- The smartest person I've met might have gotten a terrible score even on the college entrance exam. - Everyone thought software programming was the ultimate intelligent profession. - What was the first thing artificial intelligence solved? Software programming. - The definition of intelligence is very different from what most people think. - True intelligence: Technical skill + Human empathy + The ability to understand what isn't said - People who can see beyond the corners are truly, truly smart. - Being able to prevent problems before they arise—just because you sense the air. - That air: Data + Analysis + First principles + Life experience + Wisdom + Feeling other people - That's what intelligence is. - This will be the definition of intelligence in the future. And that person might have gotten a terrible score on the SAT.

Mykhailo Rohoza on X: "“In my youth I made it a rule not to drink a drop of alcohol before lunch. Now that I am no longer young, I keep to the rule of not drinking a drop before breakfast.” Winston Churchill was the only British Prime Minister ever awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. Reading him, https://t.co/G37CRpoyKc" / X Reading him, you realize that to be a brilliant writer you don’t need to write long books — and to be a true philosopher, you don’t either.

Here are some of his quotes: One. If you’re going through hell — keep going. Two. You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something in your life. Three. Every crisis is a new opportunity. Four. A smart person doesn’t make all the mistakes himself — he gives others a chance too. Five. The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter. Six. Success is the ability to go from one failure to another without losing enthusiasm. Seven. A kite rises highest against the wind, not with it. Eight. A man who never changes his mind is a fool. Nine. When eagles are silent, parrots begin to chatter. Ten. Power is a drug. Anyone who has tried it even once is poisoned by it forever. Eleven. Do not wish for health and wealth — wish for luck. On the Titanic, everyone was rich and healthy, but only a few were lucky. Twelve. A lie travels halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on. Thirteen. Politics is almost as exciting as war, and quite as dangerous. In war, you can only be killed once — in politics, many times. Fourteen. My tastes are simple. I am easily satisfied with the best. Fifteen. If you want to have the last word in an argument, tell your opponent: “You may be right.” Sixteen. The greatest advantage comes to those who make their mistakes early enough to learn from them. Seventeen. People are very good at keeping secrets they do not know. Eighteen. War is when innocent people die for the interests of others. Nineteen. The greatest lesson in life is that even fools are sometimes right. Twenty. It is far better to bribe a person than to kill him — and far better to be bribed than killed. Twenty-one. It is easier to rule a nation than to raise four children. Twenty-two. We live in an age of great events and small men. Twenty-three. Nothing earns authority like calmness. Twenty-four. The best way to ruin a relationship is to start trying to “sort it out.” Twenty-five. When two people fight, the third one wins. Twenty-six. If you kill a murderer, the number of murderers does not change. Twenty-seven. A pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees opportunity in every difficulty. Twenty-eight. You will never reach your destination if you stop to throw stones at every barking dog. Twenty-nine. A nation that forgets its past loses its future. Once, during a speech, Churchill was asked: — Isn’t it pleasing to know that every time you give a speech, the hall is packed? He replied: — It is, very much so. But every time I see a full hall, I cannot help thinking that if I were not giving a speech but being led to the gallows, the crowd would be twice as large. 4:04AM 1 May 2026

Dr Jose Cuauhtemoc Cervantes on X: "📰 EL IMPERIO QUE NUNCA DEJÓ DE GUERREAR Durante más de dos siglos, la narrativa oficial ha vendido una imagen: la de una nación defensora de la libertad, guardiana del orden internacional y promotora de la democracia. Pero la historia —la real, la incómoda— cuenta otra cosa. https://t.co/Vbn8wyR1fC" / X 

THE EMPIRE THAT NEVER STOPPED WAGING WAR

For more than two centuries, the official narrative has sold an image: that of a nation defender of freedom, guardian of international order, and promoter of democracy. But history—the real, uncomfortable one—tells a different story. The United States, in its approximately 250 years of existence, has been involved in conflicts for more than 90% of its history. These aren't isolated episodes, nor inevitable wars. It's a pattern. A constant.
A machine. From its first confrontations against the Sultan of Morocco, through the invasion of Mexico in the 19th century, to interventions in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, the common thread is the same: expansion, control, and domination. The construction of its power wasn't free. It was built on dark pillars: •slavery •territorial dispossession •resource exploitation •coups d'état •proxy wars •and an arms industry that needs conflicts like oxygen This isn't a light accusation. It's a historical review. Here are the facts: The 1953 coup in Iran against Mohammad Mosaddegh. The intervention in Guatemala in 1954. Vietnam, turned into a hell for more than a decade. Chile in 1973, with the fall of Salvador Allende. The Congo, where Patrice Lumumba was assassinated. The pursuit of Che Guevara in Bolivia. And more recently: Iraq. Afghanistan. Libya. Syria. The list isn't short. It's endless. Between 1947 and 1989, it tried to change foreign governments 73 times. 66 covert operations. 7 overt interventions. That's not diplomacy. It's power engineering. 🌎 THE ECONOMY OF WAR Behind every intervention, there's a constant that's rarely mentioned: money. War doesn't just destroy. It also generates profits. Military-industrial complexes that sell weapons. Reconstructions funded by corporations. Strategic resources under foreign control. Meanwhile, the discourse remains the same: “defending democracy.” But the question is inevitable: Defend it… or impose it? ⚖️ GLOBAL DOUBLE STANDARDS When other countries act with force, they're called regimes. When the United States does it, it's called leadership. When others invade, it's condemnable. When Washington does it, it's “intervention.” That double yardstick has eroded not only international trust, but the very concept of global legality. 🔥 THE CYCLE THAT REPEATS Because in the end, it all boils down to a formula that history repeats again and again: INVADE. DESTROY. RECONFIGURE. WITHDRAW… AND START OVER. It's not theory. It's a pattern. The empires of the past also believed themselves eternal. Rome. Persia. The British Empire. They all shared something in common: the conviction that their power was unquestionable. Until it wasn't. Today, the world watches. No longer with admiration… but with distrust. Because when a nation lives in near-permanent war, it stops being a guarantor of stability… and begins to become its main threat. “THERE IS NO BENEVOLENT EMPIRE WHEN ITS HISTORY IS WRITTEN IN BLOOD.”

Natural Philosophy on X: "“The greater part of the population is not very intelligent, dreads responsibility, and desires nothing better than to be told what to do. Provided the rulers do not interfere with its material comforts and its cherished beliefs, it is perfectly happy to let itself be ruled.” — https://t.co/KwFdEVXgAE" / X by Aldous Huxley  7:37AM 24 March 2026

Time

Time is not stationary. It moves forward and cannot be retraced.
Elders are blessing the family get together.

We are all puppets in the hands of destiny. We are born and die to be reborn.

What they need now is not pressure. Not stress. Not arguments about money or past mistakes. They need stability. They need reassurance. They need to feel safe. If they have savings, protect it. This is not the stage for risky investments or “let’s try this opportunity.” It is the stage for preservation. Capital safety matters more than high returns. Peace of mind matters more than profit. If they depend on you financially, don’t see it as a burden. See it as a privilege. The same hands that once carried you are now weaker. The same voices that defended you now speak softer. Support them with dignity, not pity.
And beyond money, give them something deeper. Call them without being in a hurry. Sit with them without checking your phone every two minutes. Let them repeat stories you’ve heard before. One day, you will wish to hear those stories again. At 67 and above, what they truly fear is not death. It is loneliness. It is feeling forgotten. Take care of their health. Help them organize their documents. Make sure they are not being financially manipulated. Protect them from stress. But most importantly, protect their heart. Because one day, the chair they sit on will be empty And no amount of money will buy back one more conversation. 12:42 AM 4 Mar 2026.

“One day I took a taxi to go to the BBC offices for an interview. Upon arriving, I asked the driver to wait for me for about forty minutes. He apologized and said he couldn’t, because he had to go home to listen to Winston Churchill’s speech. I was surprised and at the same time delighted by his enthusiasm. So I took out ten pounds and gave them to him without telling him who I was. The driver took the money and immediately replied: ‘I’ll wait for you all day, sir! And to hell with Churchill!’” It’s a simple story, but a very revealing one. Money can change principles. Nations are sold for money. Honor is lost for money. Families are broken for money. Friendships are lost. Sometimes, even lives are lost. And all too often, people become slaves to money. It’s worth pausing for a moment and asking oneself: What is it that really matters?

*What is happiness?* A famous Turkish poet once asked his painter friend to capture happiness on canvas. The painter chose an unexpected scene: a family sleeping peacefully on a creaking bed. One leg of the bed was broken, supported by two bricks. The roof of their modest home leaked. Even the family dog slept calmly beside them. That painting became immortal because it revealed a powerful truth: happiness is not the absence of problems. It is the ability to rest your heart even when life is imperfect. It is acceptance, gratitude, and inner peace amid uncertainty. Happiness is being grateful, finding comfort in what you have, seeing light despite cracks, and letting go of sorrow over things beyond your control. Whenever your heart feels heavy, remember this painting. Be content, Be grateful, sleep peacefully & stay blessed forever.

The Indian Hindu system is best suited for living with respect, dignity, and happiness. The Hindu system teaches the theory of Karma. In other words, you get what you sow. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. If I behave well with my parents, chances are that my children will behave with me in the same way.
Parents must care for their parents while taking care of their children. Children learn from the way parents behave with grandparents. The joint family system is an extension of the nuclear family system. We can live longer than one hundred years if there is no isolation, depression, or loss of purpose in living. A disciplined life is a key to the art of living.
We all must learn the art of living together in society. Dilute anger, greed, grievance, identity, and emotional attachment to a territory. Old age homes provide a limited option for individuals. It is better to live together with the family you have cared for or the people you have lived together.
Yoga, Beer, wine, and whiskey tasting groups, gardening, teaching to younger people, and volunteering for the society that takes care of you are the other options to live healthy, happy, and die in peace. Biological age can be extended by being physically active, though destiny cannot be overlooked.

Cody Alt on X: "Harvard researchers studied 120,000 people over 30 years. The longest-lived people shared one habit. And it wasn't "cold showers" or "5 am starts". Here's what it was (and the science behind it): 🧵 https://t.co/Yyfoq1tDNU" / X 4:54AM 9 January 2025

Cody Alt on X: "The Harvard Study of Adult Development began in 1938 and tracked: • Daily habits • Physical health • Mental well-being • Career trajectories • Personal relationships But something unexpected emerged from the data: https://t.co/9HTZmSgxjZ" / X

Cody Alt on X: "Initially, researchers focused on conventional factors: Diet, exercise, genetics, and healthcare access. While these played important roles, they weren't the strongest predictor. What they discovered would challenge decades of medical wisdom... https://t.co/7swtOUjALe" / X

Cody Alt on X: "The most powerful predictor of longevity was strong social connections. As Dr. Robert Waldinger, the study's director, concluded: "Good relationships keep us happier and healthier. Period." The research revealed a profound link between relationships and health: https://t.co/32kvJwuKRm" / X

Cody Alt on X: "The study found that people with strong social bonds had: • Enhanced brain health • Better immune function • Lower rates of depression • Better recovery from illness But the implications went even deeper: https://t.co/indHr1IYJO" / X

Cody Alt on X: "The quality of relationships proved crucial. Superficial connections weren't enough. The research showed that warm, trusting relationships with genuine emotional support had the strongest impact on health outcomes. This revealed something fascinating about human biology:" / X

Cody Alt on X: "The science behind this was clear: Strong social bonds reduce stress hormones like cortisol. They increase oxytocin production. They enhance immune system function. And researchers discovered something even more surprising: https://t.co/K3m8mXWj3S" / X

Cody Alt on X: "Dr. Waldinger's research revealed: Social isolation was as damaging to health as: • Being alcoholic • Living a sedentary lifestyle • Smoking 15 cigarettes a day "Loneliness kills. It's as powerful as smoking or alcoholism."" / X

Cody Alt on X: "The research emphasized quality over quantity. Large social networks alone didn't predict longevity. But having close, reliable relationships demonstrated significant health benefits. The physiological effects were measurable: https://t.co/tULXnS59z5" / X

Cody Alt on X: "Strong social connections are linked to: • Lower blood pressure • Improved heart health • Reduced inflammation • Better stress regulation • Enhanced cognitive function The evidence was undeniable: Social bonds impact physical health." / X

Cody Alt on X: "3 evidence-based strategies: 1. Make relationship maintenance a daily priority 2. Dedicate regular, focused time with close friends 3. Participate in community groups or shared interests Consistency matters more than intensity." / X

Cody Alt on X: "The truth about longevity isn't complicated: It's about playing the long game. Building relationships that last. Creating habits that compound. Making choices that serve you decades from now. But here's what most people miss:" / X

Cody Alt on X: "After building a 9-figure business and studying peak performers for years, I've noticed: The most successful people aren't sprinting. They're playing an infinite game. Just like those Harvard study participants who lived the longest." / X

Cody Alt on X: "They focus on: • Deep connections • Compound habits • Long-term thinking • Sustainable growth And the results are extraordinary." / X
