Dear enemies, detractors, libellers, university rats, genocide propagandists, ethnic cleansing & baby murder promoters, & label conscious Davos midwits, it also happens that #Antifragility is the most influential 21st C. concept.
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]
The Daily Express is somehow now more opposed to Israeli war crimes than the government.

This is the world we live in today! Lord have mercy
Gaza is being deliberately starved to death in front of the whole world, and the only people being arrested over it are those who opposed the crime.
CARDIO DU JOUR: This is big. Close to HALF of veteran competitive endurance athletes (>50) have cardiac fibrosis, 5x higher risk of (non-benign) ventricular arrythmia, (that is, 20% of these). Ditch your Strava, enjoy zone 1-2, avoid too many races, walk at flaneur pace.…
It is easier for the nonsophisticated to fake sophistication than it is for the sophisticated to fake simplicity.
Combination of propaganda and hallucinations.
The numbers don’t lie. No Middle East country is more hospitable to its Christian population than Israel. By far!
CEOs are not owners, just overpaid glorified slaves.
This is actually interesting - at least 206,000 people have no idea what a board of directors is.

An Israeli terrorist shoots a Palestinian in the head with lethal force from point blank range while his hands are up & while he is walking away from them. I have no words left.
