A man spends 50 years teaching at MIT.
He knows his time is running out.
So he records one last lecture — everything he knows, distilled into a single hour.
He died 5 months later.
This is that lecture.
The most important hour you'll watch this week. 👇

In the UK, Millie Taplin was attending her first nightclub on her 18th birthday when she was handed a drink by a stranger. The stranger handed her a vodka lemonade “Try this”
Millie took a sip.
Seconds later, her face went numb, her fingers curled into claws and her entire body stiffened like she was possessed.
She stayed fully conscious, trapped inside herself, writhing in agony and screaming in her head that she couldn’t move her body.
Rushed to hospital, doctors said she was likely dosed with two unknown drugs: one to paralyse her, one to knock her out. Tests couldn’t identify the substance.
Her mother later released footage as a warning: never accept a drink from stranger.
One cannot help but wonder how many conflicts might have been mitigated through broader recognition of peace efforts. With another war now unfolding, some may question whether different decisions by the Nobel Peace Prize committee could have influenced course of events. #peace
🇰🇼 2019. BBC went undercover in Kuwait and found apps selling domestic workers like Amazon listings. Prices: $2,000-$5,900 depending on age and nationality.
BBC Arabic posed as buyers. What they found was a thriving black market on apps like 4Sale and Instagram. Sellers advertising migrant women, mostly from Africa, filtered by race, nationality, price.
One case: 16-year-old girl from Guinea offered for $3,800. Negotiations treated her as property. "Withhold her passport, restrict movement."
This isn't isolated. Same thing happening across some other Gulf states.
The kafala system makes it possible: Migrant workers' visas are tied to their employer. Can't change jobs, can't leave the country, can't do anything without sponsor permission. That's ownership.
Arab States have the HIGHEST per capita modern slavery globally. 10.1 people per 1,000. For instance, Saudi Arabia has 740,000 people in modern slavery. Kuwait: Top 10 globally
The 2019 BBC investigation got one 16-year-old girl out. How many are still being traded on apps right now?
