Egypt forgot how to build the pyramids.
Rome forgot how to build the aqueducts. Some still carry water today. What they built still stands. Neither civilization remembers how they did it.
Musk: “You look at great civilizations like ancient Egypt, and they were able to make the pyramids, and they forgot how to do that.”
Musk: “And the Romans, they built these incredible aqueducts. They forgot how to do it.”
No army invaded them. The knowledge just stopped getting used, and the moment it did, it was gone.
Same collapse. Compressed into fifty years instead of a thousand.
Musk: “In 1969, we were able to send somebody to the moon… Then the space shuttle retired, and the United States could take no one to orbit.”
Musk: “People are mistaken when they think that technology just automatically improves… it will, by itself, degrade.”
Capability doesn’t sit in a vault. It only exists inside the people doing the work right now.
The second they stop, it doesn’t pause.
It disappears.
That should not scare you. It should focus you.
Nobody loses a civilization to war. They lose it the moment they stop building.
Nobody is owed the future. It belongs to whoever keeps building it.
@folaoftech ThinkPad = Stable job. It's a well managed company with a clear management,business and revenue structure.
Mac = chaotic, nice places to work, good perks. But every year their is a review of staff. As profits above people, job max 4 years.
Dell = Quit on the spot!!
“The real disruption is not AI replacing people. It’s people with AI replacing everyone else.”
Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon, says the people predicting the collapse of white-collar work are missing the real story.
AI is not a replacement layer. It’s a force multiplier for people with expertise. Engineers, doctors and builders won’t disappear — they’ll operate at a scale that used to require entire organizations.
🇺🇸 A Texas biotech company just hatched 26 live chicks from 3D-printed artificial eggs with no shells and no hens.
First time in history a complete bird embryo developed in a fully artificial system.
And that's just the warm-up.
Colossal Biosciences is using this same tech to bring back the South Island giant moa: a 12-foot-tall, 250 kg bird that went extinct 600 years ago.
No surrogate exists on Earth big enough to hatch one. So they built the technology to do it without one.
De-extinction just went from science fiction to a construction project.

خطأ صيني واحد نفع وعلم البشرية...الصين استثمرت حوالي 300 مليار دولار في الألواح الشمسية في منطقة تشكل الصحراء فيها 98% منها.
بعد فترة من تركيب هذه الألواح تسببت في توفير الظل وحجب الرياح عن هذه المنطقة الصحراوية.و المياه المستخدمة في غسل هذه الألواح الشمسية أدت إلى نمو نباتات بكثافة أسفلها ،وتحولت هذه المنطقة الصحراوية من "صفر نباتات" إلى 80% نباتات في غضون 3 سنوات فقط.
ولكن أدى هذا الي ظهور مشكلة!!
بدأت الأشجار والحشائش بالنمو بكثافة لدرجة إعاقة عمل الألواح بكفاءة.
وكانت محاولات حصد الزرع باستخدام الناس مكلفة للغاية ،والمحاولات باستخدام الماكينات لم تنجح في الحصاد تحت الألواح، وبدأ الزرع ينمو فوق الألواح مما خرب إنتاج الطاقة.
اقترح أحدهم إحضار الماشية، واستبعدوا الأبقار لأنها قد تكسر الألواح الشمسية.وكان الحل الأمثل هو إحضار الأغنام (الخراف).
وظهرت النتائج الإيجابية لهذا الاقتراح سريعاً.
أصبحت هذه المنطقة مرعى مثالي لهذه الأغنام فقد كانت الحشائش والنباتات متوفرة بكثرة.
وحولت هذه المشكلة المنطقة الصحراوية إلى منطقة رعوية بإمتياز في سنوات قليلة.
تكاثرت الأغنام من 600 رأس إلى 20,000 رأس في ثلاث سنوات فقط.
وأصبح المكسب مضروب في إثنين بل في ثلاثة إنتاج طاقة متجددة نظيفه ،وتربية مواشي والربح منها ،وايضاً تحويل منطقة صحراوية إلي منطقة رعوية خضراء.
و بداء يطبق مزارعون في أمريكا وفي دول أخرى هذه التجربة الفريدة في مناطق صحراوية بعد أن رأوها وحققت نجاحاً كبيراً.
وهذا ما يمكن أن نسميه فن تحويل المشاكل الي فرص ونجاحات.

@ItsTheEnforcer Are we ever gonna witness an hour of peace in the world? When people dies, we often bid em to rest in peace. Can't we also live in peace when we re alive?
Terence Tao has an IQ above 200.
Youngest gold medalist in Math Olympiad history. Fields Medal winner. The greatest living mathematician by nearly any measure.
And he just said something most people aren’t ready for.
Tao: “This whole era of AI is teaching us that our idea of what intelligence is, is not really accurate.”
We spent centuries building civilization on one assumption.
That intelligence was sacred. Irreducible. Uniquely ours.
The one thing that made the entire human story make sense.
Then AI started solving things we swore only we could.
Chess. Language. Vision. Math.
And every time, we reached for the same defense.
That’s not real intelligence. It’s just tricks. Just pattern matching. Just an algorithm.
Tao: “You look at how it’s done and it doesn’t feel like intelligence.”
So we moved the line.
Again. And again. And again.
Because intelligence was supposed to feel like something. Something deep. Something we could point to and say… this is what separates us from everything else.
But AI kept solving the problems.
And that feeling never arrived.
Tao: “We were looking for some elusive, intelligent way of thinking and we don’t see it in the tools that actually solve our goals.”
Here’s what makes it worse.
Large language models work by predicting the next word. One word at a time. No grand architecture. No deep understanding. Just probability.
And it works.
Tao: “Maybe that’s actually a lot of what humans do as well.”
The greatest living mathematician just told you human thought might run on the same machinery.
Not some transcendent spark.
Pattern recognition. Prediction. One thought, one decision, one word at a time.
We built religion around intelligence. Philosophy around it. An entire species identity around it.
And a machine running probability just held up a mirror.
We didn’t lose intelligence to AI.
We just finally saw what it always was.
What haunts us isn’t that machines learned to think.
It’s that thinking was never what we needed it to be.
Elon Musk just exposed the one lie every modern nation tells itself.
Musk: “In 1969, we were able to send somebody to the moon.”
Rotary phones. Computers the size of rooms. Slide rules.
We put a human on the moon with less processing power than your watch.
Musk: “Then the space shuttle retired, and the United States could take no one to orbit.”
The most advanced nation in human history went from footprints on the moon to zero capability of leaving the atmosphere.
That is not a funding problem.
That is civilizational decay dressed up as a policy decision.
Musk: “People are mistaken when they think that technology just automatically improves… it will, by itself, degrade.”
That sentence should keep you up tonight.
We treat progress like gravity. Like it pulls us forward whether we try or not.
It is the opposite.
Progress is a boulder on a hill. The second you stop pushing, it rolls back over you. And it never announces itself.
Musk: “You look at great civilizations like ancient Egypt, and they were able to make the pyramids, and they forgot how to do that.”
They did not run out of stone.
They were not conquered.
They got comfortable. And the knowledge bled out so quietly that nobody noticed until it was already gone.
That is the real threat to everything we have built.
Not a nuclear flash. Not an asteroid. Not some dramatic Hollywood collapse.
A quiet forgetting.
Every chip we fabricate. Every rocket we launch. Every data center we power. All of it held together by a thin fraction of the population working at a pace that would break most people.
The moment that fraction gets tired or outnumbered by people who believe the machine runs itself, everything dissolves.
And here is the part nobody wants to say out loud.
We are not special. We are running the same operating system as every civilization that came before us.
Comfort is the sedative. Complacency is the flatline.
One generation that stops fighting is all it has ever taken.
You do not lose the future in a war.
You lose it in your sleep.
I've spent my whole life trying to understand why Africa is the poorest region in the world.
Low IQ. Malnutrition. Lack of education. Colonialism. Racism. Laziness.
I've heard every explanation. None of them made sense.
If it’s colonialism, why was Ethiopia (never colonized) for a long time the poster child for African poverty?
Why was Botswana, which was colonized, one of the best performers in Africa? And why is Singapore richer than its former colonizer?
If it's lack of education, why are half of African university graduates unemployed? Why were math degrees from Eswatini raising chickens before we hired them to teach at our virtual school?
The real answer is something nobody wants to talk about:
Babanın çocuğa müdahale etmemesi, oltayı elinden almaması videonun en güzel tarafı.
Çocuk başarmanın verdiği mutluluğu fazlasıyla yaşadı. Özgüvenli, ayakları yere basan insanlar işte böyle yetişiyor.
