In “A Few Good Men”, a 1992 film by Rob Reiner, Base Commander Colonel Nathan Jessup (Jack Nicholson) tells Lieutenant (Junior Grade) Daniel Kaffee (Tom Cruise) in a defining moment of the film: “You can’t handle the

 2/In the film the truth ultimately prevails. Jessup confesses he ordered the “code red” and is arrested while Dawson and Downey are acquitted of the charges of murdering Santiago. However truth often doesn’t win the day on the great stage of life on which we are but the actors.
3/In a material and political world, truth can become the enemy of those in power. The truth about suffering led Siddhartha Gautama to leave his palace and princely inheritance to become the Buddha. The truth about Jesus Christ led to his crucifixion.

4/There is the truth about reality, and there is propaganda designed to keep people from knowing the truth. It’s the quest of the truth seeker to determine which is which.
5/“Shakespeare stated and I quote,”The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be the fool” the natural tendency of humans is not to face themselves and not to see who they really are- but knowing who you are gives you the strength to manage your weakness.””
6/In the journey of life I’ve stumbled, tripped and fallen only to find myself taking to the path of the truth seeker which helps me understand life on a deeper level as well as myself. Arriving to truth also brings lies, deceit & falsehood into clarity.

7/This said, the truth is that North Korea’s education system is better than the US’s, and their teachers are more dedicated to teaching their students than unionized American school teachers, who demand that schools remain closed during COVID while they continue getting paid.

January 24 is the International Day of Education. It was

“Are people in North Korea allowed to laugh, dance and marry? This documentary provides unique insights
11/“on everyday life in the East Asian country, which most people associate with dictatorship, military parades and nuclear missile testing.”
12/The truth is that Music Clubs in US schools would be hard pressed to match the exuberance these North Korean high school students have in learning music, their instruments and singing.

13/The material world is a twisted reflection of the spiritual world. In an ideal justice system wrongdoing and wrongdoers are nailed to a cross.

[“nail to a cross

nail (one) to a cross

To punish, berate, or hurt one in a very severe fashion for a wrongdoing or transgression”]
14/Yet we live in a political world where the truth itself gets nailed to a cross when it gets in the way of the powerful maintaining their grip on power. A US military industrial complex that profits from war denies millions of people from the peace they deserve, long overdue.
15/Power attempts to keep the people ignorant of the truth by peddling whatever false narratives serve to forward their political agendas, which devolves into propaganda the people consume thru MSM or government/state controlled media.
16/It makes you wonder about the state of affairs b/t the US and North Korea: Are we the “good guys” and they the “bad guys”? Or is it the other way around? DPRK, a “shrimp among whales”, needs nuclear deterrence just to survive, yet like a bully the superpower US demands Kim
17/Jong Un fully denuclearize. How would President Biden react if Russia or China demanded we give them our nuclear stockpile? The DPRK Music Club students👆& all North Korean students, parents, teachers & workers feel safer b/c KJU has built up their defense against US! The US!
18/The country that makes life miserable for North Koreans thru sanctions, pressure policy and unfair demands. The US signed an Armistice meant to end the War and bring peace to all Koreans, North and South. North Koreans still want peace and Americans won’t give it. So are “we”
19/the “good guys”? Maybe at this stage, in 2021, the North Koreans - a nuclear underdog beset by an unruly US superpower acting more like a Goliath - are the “good guys”.

What is the truth?

As a truth seeker I cant draw conclusions for you I might have drawn for myself. I will
20/tho encourage one to be a truth seeker. However that could run afoul w/ the material & political powers that be who wish to suppress the truth and replace it instead w/ a false narrative.

When I see these North Koreans 👇celebrating New Year’s Eve 2020

21/(opening scene) filled w/ as much joy as citizens in other countries, I know that North Korea is nowhere close to its maligned characterization pushed by the US, Western media, UN Security Council. I see people happier being North Korean than US citizens are at being American.

The Blank Sheet Method that will 10x your reading comprehension.

Here is how it works.

Before you start reading a new book, take out a blank sheet of paper. Write down what you know about the book / subject you’re about to read — a mind map if you will.

After you finish a reading session, spend a few minutes adding to the map with a different color.

Before you start your next reading session, review the page.

When you’re done reading, put these ‘blank sheets’ into a binder that you periodically review.

1/ Here are my notes from @robertwrighter's book - Nonzero: the logic of human destiny. I enjoyed the book very much.

The basic premise of the book is that history has a direction which favors co-operation and non-zero sum games, and that causes an increase in complexity.


2/ Starting from the first replicating molecule which co-operated with an outer layer to form first proto-cell, evolutionary and cultural history is full of examples where two entities come together to survive and progress a lot more than they would have done individually.

3/ This co-operative entity fares much better than two individual entities because of specialization. If two entities are in the same boat - that they win together or lose together - then trust is implicit.

4/ In a non-zero sum game, trust causes entities to focus on what they do best.

For example, eukaryotic cells - the ones animals and plants have - emerged when two proto-cells merged, and one took the role of energy generator (mitochondria), the other specialized in protection.

5/ Some scientists believe that even nucleus in a cell is a result of an early cell merging with another cell.

So M&A is not a recent phenomena, entities have been merging because of common interests ever since life started.

For my book, I interviewed Texan Republicans, Democrats, oil guys + clean energy pioneers. Texas was once leading in wind energy, with GOP support. Now we get lies, from the Gov on down on renewables. What happened?

Lessons from Short Circuiting Policy https://t.co/KtxaBci5oC 🧵


Texas' challenges are not from "learning too many renewable energy lessons from California.” - Rep. Crenshaw

Texas passed its first renewable energy target in 1999, 3 years before California. The law was signed by, Gov. George W. Bush — you may recall he’s a Republican.

Gov. Bush was so proud of Texas’ leadership on wind energy, that he campaigned on it when running for President in 2000.

The "bill he signed in 1999 will make Texas the country’s largest market for renewable energy by 2009."
https://t.co/T4dKZ5qGnA


In 2005, Texas passed another big wind energy law, which included $7 billion for transmission.

It was sponsored by Republican state Senator Troy Fraser and signed by Republican Gov. Rick

With Gov. Abbott going on TV this week and lying, blaming the boogeyman “Green New Deal” and wind turbines for Texas’ current crisis, GOP leadership on renewables feels like ancient history.

I'm feeling very thankful and slightly sentimental today.

While I take a small break from editing I want to make a thread thanking all the content creators that have inspired me and how they have inspired me.


One of my biggest inspirations in the content creation game.

Lessons Learned:
The sky is the limit, if you set your expectations low then you'll get low results. If you set your expectations at infinite and work towards that you'll reach heights.


The creator I probably resonate the most with emotionally.

Lesson Learned:
There's no stop. If you mess up or something doesn't work out, just take a break then come back stronger.
Content creation is a big thing and lessons learned is better than perfection.


The creator that just feels like he's having the most fun with his content.

Lesson Learned:
Have fun, make your content "you". You might have quirks and things that you might find weird about yourself but it's all good!
Allow yourself to be you! Even a potato!


The creator I feel like is always happy and it makes me also feel happy!

Lesson Learned:
Help me Help you. Content creation isn't a competition and it's actually if anything more a group effort!
If you improve the person next to you also improves. Be inspiring!

Panniyur Sri Varahamurthy Temple Palakkad, Kerala
#KeralaTemples 🚩

Panniyur Sri Varahamurthy Temple is located in Pattambi Taluk of Palakkad District. This is believed to be the first temple in Kerala, where Prathishta was done by Parasurama

Story says that, Parashurama after


Creating Kerala was doing Tapasya here. But he was disturbed as the land faced turbulence. Parashurama sought Narada’s help, who advised him to pray to Vishnu. Parashurama started praying Maha Vishnu. Finally Maha Vishnu appeared and told to do Prathishta of his Varaha Avatar.


As Earth is saved in Varaha Avatar, this temple is famous to solve land related issues.

Many people conduct Bhoomi puja here, which is very special here. They bring sand from around the temple which is used for pooja and then has to be returned to the same spot 👇


from where it was taken.
It is also believed that Perumthachan, the legedary craftsman has abandoned his tools here.

Again sharing bank nifty intraday weekly straddle. How to play by selling straddle.
Mostly will work on Monday to Wednesday. Sometimes on Friday.
Why to pay your money to learn this if u can get it here.
U need only practice.
Let’s go.

Say bank nifty future is at 32000.
Sell both 32000 call and put.
Considering current volatile market lest say premium on Monday morning is 350 on both sides.
Sold with 700 points combine premium.
If bank nifty will trade in narrow range say +\- 100 hold it.
If moving 200 points

then exit previous sold straddle. Sell new one. Let’s say BN moved +200
Now sell 32200. If bank nifty will move here within range then u will get profit through theta decay. Follow same procedure for next 150-200 pts move.

This is only for single straddle sell position.

Now in second case sell three straddle. 31900/32000/32100
In case of 100 points move no need to change.
If 200 + then future is 32200.
Exit 31900 and sell 31200 straddle.
If moving another 100 then exit 32000 and sell 32300. Continue same with 100 points move.
If no move then

it will consolidate between 32000-32200 or 32100 to 32300 and u will get theta decay.

This is for normal move. Sudden big move may come anytime. So keep SL in system.
If u r selling at 350-350 then keep SL in system 475 for both legs.
Practice it. No need to attend webinar.

In regards to the #CapitolCoup, I’m in a unique position. I monitored forums ahead of time and then was present for the coup itself.

These are my observations based on what I saw and the evidence that’s been collected so far. I reserve the right to adjust my analysis as needed.

Let’s talk about the organization of the coup first. Seeing some people insist that the coup must have been highly planned and coordinated.

Yes and no. This was a #StochasticCoup. We’ll see little evidence of direct communication between Trump and the insurrectionists.

Within the insurrectionists, there was not one group that executed the storming of the Capitol.

Rather, there were a number of smaller groups working independently towards the same goal. I expect you’ll see little evidence that these various groups communicated with each other.

What you will see is detailed planning and coordination within these small groups.

Then there were the joyriders, those Trump supporters who weren’t directly involved in any plotting but who were more than happy to go along for the ride once the coup was in motion.

After four years, the insurrectionists were carefully attuned to Trump’s messaging.

Every tweet and statement of his was treated as marching orders and carefully dissected for meaning.

It’s why shutting down Trump’s Twitter account was so important.
