Nobel winner John Clauser proved that physical objects do not exist in a definite state when unobserved.
This quantum rule suggests that our solid environment is just a simulated projection.
It has been a great honor to serve the Ukrainian people as the Minister of Defense.
Here is what our team managed to achieve:
1. Disabled Starlink access for Russian forces.
2. Took over a Ministry of Defense with zero budget, took a risk, reallocated funds from payroll from the end of the year, and effectively invested them in mid-strike capabilities, fiber-optic FPVs, low-cost reconnaissance, ground robotic platforms, interceptor drones, and deep-strike drones.
3. Launched "Logistical Lockdown", this cut off enemy logistics and initiated the isolation of Crimea.
4. Continued the funding program for the Drone Line.
5. Launched a support program for modern drone-assault units that rely primarily on advanced technologies in combat.
6. Introduced a 70% advance payment policy for procurements made via e-Points on the Brave1 Market portal.
7. Fundamentally overhauled the procurement system.
8. Procured thousands of pickup trucks, buggies, and ATVs for the military for the first time—and did so through open tenders.
9. The drone interception rate rose from 83% to 91%, and the cruise missile interception rate soared from 47% to 87%.
10. Contracted Patriot PAC-2 GEM-T missiles for the first time, and submitted an application through an EU loan to purchase PAC-3 missiles.
11. Launched a baseline drone supply system for brigades and corps.
12. Launched a massive grant program for manufacturers of explosives and missiles.
13. Initiated an unpopular but vital transformation of the military.
14. Conducted three UDCG meetings, where we successfully broke through the Russian information trap claiming our defeat, restoring partners' faith in Ukraine. This secured $40 billion in support announced for this year (excluding the EU loan).
15. Launched the mechanism to utilize the EU loan for our military priorities.
16. Found a way to scale cheap missiles against jet-powered Shaheds and signed a record-breaking contract.
17. Our domestic ballistics. We radically revised the technical specifications, maximized accuracy, and reduced the cost by 30%.
18. Signed a contract to procure Gripen fighter jets.
19. Collaborated with the military to plan and execute Operation Auchan, which halted the enemy's mechanized offensive for six months.
20. Opened up exports under the Drone Deal program to attract investment and scale up domestic defense-industrial complex (OPK) production.
21. Launched the Trophy Lab, providing partners with the opportunity to study captured Russian military technologies.
22. Launched the Defense AI Center A1 to accelerate the integration of artificial intelligence on the battlefield.
Thank you to my entire team for their relentless 24/7 service. A special thank you to my family for their patience.
Thank you all for your support!
I will continue to work toward the mission I originally brought to the Ministry of Defense: defeating the enemy through asymmetry, the speed of innovation, and the power of organization.
To be continued.
A Stanford researcher put people on a treadmill facing a blank white wall in a small windowless room, gave them a creativity test, and watched their ability to generate new ideas jump by 60% for no reason anyone in the field could explain at the time.
The researcher is Marily Oppezzo. Her advisor at Stanford was Daniel Schwartz.
In 2014, they published one of the strangest papers ever released by the Stanford Graduate School of Education.
The question they wanted to answer sounded almost silly.
Every writer, philosopher, and executive in history has claimed they do their best thinking on foot.
Nietzsche said all truly great thoughts are conceived while walking. Steve Jobs held his important meetings on walks. Zuckerberg does the same. But nobody had ever put the claim in a lab and stripped it down to see what was actually going on.
So Oppezzo built the ugliest possible test.
She got a treadmill. Put it in a small room. Faced it toward a blank white wall. No windows. No art. Nothing to look at. If walking made you creative because of scenery, this room was going to kill the effect.
Then she brought participants in and gave them a divergent thinking test.
They got a normal object like a button, a tire, a brick, and they had 4 minutes to come up with as many creative uses for it as possible. A tire could be a swing. A tire could be a planter. A tire could be a sculpture. The weirder the answer, the better, as long as it actually worked.
Each participant did the test twice.
Once sitting.
Once walking on the treadmill facing the wall.
The numbers came in and Oppezzo said in interviews later that she almost did not believe them.
81% of participants got more creative the moment they started walking. On average, creative output jumped 60%. People were producing twice as many usable ideas while walking on a treadmill in a boring room as they were producing at a desk.
She kept expecting the outdoor version of the experiment to blow the treadmill version away. Fresh air. Trees. Sunlight. Something. She ran it. It came out almost the same. The treadmill in the empty room did nearly as well as walking through a park.
The scenery was not doing the work. The walking was.
The mechanism she landed on is the interesting part.
Sitting keeps the brain in a controlled, narrow mode. It is good for one type of thinking, the kind where you have a specific problem and need a specific answer. Convergent thinking. The math problem. The debug. The decision between two options.
Walking does the opposite. It gently loads the body with a repetitive rhythm that requires almost no conscious attention, and the brain, freed from having to sit still and focus, starts wandering. It makes loose associations. It pulls unrelated ideas together. It generates instead of narrows.
The paper called this divergent thinking. It is the raw creative act. The place ideas come from before they get polished. And walking, for reasons neuroscience is still trying to fully explain, turns the dial up on it.
The finding that most people miss is what happened next.
Participants who walked and then sat back down at a desk kept producing creative ideas for a while after the walk.
The boost did not evaporate the moment they stopped moving. It lingered. Which means every writer and executive who takes a walk before sitting down to think was not just enjoying the walk.
They were priming the mode of thinking they needed for the next hour of work.
Steve Jobs was not being eccentric. He had accidentally discovered a hack the human brain has been waiting for someone to notice.
You do not need a forest. You do not need a mountain trail. You do not need a beautiful window. A boring room and a treadmill will get you almost all the way there.
The next time you feel stuck at a desk, the answer is not to sit harder.
Get up.
WHAT THE F*CK ARE YOU AFRAID OF
- Death : We’re all gonna die.
- Bankruptcy : You can make it all back.
- Shame : Everyone will forget in a week.
- Rejection : It happens to everyone.
- Failure : It’s part of the path.
- Judgment : They’ll judge anyway.
- Losing people : Not all are meant to stay.
- Making mistakes : You’ll survive them.
- Taking risks : Regret hurts more.
Live every day like it's your last day.
JUST IN🚨: Physicists Mathematically Proved That the Universe Is Ultimately Not a Simulation.
This discovery questions the simulation hypothesis and reveals that the foundations of the universe exist beyond any algorithmic system.
A new study from UBC Okanagan mathematically demonstrates that the universe cannot be simulated.
Using Gödel's incompleteness theorem, scientists have found that reality requires an "algorithmically non-computable understanding," which no computation can replicate.
The most socially acceptable way to destroy your life:
Overthink everything.
Act on nothing.
Your mind calls it “figuring things out.”
Here are Eckhart Tolle’s 7 steps to break the loop: 👇
1. Recognize that there’s a voice in your head that never shuts up.
SAVE THIS WATER REMEDY. YOU MAY NEED THIS LATER!!!

Un uomo russo è in fila alla stazione di servizio. "Ne ho abbastanza", dice alla moglie. "Prendi tu il volante, io vado a sparare a Putin".
Dopo due ore torna e si rimette al volante.
La moglie gli chiede "Gli hai sparato?"
E lui risponde "No, la fila per sparare a Putin è più lunga di questa!".
The Fibonacci sequence (0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13…) isn’t just math — it’s a universal pattern. As it grows, ratios of terms approach the Golden Ratio (Φ ≈1.618), a harmony found in spirals, plants, shells, galaxies & even DNA.

Trump: Would you go to Moscow?
Zelensky: It's difficult. There are a lot of Ukrainian drones there. It's dangerous
Absolute banger, it's legendary to be speaking with former BEST Ukrainian commedian 🤣🤣🤣
Keep an eye out for vibrant lilies as they bloom across Canada in July! Two species of #lily native to Canada can be spotted in the wild, and many more are found across the country’s gardens. Share your blooming flower bed pictures below! 💐⬇️
Fun fact.
July 8, today, turns out to be the day that most people around the planet experience daylight at the same time.
This means, 99% of Earth's 8 billion residents will be on the sunlit side of Earth at the same time.
Children adapt to their environments and resist labeling abuse for what it is, instead dissociating and choosing to blame themselves, rather than the parent. The parent must be retained as trustworthy, as the alternative is too painful to bear.
The incomparable Dr Judith Herman explains 👇
A French teenager wrote the math that now guards your bank account, and he wrote most of it in the hours before a gunfight he knew he would lose.
His work is called finite field theory. He built it before he turned 20.
Évariste Galois was born near Paris in 1811, into a country that was tearing itself apart.
He failed the entrance exam to the best engineering school in France, twice, partly because the examiner could not follow how his mind jumped ten steps ahead.
He got kicked out of another school for insulting the director in a newspaper. He was arrested for his politics. He drank for the first time in a prison cell.
He was 20 years old and almost nobody in mathematics took him seriously. The most famous mathematician in France read his work and called it incomprehensible.
Then he fell for a woman named Stéphanie, and it pulled him into a duel.
The night of May 29, 1832, he did not sleep. He sat down and started organizing everything he had figured out into a long letter to his friend Auguste Chevalier, terrified it would all die with him in the morning.
Next to one theorem, where the proof was not finished, he scrawled four words in the margin: "I have no time."
At dawn he walked to a field, stood in front of a pistol, and got shot in the stomach.
His opponent left him there. A farmer found him hours later. He died the next morning at ten o'clock. His last words were to his younger brother. Don't cry. I need all my courage to die at twenty.
His papers sat in a drawer for over a decade before anyone understood them.
Here is what he had actually done. Galois found a way to build tiny number systems that only contain a fixed handful of numbers, where you can still add, subtract, multiply, and divide without ever running off the edge.
Everything wraps around and stays inside. These are now called Galois fields.
That sounds like a toy. It is the exact structure your bank runs on.
Every time you tap your card, the encryption that scrambles your money into gibberish is doing arithmetic inside one of these fields. The standard is called AES, and it lives inside a Galois field of exactly 256 elements.
The system protecting billions of dollars a day is built on a shape a heartbroken 20-year-old sketched out while racing the sunrise.
He never saw a bank. He never saw a computer. He wrote the math and then went to die.
I thought arterial plaque was permanent.
Then I found a study where 66.5% of patients reversed it using ONE supplement in 12 months.
