I made a quick summary with a mind map of the book CHAOS, Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties. It's very relevant to today, specially because it relates to the JFK files.
Candace Owens is doing a deep dive in this book in her book club and mentions it quite a lot in her show. Joe Rogan had the author, Tom O'Neil, on his show a couple of years ago. And Ian Carroll mentioned this book a couple of times because it relates to his investigation on intelligence agencies. It's a must read in order for us to understand more about what was going on in the sixties and how it shaped a lot of our politics.
Hope you like it ✌️

🔴 İtalya Başbakanı Giorgia Meloni’nin kızı, Cenevre’deki G7 Zirvesi’ne gelişte annesinin arkasına saklanınca sosyal medyada gündem oldu.

Utangaç tavırlarıyla kameralardan kaçmaya çalışan küçük kız, zirvenin en çok konuşulan anlarından birine imza attı.

Eis mais um belíssimo exemplo do uso educacional da IA. Observem os detalhes da orla do Rio de Janeiro em 1502, que perfeição.

The key to saving the environment is not looking backward, it’s moving forward.

I realized this the first time I visited Italy twenty years ago. Everything was clean and green. The rivers sparkled. The lesson for me was obvious: the answer is not underdevelopment. The answer is progress.

When China was poor, the air was so polluted that people could barely see the blue sky. Today, blue skies have returned to their cities. Development does not only create wealth, it also provides the resources needed to restore and protect the environment.

Some environmentalists want us to preserve every aspect of our biodiversity, including the mosquitoes for example, so that researchers can fly in once every ten years from their universities (which build particle accelerators and billion-dollar laboratories with their pocket money), study our ecosystems, and count how many people died from dengue outbreaks.

They want to buy our air through carbon credits. If carbon credits were such a great deal, they would be selling them to us, not the other way around.

Cleaning every river, lake, and water source in El Salvador, and ensuring they remain clean and sparkling, would cost roughly $12 billion. Where is that money supposed to come from without economic development? Carbon credits?

The path forward for our country is the path of Japan and Singapore, not the path of the Congo.

Meet Kamryn Penny, of Charlotte NC.

In January, he was shot in the back during a robbery, which paralyzed him from the waist down.

Doctors gave him less than a 1% chance of ever walking again in his life.

He just walked across the stage to receive his high school diploma! ❤️

Jingdezhen shows what happens when a civilization takes one craft seriously for centuries.

For more than 1,700 years, this city shaped porcelain so fine that it crossed courts, oceans, dining rooms, and trade routes.

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, its kilns served imperial taste and exported huge amounts of porcelain to Europe.

A cup was never just a cup.

It carried China’s technical skill and visual taste across the world.

DO YOU KNOW THE CHINESE WOMAN
At last night’s dinner banquet, a Chinese woman from Hunan sat in the most prominent seat between two figures known to the entire world: to her left, Tim Cook, and to her right, Elon Musk.

Forty years ago, she was a poor rural girl who left school at the age of 15.

Her name is Zhou Qunfei

She lost her mother at five, and her father was injured in an accident while making explosives, leaving him blind with damaged hands. The family survived by making handmade baskets.

At fifteen, she left her village for Guangdong to work, joining a watch‑glass factory in Shenzhen. She worked on the production line during the day and studied at night school, earning certificates in accounting, computing, customs clearance, and driving.

After just three years, she rose from a simple worker to a factory manager.

But she later resigned after being sidelined in favor of the owners’ relatives.

She left with modest capital: 20,000 yuan and eight of her relatives.

They rented a small apartment that became both a factory and a home. She would go from factory to factory offering her services, then return at night to work until 3 a.m.

She continued like this for ten years.

Then came the first opportunity in 2003.

Motorola wanted to manufacture its iconic V3 phone with nearly impossible specifications: ultra‑thin, ultra‑clear glass with zero defects.

Every factory refused.

She accepted.

The mission succeeded, and the phone sold more than 100 million units worldwide. From there, **Lens Technology** was born.

Then came Apple.

When Steve Jobs wanted to build the first iPhone with a strengthened glass that had never been commercially produced, Apple’s engineers searched the world for a factory willing to take the challenge.

They found only Zhou Qunfei.

After months of joint work, she succeeded in producing the first iPhone screen, later becoming the largest supplier of glass for Apple devices—from iPhone to iPad, MacBook, and Apple Watch.

Tesla, Mercedes, BMW, and others followed, entrusting her with manufacturing automotive glass, smart displays, and even components for humanoid robots.

That is why she sat in the most prominent seat last night.

To her left, Tim Cook, whose Apple has relied on her factories for 18 years; to her right, Elon Musk, whose Tesla and Optimus robots depend on her technologies.

When asked about the secret of her success, she did not speak of luck, intelligence, or even hard work.

She simply said:

Dare to accept.

Then added:

The things others see as impossible… accept them.
The tasks everyone runs away from… accept them.
When you accept the challenge, you learn how to succeed in it.
And when you succeed, bigger challenges come to you.
Opportunities are not discovered by people… opportunities are the things others abandon, and you bend down to pick them up.

[Dr. Taylor Burrowes @taylorburrowes]

The healthiest marriage architecture has a man who leaves the house every day.

Not because she wants him gone. Because he’s built for it… the territorial, external-facing, adversarial. He needs to climb something. Compete. Be around other men.

She needs the opportunity to soften into her domain… to spruce, leisure, preen without interruption. All the things you don’t want an audience for. To be the version of herself that only emerges when no one is watching.

Jeff Bezos asked a room to imagine going back a hundred years.

When almost everyone was a farmer.

And telling those farmers that in 2018 there’d be a job called “massage therapist.”

Bezos: “They would not have believed you.”

Then a friend took it further.

Bezos: “Forget massage therapist, there are dog psychiatrists.”

He looked it up.

Bezos: “Sure enough, you can easily hire a psychiatrist for your dog.”

The room laughed.

The point under the laughter wasn’t funny at all.

Every time a major technology shift hits, we do the exact same thing.

We count the jobs it will destroy.

We never count the ones it will create.

Because we can’t.

They don’t have names yet.

The fear is always specific.

AI will replace accountants. AI will replace radiologists. AI will replace drivers.

The fear has job titles and timelines and projections.

The opportunity has none of those things.

Because you can’t name what doesn’t exist yet.

A farmer in 1920 could understand losing his job to a tractor.

He could not understand gaining a career as a social media strategist.

Not because he lacked intelligence.

Because the entire chain of inventions between his world and that job hadn’t been built yet.

Radio. Television. The internet. Smartphones. Social platforms. Creator economies.

Every single link in that chain had to exist before “social media strategist” could even be a sentence.

That’s where we are with AI right now.

Everyone is staring at the tractor.

Nobody can see the thing seven inventions away that doesn’t have a name yet.

The fear is loud because it fits inside language we already have.

The opportunity is silent because it doesn’t.

Every technological revolution in history created more jobs than it destroyed.

Every single one.

Not because anyone planned it.

Because human needs expand faster than machines can fill them.

We didn’t need massage therapists when we were breaking our backs on farms.

We needed them after machines freed our backs and stress replaced labor.

The demand didn’t disappear.

It migrated somewhere no one was looking.

That is exactly what’s happening right now.

The jobs AI creates won’t make sense to us yet.

They’ll sound as absurd as “dog psychiatrist” would’ve sounded to a farmer in 1920.

Until someone is running a $200 hourly practice with a six-month waitlist.

The entire conversation right now is about what we’re about to lose.

Nobody is talking about what we’re about to gain.

Because the gains don’t have vocabulary yet.

A hundred years from now, someone will stand on a stage and describe the jobs we couldn’t imagine today.

And the audience will laugh.

The same way we just did.

Elon completely stole the banquet 😂

He was already posing for someone else when Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun walked up to his idol asking for a selfie

Elon instantly poses with the funniest face

does the same funny expression with Apple CEO Tim Cook too

Now Elon became the MAIN attraction across Chinese media and the entire world 🤣
