Flaneur: probability (philosophy), probability (mathematics), probability (real life), deadlifts & dead languages. GrecoRomanLevantine (Canaan). #RWRI

Dear enemies, detractors, libellers, university rats, genocide propagandists, ethnic cleansing & baby murder promoters, & label conscious Davos midwits, it also happens that #Antifragility is the most influential 21st C. concept.
Dear enemies,The Black Swan is now the most influential (that is, discussed/mentioned) 21st C book. While almost all books have a half-life between 2 and 6 months, it does not appear to have a half-life. #Lindy [Same with other 4 books in the Incerto. Graph is US only]

To repeat @simonmontefiore is to a historian what Benjamin Netanyahu (Mileikowsky) is to a humanitarian social worker.
Reading this newly released book. The author is a historian who never studied Arabic nor the Middle East. He makes this claim about a book published in Arabic. In fact, Zureiq started talking passionately about the refugees on page 8 of the book.

Hence cycling for me. You need >3000 Kcal for a good life, otherwise no wine no bottarga no organ food no fermented cheese no head cheese no pork ribs no kebbe no croissants w/extra Irish butter no manousheh no tripes no steak tartare no boeuf bourguignon no baba au rhum...
If you try to eat less than ~2,500 kcal/d, you're *supposed to be* hungry. Man just wasn't built to live off <2,500 kcal/d. From an evolutionary standpoint, here's how it's supposed to work... Caloric intake falls, paleolithic man sitting around fire gets hungry. This hunger motivates him to *move*... Sometimes over very long distances in search of food. Trying to ignore or suppress this signal (or the resultant outcome -> extended movement) is suppressing the natural biological balance of your body. Hunger -> Move -> Find food. This is the natural satiety cycle.

This retard Bessent (who unfollowed me) can't hid his Orwellian "stabilize" spin: gas at the pump up ~50% since Trump 2 came to office. @SecScottBessent, you idiot, who are you bullshitting?
Under President Trump’s leadership, the United States is delivering on its commitments to help stabilize global energy markets. Our European partners should accelerate delivery on their existing commitments and make additional supplies immediately available to address ongoing disruptions. American farmers, truckers, and businesses should not be left carrying the burden of a global diesel shortage. America is doing its part. We look to our allies to match their commitments with action.

Skepticism.
As a pilot for 20 years I have questions: - where are the cabin crew here? - where are the oxygen masks that automatically drop during a rapid emergency descent? - how did the Capt manage to open the door while being stabbed? - Omani pilots were not allowed to fly to Israel, why was he allowed? - how did the offending pilot get a weapon onboard? - why has this happened so close to elections? - how are passengers walking around while apparently in a nosedive? - who else was injured? Nose dives cause significant g force incidents - why is there two perfectly positioned people recording the incident and not helping? - why did a plumber take control and not the 2 pilots onboard who would certainly know when an aircraft was in a nosedive? - why was the plumber speaking in English to Bibi after the flight - why was he still in his blood soaked clothes 8 hours after the incident False Flags have been a very effective mechanism to influence public opinion Hitler burnt down the Reichstag just before his parliament elections and he won the election…changing the course of history. A full and independent investigation should be carried out here. Hopefully independent journalist will be allowed to view this too.

Any probability concerning an unknown state is NECESSARILY >0. w/@DrCirillo mdpi.com/2227-9091/13/12/247
Credible scientists don’t estimate things that could conceivably happen, however unlikely, at exactly zero probability.

Delighted to be joining the Greenwich Economic Forum. On Oct. 6 at 4:25 p.m., I’ll be hosting a fireside chat with @nntaleb Nassim Taleb. We last spoke just days before the war in Iran began. Many thanks to Bruce McGuire and James Aiello for the opportunity! #GEF

This fellow runs an AIPAC sibling outfit designed to bullshit for the sake of Zionistan. But I know firsthand that he is exceedingly dumb. He is very very very bad at bullshitting.

PHILOLOGY DUJOUR Arabic names like Anis, Habib, Najib, Hayat, etc. currently used by Levantine Christians are either of Greco-Roman origin, or were Semitic that led to Christian Greco-Roman names.

This cyclist friend of mine would like to know what is more effective. 3 sets of presses (3-5 reps each) to near failure w/normal rest in between (to read msgs, block Twitter trolls, etc.) 3 sets of presses (same) separated by a few hours. @SS_strength

The question isn't about failure or nonfailure, but the spacing between sets. Hint: that cyclist friend has a barbell near his study.
