Linux is 35 years old, and a huge part of the digital world still quietly runs on it.
Servers, routers, Android devices, cloud infrastructure, cars, industrial systems.
A large part of crypto infrastructure too: Bitcoin nodes, Ethereum clients, Solana validators, RPCs, exchange backends and countless tools are commonly run on Linux.
That is interesting because Linux grew almost completely differently from modern crypto.
Linus Torvalds published the kernel, put it under an open-source licence, and people simply started using it, improving it and building on top of it.
No token. No presale. No KOL campaign. No artificial “community”. No valuation before product-market fit.
It became important because it was useful.
Crypto often does the reverse.
Launch the token first, create liquidity, assign a billion-dollar valuation, pay people to talk about it, and then spend the next 2 years trying to prove there was a reason for the thing to exist.
Linux is a reminder that open infrastructure does not need constant financial theatre to become globally important.
And maybe that is the part crypto should think about more.
The best infrastructure eventually becomes boring. People stop talking about it because it simply works.
Linux got there.
Most of crypto is still trying to pump its way there.
Banken-Insider: Die Banken wollen Kriege. Sie finanzieren beide Seiten. +++ Der Welt-Geld-Betrug im deutschen Bundestag!
Top-Ökonom und Banken-Insider Prof. Dr. Richard Werner deckt den uralten Betrug auf. Der Journalist @reitschuster fragte: „Meine Oma sagte immer, Geld wird aus dem Nichts geschöpft. Die drucken Geld. Stimmt das?“ @ProfessorWerner antwortet:
Der Banker schöpft Geld aus dem Nichts.
Der beste Kredit-Kunde für den Banker ist der Staat, oder früher der Fürst oder König.
Aber es gab immer Könige, die wollten keinen Kredit. Sie wirtschaften sparsam.
Wie kann man dafür sorgen, dass sie dennoch viel Geld ausgeben und Kredit nehmen? — Man kann ja im Nachbarland zündeln und Streit schüren. Der Banker finanziert beide Seiten und man zettelt einen Krieg an.
Dabei wird sehr viel Geld verdient.
Dabei sterben sehr viele Menschen.
Aber es sind böse Leute, denen das egal ist.
Das sagte Prof. Richard Werner im deutschen Bundestag am zurückliegenden Samstag, den 12.09.2026. Ich saß neben ihm, habe das Video aufgezeichnet mit meinem Handy.
Das Video der Veranstaltung sollte von der AfD längst veröffentlicht sein. Ist es aber nicht. Ich hoffe das Video wird nicht bewusst zurückgehalten. Aber ich weiß natürlich, dass das, was Prof. Werner im Bundestag gesagt hat (auch über die Geldschöpfung an sich, die Finanzmarktaufsicht und den allgegenwärtigen Betrug) die Grundfesten erschüttert.
Glücklicherweise habe ich mit Prof. Werner ein Interview für https://t.co/y0hS0gd5Bo aufgenommen. Er rechnet hier gnadenlos mit der EU-Diktatur und der CIA kontrollierten BRD ab. Dieses Interview wird zensurfrei erscheinen.
oregano oil killed every single bacterial strain it was tested against in a Georgetown University study including strains that were resistant to pharmaceutical antibiotics. every strain. zero survivors
that sentence should have made international headlines. a plant extract outperforming prescription antibiotics against resistant bacteria is the kind of finding that changes medicine. it didn't make headlines because a $12 bottle of oregano oil can't fund a pharmaceutical marketing campaign
the mechanism is carvacrol and thymol. two compounds that destroy bacterial cell membranes on contact. the bacteria cannot develop resistance to this mechanism because the compounds attack the physical structure of the cell rather than a specific metabolic pathway. antibiotics target pathways. bacteria evolve around pathways. oregano oil targets the wall itself. you can't evolve around having your wall destroyed
• killed staphylococcus aureus, E. coli, and pseudomonas aeruginosa in laboratory conditions at concentrations achievable through oral supplementation
• eliminated H. pylori (the bacteria behind most stomach ulcers) in clinical use when pharmaceutical triple therapy failed. a backup treatment that outperformed the first line
• antifungal activity against candida albicans comparable to nystatin (a prescription antifungal) in direct comparison studies
• antiviral properties demonstrated against norovirus and herpes simplex virus in laboratory settings. one compound active against bacteria, fungi, AND viruses simultaneously
• reduces SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) symptoms as effectively as rifaximin ($1,500 per course) in a Johns Hopkins affiliated study. a $12 oil matching a $1,500 antibiotic
• the antibacterial mechanism does not destroy beneficial gut bacteria at normal supplemental doses because the beneficial strains have naturally thicker cell walls. the selective toxicity is built into the chemistry
the pharmaceutical industry generates $46 billion annually from antibiotics. a $12 bottle of oregano oil matching or exceeding multiple prescription antibiotics in laboratory and clinical settings is an existential threat to that revenue. the research exists. the FDA classification prevents health claims. the gap between what the science shows and what the label is allowed to say is where the profit is protected
2 to 4 drops of emulsified oregano oil in water 2 to 3 times daily for acute infections (limit to 2 weeks max). for maintenance: 1 drop daily or every other day. must be emulsified or enteric coated to prevent esophageal irritation. north american herb and spice (Oreganol P73) is the most researched brand. $18 for 2 months
a plant that has been used as medicine for 4,000 years killed every antibiotic resistant strain thrown at it in a Georgetown University laboratory. the pharmaceutical industry responded by making sure you never heard about the study.
Five years ago, everyone was telling me to invest in crypto. Bitcoin was around $46,000. Today it’s around $79,000.
Instead, I invested most of my money in a couple of hectares of land.
Land can’t get hacked. It generally holds value, and most importantly, if you use it properly, it creates value.
Since then, I’ve planted more than 80 fruit trees producing fruits worth $10,000 per year… for decades. I grow my own food, raise my own chickens, generate my own electricity, collect my own water, and produce my own firewood.
If shit ever really hits the fan, those things can feed and sustain my family. Crypto usually can’t.
This isn’t an anti-crypto post. I own some crypto myself because I believe in diversification.
But there’s something deeply satisfying about owning land and turning sunlight, soil, water, and your own work into food and energy.
And for me, that’s a hell of a lot better for the soul than checking a screen every five minutes to see whether the chart is red or green.
This is Leonard Susskind. He started working as a plumber, enrolled in college as an engineering student, and eventually became a leading theoretical physicist.
He later became one of the strongest advocates for the idea that information is not lost in black holes, challenging Stephen Hawking’s position in the famous black-hole information debate. His work played an important role in Hawking eventually changing his view.
In many animal societies, females do hold leadership roles.
While often misrepresented as male-dominated, lion prides function as matriarchies. The females form the permanent core of the pride, do the hunting, and teach cubs how to stalk and hunt prey, while males typically leave the pride upon reaching maturity to avoid inbreeding.
These female-led (matriarchal) societies rely heavily on observational learning and shared wisdom rather than sheer physical dominance.
While there have been notable matriarchal and matrilineal societies in history (such as the Iroquois Confederacy in North America, the Minangkabau in Indonesia, The Akan (Ghana and Ivory Coast), The Kongo (Central Africa), The Tuareg (North Africa), The Chewa (Malawi, Zambia, Mozambique), and the Mosuo in China; these cultures are cooperative and egalitarian rather than globally dominating.
Throughout recorded history, human civilisation has predominantly favoured patriarchal structures. Evolutionary research shows that both parents teach, but they teach very differently.
Fathers often teach through play, which builds risk assessment and physical confidence, while mothers, who remain closer to infants for prolonged periods, are more likely to teach vital survival, emotional, and social dispositions. “It takes a whole village to raise a child” is a timeless proverb emphasising that raising happy, healthy, and resilient children requires the shared responsibility, support, and active engagement of an entire community.
The erosion of community in the Western world is a widely recognised phenomenon. It stems from the shift toward hyper-individualism, the rise of digital isolation, and an economic model that prioritises mobility and mass consumption over localised, enduring social ties.
Children benefit from diverse role models, including extended family, teachers, coaches, and neighbors, which exposes them to varied perspectives and skills.
“I decided to cure her myself.”
In this 1978 interview, María Sabina recalls the night she healed her sister using “Holy Children,” the sacred psilocybin mushrooms that grow in the mountains of Oaxaca, Mexico.
Born in the Mazatec village of Huautla de Jiménez in 1894, Sabina became one of her community’s most respected “sabias,” a knowledge keeper or sage. She led ‘veladas,’ nighttime ceremonies invoking the mushrooms for divine guidance and healing.
For Sabina, psilocybin mushrooms were living, spiritual beings.
Calling them “Holy Children” wasn’t a metaphor. She believed they possessed consciousness, spoke through visions, and allowed people to communicate directly with the divine.
If you’d like to learn more about María Sabina and the history of psilocybin mushrooms, Paul Stamets’ “Psilocybin Mushrooms in Their Natural Habitats” is an excellent place to start.

When you finally arrive in China for the first time, from the West, you will experience two distinct sets of feelings.
One, you will realize China is astoundingly modern, clean efficient, and infrastructure is beyond compare, alongside the fact that Chinese people are kind.
But also, you will understand how Western legacy media has decieved you, either by design or lack of insight. And you will further lose trust in the ability of Western media to tell you the truth about China, and possibly, the world in general.
Yann Lecun published the most heretical AI paper of the year.
He opens by arguing Magnus Carlsen isn't good at chess and only gets more unhinged from there.
The Turing Award winner and his co-authors dropped a paper demanding the AI industry abandon its biggest obsession, AGI.
Right now, everyone from Silicon Valley CEOs to politicians assumes AGI is the ultimate goal. A machine that can do everything a human can do.
LeCun argues that this entire concept is a biological illusion.
Humans do not possess "general" intelligence. We are highly specialized biological machines, tuned by evolution simply to survive in the physical world.
We only think our intelligence is "general" because we are completely blind to the millions of cognitive tasks we are incapable of comprehending.
Which brings us to the chess argument.
Magnus Carlsen is the greatest human chess player in history. But compared to a modern computer? He is fundamentally terrible.
Our belief that Carlsen is "good" at chess is pure human-centric bias. He isn't objectively good. He's just better than the rest of us, who are biologically awful at it.
LeCun says we need to stop building AI to mimic human generality.
Instead, he proposes a new North Star: SAI.
Superhuman Adaptable Intelligence.
Instead of trying to build a machine that mimics our flawed, biologically-limited brains, we need to embrace extreme specialization.
SAI is about the speed of adaptation.
It is an intelligence that can learn to exceed humans at any specific, economically important task.
More importantly, it is designed to fill the vast skill gaps where humans are fundamentally incapable.
Things like managing global energy grids in real-time. Or predicting complex molecular structures.
The entire AI industry is obsessed with building a digital reflection in our own image.
LeCun's paper is a brutal wake-up call.
Just how anybody could look at the spring flowering trees and grasses, the abundant wild flowers and hear the exuberant birdsong and think let’s build all over it, is completely beyond my comprehension. #saveourcountryside
