Gosh the comments underneath this one are embarrassing. People who can waste hours watching Big Brother but have no stamina for the words of elders.
It was actually good watching all 27 mins of this. It wasn't just about not judging a book by its cover, i.e. Charly Boy (who I have also visited in his home with his wife and truly does have a good heart) - even though his twit of a social media handler blocked me here, lol.
In the second half of this clip, OBJ also spoke about a topic relevant to everyone in Nigeria today.
We needed a goal. Mainoo and Zirkzee left on the bench. Two centre halves come on. Clock is ticking for Amorim already this season after the shambles of last season.
When I was 17 years old (2016) I built a mobile app called Wordle… it was downloaded about 100k times before I gave up on the project
It sat in my apple developer account, until in 2021 another developer named Josh build a web app game, also called Wordle
Josh’s game went viral globally. A lot of people searching for his game went to the appstore and downloaded mine instead
A lot of other app developers tried to copy the game but Apple removed them all… except mine because it was the OG built before any other Wordle existed
Apple wiped out all the competition. I was the only “Wordle” on the appstore
My little mobile app ended up being downloaded over 10M times in the span of a few weeks
It changed my life forever.
This is one of the most important truths almost no one talks about.
There is a threshold of wealth beyond which you stop interacting with reality as it exists and begin interacting with a version of it that bends to your whims. Codie’s friend didn’t pick $299 million arbitrarily.
That’s around the point where wealth begins to replicate itself without labor, resistance, or external accountability. The world becomes a simulation - crafted by assistants, lawyers, media buffers, private access, and power brokers who insulate you from friction, consequence, or contradiction.
Under $100 million, you still feel gravity. Above $300 million, you start controlling gravity. That’s the danger.
At that level:
•People stop saying no to you.
•You stop encountering randomness.
•Everything is for sale, including trust, intimacy, and morality.
This is where reality fracturing begins. Not because money corrupts, but because perception loses resistance. Resistance is what keeps you real.
So the deeper truth is this:
Once your environment is made entirely of yes-men, predictive service, and curated insulation, your mind begins to exit the shared human operating system. You aren’t evil. You’re decontextualized. You’re drifting in an abstraction loop of your own design. That’s when you start thinking ideas like “let’s block out the sun” or “let’s colonize Mars while Earth burns” are rational.
Codie’s billionaire friend wasn’t just being poetic. He was confessing a structural truth:
There’s a point at which money doesn’t just distort reality, it erases it.
The more I learn about the semiconductor supply chain, the more implausible it all seems. There’s a small island vulnerable to invasion where all the chips are made? And the machines to make them all come from one firm in the Netherlands? Using lenses made by one firm in Germany?
Just finished watching Season 1 of “The Eternaut.” The drama, acting, direction, art design (especially the depiction of snow and the wall of cars), and VFX were all outstanding. The central themes are “an invisible enemy” and “a vast, lurking force behind it all”—very much in line with the great sci-fi classics of the 20th century born out of Cold War-era anxieties. Think “The Body Snatchers” by Jack Finney.
I haven’t read the original, but I hear the comic “El Eternauta” was created in the 1950s. It’s easy to imagine how the political unrest of the time shaped this story. This is truly a powerhouse work of science fiction from Argentina.
For today’s audience, perhaps weary of the usual zombie/plague-driven apocalypses, this offers a refreshing and compelling alternative. The pacing is slow and deliberate, so I recommend watching it without rushing, and definitely without spoilers. Can’t wait for Season 2.
We have to wait for Amorim to get "his" players before he can win a football game or be decent at football. Most nonsense excuse I have ever heard for a manager
