07/09/2021 - Eddie Meduza
He was the ultimate protest against the Swedish System. Sweden has since long time ago a government policy which reduce creativity and freedom to a level where total equality is standard. The Swedish citizen expect the government taking care of every being, from the kindergarten to the asylum. Even if the government makes the Swedes pay expensive taxes to cover the expenses of the so called “Swedish welfare”. It is meaningless to openly critic such system. Soon harsh words will fly like screaming seagulls; “elitist”, “nazi”, “egoist”. Then comes silence. You are frozen – by your kinsmen. You lose your job. You lose your family. You lose your mind. If you express yourself in the wrong way. Are you against... |

02/09/2021 - The perfect experts
In the year of 1615, the Catholic Church hired eleven ‘expert consultants’ and asked them to review the scientific work of Nicolaus Copernicus. Copernicus, of course, was one of the first scientists to propose that the sun (not the earth) was at the center of the universe. But even though Copernicus had been dead for more than 70 years at that point, his ideas still lived on... and were being advanced by none other than Galileo.

Diocletian’s edict infamously didn’t work, and the empire plunged into even more severe inflation.
The other big event of 301 AD was the introduction of the solidus gold coin, roughly 4.5 grams of nearly pure gold.
And while the Romans had a history of... |

21/08/2021 - YOU IN VIETNAM (1967)
American war veterans comment an “instruction movie”:
- Looks like a travel agency film. They kept the real Vietnam, that the military will be seeing, a total bad surprise.
- Convince them we are friends….I don’t remember being told that…I was told if it has two legs and not in a US military uniform good chance it’s the enemy.
- I was in the Corps from 1968-1972. In 1969 I was in Vietnam, we never saw any film like this! They gave us our gear and our M-16 and said go out and get them. No film was needed. That's just another example of waisted tax payers money that went down the...

21/08/2021 - A short lesson
A mouse was placed at the top of a jar filled with grains. It was so happy to find so much food around him that no longer he felt the need to run around searching for food. Now he could happily live his life. After a few days of enjoying the grains, he reached the bottom of the jar.
Suddenly, he realize that he was trapped and he cannot get out. He now has to fully depend on someone to put grains in the jar for him to survive.
Now he has no choice but to eat what he's given.
A few lessons to learn from this:
1. Short term pleasures can lead to long-term traps.
