"Hippos and Sharks" is a metaphor for irrational fear.
Most people are more afraid of sharks, than hippos, but hippos kill 2,900 people vs sharks killing 5 people per year. So, reality does not correlate to our general beliefs.

I'm thinking that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has a very bright political future in US. I'd not be too surprised if she can even become president, despite being socialist and not very competent. Because republicans seem to be doing exactly the same thing democrats did with Trump - media obsession. They're so eager to criticize their opponent, not realizing that they're doing a free advertising to opponent.

In any negotiation the major feeling that can be exploited against you is a feeling of significance(importance).
The major tactics in any negotiation is to listen and clarify things.

Atheism is on the rise in US from 6% in 90th to 23%. I'm pretty skeptical that all of these people truly have no religion. USSR also was considered an atheist state yet it was the most dogmatic place in the world: religion was communism, communist party was god, Marx and Engels where apostles, Lenin was Jesus, party secretaries were the holy Popes. We might see birth of new major religion or maybe it has been born , but I didn't notice it. 👼

Sparta!
You probably remember reading in school about extraordinary warriors who bravely beat huge armies to defend Greece from terrible Persian. How powerful these soldiers were.
I used to admire Spartans, until I've started to read about Socrates.
Today I can clearly say I despise Spartans and their ideals.
In a movie 300 Spartans we were sold a story of the war of freedom against tyranny - it's a lie. Sparta was tyrant state, that eventually destroyed greatness of Greece, by beating a democratic state - Athens in Peloponnesian War.
Tyrants cannot tolerate democratic neighboring country, the spirit of freedom is highly contagious and undermines their power.
Thousands of years have passed but fight of freedom vs tyranny is still as relevant.
The question is how long can a democracy sustain until it either destroyed by outside tyrannies or turned into tyranny from within?
Whatever happens we must keep eyes open.

Nowadays, on average worldwide more people die from commiting suicide than from wars. More people die from obesity than from hunger.
Conclusion: you can poses danger to yourself.💀

Test your awareness.

This is how my homeland Ingushetia looks like today. Putin sent our his dogs to threaten people who are fed up from local corrupt governor.
Putin took away the right to vote for governor in Ingushetia he appointed head of republic himself in return governor launched an unprecedented level of corruption.
Ingushetia is the only place in whole of Russia that continues the struggle against corrupt goverment despite costant threats by special forces.
I've read many article from western idiots admiring how awesome Putin is, a strong leader - well here's what a strong leader looks like - you get fucked constantly, by goverment officials and if you're not happy then by special forces.

A great leader stiring his country into bright future.

Feeling is a calculation mechanism built by millions of years of evolution that calculates your odds of survival and reproduction success. Lots of people claim that success in life came because they trusted their gut feeling.
Well it is a very good calculation mechanism and the only one avaliable untill recently, but The era of the feelings is coming to an end rapidly.
It is the computer data processing that would take the place of the feeling. More and more we will be consulting data analysis for our major life decisions and we will choose data even if we feel differently, because data processing can give a more precise calculations.
That also implies that politicians would also make a lot smarter decisions in manipulation of our minds. We are so careless with the way we leave our data trails all over internet which some day would be used agaist us so cleverly that we won't even realize it.
Can I be smart enough to realize that I'm being manipulated by an algorithm that knows me better that I know myself? I think its a rhetorical question. I can't, my brain is a million years old calculator if i could get manipulated by other humans, I would surely get manipulated by computer algorithm.
Not all manipulations are evil, sometimes we get manipulated for our own good, but very often we are manipulated for the good of the puppet master. Puppet masters could take our money, our freedom and even our life.
So the major question is how to avoid it? I think the only thing we can do is to give out as few data as possible. This is why Telegram is such an amazing platform. Messaging is not enough, there should be a new internet build around this project and after reading TON whitepaper I've realized that these guys aren't just trying create new bitcoin, features like TON DNS mean that there's something lot more grandiose that is being built - a new Internet where a user could own his/her data without sacrificing the convenience.

Imagine yourself riding a metro and seeing this. Your reaction ? 😂

Julian Assange has been kicked out of Ecuadorian embassy in London and arrested by police. Wonder what's next stop, Guantanamo ?

This is how police handles freedom of speech.
