Modern fitness ve diyet endüstrisinde kas yapmak veya kilo vermek için pratik birer "sağlık kaynağı" olarak pazarlanan protein barları ve fit aburcuburlar; metabolizmayı yavaşlatan, tiroidi baskılayan, bağırsakları tahriş eden ve stres hormonlarını tetikleyen aşırı işlenmiş ++
There's a physicist at Stanford named Safi Bahcall who modeled this exact principle and the math is wild.
He calls it "phase transitions in human networks." When you're stationary, your probability of a lucky event is limited to your existing surface area: the people you already know, the places you already go, the ideas you've already been exposed to. Your opportunity window is fixed.
When you move, your collision rate with new nodes in a network increases nonlinearly. Double your movement (new conversations, new cities, new projects) and your probability of a serendipitous encounter doesn't double. It roughly quadruples. Because each new node connects you to their entire network, not just to them.
Richard Wiseman ran a 10-year study at the University of Hertfordshire tracking self-described "lucky" and "unlucky" people. The single biggest differentiator wasn't IQ, education, or family money. Lucky people scored significantly higher on one trait: openness to experience. They talked to strangers more, varied their routines more, and said yes to invitations at nearly twice the rate.
The "unlucky" group followed the same routes, ate at the same restaurants, and talked to the same 5 people. Their networks were closed loops. No new inputs, no new collisions.
Luck isn't random. Luck is surface area. And surface area is a function of movement.
The lobster emoji is doing more work than most people realize. Lobsters grow by shedding their shell when it gets too tight. The growth requires a period of total vulnerability. No protection, no armor, soft body exposed to the ocean.
That's the cost of movement nobody posts about. You have to be uncomfortable first. The new shell only hardens after you've already moved.
To God we belong, and to Him we return
On this Father’s Day, I regrettably share and honor Akeel Nanabawa and his family wife Hanna and 4 year old daughter Sara - they were on the Air India flight that crashed and as a result passed away
Their family has set up a sadaqah jariyah for them, funds raised will set up a scholarship fund at Al Ashraf Primary School, a community they deeply loved.
May Allah enter them into paradise without account, hand in hand as a family; and make every dollar and pound raised be a continuous charity that brings them rewards for generations to come 🤲 (link below)

I am leaving @Google this week due to retaliation & hostility against workers who speak out. Google moved my role overseas immediately after I opposed its $1B AI/surveillance contracts with Israel. And this is far from an isolated instance.

As India celebrates 75 years of independence, I had the privilege of speaking to survivors of India’s partition.
We spoke about loss, heartache and reclaiming history as South Asians in the UK. #IndiaAt75
