How Indian spy movies are made:
Opens with villain destroying some Indian asset somewhere and challenging the Indian govt that he is coming for them.
Next scene, IB, RAW, ministers having a round table meeting about the villain while his 4K images play on the monitor. Intel chief tells the Defence Minister that the villain is ex-RAW or ex-Special Forces but turned against India because either he was abandoned on some mission, or didn’t get uchit samman, or was reprimanded for going against the rules.
Minister says, ab kya? Isko kaise rokenge? Everyone says, call the Army. Intel chief says, nahi, ye kaam sirf ek aadmi kar sakta hai. Hero. Then monologue in praise of the hero, background me hero ki slo-mo entry.
Hero ki help ke liye jayegi Special Agent Natasha. Kyu? Abhi to aapne kaha tha ye kaam woh akela kar sakta hai. Haan, lekin Natasha ka figure achha hai. Action scenes ke beech me gaane waane honge, usme bikini pehan kar ghoomegi. Isliye she is needed.
Then comes the mission. Cat and mouse game. Action scenes, beech me nanga naach, slow-motion explosions, unnecessary bike chases, and villain saying "You don’t know who I am!" every 20 minutes.
Then villain kills intel chief or someone big, preferably the one who believed in the hero. Hero gets serious. Sad montage. Flashbacks. Background score intensifies.
Again cat and mouse. Hero gets shot but still fights 20 men while bleeding. Hero wins. Villain dies, or escapes with a scar for sequel, or has change of heart and sacrifices himself "for the nation."
Heroine crying. Hero walking into the sunset. Everyone salutes. Background me PM ka voiceover: "Aaj desh ek aur baar bach gaya." Tricolour waving in 4K drone shot. Jai Hind. Fade out.
The Red Crescent has published a recording of one of the latest phone calls with the 6-year-old Hind Rajab.
For over three hours, Hind pleaded with our teams for rescue. In an attempt to calm her fear, Red Cross workers read Qur'an to her and kept comforting her.
Israel killed Hind and those, who went to rescue her.
Since Saturday…
We’ve discovered Hind Rajat was murdered by Israel, alone, amidst the bodies of her family, after crying for help as she was terrified.
We’ve witnessed Sidra Hassouna’s broken and dismembered corpse hung from a wall after another IOF attack.
We’ve watched yet another young Palestinian girl taking her last breaths, lying on a hospital floor, as an Israeli missile blew her stomach out.
We’ve seen medics desperately attempting to resuscitate a baby whose home had been destroyed by the IOF.
We’ve seen another infant whose legs had been blown off, lying in hospital without anaesthetic.
That’s five images that should never exist—five scenarios that can never be justified—in five days.
Yet these precious souls are merely five out of tens of thousands of dead or injured children—children the west sees as expendable to protect a fascist regime built on bloodshed.
There is no returning from this for the western order. The systems in place that facilitated this—and many genocides before it—must be entirely dismantled if the world is to know peace.
Yemen hasn’t killed anyone they are simply making it hard for Israel to get war supplies
With out supplies its difficult to continue their genocide
Yemen is being attacked for trying to stop a genocide
It’s now almost certain the tunnels found at the Chabad synagogue in Brooklyn were designed for child sex tracking.
This footage released shows the Jewish synagogue had dystopian tunnels made with stained mattresses that have been sent for forensic analysis.
Items such as baby high chairs and clothing have also been taken by forensics.
A group of extremist students were blamed for the child abduction tunnels and attempted to bury the tunnels with cement before forensics could begin their investigations.
Advocates for child sex abuse say Israel has become a “refuge for pedophiles” and many Jewish-Americans hide from justice in Israel…🇮🇱
Haunted by the baby YouTuber who wanted a 100k subs. By the 10 year old who said she can't fight she is only 10. By that child shaking in a hospital breaking down when the doctor embraced him. By the kid who wanted to be an engineer to rebuild his city so tourists will visit.

12 thoughts on the future of marketing:
1. Digitally native generations are set to inherit trillions from their digitally inept parents. It's still very early.
2. There's 2 kinds of people in 2023:
• People who don't understand the scale of the internet.
• People who know they don't understand the scale of the internet.
3. The best marketing of the decade will not look like marketing. The best salesperson of the decade will not look like a salesperson.
4. The best marketing textbook: Your bank balance.
Study every purchase you make and reverse engineer your psychology.
Revealed preferences > Stated preferences
5. "It's the first time in the history of Western social media that one form of content can go viral across every single platform" - @MrBeast
We are living through the great social media merge.
Short-form vertical content was an obscure idea after Vine died.
In 2023, it's getting hundreds of billions of views per day across TikTok, Reels, Shorts, Reddit and X.
This means creators and companies will go from obscurity to the most Googled thing on the planet quicker than ever before.
6. Data is like protein
It’s valuable - but it shouldn’t be your *only* input.
If all your decisions are guided by clickbait A/B tests, you’ll eventually end up with a porn site.
7. Word-of-mouth marketing is now being unbundled into Word-of-Slack, Word-of-WhatsApp and Word-of-Discord. Always ask: "How will people post about this in their group chat or DM's?"
8. If you want to create great adverts or content, ask yourself:
"What is the red pill that everyone is thinking about but few people are talking about?"
9. How to stay on the cutting edge: Find blogs, Twitter accounts, Podcasts, YouTube channels, and discord servers that evolve daily.
10. People don't have ideas. Ideas have people. If something is popular, it makes it more popular. If something is unpopular, it makes it more unpopular. The internet has 1000x'd this flywheel.
11. The best marketing and advertising is now open source -- but most still haven't figured this out.
You can visit ad libraries and study copy on websites.
Companies pour millions into A/B tests and you can watch the results for free.
Hint: If an ad campaign has been running for a long time, it's probably working.
12. One thing that will still be true 100 years from now:
Marketing and advertising are just multipliers of product.
If you multiply 0 by 1 trillion, you are still left with 0.
