Jesus Christ... put it on full screen to get an idea of the scale of the ethnic cleansing. This whole area was incredibly densely populated, and the building they are taking the trouble to dynamite is already a ruin
It’s hard to believe this is all that’s left of Jabalia
This is how Jabalia camp is destroyed.
Everything was destroyed.

We expected to have to dedicate considerable resources to identifying the Israeli soldiers in photos and videos featured in our investigation into war crimes in Gaza.
Instead we found soldiers often posted material in their own names on publicly accessible platforms.

At MIT we built an entire course around the fact that billionaires + companies dont innovate, normal people do
We innovate to solve problems we or our communities face, then companies either form around, buy, or steal those innovations and sell them for profit

I'm a firm believer that profit motive is what actually stifles innovation. Companies won't take a risk on something that could provide genuine utility because it won't make more money than what they currently have
A certain amount of humans productive capacities are wasted on producing mass amounts of trash (like fast fashion) and then sorting through the trash. Whole human lives are spent doing this and you are worried about stifling innovation if we don’t have the profit motive.

“Hunter-gatherer” doesn’t actually describe how most civilizations related to production. “Hunter-gatherers” engaged in millennia of selective plant breeding & advanced landscape stewardship, which created wildly productive perennial gardens & managed hunting grounds www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
Study finds Indigenous people cultivated hazelnuts 7,000 years ago, challenging modern assumptions | CBC News
A new study indicates Indigenous peoples in what is now British Columbia have been cultivating the beaked hazelnut for thousands of years, challenging assumptions that pre-colonial Indigenous people were only hunter-gatherers.
