@vivekagnihotri unfortunately we have enough evidence that keeps the so called ‘Scientific History’ of cabals including Irfan Habib, Romila Thapar exposed. I look to develop this into a thread to expose them in regards to rig-Veda dating. Shall follow in a while. 1/n
2/n @vivekagnihotri Rigveda is the oldest & the most important document of India’s past composed by Rishis & Rishikas. William Jones a judge to SC of Calcutta (1783) decided to pay close attention to Sanskrit as well as the Hindu Law.
3/n Jones’ translations of some Sanskrit texts appeared in Europe. To the extent that Friedrich Schlegel, an ardent member of the German Romantic Movement, posited in 1808 that in his opinion Sanskrit was the parent of all related languages.
History rarely lets us pin imperial decline to one man. But at the pace of American devolution, Trump’s name will likely be etched into the story,perhaps in faux gold.
The fall of empires follows patterns. What differs is how people respond to lost status.🧵
Some societies accept decline with realism & adapt.
Others suffer a kind of phantom limb syndrome, lashing out at a world that no longer bends to them. The Aztecs fell to Spanish power with resentment. Faced with diminishment its leaders chose destruction over accommodation. 2/5
After Appomattox, the American South followed similarly. Rather than rebuild, it invented the Lost Cause—turning defeat into myth & grievance into identity. Preserving hierarchy mattered more than prosperity.The result was a century of poverty,violence,& arrested development. 3/5
I want to explain the most misunderstood factor for Hyperliquid. If what I lay out is going to happen, the price will easily go to $350 this year. 🧵
Right now, everyone is overly fixated on the launch of the ETFs. The Hyperliquid ETFs are a drop in the bucket for the wall of capital that is going to hit the market
This is very straightforward if you understand global interest rates, fx, and the supply of money in the system. Most people have ZERO clue about how these markets function because they have never traded G7 rates. People think they understand liquidity because they traded Bitcoin during a dollar devaluation narrative but when asked about the most important input into macro liquidity, interest rates, they have no clue.
It is IMPOSSIBLE to have a view on macro liquidity and money in the system without understanding interest rates. These are two sides to the same coin.
Let me lay out this thesis very simply: 👇
Interest rates are all about the price you pay for money in the system. FX markets are the flip side of the coin, which is denominated the actual currency you are borrowing relative to other currencies and their respective interest rates.
Why does this matter for Hyperliquid? Because the largest markets in the world are all about interest rates and FX. Bitcoin and crypto are a drop in the bucket for large players who are managing massive balance sheets. If Hyperliquid can provide enough value via liquidity and low-cost leverage, then the largest players in the world will start moving more capital onto the platform to transact in the most important markets, interest rates, and FX.
Simply put, if you have enough liquidity on your platform, the price you pay for leverage can be LOWER than what you might pay somewhere else. Simple example: If you need a mortgage for your house, you are going to try to get the best rate possible. This is you trying to find the "cheapest leverage" possible in the system. If someone offers you a lower interest rate, with no trade offs, people will take it. Many brokerage accounts compete with each other on the margin rates you have to pay in order to use the firms margin.
The same dynamic is true for Hyperliquid. If they can provide attractive margin rates (or what we can funding rates on Hyperliquid), then this is the real value proposition for Hyperliquid. While everyone is focused on ETF flows, you want to ask what are the drivers of value that would catalyze the flows of the largest players to begin using Hyperliquid every single day.
Clearly, the regulatory constraint is holding capital back like a dam holding back water that wants to pour into a new market. But the most important thing to understand is that if the funding rates for interest rates and FX are low enough on Hyperliquid, this begins to attract capital from the largest players in the world. This especially attracts capital from the entire Eurodollar market that is constantly trying to hedge the surplus of dollar liquidity that is in the system due to the dollars reserve currency status and the historic level of trade the US has conducted which has pushed an unprecedented level of dollars through the entire system.
This flow mechanism connected to the larger macro picture is WHY I am so bullish on Hyperliquid. Notice that functionally, no one else has talked about this. They think this is just the regular "crypto cycle" where you buy momentum and fade the price once everyone starts talking about it on the timeline.
The place we are at with Hyperliquid is actually taking advantage of the biggest blind spots for both people in crypto and people in traditional markets. Crypto people have been conditioned to just think in terms of pump and dumps instead of value creation and flow mechanics in the global interest rate complex. Traditional finance people have functionally dismissed crypto as something that is worthless because no one has really provided true value that has lasted.
This is why I wrote this article on the blindspot that existed earlier this year, before Hyperliquid made its massive YTD rally: x.com/Globalflows/st…
There is a reason that no one is talking about these mechanics. The crypto influencers or VC establishments won't talk about it because they didnt get to invest in Hyperliquid before it launched or get a crypto allocation to schill. On the flip side, the largest institutions won't talk about Hyperliquid because they dont want to draw attention to a market that they havent established a dominant positioning in yet.
"Do you mean to tell me you've finally established a position, so you can price mine?" - The Big Short
My job is a trader. I get paid to hold risk and I have established a position in $PURR which is the largest Hyperliquid treasury company and the only treasury company in the world with a positive P&L right now. It is up over 140% since I originally published the view (see my pinned tweet). But we have only just begun to price what is possible for Hyperliquid and what is possible for $PURR.
Once you realize that Hyperliquid sits in a massive gap in the tradfi and crypto space, then you will realize why $PURR sits as the bridge to BOTH of these.
I continue to hold my $PURR position and it is my strong conviction that Hyperliquid will have a significant rally beyond anyone's expectations and $PURR will be the direct beneficiary of this in addition to adding additional shareholder value on top of HYPE returns.
There are several things that you need to know in order to navigate these changes in Hyperliquid: 1) Understand that we are in a credit cycle melt up that in its very nature is currently sowing the seeds of its own demise. None of this will end well given the amount of liquidity that is in the system but first we are melting up MUCH MUCH HIGHER. 2) Hyperliquid underlying drivers in its value proposition that could catalyze capital aggressively moving onto the platform to access cheap leverage. 3) All of the signals for positioning in global risk assets, interest rates, Hyperliquid, and $PURR.
I will be providing an entire playbook for #1-3 in a livestream tomorrow at 8:30am MST. You will walk away with a playbook for the credit cycle, a model with the code included on mapping funding rates on Hyperliquid, and Tradingview models for monitoring the positioning signals. This will be 100% free for everyone who is a subscriber here. I will send out the links tonight and resend them tomorrow morning so no one misses it: capitalflowsresearch.com/subscribe
Below, I will link the most important tweets and videos I have done thus far that you should review before the livestream tomorrow
Super excited to share this work. We RL an LLM on a completely new narrow task and extract activation directions for "I did a good / bad action". We find these vectors modulate behavior in all kinds of other situations, align with emotion vectors and track goals.
🧵
The task is a maze navigation environment designed to be as novel as possible. We wanted to see what the RL does specifically, and avoid any correlations from pretraining priors.
We extract activation directions (concept vectors) associated with rewarded and punished vectors in the maze.
We find that steering with these vectors modulates seemingly unrelated behaviors: did a bad action → negative sentiment, backtracking, low confidence, refusal.
During a hiatus from recording music, Rollins was spotted at the Williamsburg Bridge almost every day, no matter the season, practicing his saxophone. This experience inspired him to create an album titled 'The Bridge,' released in 1962.
Here's a thread about Sonny Rollins' connection to the Williamsburg Bridge. 🧵
In 1958, Sonny Rollins was at the height of his career. At 28 years old, he had already released 20 albums and was one of the most celebrated saxophonists in the jazz scene. Despite his accolades, he felt his talents fell short of his standards. So he stopped. Rollins removed himself from the scene and took a three-year sabbatical to improve. (left photo via Getty, right photo via Diane Hocker)
Starting in the summer of 1959, Sonny Rollins (who, a year prior, had been headlining jazz sets across the country) began to perform alone on the Williamsburg Bridge. Passersby were surprised to see the legendary saxophonist atop the bridge, playing away at odd hours and to seemingly no one at all.
Graham Platner, the phenomenon not the man, is fascinating social science experiment.
Among many other things, it demonstrates the robustness of the despite-because conflation.
Before you rush to explain this as partisanship, remember Al Franken. Before you rush to explain this as weakness for phoney white grizzled masculinity, remember Fetterman.
The reason so many liberal elites fell for Platner and just can't quit him is something else...
Platner's obvious problem with Jews (tattoo, Gaza, AIPAC) was what made him for elites like the pod bros an image of bravery, someone standing up to the powerful bad guys.
His cult is with the liberal elites (glowing profiles in the Times, New Yorker &c) not rank and file.
Uma desilusão.
Em nome da transparência, deixo-vos o resumo AI da penúltima reunião, onde tudo parecia bem encaminhado 🧵
Participantes:
O Vosso Rui
Marco Silva
Carla, Contabilidade
Um microfone que ficou ligado sem querer
A reunião começou com 12 minutos de atraso porque O Vosso Rui estava a tentar meter “fundo do Estádio da Luz” no Zoom. Acabou por escolher “praia tropical”, por lapso.
Marco Silva perguntou qual era o projeto desportivo.
O Vosso Rui respondeu: “Ganhar, mas com serenidade.”
A Carla interveio e explicou objetivos, orçamento, massa salarial, prémios, margem para equipa técnica e impacto fiscal.
Marco tomou notas.

Here are 14 life-changing ND accommodations that are stupid-simple but way too underused:
1. Listen to fast music during tasks you want to finish quickly (shopping, cleaning, getting ready, walking to the gym). Your body follows rhythm faster than your mind follows intention.
The most nutritious food isn't the one that rots in your fridge because you can’t mentally or physically handle preparing food.
3. Use objects as memory cues.
For many ND brains, “out of sight, out of mind” isn't just a funny phrase.
Use trays, hooks, clear boxes, open shelves, and one visible “don’t forget this” spot instead of forcing your brain to remember things from inside a drawer.
A woman walked into Verizon ready to change her phone number after 12 years.
She was getting 47 spam calls a week. Robocalls at 7am. Scam texts during meetings. Voicemails in Mandarin selling fake insurance.
She had blocked 200+ numbers. Reported them to the FTC. Downloaded three different spam apps. Nothing worked.
The calls kept coming.
She filled out the number change form and slid it across the counter: "I just want a clean start."
The rep looked at the form, then back at her phone.
"Before you lose your number forever, let me show you something. Your number isn't burned. It's exposed. There are 18 ways they're tracking you right now. The carriers won't tell you this because the data broker ecosystem pays them. Let's fix it."
Here's what he showed her in the next 11 minutes:
1. The "Decline Button" Trap
The Situation: Your phone buzzes. It’s an unknown number from a state you don't live in. Annoyed, you immediately hit the red "Decline" button. You think you are asserting control, rejecting the interaction, and protecting your valuable time.
The System: You need to realize that modern autodialers are not humans sitting in a cubicle hoping for a chat. They are predictive algorithms looking for a single data point: a human signal. When you hit decline, a SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) response is sent back to the server in milliseconds. You just sent an instant, undeniable confirmation that this phone number has a live, active human attached to it who is currently looking at their screen.
Why it works: The algorithm immediately upgrades your number from "unverified" to "premium active target." You will now be sold to other scammers for a higher price. The solution? Let it ring. Let it go to your voicemail organically. Do not press a button. Give them zero biological or digital response. You stay completely invisible to the detection algorithm.
The Takeaway: Stop confirming your existence. Start ghosting the machines.
2. The "STOP" Text Illusion
The Situation: You receive a generic, poorly spelled text message about a "locked" Amazon account or a delayed USPS package. At the bottom, it says "Reply STOP to opt out." You angrily type S-T-O-P and hit send, thinking you've legally forced them to leave you alone.
The System: Legitimate, highly regulated marketing agencies are bound by the TCPA (Telephone Consumer Protection Act) to honor your opt-out request. Offshore scammers operating out of unregulated jurisdictions use "STOP" as a tripwire. When you reply, the automated system logs a massive victory. It proves the number is active, the user reads SMS messages from unknown senders, and the user is willing to engage. Your number’s value on dark web marketplaces just skyrocketed.
Why it works: You must never engage with unsolicited texts. Do not reply. Do not click. Instead, swipe left on the message and hit "Delete and Report Junk." This action bypasses the scammer entirely and feeds the metadata directly into your carrier-level spam filters, helping to poison the scammer's infrastructure.
The Takeaway: Regulatory compliance is a myth in the criminal underworld. Silence is your only true shield.

The teamcar leaves Kelderman behind; the story of the 2020 Giro. 1/39
#cyclingiceberg
The 2020 season was disrupted by covid-19. Many races were rescheduled, the Giro was one of those. It took place in October for the 1st time. The startlist wasn't particularly strong, as most teams sent their A-team to the Tour, unsure if races later in the year would happen 2/39
Tirreno-Adriatico, held in September, gave an indication of who the favourites would be. Simon Yates (Mitchelton) won the race, with a swift attack in the only mountain stage. Yates had previously won the 2018 Vuelta, and come close to the Giro win that year. 3/39
Gli sperperi di denaro pubblico post terremoto dell’Irpinia sono ormai entrati nella storia di questo Paese.
Una brutta storia, riassunta in dieci volumi presentati al Parlamento il 5 febbraio 1991 e inviati a varie procure da una commissione d’inchiesta presieduta da Scalfaro.
La commissione aveva il compito di verificare l’ammontare dei finanziamenti per la ricostruzione delle zone colpite dal sisma del 1980.
Di più.
Doveva controllare lo stato di avanzamento dei lavori, le modalità, l’impatto ambientale e territoriale.
Sull’impatto territoriale i tecnici del servizio Impatto ambientale del Min. dell’Ambiente parlarono chiaro: “la scelta dei tracciati dove ricostruire case, industrie e strade è avvenuta indipendentemente dalle condizioni geomorfologiche, geologiche e geotecniche dei terreni.
Architecture Of Silence V - Mental Cleansing and Chakra Opening Exercises
A sanctuary requires a steady flame to truly come alive. To vivify your inner space, you must now learn to purify the mental terrain and actively circulate light through your primary centers of force.
🧵
Every day, the mind gathers debris from the material world. Thoughts, anxieties, and random impulses clutter the workspace of the spirit. Before any deeper work can begin, you must establish a strict practice of mental vigilance to reclaim control over this chaos.
Sit or lie down comfortably, keeping the spine aligned to ensure an unimpeded flow of awareness. Close your eyes and withdraw entirely from the outer world. Instead of forcing a blank void, simply open your internal screen and prepare to observe your own mind.
