What’s It Like To Live In South Africa

I was born and raised in Stellenbosch, a lovely town about 50km from Cape Town. I am currently studying at Stellenbosch University.

Growing up I was only aware of politics and the real world issues South Africa faces in a very vague way. South Africa is an incredibly beautiful country. One of my favourite things to do here is take a road trip to the Tsitsikamma forest and see the landscape change between so many different scenes and habitats as I drive. People (locals, tourists and expats) often name the natural beauty and diversity of South Africa as top reasons why they love living here. I always believed that every country has its problems, but that I love South Africa enough to bear them and work with them.

What Are Lobotomies And What Did An ‘Ideal Result’ Look Like?

lobotomy walter freeman

The lobotomy was designed to cut tissue connecting the prefrontal cortex to the thalamus. Since transorbital lobotomies are not guided or visualized if any way, they’re basically cutting blind into brain tissue.

It should be obvious why a tiny slip could have drastically different outcomes for differing patients. They’re slicing the brain, and can’t see where they’re slicing.

Why Does Correlation Not Imply Causation?

Correlation means that two things seem to have a connection or a pattern. All that has to exist for a correlation is to note that if we track how two or more things change over time, it seems like they change in a related way. So any graph that shows A and B both increasing shows a correlation between A and B, especially if at times when A decreases B also decreases.

Causation means we can prove if one thing happens, it makes the other thing happen. We don’t need a graph or data analysis for causation, sometimes we can reason it out.

Why Won’t Crypto See Mass Adoption In Its Current Form?

You see mom/son/friend, you need to have self custody. You’re your own bank. Cold wallet and hot wallet. Seeds in three copies, none of them on the computer or your phone. Two locations is a must.

But first you need to buy the crypto you want on a CeX. Preferably a reputable one which you think is safe. Which one is that? Right now, none of them seems like it. But I digress.

You need to do the KYC procedure in order to do business on a CeX. Yes, that does take a week or so. Yes, they can not accept your KYC. Yes, they can ask for your Internet invoice for the last 3 months.

Is The Portrayal of the Wild West In Movies and TV Accurate?

wild west portrayal

The real wild west most often depicted was the time of the cattle drives and wild cattle towns. The truth of the matter is that period lasted only about twenty years. It started after the Civil War in 1866 when the demand for beef rose and wild cattle from Texas was the answer only there were no rail roads to take them east except those up north. So cattle drives began to satisfy the demand for beef.

Why Didn’t They Just Bomb the Beaches of Normandy Before Carrying Out the D-Day Landing?

If you haven’t read D-Day, by Stephen E Ambrose, I’d really recommend it if you’re interested. All quotations are from Chapter 14 of the book.

They bombarded the crap out of the beaches. Several veteran soldiers have said the opening naval barrage on D day was one of the loudest things they had ever heard.
