The argument Ayittey most wanted Africans to hear, and the one almost nobody quotes, is that socialism was never African.

Pre-colonial Africa had open markets, long-distance trade, and private enterprise. Cloth-weaving, iron and gold smelting, regional commerce.

Property was held by extended families and clans, not by the state.

I’m neurodivergent and have a PhD in healthcare research.

Here are 13 subtle signs your body needs support, not more discipline:

1. You want people around you and you want them gone — at the same time.

Here is something special for all the Vadim Zeland fans out there, and all those interested in Transurfing Reality.

This video is a visual guide to his core concepts with my original art and music.

The full in-depth article "Reality Transurfing Unpacked - An Indepth Guide to Vadim Zeland's Model of Reality" is linked in the comments.

Me ha gustado mucho este libro. El año pasado leí “Vivir con nuestros muertos” de la misma autora, también recomendable.

Gran idea la del ayuntamiento. Tener a centenares de ciudadanos paseándose con la ropa de “me han robao” es una campaña publicitaria sin parangón.

Birds can literally see the Earth’s magnetic field thanks to specialized light-sensitive proteins in their eyes.

Migratory birds possess one of nature’s most remarkable superpowers: the ability to navigate thousands of miles with incredible precision. At the center of this ability is a protein called Cry4 (cryptochrome 4), found in the retinas of their eyes.

When blue light enters the bird’s eye, it triggers a quantum reaction in the Cry4 proteins known as the radical pair mechanism. This ultra-sensitive process responds to the orientation and strength of the Earth’s magnetic field, essentially turning the bird’s visual system into a biological compass.

Scientists believe birds don’t just sense magnetism — they may actually see it. The quantum fluctuations likely appear as subtle visual patterns, shadows, or color gradients overlaid on their normal vision, much like an augmented reality heads-up display.

This extraordinary adaptation allows migratory birds to cross oceans, deserts, and mountain ranges with pinpoint accuracy, relying on the strange rules of quantum mechanics to guide them on their epic journeys.

Si yo fuera el abogado de Leire Díez le recomendaría que dijera que "P.S." significa "Puto Subnormal". Con esto abres el abanico a unos extremos inmanejables.

“When our genes could not store all the information necessary for survival, we slowly invented brains. But then the time came, perhaps ten thousand years ago, when we needed to know more than could conveniently be contained in brains. So we learned to stockpile enormous quantities of information outside our bodies. We are the only species on the planet, so far as we know, to have invented a communal memory stored neither in our genes nor in our brains. The warehouse of that memory is called the library.

A book is made from a tree. It is an assemblage of flat, flexible parts (still called ‘leaves’) imprinted with dark pigmented squiggles. One glance at it and you hear the voice of another person - perhaps someone dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, the author is speaking, clearly and silently, inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people, citizens of distant epochs, who never knew one another. Books break the shackles of time, proof that humans can work magic.”
