 for those seven days. ​The real kicker? The harbor layout creates a literal class system among multi-millionaires. ​If you "only" spend €30,000 on a peripheral berth, you are placed in the back rows. You can hear the V6 hybrid engines screaming, but your view is completely blocked by a towering wall of larger, more expensive boats. ​To actually watch the rubber hit the asphalt from your own deck, you have to drop a cool million. It is a level of hyper-exclusive capitalism where people spend the price of a suburban American home just to park a boat for 168 hours.

I’ve always wondered what what happen if all the apex predators in nature turned on us. Orcas, sharks and whales came after us in the ocean. Hippos, lions, elephants, tigers, bears on land. Hawks, eagles, falcons in the air. Do you think they would win?

It’s interesting that many famous generals, despite putting themselves in harms way during battle, weren’t injured. It was like this for Grant as well. He was preternaturally calm and would constantly patrol his troops while being targeted. Napoleon too.
July 9th, 1755. The British Army got slaughtered in the woods of Pennsylvania. Of 1,300 men, nearly 1,000 were killed or wounded in four hours. Every mounted officer was shot. Except one. A 23-year-old colonel named George Washington had two horses shot out from under him. Four musket balls passed through his coat. He rallied the survivors. Organized the retreat. Buried the dying general. And walked off the field without a scratch. 15 years later, an old Indian chief found him in the Ohio Valley. Said he had personally fired 11 shots at Washington that day. Missed every one. "He cannot die in battle," the chief said. "He will become the chief of nations." Twenty-one years after that prophecy, Washington was sworn in as the first President of the United States.

You can always change your direction, but you can never get back time.
don’t forget that a compass was invented before the clock because direction is more important than time.

One more horrific aspect of ww1 was that you still had ‘old school’ type military tactics but with the dawn of more advanced weapons and technology, meaning machine gun fire at scale. The generals didn’t know how to counter this at the time so their only response was to keep sending more men into combat only to get slaughtered en masse.

We are speed running the Fall of Rome all over again. Excellent work by Jeremy here.
🧵 By the 5th century, Romans didn't trust the army, the courts, or the emperor. So they stopped participating. Stopped paying taxes. Stopped calling themselves Roman. When people stop believing in the system, it's already dead. Signal 7: Collapse of Trust.

“Here we have the F-18’s mating in the wild, the first time this has been witnessed. Look how they choreograph their movements, signaling a mutual desire to procreate. Nature in its most intimate, raw form, a truly beautiful process taking place.”

Multi-billion dollar idea - a car dealership/automotive repair shop that actually gives a shit about its customers and doesn’t try to bleed you dry on every single transaction.

Man, sitting in the lobby of the DMV and I am blackpilled beyond belief at the state of humanity. Overweight, sloppy, no life behind their eyes. Depressing.
