The Bible was written on three continents.
Asia.
Africa.
Europe.
In three languages.
Hebrew.
Aramaic.
Greek.
By over 40 different men:
Shepherds.
Kings.
Prophets.
Fishermen.
A tax collector.
A doctor.
A tentmaker.
Written in palaces and prisons.
In deserts and cities.
In freedom and in exile.
Across roughly 1,500 years.
66 books.
One continuous story:
Creation.
Fall.
Redemption.
Christ.
Most of these writers never met.
No committee planned it.
No editor stitched it together.
Yet it opens in a garden with the Tree of Life
and closes in a garden with the Tree of Life.
Different writers.
Different centuries.
Different cultures.
One voice.
Because behind the human hands was a divine Author.
Men held the pens.
But God wrote the story.
′′ Le vélo est la mort lente de la planète ".
Un banquier a fait réfléchir les économistes quand il a déclaré : ′′
Un cycliste est une catastrophe pour l'économie du pays :
il n'achète pas de voitures et n'emprunte pas d'argent pour l'acheter.
Il ne paie pas les polices d'assurance.
N'achète pas de carburant, ne paie pas pour la révision et les réparations nécessaires de la voiture.
N 'utilise pas de parking payant.
Il ne provoque pas d'accidents majeurs.
Ne nécessite pas d'autoroutes multiples.
Il ne devient pas obèse.
Les gens en bonne santé ne sont pas nécessaires ou utiles à l'économie.
Ils n'achètent pas de médicaments, ils ne vont pas dans les hôpitaux ou chez les médecins, ils n'ajoutent rien au PIB du pays.
Tandis que chaque nouveau magasin McDonald' s crée au moins :
30 emplois,
dont 10 cardiologues,
10 dentistes,
10 experts en régime alimentaire et nutritionnistes,
ainsi que les personnes qui travaillent dans le magasin lui-même, évidemment ".
Choisissez donc avec attention : un vélo ou un Mc Donald ?
Ça vaut la peine d'y penser...
PS : marcher c'est encore pire car les piétons n'achètent même pas de vélo !
Dear COLDCARD attackers,
Congratulations. You successfully found a bug, exploited, and have collectively gathered around 1,500 bitcoin.
Now you are sitting on one of the most blacklisted coin stacks in history. It will be nearly impossible for you to exchange for currency or deal with any institution. Every move you make will be highly scrutinized and tracked. Presumably for the rest of your lives, you will be looking over your shoulder.
I suggest you plea with CoinKite to return all stolen funds in return for an audit fee of 5% of the loot. This way your work is rewarded and you are able to enjoy the fruits of your labor.
Respectfully,
hodlers worldwide
Bill Gates “saved” Africa… by DESTROYING their food supply 🚨
Forrest Galante: “I’m going to go on a f-ing rant here.
They gave millions of mosquito nets out to all these people to avoid malaria. Guess what the people who are starving to death did with their mosquito nets. They fished with them.
Mosquito net has a hole that is so small that a mosquito can’t get through. So guess what? These mosquito nets now indiscriminately catch tiny baby fish in areas like Cahora Bassa where the fish go to breed and reproduce and populate. So now all of a sudden you have thousands and thousands of people that have been handed nets that have been living one way for hundreds of thousands of years. They don’t give a shit about malaria.
Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation come in, hand out millions of mosquito nets, absolutely collapse the entire population of fish that feed millions of people because these people just take the nets and fish all the baby fish out so that those fish don’t grow up to make substantial protein sources. So now these wonderful philanthropists that have given out millions of nets have destroyed an ecosystem, crashed a fish population, and created widespread hunger for people that otherwise had plenty of resources. All because they were trying to help with their mosquito nets.
They’ve taken such a rich and important part of Africa, one of the most abundant freshwater fisheries in the world, and destroyed it because they’re ‘helping’ by handing out mosquito nets.
And they’re still giving out mosquito nets, by the way. And you literally watch these guys line up, take a mosquito net, and it never goes in their house. It goes straight to catching fish for them to eat.”
Elon Musk was asked by an interviewer what he does when he makes a wrong decision.
He said he doesn't make decisions based on being right. He makes decisions based on expected value. Which means he expects to be wrong frequently. He said if you're not wrong at least 30% of the time you're not making enough decisions.
He described SpaceX's approach to rocket design. Instead of spending years perfecting a design on paper and then building it, they build it fast, launch it, watch it explode, and use the explosion as data for the next version. The explosions aren't failures. They're the fastest way to generate the information needed for success.
He said most companies fail not because they make bad decisions but because they make too few decisions. They spend so long trying to be right that the opportunity passes. A wrong decision made quickly generates data. A delayed decision generates nothing.
Then he said the part that made the interviewer go quiet. He said the biggest mistakes of his career weren't the times he was wrong. They were the times he was right but too slow. The times he knew the answer and waited for more confirmation before acting. The delay cost more than any wrong answer ever did.
The world sees Elon as a risk taker. He sees himself as someone who moves fast enough that the cost of being wrong is always lower than the cost of being slow. That's not the same thing as courage. It's math.
🇺🇸 Edward Snowden in 2015:
"When you say 'I don't care about the right to privacy because I have nothing to hide.'
That's no different than saying 'I don't care about freedom of speech because I have nothing to say.'"
Damn right...
