Mort de Richard Harrison, légendaire acteur de série B passé à la postérité pour ses films d'action 80's (dont un bon paquet de nanars cultissimes). Il avait 90 ans.

Milton Friedman: “A major source of objection to a free economy is precisely that it…gives people what they want instead of what a particular group thinks they ought to want. Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself.”

I have read Ugandan literature on Museveni and how he loves Uganda.

But I refuse to believe that he truly loves the nation when he doesn't do what the nation truly needs: setting up a development, security, social, and economic blueprint that outlasts his time in office.

The flaw arises when one soldier believes he is the only capable soul who can oversee Uganda, that's plain cognitive disorder.

George Washington and Abraham Lincoln set the model and left office leading by example, showing how the office should be bigger than any politician. 250 years later, America is still going strong.

What's next after Museveni is gone? Maybe his son is next, and that's called dictatorship evolving into a dynasty.

The nation needs a strong currency, industry, production, markets, education, and healthcare, not gods, not special soldiers.

Uganda is spending significant wealth protecting one man's ambition to rule until death, and his family's dynastic ambitions, when that effort could instead be directed toward developing the country.

The historical record is unambiguous the Ottoman Empire, the Mongol Empire, the Ashanti Empire, the Zulu Kingdom under Shaka, the Ethiopian Empire, imperial Japan, the Aztec and Inca empires all built through conquest, tribute extraction and forced incorporation of other peoples

俄罗斯这个国家几乎可以断定会错过ai发展的黄金期，我想50年之后当历史评价普京可能会有这么一句话：他用21世纪的资源，打了一场20世纪的战争，试图去复活一个19世纪的帝国版图，结果却把俄罗斯的22世纪给透支了。

Imagine people celebrating a standard road or bridge, and then organizing an opening ceremony that costs more than the infrastructure itself.

That is not just foolish; it is a symptom of a deeply broken political culture.

In a functional society, building public infrastructure is not a favor or a miracle; it is the bare minimum requirement of a tax-funded government.

When a leadership class expects a round of applause and a taxpayer-funded feast for doing their basic job, they are treating governance like a circus and the citizens like spectators.

People must stop settling for scraps and treating ordinary maintenance as an achievement.

Pan-Africanists conveniently act like Africa has a monopoly on the periodic table, which is pure ignorance.

The brutal reality is that minerals exist all over Europe, Asia, and the Gulf.

They have their own massive deposits, but more importantly, modern global industry is moving at lightning speed to find synthetic and alternative replacements for raw minerals.

While our romantic Pan-Africanists are bragging about cobalt, scientists in the West and Asia are already perfecting sodium-ion batteries to make cobalt completely obsolete.

They genuinely believe the rest of the world is losing sleep over Africa's potential, when in reality, global powers are busy automating industries, colonizing space, and designing the future.

Natural resources sitting raw in the dirt mean absolutely nothing without capital, infrastructure, high-tech engineering, and stable governance to process them.

Value is created by human intellect and processing capability, not just by having rocks in the ground.

If having raw resources made you a superpower, the Democratic Republic of Congo would be ruling the earth. Instead, resource-poor nations like Japan and South Korea dominate global markets because they focused on brains and factories rather than holes in the dirt.

If we don't build industrial processing capacity immediately, the world will invent its way past our resources, and we'll be left holding a bag of useless stones.

[Commentary - Sowell Economics @sowelleconomics]

Uganda expelled the Gujaratis in the 1970s.

They were “too wealthy” and controlled too much of the economy. They left with almost nothing.

A few years later they were prosperous in England.

Uganda’s economy collapsed.

You can seize shops and inventory. You cannot seize the knowledge that built them.

Human capital walks out the door. The buildings stay empty.

فيه نوع فقر محدش بيتكلم عنه كتير، ناس كبرت وهي ماعرفتش تعوم، ولا تركب عجلة، ولا تسافر، ولا تتعلم لغة أو تعزف آلة، مش عشان مكنش عندهم شغف، لكن عشان كل طاقتهم كانت رايحة في إنهم يخرجوا من مرحلة النجاة.

If you live in a Western society that grants equal rights under law, the honest course is to support the norms that make that society high-trust and productive. That means acknowledging that your culture of origin does not automatically generate the same outcomes… Integration is not erasure. It's the decision to adopt the practices that work. Assimilation at the level of values and behavior is the price of full participation.

Those who refuse it while enjoying the material and legal benefits are free-riding. Those who actively undermine the host society out of resentment are engaged in self-sabotage.
