🇺🇦🇺🇸 An American mercenary in Kiev was scammed by a pensioner who promised to create laser weapons for him. For the "innovative development" the naive foreigner paid $85,000, the Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine reported.
A 74-year-old Kiev resident acted together with his 59-year-old accomplice. They assured the mercenary that they were weapons developers and could create a "laser device to destroy enemy drones and missiles."
To leave no doubt for the American, the scammers showed him the "operation" of the installation — a device that supposedly burned a drone's wing from several meters away. The demonstration seemed convincing, and the fraudsters became millionaires in hryvnias. Later, it predictably turned out that the technology was a fake.
It is noted that the victim is a US citizen, a volunteer, and the founder of a training school for Ukrainian armed forces personnel. He has already been compensated $20,000.

A very well-thought-out answer to the titular question:
https://open.substack.com/pub/authenticmasculinity/p/why-masculinity-matters?r=lp6h7&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false
"Imagine a bird that doesn’t know how to fly or a fish that can’t swim. A creature that doesn’t know how to exist according to its nature would quickly die. The same goes for a man who doesn’t know how to exist as a man.
"Masculinity isn’t just about building muscle, driving a truck, being aggressive, stoic, or a leader. It’s something far more fundamental and crucial for life. It’s your psychological connection with your physical nature.
"Not only is masculinity required for your psychological health, but the actual nature of being a man (both physically and psychologically) is needed for human survival. We’re constantly told today that “women don’t need men,” that “we’ve gotten to the point in civilization where women can live without a man.” This is not only profoundly untrue, but profoundly ungrateful."

"Physics has long insisted that electromagnetism springs from one paradoxical entity, a photon which somehow simultaneously combines the mutually contradictory properties of non-localized wave and localized particle. My research reveals a simpler truth: two distinct actors share the stage, first fields that move as a wave, the other an energy flow that traces definite paths and appears as particles at the smallest scales. My Fields & Energy model follows from an understanding of electromagnetic theory, yet looks suspiciously like the long neglected pilot-wave interpretation of quantum mechanics. Fields guide energy."

Barsoom's top wordsmith, Dr. John Carter, interviews me about Fields & Energy and the state of modern physics.
https://open.substack.com/pub/barsoom/p/fields-and-energy?r=lp6h7&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false
Can you provide an extremely brief, non-technical, high-level summary of Fields & Energy for the benefit of readers who might not have the background to follow discussions that get down into the weeds of the intersection between mathematical physics, experimental physics, and the historical development of science? What should their main takeaway be?
"Physics has long insisted that electromagnetism springs from one paradoxical entity, a photon which somehow simultaneously combines the mutually contradictory properties of non-localized wave and localized particle. My research reveals a simpler truth: two distinct actors share the stage, first fields that move as a wave, the other an energy flow that traces definite paths and appears as particles at the smallest scales. My Fields & Energy model follows from an understanding of electromagnetic theory, yet looks suspiciously like the long neglected pilot-wave interpretation of quantum mechanics. Fields guide energy.
"The takeaway is that electromagnetism isn’t just a magic black box where things happen and we can only hope to “shut up and calculate” with tedious formulas. Instead, there’s a deep, rich, and intuitive understanding possible.
"Electromagnetism is not just math to muddle through, but rather a mindset to master."
