START to end (if there’s such a thing)
this treatment of WATCHMEN—(dare I say ‘Season 1’)
was GENIUS

@DamonLindeIof treated the topic, the audience, the technology, the morality—with total respect.

LOVED the egg
timeless metaphor of the arrow of time.

And THIS superposition—
The poster from 15 weeks ago.

She was blue. Nobody suspected a damn thing.

GENIUS.
And the Dreamland theater—-

whose lights get knocked out after Adrien’s squid attack...

“Dr. M”

GENIUS!
I found Watchmen (+ WestWorld) to be two of the most philosophically provocative pieces of recent ART.

Dr. Manhattan’s conversations on time—and moments—being in all moments at once...

GENIUS.

Hugely grateful for everyone who worked on these shows for all of us...

1/ The greatest threat to humanity was once starvation—

it is now OBESITY

—and its direct connection to chronic disease in US: heart disease, diabetes, cancer, bone + muscle

Over 90% (!) of annual direct health care costs of $1 T...
2/ Amazing CEO of Kallyope @ThornberryNancy shared with our Board a just published New England Journal of Medicine paper—

—this is 10 years from now!

Urgently need new:
-breakthru drugs for obesity + satiety
-behavior + education approaches
-public policy/health changes
-foods
3/ Relatedly a best friend of @LTwolfe + mine @mollycarmel will be releasing this must-read book in a few weeks...

Biggest surprise (& change) for me?

JUICE. 🥤

totally NOT healthy.
Juice strips out all the fiber + just gives you sugar...

1/ PRIVACY will be bifurcating form of INEQUALITY

Rich will have it
(literally: private plane, cars, private school, private security, private club)

Poor will not
(public transp., public schools, public police, public parks)

The demand...
Bedroom, Bathroom, Bank account...
2/ The demand for PRIVACY will be in 3 B’s

Bedroom
Bathroom
Bank Account

the extreme poor + extreme rich
care less about privacy for Bank Account

Extreme rich publicly flaunt art, home purchases + rich-list inclusion
Extreme poor publicly joke ‘i’m deadass broke’

Who cares?..
3/ The people who care about PRIVACY for bank account are all in middle who fear judgment + jockey for status

They may make $ X
but want people to think they make 2x-3x $ X

while extreme rich + extreme poor
are respectively boastful + begrudging
truthful in revelation of status

(TW-serial murder)

Okay, so I’m reading a book about John Wayne Gacy, and I am formulating a theory as to why for many years people thought serial killers were of above-average intelligence, and that’s why they were so dang hard to catch
1. People also used to think serial killers were mostly white. We now know that’s not true. They’re all races. The majority of them in America may be white, but that’s because white people are the majority in America. So why did we think that?
Because serial killers mostly kill within their own race (as do most murderers, period), and the police did/do not care as much about the murders of Black and brown people as they do about those of white people. Thus, deaths are written off quickly and the missing stay missing

1/ McKee: You’ve said that anesthesia and amnesia are the two primary “sins” of modern society.

Weller: We go numb to try to cope with the fact that we have not been granted what we need to thrive. The levels of addiction in our society are off the charts
thesunmagazine.org/issues/478/the…
2/ and I’m not just talking about alcohol and drugs; I’m talking about shopping, working, sex. Addictions are an attempt to cope with intolerable states. The meager lives we are asked to live, in which we are often reduced to “earning a living,” are themselves intolerable.
3/ We are meant to have a more sensuous, imaginative, and creative existence. As children we are enchanted with the world, yet as adults we end up, as poet Mary Oliver said, “breathing just a little, and calling it a life.” That’s the anesthesia.

Wishing a Happy 86th birthday to the Metro Man E.Sreedharan, the man behind two of the greatest engineering projects in modern India- Konkan Railway and Delhi Metro, pulled off under the most challenging circumstances.
While Sreedharan is widely acclaimed for the Delhi Metro, for me the Konkan Railway was a far bigger achievement. One of the most challenging project, considering the terrain involved, to me wud be Sreedharan's greatest achievement.
And to think that Sreedharan was actually bought out of retirement for Konkan Railway, his tenure had come to an end in June 1990. It was the then Railway Minister George Fernandes who appointed him as CMD of Konkan Railways, and the rest as they say is history.

#Total CEO Patrick Pouyanné: [#Trump's] announcement on #Iran clearly is pushing the price up. And I would not be surprised to see $100 per barrel in the coming months because, clearly, you will have some impacts. 
#Oil #IranDeal
csis.org/analysis/conve…
#Pouyanné: we know we are back to the situation we were before the 2016 agreement, and in the meantime #Iran has grown its exportation by 1 million barrel(s) per day. So this 1 million barrel(s) per day is in question today.
#IranDeal
#Total CEO Pouyanné: We have decided to look to that project in Iran because of the #JCPOA, which means end of secondary sanctions. As soon as the U.S. decide to put back in place the secondary sanctions, there is no possibility for us to be a major company, a global company.

In 2016, Nintendo released the NES Classic; in 2017, they released the SNES Classic.
In 2018, Nintendo will release the N64 Classic; in 2019, Gamecube Classic; in 2020, Wii Classic; 2021, WiiU Classic; 2022, Switch Classic.
In 2023, Nintendo releases the SwitchX Classic, which will confuse many analysts, as the SwitchX (released 2021) is still on the market
