TIL that ancient philosopher Socrates was AGAINST writing, as it would make our minds "lazy". But the only reason we know it is because Plato wrote it down.

"Dragons were considered the largest serpents, growing by devouring others of their kind.
"In Ethiopia, they could reach thirty yards long, earning the name “Elephant-killers” for their strength and longevity.
"Other accounts describe Indian dragons nurtured for the eyes of Alexander the Great, including specimens of forty and eighty cubits in length, whose fearsome reputation prevented closer inspection.
"Chroniclers recount a dragon inhabiting a valley near Mount Pelion, whose hiss alone terrorised the locals.
"Its true size was only revealed after a violent storm felled the surrounding forest, inadvertently killing the beast and exposing its enormous bones.
"Alexander’s campaigns in India also describe dragons treated as sacred, terrifying his army with their sheer presence.
"Across India, Africa, and the Mediterranean, dragons were reported in a variety of sizes and forms, from temple guardians to colossal creatures in the wild, each account reinforcing their enduring reputation as the greatest of serpents."

TIL that Hindi and Urdu, official languages of India and Pakistan respectively, are actually two registers of the same language, known as Hindustani. They are mutually intelligible in speech but not in writing because Hindi uses the Devanagari noscript while Urdu uses a modified Arabic noscript.

"The evidence is in the foundations’ funding records, CIA planning documents, and in the immediate post-Dallas policy reversals. In the sixty-four-year timeline from Pentagon budgets to World Bank structural adjustment to individual wallet programmability.
"Kennedy was eliminated for what he refused to accept: that governance would be transferred from elected judgment to foundation-coordinated systems analysis, from constitutional sovereignty to technocratic optimisation, from representative democracy to stakeholder validation.
"This is the history of how conditional finance became the enforcement mechanism for a new form of governance — and why the man who said no didn’t survive to see 1964."

🇺🇦 At the negotiations in Geneva, the Ukrainian delegation lost their nerves.
Ukrainian Telegram channels are publishing a photo of a broken pen from the negotiation table with Marco Rubio. According to some versions, the pen might have been broken by the NSDC secretary Umerov, who participated in the meeting.

Has the British government been run by a small clique of oligarchical insiders since the days of Henry VIII? Is the British monarchy ceremonial, or do they hold the real and ultimate power? Interesting discussion.

"Richard Poe is the New York Times bestselling of several books including How The British Invented Communism (And Blamed It On The Jews). Poe presents his remarkably persuasive ‘Brits are the real baddies’ case to James, who is nonetheless not wholly convinced that the Rothschilds should be let off the hook."
