Concerning that Peter Zeihan video about Russia and Ukraine...... that I posted last week: it was an hour long, so I know many readers didn't have the time to watch it. Thanks to CDR Salamander, we find a shortened, 12-minute video from Mr. Zeihan, looking at the Ukraine war and its implications for Russia, today and in the future. It distills the essence of last week's video into a compact discussion, making it more accessible. I *highly* recommend watching it, even if you watched last week's longer video. There's some additional material in this one that makes it very interesting - for example, current Russian emigration patterns si... read more

We know that our culture is badly distorted in regards to sleep practise. this is the result of indoor lighting changing out our traditional sleep patterns.

'Invisible' Creature Encountered in Allegheny National Forest, Pennsylvania
Reports are drifting in regarding instances in which invisibility is demoed. We certainly have it confirmed hugely as a skill used by both the Sasquatch and the Giant Sloth. These are the usual suspects, but mostly the Sloth. In some cases the creature makes grass move while it is moving and even lays tracks. Other cases, i do suspect that they also shift out of TIME to avoid observation. You are unable to look back in TIME to see what is happening. In this case the witness could not have done better.

Tiny machines in bacteria could help make new medicines
We are actually getting to this level of capability. We can now become proactive in manufacturing biochemicals. This is a long way from imagining machine as a complex of gears. Again biological research continues to grow year after year. Back in the sixties our knowledge base had a couple of centuries of species and biome descriptions accumulated, but could not explain the operation of a cell wall. Rather fundamental. fifty years on we can now imagine biological tools and machines. The discipline itself has grown globally as well. This is knowledge we all want to have ... read more
