Something I want to share with this community 🌍

50% of people never read a single book.
Only 20% read more than one a year.

And yet everyone has an opinion.

Here's the problem, if all your thoughts come from social media, you're not forming opinions. You're borrowing someone else's.

The people who understand what's happening in the world right now, the war in Iran, the oil crisis, the political chaos, are the people who studied what came before it.

History doesn't repeat itself exactly.
But it rhymes.

Every crisis we're living through has happened before in some form. The 1973 oil embargo. The 1929 crash. The wars that reshaped the world.

The answers are in the books.
Not the algorithms.

Read about the past and the present starts to make sense.
Understand the present and you'll see the future coming before most people do.

That's what this page is about.
Asking the questions. Doing the research. Thinking for yourself.

What was the last book you read that changed how you see the world?

Drop it below 👇 Let's build a reading list together.

@RockstarGames Whats the point tweeting about an end of life game

[TheGlobalDebate @TheGlobalDebate]

Right now. Today. As you read this.

4 humans are halfway to the moon. 🌕

For the first time in 54 years.

🚀 Launched April 1st from Kennedy Space Center
🌍 685,000 mile journey around the moon and back
📅 Splashdown April 10th
👨‍🚀 Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch & Jeremy Hansen
🌑 They'll go behind the moon Monday, losing ALL contact with Earth for 40 minutes

While the world argues about war, oil, and politics, four people are looking back at Earth from space.

Commander Wiseman described it:
'You could see the entire globe, from pole to pole. Africa. Europe. The northern lights.'

Now the big question 👇

If you could go to the moon tomorrow, would you?

tell us why 👇

🚨 QUICK RECAP:
Artemis II is halfway to the moon.
The world is at war.
Oil is at $140.
Markets are crashing.

And four humans are quietly flying to the moon anyway.

Is space exploration the most important thing humanity is doing right now — or the most irresponsible?

🔴 Most important — our future is up there
🔵 Irresponsible — fix earth first

🚨 QUICK RECAP:
People were forcibly removed from their land to build Nigeria's capital city Abuja.
Decades later they're still homeless.
Still voiceless.
Still waiting.

Is this what progress looks like?

🔴 No — governments must protect their people
🔵 Yes — cities require sacrifice

🚨 QUICK RECAP:
Bombay was a small British fort city.
Today Mumbai is home to 21 million people and one of the most powerful economies on earth.

Britain built the foundations.
India built the empire.

Who deserves the credit?

🔴 Britain — without colonisation it doesn't exist
🔵 India — they built it into what it is
🟪 Both — it's complicated

@NBCNews Trump just signed a memo to pay government workers during a shutdown.

But there IS no shutdown right now.

So why does this memo exist?

Is a government shutdown coming?

🔴 Yes — it's being planned
🔵 No — just good policy

@FoxNews An astronaut just said what most people are afraid to say.

'It's the story of humanity, not black history, not women's history.'

Do you agree?

🔴 Yes — achievement has no colour or gender

35 days ago oil was $60 a barrel.

Today it's $140.

More than doubled in 5 weeks.

Your energy bill. Your food shop. Your mortgage. Your petrol.

All of it is being decided by a war most people didn't vote for and nobody can stop.

At what point does the cost to ordinary people become unacceptable?

@TheGlobalDebate 🌍

[TheGlobalDebate @TheGlobalDebate]

@FT A French container ship just sailed through the Strait of Hormuz while the US Navy stands back and watches.

Trump told the world to 'get their own oil' and now France is doing exactly that.

Brave or reckless?

🔴 Brave — someone has to do it
🔵 Reckless — sitting duck

@GlynisWinestein Glynis you're bringing up points most analysts are missing 👏

The Helium angle is huge, most people have no idea how much medical equipment depends on it.

MRI machines, cooling systems, and scientific research are all at risk.

You should be writing for us! 😂

Oil has doubled in 3 months.

Do you think the King's visit will strengthen or weaken Britain's position on the world stage?

No 10 minute appointments, no waiting lists, no being dismissed.

AI just ranked #1 in Medicine & Healthcare.

Should doctors be legally required to use it as a second opinion?

Because if a machine is more accurate than a human what's the argument against it?

Current release of Grok is much than beta 1, which beat Opus in this arena. We usually update the model twice a week.

Try the current version of Grok Heavy and you will be pleasantly surprised.
