Politics without principles
Wealth without work
Pleasure without conscience
Knowledge without character
Commerce without morality
Science without humanity
Worship without sacrifice

At the peak of the 17th century Mughal Empire (spanning modern-day India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan) a brutal family tragedy unfolded between Emperor Jahangir and his brilliant eldest son, Prince Khusrau.
As the heir apparent, Khusrau was deeply adored, yet he succumbed to a manic paranoia that his father would cheat him out of the throne.
Consumed by this delusion, the prince launched a sudden military rebellion against his own father, plunging the wealthy empire into a bloody civil war. Jahangir successfully crushed the uprising, but because he loved his son, he hesitated to execute him, choosing instead to imprison him in the hope that his mind would clear.
However, Khusrau’s unstable ambition couldn't be tamed; following a second daring escape attempt, a devastated Jahangir ordered the prince to be blinded.
Seeing their brother half-mad and sightless, the remaining royal siblings launched a ruthless covert war for succession, culminating in Khusrau's younger brother - the future Shah Jahan, builder of the Taj Mahal - having the blinded prince quietly murdered in his cell.
Jahangir’s initial leniency towards his son's betrayal sparked a decades-long cycle of paranoid family infighting that permanently scarred the Mughal court, drained its immense wealth, and proved that in the game of empires, mercy can be a fatal mistake.
Quant education tier list: What to study to quantmaxx your way into the quant trading world. 😂 Before people crucify me, I speak as an F-tier myself. 🫡 (We tried to be as objective as possible. We have a quant group chat here, so this isn't solely my work.) Details below.
The Black intellectual man is the most misread person in his own community. Too Black for white spaces. Too articulate for street credibility. Too thoughtful for the masculine archetype. He exists in a gap that nobody built infrastructure for and navigates it mostly alone.
Safaricom has been ordered by the High Court to pay over KES 1.4B in damages to inventor Peter Nthei and Beluga Limited after the court found that the telco infringed copyright in the “M-TEEN Mobile Wallet” concept when developing its child-focused “Manage Child Account” and “M-Pesa Go” products.
The dispute dates back to a 2021 pitch by Nthei to Safaricom executives.

The stupidity of these @Stanford students to take the greatest opportunity for equality in humanity ever and to really free humanity and go walk out on @google and @sundarpichai that's pioneered that. Biased, idiotic, short-sighted and very selfish. Selfish because they ignored the bottom 3 billion people on this planet that could benefit from AI and they are worried about their misinformed selfish self-interest.

a powerful statistic by any measure. you flip it on its head following the 80:20 power law......and you have a livelier debate about where media power actually lies!
@DrMichER Radio still reaches 80% of the population, people should not rush to rub it off.
Social media is an eco chamber of the middle class. I work in an industry, we rely heavily on up country radio stations for promotions.
Radio is followed by TVs & then SM in the third position.
Just two weeks ago South Africa donated 2.5 million dollars to DRC for their fight against Ebola. Only African country to have done that so far actually.
But here we are branded as the prime enemies of Pan Africanism whilst the kings of Pan Africanism haven't even donated a Single cent or sent any form of help. We have our problems yes and challenges of xenophobia but Africa collectively must not act they themselves are models of solidarity in tough times.
