@RnaudBertrand Yes it's hubris that is making americans blind, they are like a horse with blinders on. This is dangerous as they will likely make strategic mistakes in their long term planning.
@EthicalSkeptic I think the Nubian egg might be further evidence supporting your theory. Horizontal lines on the pyramids indicate that they were already without casing stones back then.
@EthicalSkeptic Yes, your theory is very interesting; the pyramids and their function themselves are very mysterious as well. I'm not buying the mainstream narrative, however, I am pointing to the possibility that those casing stones still might have been there circa 2,000 years ago.
@EthicalSkeptic Pliny the Elder Natural History, Book XXXVI, 17 "The most wonderful thing of all is that the inhabitants of the neighboring village of Busiris are able to climb to the very top of them. They do this by grasping the stone casing, which is quite smooth ... ."
@EthicalSkeptic Diodorus Siculus. Bibliotheca historica, Book I, 63.3–4 " ... yet the stones still preserve their original position and the whole structure remains uninjured... The stones are so well fitted together that the whole structure seems to be made of a single block of stone."
@MStefan92 dokładnie, nie dość że Europa przespała rewolucje EV to jeszcze pomoc publiczna dla automoto przejadła zamiast zainwestować.
A ten ostatni pomysł z Plaza Accord 2.0 to im chyba przyszedł do głowy podczas jakiegoś seansu z ouija board.
Germany's Chancellor Merz:
We can no longer accept the extraordinarily high levels of sick leave in our companies.
We are abolishing sick leave by telephone and introducing the requirement to submit a medical certificate from the very first day of illness.
We know this is a tough decision. But we can no longer afford this competitive disadvantage caused by prolonged absences from work.
🇨🇳 Everyone braced for the Iran war to crush China. It walked away the biggest winner, and some argue that was the plan all along...
Brandon Weichert flips the usual script.
Beijing, he argues, treated this war as a stress test, a proof of concept, to see whether it could ride out a real crisis with Washington. It could.
While the U.S. now sits exposed and waiting for the bottom to fall out, China quietly pulled itself off the global oil market for two months and leaned on the reserves it spent years stockpiling.
The country that was supposed to be most vulnerable turned out to be the most insulated.
And the war, in his telling, supercharged the very thing that makes China hard to corner: scale.
Solar, batteries, EVs, hydro, nuclear, even a fusion program he says outpaces the West.
The crisis became a sales pitch for Chinese energy and a billboard for the narrative Beijing has pushed for years, that America destabilizes and China endures.
What gives his read teeth is the restraint underneath it. He doesn't see China lunging for the wheel.
A four-thousand-year-old instinct, he says, makes Beijing crave calm on its borders, so it would rather let the world drift into its orbit than seize it.
"Do nothing and still win," as the meme goes.
The one place that calm could shatter, in his view, isn't Taiwan. It's Japan.
@WeTheBrandon
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.
Turkey has unveiled AKINCI-5, its first industrial humanoid robot🇹🇷🤖
Evolving from earlier prototypes like AKINCI-2 and AKINCI-P through years of iteration, it focuses on AI-supported walking, balance, and interaction, and is currently in testing and demonstration.
Built by AKINROBOTICS under prominent Turkish software company AKINSOFT, the robot targets demanding environments such as factories, manufacturing, warehouses, and mining.
Previously, AKIN introduced the ADA series of wheeled humanoids for service roles in retail, healthcare, and customer assistance. (like the Ada-7)
As early as 2017, the company built what was then the world’s first humanoid robot factory in Konya Province, covering the full spectrum from parts to complete robot R&D and assembly.
However, the long-term value derived from integrating hardware and software around business operations is immeasurable.
