An example of the weird world we’re living in, the power of Social Media and unintended consequences, this time for good. A short 🧵: In Syria, a fan of the actor Ghadhfan Ghanoum who played the brother of the dictator Assad on TV in Smile O General posted a joke online: “Assad has returned.”

"Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true." -MLK

6 wise, blind elephants discussed what humans were like. Unable to agree, they decided to determine what humans were like by direct experience. The 1st wise, blind elephant felt the human, and declared, "Humans are flat." The other wise, blind elephants, after similarly feeling the human, agreed.

The crazy thing about this lie is how brazen it is. He says “we need way more funding than we thought” and then immediately turns around and says “also we will this year have the capability to replace your employees”. This is Elisabeth Holmes talk. It’s Adam Neumann talk. He’s just a con man

Word of the Day is one I keep posting at the end of the year, hoping its time will come. ‘Respair’, from the 16th century, is fresh hope, and a recovery from despair. Here’s to a few drops of respair in 2025.
