The most important quality for a smart person is courage because without it their intellect will be leveraged to rationalize their fears and concoct the most convincing excuses not to act.

@BNPPFBelgique Vous avez la moitié de la ville en construction. J'imagine qu'ajouter quelques bancs de plus ne sera pas un gros casse-tête.

[Álvaro Rangel @Alvaro710]

Il y a un gros problème dans cette ville pour prélever @VilleBruxelles. À Flagey, l'unique banque (@Belfius) avait une file d'attente d'environ 10 personnes, avec un seul terminal sur les trois fonctionnant - les autres n'avaient plus du cash, évidemment.

[Álvaro Rangel @Alvaro710]

Le @BNPPFBelgique qui était a côté, fermé. La banque la plus proche pour prélever est à 15-20 minutes à pied. Et il en va de même pour pratiquement tous les quartiers. Résultat : une demi-heure perdue, et pas du cash aujourd'hui. C'est pas normal.

What a story. I think many people should listen to this. A word of courage.

Perhaps the education systems have something to say here. And society, in general. You politicise and relativise history - from left to right - at your peril.

I think no degree today is worth the education you get reading these books. The experience you get in university campuses and exchange programs is another story.

Religious thinking is nowadays far more sophisticated than that. We neither need to build beautiful cathedrals or carving La pietá. And yet we know beauty is good. When science becomes scientism, we have an issue: it’s a fantastic tool, but a tyrannical master.

Cardiovascular health i.e. diet and sport, and constant learning = dementia rates decrease. And it's happening.

Not everything is bad news. In fact, we have excellent news almost every day.

Hey, it's still the best times to be alive ;)

That's how you close an article:

"We can reflect on each new provisional chapter that emerges, including the incredible tale of how over 8bn people alive today carry the genetic torch for 1,280 of the toughest souls who ever lived."
