The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.
The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start.
Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.
If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.
@Crypt0_Facts@alimahtoxic So we were as retarded as you before the agricultural revolution? Nah, I doubt that. I mean, I'm sure one or two people with your level of idiocy existed, but the overwhelming majority would have been smart enough to understand that sex led to kids
@Crypt0_Facts@alimahtoxic So we discovered agriculture, built tools, mapped out deserts but never realised that sex led to babies? Do you genuinely think that all humans are as retarded as you?
I’ve spent the past couple of weeks building Looters: a public archive of Nigerian political corruption since the 1990s.
Governors, ministers, shell companies, Swiss accounts, the Jersey trusts, — one searchable graph.
You too can connect the dots: https://t.co/faIfzWfAIp
Nigeria just set 150/400 as the minimum university admission score. That's 37.5%.
Polytechnics? 100/400. A pass mark of 25%.
This is how nations fail.
Meanwhile:
🇨🇳 China — 10 million students compete annually in the Gaokao. One exam. Brutal. No mercy. You either earn your place or you don't.
🇰🇷 South Korea — the Suneung is so serious that military drills stop, flights are rerouted, and the entire country goes quiet on exam day. 31% of students retake it to improve.
🇯🇵 Japan — entrance exams are so rigorous that students spend years in preparation school (ronin) just to qualify.
Oxford and Harvard don't lower the bar so more people can get in. They raise the bar so the best are forced to rise.
Nigeria has over 200 million people, the talent exists, but when you tell a generation that 37.5% is enough, you get garbage in, garbage out — at every level of public life.
The crisis in Nigeria isn't just political. It starts here.

@PreciousOrla Omo wtf is this post? Why are you being condescending? You do realize that there are people who didn't even go to uni and earn way more than that? If you're being this proud over 200k, then I can only pity you, because it means you have lived half your life in abject poverty
@officialladi_T What are you saying? There's no tech skill AI can replace lmao. It just makes the competition tougher. A junior data scientist for example can be far more industrious than a senior simply because he has a premium Claude subscription. AI is a tool
Pastor Adeboye: “God is omnipotent.”
Kelvin: “That might not be coherent.”
Pastor Adeboye: “Why not?”
Kelvin: “Because if omnipotence means the ability to do all things, then it seems to include contradictions.”
Pastor Adeboye: “What kind of contradictions?”
Kelvin: “well, Like whether God can create a rock so heavy that He cannot lift it.”
Pastor Adeboye: “don’t be silly,That’s a misunderstanding. God can only do what is logically possible.”
Kelvin: “So omnipotence doesn’t mean ability to do ‘all things,’ but ‘all logically possible things’?”
Pastor Adeboye: “Yes, that’s the correct understanding.”
Kelvin: “hmm. Is it logically possible to lie?”
Pastor Adeboye: “Yes, of course.”
Kelvin: “Then God should be able to lie, since it’s logically possible.”
Pastor Adeboye: “No, God cannot lie. It’s against His nature.”
Kelvin: “So now omnipotence means ‘all logically possible things consistent with God’s nature’?”
Pastor Adeboye: “Exactly.”
Kelvin: “But doesn’t that shift the definition again to avoid the paradox?”
Pastor Adeboye: “No, it clarifies it.”
Kelvin: “so His power is determined by His nature.”
Pastor Adeboye: “Not determined…expressed through His nature.”
Kelvin: “But if His nature sets the boundary of what he can do, then omnipotence just means ‘doing whatever your nature allows.’”
Pastor Adeboye: “It means He is perfectly powerful.”
Kelvin: “But that sounds circular. God is omnipotent because He can do what His nature allows, and His nature is defined so He remains omnipotent.”
Pastor Adeboye: “You’re trying to reduce God to human logic.”
Kelvin: “I’m trying to see if the concept is coherent.”
Pastor Adeboye: “It is coherent within divine understanding.”
Kelvin: “But if omnipotence just means ‘can do whatever is consistent with one’s nature,’ then that applies to everyone… everyone would be by that definition ,omnipotent.”
Pastor Adeboye: “What do you mean?”
Kelvin: “I can do absolutely everything that is logically possible given my nature…I can walk, think, speak, but not fly or lift mountains.”
Pastor Adeboye: “That’s just being human.”
Kelvin: “Exactly!. But by your definition, that would also make me omnipotent too…since I can do all things consistent with my nature.”
Pastor Adeboye: “That’s clearly not the same thing.”
Kelvin: “Then your definition fails to distinguish God from everyone else. It either collapses into contradiction, or into a trivial tautology where everyone counts as omnipotent.”
Pastor Adeboye: “You’re overcomplicating a divine mystery.”
Kelvin: “Or the concept keeps being adjusted to avoid contradictions rather than resolve them…. So far you’ve failed to provide a definition of omnipotence that works”
Pastor Adeboye: “Faith is not built on these arguments.”
Kelvin: “But claims about God’s nature are.”
Pastor Adeboye: “Me and my church will be praying for you 😒”
There are just so many strange and unusual things in this world…remember reading about a tribe in the Dominican Republic where children are born appearing female with female anatomy and genitalia …only to develop penis when they are around the age of 12.
The people became known to outsiders as “Guevedoces,” a local term meaning roughly “penis at twelve.” What actually happens is a rare inherited biological condition called 5-alpha-reductase deficiency. These children are usually genetically male (with XY chromosomes), but before birth their bodies cannot properly convert testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the hormone that normally drives the formation of male external genitalia in the womb. Because of this, they are born with female-appearing or ambiguous genital anatomy and are often assumed to be girls in infancy.
They wear Female clothings and are assumed to be female.
But then When puberty begins, something crazy happens, testosterone levels rise sharply, and the body start to masculinize despite the earlier lack of DHT. A deeper voice, increased muscle growth, and enlargement of genital tissue occur… like the https://t.co/MM6EfxbKAk literally emerges, leading many to transition socially into male roles during adolescence… they stop wearing female clothings…start hanging out with males more etc .
The reason why the condition became unusually common in certain isolated communities of the Dominican Republic is because of a founder effect… when a rare genetic mutation exists in a small, relatively closed population, intermarriage over generations can make it appear far more prevalent than in the wider world. Culturally, local communities became familiar with the phenomenon long before scientists studied it, so it was often treated as an understood part of life rather than an anomaly.
Still, it’s incredibly fascinating.
I saw a video where Neil deGrasse Tyson narrated how racist 19th century anthropologists set up human racial hierarchies with white males at the top of the evolutionary ladder and Blacks and other non whites lower down, still evolving and closer to the apes.
He explained that back then, calling someone a Neanderthal was a straight up insult because Neanderthals were seen as brutish and primitive. But then in the 1990s, once genetic testing became possible, scientists discovered that Europeans carry 1 to 3% Neanderthal DNA while Africans have 0%. Suddenly, research papers started coming out praising how creative, imaginative, and skilled with tools the Neanderthals must have been.
Tyson pointed out it was a complete u-turn of the Neanderthal image that began right around the time they learned this genetic information.
Interesting example on how bias can shape science… and this is true mostly in anthropological research…
Pascal’s Wager ignores one big problem and that's what if it’s the wrong god?
Humans have worshipped thousands of gods…
And even if YHWH is real, there are 45,000+ versions of Christianity, 20,000+ sects in Islam, and countless divisions in Judaism all claiming they’re the only correct one…
So which safe bet are you actually choosing???
That leaves you with just two options:
1) Worship all gods to cover your bases, and hope that doesn’t anger the real one(s)…
2) Take your chances and not worship any gods to avoid the greater offense of worshipping the wrong one the wrong way, and trust that they will be satisfied by the way you conducted yourself in life...
To quote Marcus Aurelius:
Live a good life...
If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by...
If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them...
If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones...
Aurelius beats Pascal 100%…
Their god gets credit for everything except cancer. However imagine a 10,000-floor building floating in empty space.
9,999 floors will kill you instantly , fire, poison gas, freezing cold, radiation, no air. Total death traps.
But on one random floor, there’s a dirty toilet with just enough water and scraps for bacteria to survive. So they grow there, adapt there, and start saying:
“This toilet is perfectly made for us!
The chances of this happening are impossible!
The Great Builder made this whole building just for our toilet kingdom because he loves us!”
That’s the fine-tuning argument, the law of nature works right, made for us, hell no.
We’re the bacteria. Earth is the toilet. The rest of the universe is mostly empty, deadly, and useless for life.
Yet people look at one tiny spot where life managed to survive and say the whole universe was designed for them.
No, life adapted to the one messy corner where it could exist.
That’s why people laugh at the argument. Stay mad.
