Dear enemies,The Black Swan is now the most influential (that is, discussed/mentioned) 21st C book. While almost all books have a half-life between 2 and 6 months, it does not appear to have a half-life. #Lindy [Same with other 4 books in the Incerto. Graph is US only]

From 1967 to the present, Israel has sought to "de-develop" Palestine. That is, to make Palestinians dependent on Israel for work, wages and income, to prevent Palestinians from developing an economic base. For decades, Israel banned Palestinian businesses that sought to

Attacking pre-school teachers because they don’t think Palestinian kids should be bombed to death? Declaring NYC’s first Muslim mayor “our enemy?” Fomenting hatred, even within the Jewish community? You’re not making anyone safer.🧵

Waymo respects cyclists & pedestrians, doesn't tweet & drive (or worse engage in Twitter fights while driving), rarely has road rage & pulls a gun, doesn't blow its horn one nanosecond after the light turns green, doesn't drink, doesn't play loud music with the window open...

People don't realize the financial mistake (started with Biden): if you are under sanctions then your accounts in the USD & satellites system can be frozen (incl. Sw.). The fear of such arbitrary sanctions is what is driving GOLD to become the world currency for safe storage.
