Another Nazca geometric geoglyph. This one is absolutely wild! This might be the first video of it. Make sure you watch in 4K to see all the details! Whoever made this must have had a lot of time on their hands. It’s a shame it’s been partially destroyed by...

Nick Saban was asked a question after practice once. His response was 70 seconds of gold on what it takes to be successful in life. Here’s Saban on the Illusion of Choice: “These guys, they all think they have this illusion of choice. Like I can do whatever I want to do. “You have a younger generation now that doesn’t always get told no. They don’t get told this is exactly how you need to do it. So they have this illusion that they have all these choices. “But the fact of the matter is, if you want to be good you don’t really have a lot of choices. It takes what it takes. You have to do what you have to do to be successful. “You have to make the choices and decisions to have the discipline and the focus to the process of what you need to do to accomplish your goals. “All these guys that think they have a lot of choices are sadly mistaken. As we all have done with our own children, they learn these lessons of life as they get older. “Sometimes the best way to learn is from the mistakes you make, even though we all hate to see them have to make them, and we don’t condone it when they do.” – I’ve studied Saban for 12+ years, and the Illusion of Choice is one of the most powerful concepts I’ve come across. Some key takeaways: 1. Excellence has a price. We can complain about that, but it’s a fact of life. 2. Most people don’t want to pay that price. They just haven’t admitted it to themselves. 3. Saying you want to be excellent is easy. Becoming excellent is hard. 4. There may not be one way to become great, but there are very few. And they all have discipline and consistency in common. 5. Every action we take is a choice. We’re choosing to make progress, or we’re not. 6. The formula for becoming successful: Your Daily Choices x Time. It’s simple, but we make it complicated. 7. Sometimes we learn more by making the wrong choices. Reflect on them, pull out the lessons and move on. 8. You have to choose what you do every day. Don’t follow your feelings. Choose to do what will make you better. 9. There are no long-term hacks. It takes what it takes. ||| Hope this is helpful. Follow me Teddy Mitrosilis for more writing.

Hirokazu Koreeda on how he directs Children: "Interviewer: I think 'Shoplifters' (2018) is very remarkable in showing different sides of a city and like you said, people who are pretty much invisible, but I do want to also commend you on another thing, is you often work with young actors, and they always tend to have a significant role in many of your films. How do you go about finding such dynamic young actors, and why do you often put these young people at the center of each one of your stories? Koreeda: First of all, I would say that I tend to make what I would call family dramas, and of course, you have to have children if you’re creating a family, but that’s how it started, but I found that as I did it, I became really interested. It became very interesting and fun to work with these children, and for example, the two children in this film, neither of them had any acting experience at all before this film. I brought them in, and what I find when you bring these children in, and you work with them is that the adult actors change. They become much more lively and natural in the way that they act, and I guess, at some point, I realized this, and I guess, became really attracted to the idea of having children and the impact that it had. Interviewer: Do you find that there is any struggle in terms of working with young actors, or in this case, young children who have not actually acted before? Koreeda: Just to clarify, I have worked with children in many of my films, and all of them have never had experienced before. I always go out and pick non-acting children to work in my films, so just, I wanted to put that out there. In terms of the struggle, it does take time. You have to give extra time to work with these children. When I choose these children, I have an audition, and I pick out who I want to the audition, and then when we get to set, I never give them the script. No child that I’ve worked with has been given a script beforehand, and when I get to the actual part where they’re going to be acting, I give them the lines myself, and work with them and coach them. What I find is that it’s actually really enjoyable, both for them and for myself that way. I also, because I’ve been doing this now for several years, I tend to have a fairly high success rate in choosing children that are able to work with me in that way. Interviewer: That’s fascinating, and it also shows how you are able to create such authentic performances from these child actors over and over again in so many of your films. I think it’s a unique gift that you have, and it’s something that very few directors, I think, here in the United States do. Koreeda: It’s true, I guess by working with these children, I learned. I discovered that the best way to do it was just to communicate verbally their lines, rather than giving them in a written format, and over time, this really worked, and so I just kept doing it. But, interestingly, I loved the movie 'Kramer vs Kramer' (1979), directed by Robert Benton, and one time I bought the movie with all the extra, the making of and everything, and I went over it, and I found through that, that in fact, the child in that movie was also given his lines every day by the assistant director each morning when they came in to set, so I discovered that it wasn’t just me that was doing this."

Whitney Webb: "A lot of people forget... the ban on propaganda being used domestically against Americans was lifted under the Obama administration... now with all of this extreme media consolidation by this specific cabal of billionaires and oligarchs, the propaganda is already bad[, and] I would argue... is going to get even worse." This clip of Webb (Whitney Webb), author of One Nation Under Blackmail and contributing editor of unlimitedhangout, is taken from an interview with Chris Hedges (Chris Hedges) posted to YouTube on October 22, 2025. ----------------Partial transcription of clip--------------- "There's an unprecedented effort of course, to propagandize the American people, to have us willingly walk in and support and consent to these systems being installed, because a lot of people forget. But the ban on propaganda, being used domestically against Americans was lifted under the Obama administration. And now with all of this extreme media consolidation by the specific cabal of billionaires and oligarchs and the, the propaganda is already bad, I would argue, but is going to get even worse to get people to consent to these systems specifically. "And I think a lot of what we're going to see is going to be sort of a repeated trope of what we saw on the War on Terror. We have to give up all of our all of these new freedoms, or all of these freedoms and things like that, because we have to go after Al Qaeda and get them at all costs. But now, you know, 20 plus years later, you have you know, the head of Al Qaeda in Syria being given a diplomat, you know, I don't even know what to call it. It's so ridiculous. Like a red carpet welcome to shake hands with David Petraeus and all of this. "So we lost all of our freedoms, but now Al Qaeda is just, you know, let's, let's shake hands and let them come to the UN while we don't let anyone from Palestine come. I mean it's totally insane. So I think it's quite possible that given that we're seeing this effort to gin up a war on domestic terrorism yet again, we're going to be, given another invisible enemy, and told that we need to give up all of these remaining freedoms and civil liberties to go after the domestic terrorists and that it's going to be, you know, unfortunately a lot of the depravity that we witnessed during the War on Terror, but directed domestically, hence the name domestic terrorism. "And I think you can argue that was always the plan post 9/11. A lot of the stuff was focused domestically. Before 9/11 there were efforts to pass DHS as the National Homeland Security Agency. It stalled in Congress, of course, after 9/11, no longer stalled. And so DHS was created, in a lot of these, you know, security agencies. And the expansion of the national security state in general has also, you know, had a lot of tentacles domestically. "And I think Americans have been naive that a lot of the evil, that that national security, security state has done abroad would never be used against them. And I think that, you know, we need to be very aware of what is going on here, and that the Deep State, if you— whatever you want to call it, is expanding. And it's expanding in the hands of private oligarchs that have a very dangerous political vision that is rarely talked about."
