The problem with Jeff Bezos' ideology is that it's based on a false premise. The idea that "six thousand years ago someone invented the plow" is based on a faulty belief that ancient humans functioned as individuals. They did not.

Ancient humans were collectivist. The likelihood that one individual invented anything is slim to none.

This is the myth of the genius.

Archeological evidence demonstrates that for hundreds of thousands of years, early humans congregated around communal gathering places, like the fire, and engaged in problem solving and passing on of shared learning down through generations.

Additionally, the plow (and tools like it) were developed by humans in Mesopotamia, Europe, Egypt, East Asia, sub-Saharan Africa as well as other places - not in one place by one person. This is known as parallel development.

Believing that the plow was invented by one genius is like believing language was invented by one person. It is a silly myth and represents the projection of current moral standards onto past events.

This is called 'presentism' and it is both an uncritical and ignorant way to view history.

Social learning was the main driver of human evolution. Collectivism is how we both survived and progressed as a species.

The myth of the genius is an example of uncritical analysis and a flawed lens used to justify the grotesque hoarding of wealth and obscene inequality that is currently tearing at the social fabric our species.

It needs to be thrown on the trash heap of history.

Tyskland allerede videre før siste gruppespillskamp. Valgte å toppe laget fremfor å hvile spillere.

Jeg tror uansett de tyske supporterne er kjempefornøyde. De fikk jo se stjernene sine mot Ecuador. Da kommer avansement i sluttspillet i andre rekke.

Vegvesenets inkompetanse kapper vingene av sykkelsporten i Norge, skriver jeg på https://t.co/Fl2lk4myC8 i dag.

Deres risikoanalyse er så svak, og får så store konsekvenser at det er umulig å akseptere.

Joe Gomez on the Anfield boos: "We get it, we understand it. For us older boys who have experienced so many good times here it does hurt. If it didn't then you shouldn't still be here. We want to make it right.
"It's just a reaction to the whole year, and that's fair enough. The fans pay their hard-earned money to come and watch us and they're entitled to show their frustration."

Arne Slot is a Premier League title winner, yes, but the conditions for that triumph have disappeared.

There are mitigations, yes, but Liverpool are no longer a team to fear, they are deferential, and obliging to the most embattled of sides.

It’s not just the style of play that is unrecognisable, but what the team stands for, and how they are seen…

[Jermaine Pennant @pennant83]

Enough of the excuses now, yes injuries don’t help but every team has injuries, but this is enough now, Slot can not be the manager next season, cos this style of football is not Liverpool. Don’t tell me he won the league last season, he’s got to go end of. #LIVCHE

Nike spent millions on “Breaking2,” an attempt to break the 2 hour marathon by Eliud Kipchoge.

Kipchoge did it in Nikes in 2019, but it was with lazers and pacemakers. It didn’t count.

Today, 2 men do it officially. Both in adidas. The hits keep coming.

Why do clubs keep hiring Frank Lampard? 😂

[Jermaine Pennant @pennant83]

From formations to team selection to lack of pressing and zero intensity at times, (which is the bare minimum for a team like Liverpool FC) - it’s just not working & we’re at the end of the season. And yes, players have got to step up, but who’s commander in chief…

🚨 Pep Guardiola hits back at Jim Ratcliffe: "We treat immigrants or people that come from other countries like they are the ones causing problems for our country. It's a big problem because the fact I am Catalan and you are British? What influence did we have on where we were born?

"Everyone wants to have a better life, everyone wants to have a better future for themselves and their families. Sometimes the opportunities are where you are born and sometimes it is in the place where you go.

"The colour of your skin or the place where you were born don't make a difference.

"Most people run away from their countries for the problems that are in their country, not because they want to leave.

"The more we embrace other cultures, truly embrace it, then we will have a better society - I do not have any doubts about that."

[Leyla Hamed @leylahamed]

Mauricio Pochettino last week:
“We are not politicians. We are sportspeople and we can only talk about sports.”

Pep Guardiola today:
“In every position I can help by speaking up, I will be there.”

Same game. Very different sense of responsibility.
