Egypt forgot how to build the pyramids.
Rome forgot how to build the aqueducts. Some still carry water today. What they built still stands. Neither civilization remembers how they did it.
Musk: “You look at great civilizations like ancient Egypt, and they were able to make the pyramids, and they forgot how to do that.”
Musk: “And the Romans, they built these incredible aqueducts. They forgot how to do it.”
No army invaded them. The knowledge just stopped getting used, and the moment it did, it was gone.
Same collapse. Compressed into fifty years instead of a thousand.
Musk: “In 1969, we were able to send somebody to the moon… Then the space shuttle retired, and the United States could take no one to orbit.”
Musk: “People are mistaken when they think that technology just automatically improves… it will, by itself, degrade.”
Capability doesn’t sit in a vault. It only exists inside the people doing the work right now.
The second they stop, it doesn’t pause.
It disappears.
That should not scare you. It should focus you.
Nobody loses a civilization to war. They lose it the moment they stop building.
Nobody is owed the future. It belongs to whoever keeps building it.
🚨 Carlo Ancelotti on why he did not celebrate wildly after Gabriel Martinelli’s late winner for Brazil against Japan:
🗣️ “People asked me why I didn’t celebrate, but football is also about respect. Yes, we were happy to win, but I looked across and saw a Japanese team that had given absolutely everything. They fought with incredible courage, and I know exactly how painful a defeat like that can be.”
“Of course I celebrated inside because my responsibility is to Brazil and qualifying was our objective. But I’ve been in football for many years, and I’ve experienced both victory and heartbreak. Sometimes the best way to respect your opponent is to remain humble in your biggest moments.”
“Japan made us suffer for ninety-five minutes. They deserved our respect, not exaggerated celebrations. Brazil are through, but we know we must improve. Tonight we celebrate the qualification, but tomorrow we go back to work because the World Cup only gets more difficult from here.”
Carlo Ancelotti is a legend

MILTON FRIEDMAN:
"CONSUMERS DON’T PRODUCE INFLATION."
"PRODUCERS DON’T PRODUCE INFLATION.
"INFLATION IS PRODUCED ONLY BY TOO MUCH GOVERNMENT SPENDING AND TOO MUCH GOVERNMENT CREATION OF MONEY, AND NOTHING ELSE."
It happens that any time our judicial system suffers the discomfort of injustice, I used to remember the immortal words of Niki Tobi in the landmark case of Buhari v Yaradua.
While giving his judgment in that case 19 years ago, Niki Tobi had foreseen the calamity that may befall the Judiciary if allowed to be infiltrated by politicians.
So he dedicated a very long paragraph advising judges.
He made this long dictum saying:
“I see from Exhibit EP2/34 the need for Nigerian Judges to maintain a very big distance from politics and politicians.
Our Constitution forbids any mingling. As Judges, we must obey the Constitution.
The two professions do not meet and will never meet at all in our democracy in the discharge of their functions.
While politics as a profession is fully and totally based on partiality, most of the time, judgeship as a profession is fully and totally based on impartiality, the opposite of partiality.
Bias is the trade mark of politicians. Non-bias is the trade mark of the Judge.
That again creates a scenario of superlatives in the realm of opposites.
Therefore the expressions, "politician" and "Judge" are opposites, so to say, in their functional contents as above; though not in their ordinary dictionary meaning.
Their waters never meet in the same way Rivers Niger and Benue meet at the confluence near Lokoja. If they meet, the victim will be democracy most of the time and that will be bad for sovereign Nigeria.
And so Judges should, on no account, dance to the music played by politicians because that will completely destroy their role as independent umpires in the judicial process.
Let no Judge flirt with politicians in the performance of their constitutional adjudicatory functions.
When I say this, I must also say that I have nothing against politicians. They are our brothers and sisters in our homes.
One can hardly find in any Nigerian community or family without them. There cannot be democracy without them and we need democracy; not despotism, oligarchy and totalitarianism. They are jolly good fellows.
The only point I am making is that their professional tools are different from ours and the Nigerian Judge should know this before he finds himself or falls into a mirage where he cannot retrace his steps to administer justice. That type of misfortune can fall on him if the National Judicial Council gets annoyed of his conduct.
Ours are not theirs. Theirs are not ours. I will not say more. I will not say less too. So be it.”
Niki Tobi, JSC.
It happens that the advice given by Niki Tobi 19 years ago fell on deaf ears.
