12:37 This guy has too many brains for a place like Harvard, mentioning God right outta the box.

@lexfridman 15:10 This guy gets it with the scales of ants, grains, lifespans and gratitude.

@lexfridman 22:00 It's a light-pumper. They tend to **reflect** because it's how they move. https://t.co/k5COoHX0y0
@lexfridman 24:40 Yeah, "ice". Baby to go. Turn off the lights and I'll glow. https://t.co/HQJbmoCHr7
@lexfridman 28:00 Water ice. Big H component in H2O.

Pooshes like a water cloud is pooshed from puddles.

Frozen, liquid, "gas", engineered into graphane, what's the dif?

@lexfridman It's not gas here. Just light. Not stored, pumped.
@lexfridman 29:00 The "possibilities" are what Kelly has said for years.

See above.
@lexfridman Arghhh. Not a SAIL, a PUMP.

How do you "sail" underwater? You don't.

You're in space, not on it.

@lexfridman 34:00 Shiny is why it floats.

He gets it about what's moving and what's floating.

@lexfridman Water bottle lmao.

One from the vaults...
@lexfridman 46:00 Pity to see this wasted at a mindless parrot factory like Harvard.
@lexfridman So much more would get done from a barstool beside any community college.
@lexfridman PRAVDA of Harvard. ROTFL
@lexfridman Only NATURE could possibly be dumber.
@lexfridman 51:00 "Dark matter" now.

As phony as "natural selection", speaking of the moronic, superstition-mongering NATURE.
@lexfridman Feedback from reality isn't woke, chief.
@lexfridman Theology is more testable post-modern fake #science.
@lexfridman Suggest you triple check certain histories.
@lexfridman Don't be Wikipedia-informed.
@lexfridman Falsify on this and get back to us.

Show your work. Use both sides of the paper, save a few trillion trees.

@lexfridman Besides, theology is above mere #science in the hierarchy of knowing, as every schoolchild can tell you.

You don't test it, it tests you.
@lexfridman Back in your lanes with Drake. Good.
@lexfridman 1:05 Good anecdote about MIT and gravitational waves.
@lexfridman "Long arc" is right.
@lexfridman Galileo's telescope told him the sun controlled tides, which was wrong.

So knock it off with that pedestrian strawman.

But don't take my word for it...

@lexfridman UFOs are another God-shaped hole for too many of these people.

#NotACult
@lexfridman They move on light. Of course the images are fuzzy.
@lexfridman People tracking UFOs with sensors is happening now.

@lexfridman @SkyHub10 1:26 When you and Yuri tire of the Rube Goldberg stuff, you know where I am.
@lexfridman @SkyHub10 1:30-ish

Doesn't seem like the next big leap would come that way though, does it?

How would you engineer such a breakthrough, were you orchestrating or simply allowing things to happen naturally?

Serious replies only.

Excited we finally have a draft of this paper, which attempts to provide a 'unifying theory' of the long economic divergence between the Middle East & Western Europe

As we see it, there are 3 recent theories that hit on important aspects of the divergence...

1/


One set of theories focus on the legitimating power of Islam (Rubin, @prof_ahmetkuru, Platteau). This gave religious clerics greater power, which pulled political resources away form those encouraging economic development

But these theories leave some questions unanswered...
2/

Religious legitimacy is only effective if people
care what religious authorities dictate. Given the economic consequences, why do people remain religious, and thereby render religious legitimacy effective? Is religiosity a cause or a consequence of institutional arrangements?

3/

Another set of theories focus on the religious proscriptions of Islam, particular those associated with Islamic law (@timurkuran). These laws were appropriate for the setting they formed but had unforeseeable consequences and failed to change as economic circumstances changed

4/

There are unaddressed questions here, too

Muslim rulers must have understood that Islamic law carried proscriptions that hampered economic development. Why, then, did they continue to use Islamic institutions (like courts) that promoted inefficiencies?

#Cardano “Understanding Kamali”

#Cardano will be the underpinning of the emergence of Africa.

To grasp the full weight of the SOLUTIONS #Cardano can provide it is pertinent to read “Understanding Africa” as I will draw directly from the PROBLEMS laid out.

Here is a link if you have not already read


(3/50)

What I will attempt to do here, is to create an immersive world for you to be placed in to grasp the weight and size of problems from the ground level and then take a grass-roots approach at solving them using #Cardano and its technology.

(4/50)

As an investor and community member of #Cardano, this should be extremely important to you as you have a stake (pun intended) in this.

In Africa, agribusiness, more than any other sector, has the potential to reduce poverty and drive economic growth. Agriculture accounts for nearly half of the continent’s gross domestic product and employs 60 percent of the labor force.

This is NONSENSE. The people who take photos with their books on instagram are known to be voracious readers who graciously take time to review books and recommend them to their followers. Part of their medium is to take elaborate, beautiful photos of books. Die mad, Guardian.
