I never imagined I'd be the one asking for help.
I've spent my life on the other side checking pulses, holding hands, telling patients "you'll be okay." Today, I'm the one who needs to hear that.
This is Day One of appealing to my 30 Followers,online community and well-wishers to help me raise the Sh6 million needed for my kidney transplant.

There is always another video, another thread, another outrage, another explanation, another person who has figured out the thing you haven't figured out yet.

The scarce resource isn't information anymore.
There is effectively infinite information.
The scarce resource is ...a sufficiently long period in which nothing else is telling your mind what to think about.
That is where your own narrative can emerge.
When you vividly imagine a future, you create a counterfactual reality in your mind: โWhat if this were possible?โ
The moment that possibility becomes emotionally and cognitively real enough, it begins to alter your present behavior.
You notice different opportunities.
You tolerate different costs.
You make different decisions.
You allocate your attention differently.
You acquire different skills.
You approach different people.
You persist where you previously quit.
And those tiny changes compound.
So the causal chain is not:
Imagine โ Universe provides โ Future appears.
It is:
Imagine โ possibility becomes salient โ desire becomes organized โ attention changes โ choices change โ behavior changes โ environment responds โ new possibilities emerge โ future changes.
Imagination creates possibilities.
Possibilities create choices.
Choices create experiments.
Experiments generate information.
Information modifies the story.
The modified story generates better possibilities.
So mastery isn't having the perfect story.

@raphaelekutt I turned off all notifications because of these. Now if someone sends me money I have to manually check...and even then, I get a pop up to fund my betting account or something
Hello everyone, please help me and repost.๐
Iโm posting on behalf of my father again until he gets a job.
My father is a professional driver who resides in Aba. He has been a driver for more than a decade and has a good safety record.
He is honest, hardworking and punctual.
Heโs currently looking for a driving job. If you know anyone who needs a bus or truck driver, please send a direct message to me on WhatsApp or call; 08143579021.
His preferred routes: Aba - Umuahia or Aba - Owerri.
If my father gets a job, Iโll be the most happiest person.๐ฅน
May God bless you as you repost.๐๐ค
In a world engineered around distraction, the scarce resource is no longer information itโs uninterrupted thought.
We are constantly interrupted by notifications, conversations, screens, crowds, algorithms, and the ambient presence of other people, rarely allowing a thought to develop beyond its first impulse.
Deep thinking requires continuity: the ability to stay with an idea long enough for it to become something more than a reaction.
The modern problem isnโt that people canโt think; itโs that they almost never remain undisturbed long enough to discover what they actually think.
Heartbreaking video showing a father begging Nigerians to help save his daughter after she underwent surgery. Due to a lack of funds for her continued treatment, her condition has worsened, and her stomach has become severely swollen. Please share this video ๐ญ
The United States has approximately 5,200 nuclear warheads.
It is the only country in history to have used nuclear weapons on human beings.
It used them on a civilian population. Twice.
The United Kingdom has approximately 225.
France has approximately 290.
These are the countries leading the international campaign against nuclear proliferation.
Not one of them has disarmed under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which legally obligates them to work toward disarmament. Not one.
The NPT has been in force since 1970.
Fifty-six years.
The nuclear powers have modernized their arsenals, developed new delivery systems, and in the case of the United States, budgeted over $1.7 trillion for nuclear modernization over the next thirty years.
So your question, "Is proliferation good?", would be more interesting if you directed it at the countries that have been proliferating, continuously, for eighty years, while telling everyone else that the capacity they are expanding for themselves is too dangerous for others to possess.
The question is not whether nuclear weapons are good.
The question is why the word "proliferation" only applies to the countries that don't already have them.
That asymmetry is the argument.
You haven't addressed it.
