We see the tower of Jesus Christ illuminated for the first time!
The light show, starting from the base up to the illumination of the cross, culminated with a composition of lights guided by drones that traced the figure of Gaudí and the phrase “first love, then technique”.
One Finnish soldier ate 30 men’s worth of methamphetamine… and then skied 250 miles (400 km) through hell.
Chris Williamson told the absolutely insane true story of Aimo Koivunen on Joe Rogan. During WWII, while fleeing Soviet troops, Aimo downed the entire patrol’s supply of Pervitin (military-grade meth).
What followed was a 14-day fever dream: hallucinating enemies (it was trees), burning down the only shelter he found, fighting a “wolverine” (a log), stepping on two landmines, and surviving on melted snow and one raw bird.
He was eventually rescued weighing just 98 lbs (44 kg) with a resting heart rate of 200 bpm.He lived until his 70s.
It’s one of the most incredible survival stories ever told. The human body (and mind) under extreme conditions is wild.
What’s the craziest true survival or “how did he live?” story you’ve ever heard?
Joseph Campbell spent five years in a rented shack with no job, reading nine hours a day. no income, no plan, no publication deal. his sister brought him groceries. he later called it "the most fertile period of my life." the hero's journey was written by a man who spent five years doing nothing the world would call productive. I find this fact more useful than most business books combined.
"I am losing precious days. I am degenerating into a machine for making money. I am learning nothing in this trivial world of men. I must break away and get out into the mountains to learn the news."
— John Muir
Intelligent people struggle with addiction. Their minds need more. They have obsessions nobody around them shares. Philosophy. Astronomy. Dostoevsky. Jazz. Quantum physics. Things they know deeply. Things they've gone so deep into that anything else feel like small talk. And small talk feels like suffocation. So... they drink. Work until 2 am. Doomscroll until they're numb. Because there is a gap. A gap between who you are and the conversations available to you. And it's one of the loneliest places a person can live.
🚨LE TEMPS S’ACCÉLÈRE VRAIMENT 😱
💥En 1968, une horloge soviétique montre les secondes qui passent normalement.
En 2025, la même horloge tourne presque DEUX FOIS plus vite.
Ce n’est pas qu’une impression.
Les moines du Mont Athos — qui utilisent depuis des siècles les mêmes bougies fabriquées à la main pour 24 heures — constatent aujourd’hui que ces bougies brûlent bien plus longtemps que 24 heures.
Leurs prières quotidiennes, qui duraient toujours le même temps, prennent maintenant nettement plus longtemps.
Ils l’affirment clairement :
1968 = 24 heures
2026 = ±18–19 heures
Quelque chose de fondamental est en train de changer dans le flux même du temps.
Avez-vous aussi l’impression que les jours passent de plus en plus vite ? 👇
Hallucinations are bad enough. But after awhile you learn to cope with things like seeing your dead grandmother crawling up your leg with a knife in her teeth. Most acid fanciers can handle this sort of thing. But nobody can handle that other trip-the possibility that any freak with $1.98 can walk into the Circus-Circus and suddenly appear in the sky over downtown Las Vegas twelve times the size of God, howling anything that comes into his head. No, this is not a good town for psychedelic drugs.
Insane! This released photo shows aliens were watching the astronauts during the fake moon landing! How did they get inside the film studio? We need more answers. Such exciting stuff coming out!
Dostoevsky was 28 when they stood him in front of a firing squad. Blindfolded. Hands tied. He could hear the rifles being loaded.
At the last second a messenger on horseback arrived. The Tsar had commuted the sentence. The entire execution was staged. Psychological torture designed to break him.
It worked. He had a seizure on the spot.
They sent him to a labour camp in Siberia. 4 years. Freezing. Starving. Sleeping on wooden planks next to murderers. His epilepsy got worse. He had no paper. No pen. Nothing.
When he got out he was broke. His first wife died. His brother died. He inherited his brothers debts. He was so desperate for money he signed a contract with a publisher that would have given away the rights to everything hed ever write if he missed the deadline.
He wrote The Gambler in 26 days to make it. Dictated it to a 20 year old stenographer named Anna. Married her three months later.
Then the real work started. Crime and Punishment. The Idiot. Demons. The Brothers Karamazov. The greatest novels in the history of the Russian language. Maybe any language.
The man who stood blindfolded before the firing squad, who convulsed on the ground while soldiers watched, who slept next to killers in Siberia for 4 years, who was buried in debt and grief.
That man wrote: "every minute can be an eternity of happiness."
He earned the right to say it.
its never over. never give up fren.
Willie Nelson's Tips to Living a Long Life:
1. I try to eat pretty sensible.
2. Sometimes I’ll get up and shave, and sometimes I won’t.
3. Shut up.
4. Smoke every day.
5. Have a good garden full of vegetables and maybe a freezer full of some good meat.
6. Worrying will make you sick. If you can’t do anything about it, why the hell worry about it?
7. I see the funny side first.
8. Don’t be an asshole. Don’t be an asshole. Don’t be a goddamn asshole.
9. If you’re thinking negative about anything... erase that.
10. Keep your legs crossed, your nose clean, and stay out of trees.
11. We’re all going to die. There’s not a lot we can do about it. If you hear of anything, let me know.
