In the spirit of Yom Kippur, thoughts about what I do here. Am I wasting time and effort?
First of all let's be clear: I appreciate every one of you who responds/interacts with my posts. But I'm not a social media person.
I only came here to try and make a difference after October7.
It's already a few months my reach has plummeted, and not going back up again.
I see that "things" I put up and get a few hundreds of views, when posted by others, get hundreds of thousands.
I feel there's a need for Zionist voices, also small ones like mine, but there's also need for other things like pro bono work for reserve soldiers families etc... and only 24 hours a day.
Should I stay and plod on? Is it useful at all?
Should I concentrate on doing things IRL?
I'd miss the people I've met here, so probably I'd come back like once a week or so, but the activism and the extensive research and writing would taper out.
I know it's a little twisted to ask this from people who WILL see this post, but what do you say?
Grok 4.7 just outperformed GPT-6 Astra on professional work
On the same Artificial Analysis run:
• GDPval-AA — Grok leads by +153 Elo
• AA-Briefcase — Grok leads by +88 Elo
Grok 4.7 is now ahead on both professional deliverables and multi-hour office work
SpaceXAI is pushing Grok hard into real-world knowledge work
This is the side of Elon Musk and his companies which you will rarely see in the news and documentaries.

• Tesla - February 19, 2026 - After Rishi Vohra passed out on a freeway, his Cybertruck slowed down, activated its hazards, pulled over.
• Starlink - July 18, 2026 - A surgeon in Salvador remotely removed a kidney tumor from a patient 2,320 km away in Campo Grande during the Americas’ first Starlink-enabled telesurgery.
• Neuralink - 2024–2026 - Alex designs 3D CAD parts and plays games; Brad types, edits videos and uses his cloned voice; Nick controls a robotic arm to feed himself; Mike continues working; RJ and Lee control phones, computers and TVs through thought.
And these are only a few examples. There are many, many more cases like these.
She stood alone on that platform, surrounded by Hamas supporters.
Instead of hiding, she raised the Israeli flag high.
This is what defiance looks like. 🇮🇱
Elon Musk: “My essential philosophy is curiosity. I’d like to understand the meaning of life — is the Standard Model of physics correct? The beginning of life, the beginning of existence, and the end of the universe. What questions do we not know to ask, that we should ask? AI will help us with these things.
I’m trying to understand how do we get here, what’s going on, what’s real. Are there aliens? Maybe there are. If we’ve got spaceships traveling to other star systems, we may encounter aliens, or find many long-dead alien civilizations.
I just want to know what’s going on. I’m curious about the universe — that’s my philosophy.”
🚨 ELON MUSK ON LEGACY MEDIA
“Unfortunately what I’ve learned is that legacy media propaganda is very effective at making people believe things that aren’t true.
For example how many legacy media publications and talk shows tried to claim I was a Nazi because of some random hand gesture at a rally where all I said was my heart goes out to you. I was talking about space travel.
Yet legacy media promoted that as though it was a deliberate Nazi gesture. In fact every politician or public speaker who has spoken for any length of time has made the exact same gesture. I’ve never harmed a single person.”
Wow!
More than 100,000 Jewish worshipers gathered at the Western Wall in Jerusalem for prayers ahead of Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.

בערב יום כיפור, בשורה נוראה.
נתנאל שוקרון, בן 30, אב לשישה, נשוי למירב ותושב עלי זהב, יצא הבוקר עם בנו הבכור לטבול במעיין לקראת יום כיפור ונרצח באכזריות בידי מחבל.
מספרים על נתנאל ז"ל שהיה איש של חסד ונתינה. ראו את זה במאות ימי המילואים שנתן למדינה בשנים האחרונות ובעשייה ההתנדבותית והקהיל��ית בה התמיד לצד עבודתו כאנליסט מערכות מידע.
איבדנו היום איש צנוע, מסור למשפחתו, אוהב אדם ואוהב את ארץ ישראל.
אני שולח את תנחומי למשפחתו על האובדן הבלתי נתפס.
יהי זכרו ברוך.

He was just 19 years old and he had been in the army less than a year when the grenade came across the floor of a Namer outside Kibbutz Nir Am.
Sergeant Matan Abergil of Golani’s 13th Battalion was skinny, he wore glasses, and nobody looking at him would have picked him as the man who was going to decide the rest of six other lives in a second.
Islamic jihadists sacrifice their lives to kill as many people as possible. Israelis sacrifice their lives to save as many people as possible.
This is superb.
The lesson begins with the usual catechism: J.K. Rowling has “bigoted opinions”.
Then someone makes the unforgivable mistake of reading what she actually wrote.
Suddenly, certainty requires definitions. Slogans require evidence. “Everyone knows” requires rather more than everyone saying it.
Critical thinking really is murder on a fashionable consensus.
I’m in tears. 🇬🇧 British patriots are marching with crosses, standing for their faith and their country.
The UK has fallen, but its people are determined to reclaim it.
Jesus Christ is KING! 🙏✝️ AMEN!
Elon Musk gave an update on the next major Starship milestones:
“We’ve got Flight 14 coming up. This will be the last flight before we attempt to catch the ship. If this flight goes well, then on Flight 15, we will try to catch the ship. Either at the end of this year or more likely early next, we will refly the ship and refly the booster.”
“Once we can refly the ship, we will have made the first fully reusable orbital rocket. It’s designed for not just full reusability, but also rapid reusability like an aircraft. This is a very important breakthrough. It’s really the critical breakthrough that’s necessary to extend life beyond Earth.”
“I’d say the chances of catching it are at least 50 or 60%. If there’d been a tower at that location, it would have caught the ship on the last flight. The design is capable of full reusability. Of that I am certain. I think it’s extremely likely that we will achieve full reusability with rapid reflight next year in 2027.”
The Importance of Empathy
Let's bring kindness back! Christianity's golden
rule - love thy neighbor - reminds us to practice empathy, treat others how we want to be treated, and build a more compassionate society.+++

WHY STARSHIP
REUSABILITY IS THE BREAKTHROUGH.
CATCH → RE-FLY → MULTIPLANETARY.
Most people still think rockets are fireworks.
That's only half the story.
Elon:
"We've got Flight 14 coming up of Starship, and this will be the last flight before we attempt to catch the ship."
"Once we can re-fly the ship, we will have made the first fully reusable orbital rocket."
That's why Starship matters.
• Catch the ship — Flight 15 try
• Re-fly ship + booster — the unlock
• First fully reusable — orbital rocket
• Multiplanetary — requires this breakthrough
