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. 👇

"My son please wake up, wake up, I know you're there, my son you're not dead. Promise isn't dead, my son wake up" This is a mother begging and hoping her son comes back to life.
This woman didn't make it. She passed too. Nigeria has shattered me💔💔
At 23, with no prior experience, I turned this dilapidated building into Nigeria’s first offgrid hospital.
Here’s how (5 principles) 🧵:

One of the biggest mistakes I see parents make is exposing their children to screens too early.
A 2023 study published in JAMA Pediatrics followed over 7,000 children and found that those with higher screen time at age 1 showed significantly more developmental delays by age 2.
We’re talking language, problem-solving, social skills.
If you’re not yet a parent, hear this clearly.
One of the greatest gifts you can give your future child is limiting screen exposure from day one.
And when I say limit, I don’t mean “reduce it a bit.” I mean don’t normalize it around them.
At that age, your child is studying you.
Watching you. Copying you.
If you’re always on your phone, always pressing something, always staring at a screen, they become curious.
What’s so interesting on that device?
Why does mummy or daddy keep going back to it?
You can’t fight curiosity you’re modeling every day.
You can’t say “don’t touch it” when you’re glued to it.
If you’re serious about protecting your child’s development, treat screens the way you would treat something inappropriate.
You don’t display it casually. You don’t make it accessible. You control the environment.
No TV constantly running in the sitting room.
No phone-as-babysitter.
No background noise from cartoons all day.
The earlier years are foundational.
That brain is wiring itself based on real human interaction.
A child learns to talk because people talk to them.
They pick up emotional cues from faces, tone, eye contact.
They build attention span through boredom, exploration, touch, movement.
When screens replace that, the wiring changes. And it shows up years later in a classroom.
Another study from the National Institutes of Health found that children who spent more than two hours a day on screens had lower scores on thinking and language tests.
Their brain scans actually looked different.
This isn’t opinion.
We’re seeing more speech delays. More attention struggles.
Children who can swipe a screen before they can speak in full sentences. And it’s not mysterious.
When a child’s brain gets used to rapid cuts, bright colors, algorithm-driven stimulation, and instant dopamine hits, then you hand them a book and expect focus… that’s a difficult transition.
You can’t train deep focus on a brain conditioned for constant stimulation.
And then we blame the child.
The truth is, most of it started with the environment.
Yes, there are “educational shows.” Yes, moderation matters.
But nothing replaces direct teaching. Direct conversation. Play. Storytelling. Eye contact. Silence. Boredom.
If you already have kids and screens are already part of the home, adjust gradually. Set new boundaries. It’s not too late for the brain to adapt.
But if you’re yet to become a parent… start with intention.
Create a home where screens are tools, not background noise.
Where interaction beats animation.
Where your child’s brain develops from real life, not pixels.
Your child’s first screen habit is watching yours.
I am leaving Christianity…🙁🙁🙁🙁
Yes, you heard me right. I’ve been wrestling with this for a long time, and today I’m finally letting it out.
I am leaving Christianity because of the following “serious” issues:
I can’t even live my old life in peace anymore. Christianity has ruined it completely.
Anytime I try to tell a simple, innocent lie, the Holy Spirit starts convicting me. Next thing you know, I’m confessing like someone under investigation.
Why is the Holy Spirit always trying to guide me to the right path when all I want is to misbehave in peace?
Why did God become a man to take the punishment I deserve? Who told Him to love me that much?
Why did God humble Himself lower than an angel just because of me? What’s my business? Am I not allowed to stay useless in peace?
Why is God so consistent with His message that He left no loophole for me to find fault? At least make small mistake so I can argue!
Why did Jesus live a sinless life and then tell us to be like Him when I can’t even go 24 hours without sinning? How is that fair?
Why does God want me to love my enemies when I’m still struggling to love myself?
Why did Jesus say “turn the other cheek” when what I really want is to return slap with interest?
Why is God offering me eternal life for free just by believing in Christ? Why can’t I really hard for it? Why so generous?
Why does Christianity want me to stop gossiping and living a hypocritical life when that was literally my talent?
Christianity has made me understand love too much. Now I’m here loving everybody like a malfunctioning robot, help!
It even stripped me of my pride. I used to be proudly proud for no reason. Now I’m humble like someone applying for visa.
Honestly, Christianity must be false, because it has taken away all the nonsense I enjoyed and replaced it with peace, joy, and salvation that I didn’t even work for.
So yes… after deep reflection,
I am officially leaving Christianity… to become a TRUE Christian.
@JohnMappin The idea that God "needs" humans to do his work is a pagan small view of God, not the Christian view.
God in his providence is pleased to use us to accomplish his work, but he could certainly do it through others, or without us at all.

To the Muslims who continually pray for me to be k!lled, k!dnapped, or to di£ mysteriously because I am a former #Muslim turned #Christian, please listen to this.
As for me, Christ is my Lord and Saviour, and nothing can change that.
Christ in me, the Hope of Glory!
In Christ, The Solid Rock, I Stand!
Francis Schaeffer in 1982 confronting the cowardice and apathy of Christians who failed to take a stand against the advance of evil in the American culture:
"This is true spirituality. Spirituality...means that Christ is the Lord of all your life and not just your religious life. And if you make a dichotomy in these things, you are denying your Lord His proper place. And I don't care how many butterflies you have in your stomach, you are poor spiritually."
A man was strangled for a Christmas present.
Then burned.
His crime?
He translated the Bible into English.
1536. A prison courtyard in Belgium.
William Tyndale kneels in the dirt.
He's been there over a year. Betrayed by a friend. Arrested for heresy. Stripped of his priesthood in a public ceremony designed to humiliate him.
The executioner steps forward.
Rope around the neck.
Twist.
Then they set his body on fire.
His last words, shouted loud enough for the crowd to hear:
"Lord, open the King of England's eyes!"
Here's what they don't teach you:
In 1536, Scripture belonged to the priests.
Latin only.
If you wanted to know what God said, you asked a man in robes. You paid for the privilege. You believed whatever interpretation he handed you.
Tyndale said no.
He said a plowboy in a field should read the same words as the Pope in Rome.
That sentence cost him everything.
For twelve years he lived as a fugitive.
Fled England. Hid in Germany. Translated in secret. Smuggled Bibles in bales of cloth.
Every copy he printed was illegal.
Every copy that reached English shores was burned.
And still they came.
The Church hunted him like an animal.
They finally caught him through betrayal.
A man he trusted turned him over for money.
Sound familiar?
Here's the part that wrecked me:
Two years after Tyndale was strangled and burned, King Henry VIII authorized an English Bible in every church in England.
Eighty percent of it came from Tyndale's translation.
The King James Version on your shelf?
Tyndale is the foundation.
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son..."
That's Tyndale.
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God..."
Tyndale wrote that in English while hiding from men who wanted him dead.
His prayer was answered.
The King's eyes were opened.
The book he died for became the most published book in human history.
And it's sitting on your nightstand.
Unopened.
A man was strangled and burned so your family could read Scripture in English.
When's the last time you opened it?
