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]

If I woke up to the news of an invasion of up North with bombings, regicide and all, I would be surprised; but only very moderately so.

Former Israeli soldiers dressed as pro-Palestinian protesters and tabled outside Columbia’s gates on Tuesday as part of the group Frontline Advocates, which is affiliated with the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs. columbiaspectator.com/news/2026/08/2…

This cyclist friend of mine has discovered via experimentation that Silca underestimates 32mm tires by ~8 PSI. May work for shoulderless 155lb Tour-de-F aiming cyclists but the algo fails for him. PSI 8 points higher lead to an increase in speed up to 3km/h on smooth concrete.
