Dr. Oluga: No one is talking about your mythical “health system”; we are concerned about the health of Kenyans who are/will be exposed to the lethal and untreatable EBOLA which you have decided to bring to the country through INFECTED AMERICANS.
The USA doesn’t give visas to people, including Kenyans, who have been infected by any diseases, and would certainly not allow any foreigner with EBOLA to enter the US.
Why are you treating Kenyans like you you treat lab rats?
I’ve never seen a video of a man celebrating his divorce.
Never seen a man set up ring light to announce his divorce and blame his wife.
I’ve never seen a man talk about a ‘divorce glow-up.’
I’ve never seen a man celebrate putting his own happiness above his family.
I’ve never seen a man proudly leave his marriage and family to ‘find himself.’
I rarely see men openly talk about stress related to mental load or emotional labor, especially as fathers.
I’ve never seen a man leave a relationship because his partner didn’t keep him in his ‘masculine era.’
Why is it always women? Why is it always you? Why can’t you just move on silently like the man?
The risk assessment in this "bear vs man" discourse is fundamentally broken, and watching women confidently choose the bear is peak internet delusion. Y'all will meet up with anonymous Tinder matches every weekend, leave clubs with strange men just because they drive a luxury car, go home with celebrities from backstage, and voluntarily date literal drug lords. You take massive, unchecked risks with strange men every single day. But drop you in a hypothetical forest, and suddenly a man is more dangerous than a 600lb apex predator just so you can win a gender war argument? The performative IQ is completely in the mud. Please rest.
There's a physicist at Stanford named Safi Bahcall who modeled this exact principle and the math is wild.
He calls it "phase transitions in human networks." When you're stationary, your probability of a lucky event is limited to your existing surface area: the people you already know, the places you already go, the ideas you've already been exposed to. Your opportunity window is fixed.
When you move, your collision rate with new nodes in a network increases nonlinearly. Double your movement (new conversations, new cities, new projects) and your probability of a serendipitous encounter doesn't double. It roughly quadruples. Because each new node connects you to their entire network, not just to them.
Richard Wiseman ran a 10-year study at the University of Hertfordshire tracking self-described "lucky" and "unlucky" people. The single biggest differentiator wasn't IQ, education, or family money. Lucky people scored significantly higher on one trait: openness to experience. They talked to strangers more, varied their routines more, and said yes to invitations at nearly twice the rate.
The "unlucky" group followed the same routes, ate at the same restaurants, and talked to the same 5 people. Their networks were closed loops. No new inputs, no new collisions.
Luck isn't random. Luck is surface area. And surface area is a function of movement.
The lobster emoji is doing more work than most people realize. Lobsters grow by shedding their shell when it gets too tight. The growth requires a period of total vulnerability. No protection, no armor, soft body exposed to the ocean.
That's the cost of movement nobody posts about. You have to be uncomfortable first. The new shell only hardens after you've already moved.
