Prevail International Group has demonstrated, project after project, what professional execution looks like. This embarrassment at National Sports Stadium is the price Zimbabwe pays when inexperienced contractors are handed contracts they cannot honour." Look at it. Just look at it. The photograph now circulating on social media showing the... renovated toilets at National sports Stadium is not the image of a completed project. It is the image of a failure. Uneven tiled floors. Awkward, unnecessary stepped platforms in the middle of a bathroom. This is what happens when a contract meant for professionals ends up in the hands of the inexperienced. And the most painful part? It did not have to be this way.Prevail International Group was available. Prevail International Group has a proven track record. Prevail International Group has delivered, at scale, the kind of infrastructure work that Zimbabwe's public health system desperately needed. The Presidential Borehole Drilling Scheme. The Muroodzi River Rehabilitation. Village Business Units rolled out across rural communities. Hospital refurbishment programmes that actually looked like hospital refurbishments when the ribbon was cut. Prevail International Group, under its development mandate, has consistently demonstrated what professional project execution looks like in Zimbabwe. Their hospital refurbishment work at Parirenyatwa, Mpilo, and Mbuya Nehanda Maternity set a benchmark that other contractors have struggled to match. Clean finishes. Proper materials. Work that holds up not just on launch day, but weeks and months later when the cameras are gone. Instead, someone made a different decision. Someone awarded a contract funded by public resources to a contractor who clearly lacked the experience, the supervision, or the professionalism to deliver. The result is now viral on social media, being shared and mocked across platforms, an embarrassment to the facility, to the programme, and to Zimbabwe. There is a dangerous misconception that drives poor procurement decisions in Zimbabwe's public sector the belief that awarding a contract to a cheaper, less experienced contractor saves money. It does not. It never does. What you save on the contract price, you spend twice over on remedial work, on reputational damage, on the loss of public confidence in renovation programmes that are genuinely trying to make a difference. The authorities responsible for procurement at National Sports Stadium owe the public an explanation. Who was awarded this contract? What were the selection criteria? Who conducted the site inspections? And critically was payment released for work that looks like this? The lesson from National Sports Stadium is not that renovation programmes should stop. The lesson is that they must be entrusted to those who have already proven they can deliver. The right partner Prevail International was always there. The question is why they were not chosen.show more

When we say that the president is clueless and incompetent, this is what we will be referring to. In February 2020, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) barred Zimbabwe from hosting international football matches due to the substandard conditions of its main stadiums. An inspection conducted in November 2019 revealed that all of Zimbabwe’s stadiums failed to meet the required standards. The president was asked yesterday about this sad reality, and he did not even know that his national team has been playing home games in other countries like South Africa and Rwanda. It is so embarrassing, as this has been happening for over six years, but the CEO of the country doesn’t know about this! This is the man who wants a third term—to do what, really, other than looting public funds? The sports minister who presided over this embarrassment was yesterday elected to lead the International Olympic Committee, good riddance some Zimbabweans are saying, but spare a thought for the world sports!

Zimbabwean Member of Parliament for Chinhoyi, Leslie Mhangwa, was speaking at a Workers’ Day event when the microphone was rudely taken away from him by ZANUPF thugs who are part of the intelligence infrastructure. He was saved by members of the public who were listening to his address. Now, if a Member of Parliament is not allowed to speak at a public event addressing issues that are affecting workers, and the microphone is violently taken away from him simply because he has said that the inflation rate is not matching wage increases, and that is seen as a threat to the government of the day, what kind of society has Zimbabwe become? What about an ordinary person like myself or others? What would happen to us if this can happen to an elected official, a Member of Parliament who is speaking to the constituents who elected him, yet is not allowed to do so? These are the things that have turned Zimbabwe into a banana republic. These are the actions that continue to delegitimise our country’s standing internationally. You cannot have mob justice. You cannot have a mob turning up at an official event where a Member of Parliament has been given the floor to speak and is then treated like this.

For accuracy: Aidan’s affidavit was not impounded when it was first covered on online. This issue was expressly addressed during the hearing. The judge asked whether the affidavit was impounded, and defense counsel (Attorney Bradl) confirmed that it was not. The judge then stated that it was therefore a “public record.” The only remaining concern raised was whether the plaintiff’s address should have been removed. A temporary impoundment order was issued later in the hearing for the exhibits, at which point Bradl informed the court that some of the materials was already publicly available online. A public record is a public record. In Massachusetts, once a court record (like an affidavit) has already been lawfully made public—including be posted or shared on social media—impoundment of the official court record does not “unpublish” it or retroactively make the public version secret or inaccessible. The judge’s temporary impoundment order applies to the parties of record in the case. It is not surprising that Kate is so wrong on this point. She is doing exactly what the judge ordered must stop, and the judge certainly will not consider her meddling in his decision.

This messages is for Tom Homan and FBI director Kash Patel. A man by the name of Michael Sands who works at GSA and awarded a $2,000,000 contract that looks like a money laundering operation. This was the man awarding all of the contracts to the NGO who were trafficking children on behalf of HHS. Please follow Kayla’s work. Link is in the comments!

I watched this video posted by a tourist in Zimbabwe who has been promoting Zimbabwean tourism on his journey across the country. My first instinct was to ask, what is this? There are times when we do not just have to criticise, but must look for solutions. I think this is not a tourism problem, it is a policing problem that affects tourism, and it is a problem that does not just affect tourists but Zimbabweans as well who are driving across the country. The solution, in my view, is straightforward. When tourists enter our country, at the point of the border, they should be required to purchase all the necessary road safety paraphernalia demanded by the Zimbabwean police. First of all, I do not understand why one needs four triangles. Triangles are meant for when your car breaks down, you place one at the back and one at the front, that is two triangles. This tourist had three, yet he was told he needed four. I do not know why he needed four. But even if, for argument’s sake, he needed a hundred, then tell him at the border that he needs a hundred, and that there is a shop there selling them, even if it is a government-run shop. Make it a requirement that no motorist drives out of the border clearing area without the required triangles. They must buy them there and then. When they get to the exit gate, at that final clearing bay, they show the triangles and proceed, so that they do not encounter problems on the roads. If this is not done, you create situations like this one, where the Ministry of Tourism is dragged into an issue that has nothing to do with it, yet its work ends up being affected because of the ineffectiveness and lack of coordination among different government agencies. The requirement for triangles falls under the Ministry of Home Affairs, which superintends the police, so it must ensure that before any vehicle is cleared to leave the border, it complies. In most countries, you do not need four triangles. I have seen this absurdity in Zimbabwe only, and I experienced it. I own a car which has inbuilt reflectors, factory-fitted safety reflectors that perform the same function. Yet when you get to a Zimbabwean roadblock, they still want to see a separate portable reflector, even though the inbuilt system does the same job. This is a breakdown of common sense, and it does not just affect tourists, it affects Zimbabweans too. So instead of simply criticising, I chose to offer a solution. The responsible government agency and ministry must make it a requirement that any motorist entering the country has the stipulated triangles before they are cleared to leave the border. And if they do not have the four triangles, as required, as ridiculous as it sounds, there must be a facility at the border where they can purchase them and then proceed with their journey without harassment.

Kirsty Coventry was a brilliant Olympic swimmer. She is not an administrator. She does not have the capacity to do the job. She is the worst Sports Minister Zimbabwe has ever had. When we said it at the material time, people thought we were politicking. We were not. The evidence is right before you. For those who were in doubt, here is your answer. She is not capable of doing these jobs. It is like people who are brilliant footballers but will not necessarily make brilliant football administrators. The problem with various societies is that they assume because you were a brilliant swimmer, you are going to be a brilliant President of the International Olympic Committee. Just like a journalist, you can be a brilliant journalist, but it does not mean you are going to be a brilliant media owner. You can be a disastrous media owner and yet be a brilliant journalist because the two roles require completely different skill sets. Kirsty Coventry was good in the swimming pool. She is an incompetent manager. She is an incompetent administrator. This is self-evident from the disaster she left in Zimbabwe. She presided over the Sports Ministry for one and a half terms from 2018 to 2025, during which Zimbabwe could not play football inside Zimbabwe. Up to now, Zimbabwe’s home games are played in South Africa, sometimes in Rwanda. It is embarrassing, and it happened under her watch. She is simply incompetent. The failure, even at a small level like Zimbabwe, to ensure that stadiums in our country are functional, and to go to Cabinet and fight for those stadiums to be fixed, simply shows how incompetent she is. She was a brilliant swimmer, we cannot take that away from her, but she has been a disastrous manager. The tragedy is that many people are mesmerised by her past as a swimmer and then conflate that with the new roles she has taken up after her swimming career. Zimbabwe’s inability to host international football matches on home soil during her tenure was not a minor administrative detail. It was a national embarrassment that reflected weak leadership, poor coordination, and a failure to prioritise basic sporting infrastructure. Sporting excellence in the pool does not automatically translate into administrative competence in government or the international stage. The two require completely different skill sets, strategic planning, political negotiation, budgetary discipline, and institutional management. Being exceptional in one field does not guarantee effectiveness in another, and that distinction is precisely what many people refuse to make.

It is unfortunate that when they were buying oil at lower prices, the benefit was not passed on to the consumers. It was hoarded by the oil companies and the Government of India. Now when we are seeing a crisis like situation, instead of cushioning the problem being faced, they have gone on to increase the price. GoI should rollback this hike

Chas Freeman: Hamas is a resistance movement which has been resisting for 70 years absolutely outrageous treatment and Israel in many eyes has become an abomination on the face of the Earth. The Israelis have made it very clear—despite what some in the United States are saying—that they have absolutely no intention of ever permitting self-determination for the Palestinians. And yet without that self-determination, Israel cannot enjoy security and the Middle East as a whole will continue to be in a state of chaos. And so the world would like to see a two-state solution. I don’t believe at all that the Israelis wanted this attack but they have taken full advantage of it to do what they always intended which is to try to depopulate Palestine. So they have done this in a particularly brutal and highly objectionable fashion which is justifiably called genocide. And the Israelis simply do not understand that what they have done in response to October 7th has almost completely erased the international outrage that that attracted at the time. And Israel in many eyes has become an Abomination on the face of the Earth. Hamas is a resistance movement which has been resisting for 70 years absolutely outrageous treatment by Israel and the Israeli settlers. And Israel is a government, an elected tyranny, which tyrannizes and terrorizes the Palestinian population with the objective of expelling them from their homeland. No, there is no equivalence at all. What Hamas did is understandable. What Israel is doing is inexcusable. This is the view of the world. But what it has become is evil. And it is recognized as such almost everywhere now. Nobody shares the values Israel is now exhibiting: the racism, the murderous spirit, the utter inhumanity, the defiance of international decency, international opinion, and the rule of law. Nobody, nobody can sympathize with that. The Palestinians are just as entitled to self-determination and the right to defend themselves as Israelis are. You can’t have peace, we have learned, without addressing the Palestinian issue. And Israel remains determined not to address it except in terms of ethnic cleansing. That will not work. The notion that somehow or other the international community or Israel or the United States can wish Palestinian nationalism out of existence and impose a government on the Palestinians that they have not selected for themselves just won’t work. There must be democratic self-determination on the part of the Palestinians, and they, not Washington or Jerusalem or Tel Aviv, will be the ones to decide who governs them.

This is Waterfalls, a medium-density suburb in Harare, with big houses on large stands. In colonial times, it was mainly a white suburb. In London terms, you could compare it to somewhere like Croydon, and in Johannesburg to a place like Norwood. Now look at the road in this video. Here is the joke. The Minister of Transport, the man responsible for this disaster, was recently declared Minister of the Year in Zimbabwe. In other words, he was judged the best minister in the entire cabinet under Emmerson Mnangagwa. Just imagine how catastrophically useless the rest of them must be to be beaten by someone presiding over this level of decay. When we talk about incompetence, corruption, and the looting of public funds, some people think we are just politicking. This is what we are talking about. This is supposed to be a relatively affluent suburb. Yet motorists are forced to abandon what is meant to be the road just to get where they are going. Sometimes they have to drive on the wrong side because it is slightly less destroyed, and then they get fined for it. This is not an accident. This is what happens when a country is run by an incompetent, corrupt, and ruthless mafia. This is today’s Zimbabwe. Perhaps it is important for me to share a bit of history. When Zimbabwe became independent in 1980, roads were controlled, repaired, and maintained by local authorities, the city councils. When the ZANUPF government realised how much money was coming from motorists, they took over control of the roads and of the taxes that are supposed to ensure that roads are properly maintained. These include vehicle licence fees, tollgate fees on highways, carbon tax, and taxes from fuel. Every dollar spent at the fuel pump includes a portion that is supposed to go to road maintenance. This is a revenue stream close to a billion dollars every year. There is no shortage of money. Zimbabweans pay four different taxes just to own and use a car. The problem is that this money is looted. This is the money that should be fixing these roads. Instead, it is being stolen. They do not just steal the road tax money. They also steal from motorists again when people are forced to repair damage caused by this dilapidated road infrastructure, and then they congratulate the minister responsible with an award for it.

Hospice nurses say there is a quiet moment that happens in the minutes before someone dies, and most families sitting right there in the room do not recognize it until it has already passed. It is not dramatic, it is not loud, and it looks almost like nothing at all if you do not know what you are seeing or what to look for. Nurses who have sat with hundreds of patients at the end of life describe it as one of the most profound and tender things they witness in their entire careers. The hardest part is that most families only find out what that moment was after the fact, during grief, when it is too late to go back and be fully present for it. You deserve to know what to look for before you are sitting in that room, not after you have already left it. Share this with anyone who has a loved one in hospice care or who is walking alongside someone in their final days.

There is a morning in Texas when the sky stacks clouds like it means something and the pasture goes so green it almost doesn’t look real. The sun is already working. Ranch Santa Elena outside Madisonville delivered that morning. Steve Williams RegenBeef was already out with the bulls. Steve is the Genetics lead at Genetics@Beef.com, and if you have not heard his name yet, you will. He is the kind of man who does not announce himself. He shows up, he assesses, he works. That is the proof of work that earns a place in this movement, and Steve has earned his. The bulls at Ranch Santa Elena are not waiting. They are ready. Anyone who has spent time around cattle knows the difference between an animal that is settled and an animal that is prepared. These bulls are prepared. A short time from now, they make the trip to El Salvador, and when they arrive, they begin the work of building a foundation herd for a country that has chosen to take its food sovereignty seriously. That is not a small thing. Foundation herd genetics are a generational decision. Get them right and the country is building on solid ground for decades. Steve Williams understands this. He is standing in a pasture in Madisonville, Texas, looking at the animals that will carry that responsibility, and he is pleased with what he sees. So are we. The El Salvador partnership was built on peer respect and shared purpose. The Ministry of Agriculture came to the table as a sovereign nation serious about its food infrastructure. We came as a movement serious about ours. What is being loaded onto a trailer in a few weeks is not charity and it is not commerce. It is collaboration between people who understand that the integrity of a food system starts with the animal, and the animal starts with the genetics. Steve Williams knows that. Ranch Santa Elena knows that. The Beef Initiative has always known that. This is what is being built to carry forward. Introductions like this one. Proof of work in the field, not just on a screen. A genetics program that begins in Texas and lands in Central America with the weight of shared conviction behind it. Watch for Steve. Watch for these bulls. The foundation is being laid. We are Texas Slim™ Óscar Domínguez Satoshi

He is standing in a pasture in Madisonville, Texas, looking at the animals that will carry that responsibility, and he is pleased with what he sees. So are we. The El Salvador partnership was built on peer respect and shared purpose. The Ministry of Agriculture came to the table as a sovereign nation serious about its food infrastructure. We came as a movement serious about ours. What is being loaded onto a trailer in a few weeks is not charity and it is not commerce. It is collaboration between people who understand that the integrity of a food system starts with the animal, and the animal starts with the genetics. Steve Williams knows that. Ranch Santa Elena knows that. The Beef Initiative has always known that. This is what is being built to carry forward. Introductions like this one. Proof of work in the field, not just on a screen. A genetics program that begins in Texas and lands in Central America with the weight of shared conviction behind it. Watch for Steve. Watch for these bulls. The foundation is being laid. We are Texas Slim™ Óscar Domínguez Satoshi

Pedro Franceschi explains why Brex doesn’t hire “people managers” anymore One day Brex founder Pedro Franceschi made a list of all of the leaders at the company who worked and didn’t work. “I was trying to find what was predictive of leadership success,” he explains. “A lot of things are important, but they’re not predictive. For example, being customer obsessed is important, but there are people who were customer obsessed who were on both sides of the list.” The only trait that Pedro found to be predictive of leadership success at Brex was what he calls “the ability to operate at all levels” — someone who even at the highest levels of leadership has a deep understanding of the details of execution at the individual contributor level. What this means in practice is a CTO who is actually a great engineer. A Head of Design who can actually design amazing products. And a great Head of Sales who can actually go and close deals themselves if they need to. “It doesn’t mean that they’re going to do that all the time,” Pedro explains, “But it means that they know the nuances of what makes someone great at the craft… If you don’t know how to identify greatness because you don’t know what the bar is yourself, there’s no way to build a team that’s great.” He continues: “A lot of companies develop this role over time that people call a ‘people manager.’ They’re Director of Engineering but they can’t really code because they manage people now… And that concept is just something we eliminated. At the end of the day, there’s no way to manage people divorced from the work — you’re managing the work itself.” Pedro uses Jony Ive as an example: “Jony Ive wasn’t managing the team that designed the iPhone. He was designing the iPhone with a group of people. It’s simple, but it is a very profound change in how you orient your relationship with the work and what you put out there in the world. And I think you have to select for people who appreciate the actual output of the work and the work itself, not the process of doing the work… What matters is: Do you know what great looks like? Can you do it yourself? And can you bring people along with a really high bar for doing it at all level.” Video source: Kleiner Perkins (2025)

This is what it looks like when you complete the contract to open up the Stadium roof in Warzone. Can also find a weapon case inside the stadium that permanently unlocks a blueprint.

🚨 NEW: Fox’s Brit Hume on judge throwing out Comey and James indictments: “I think the White House is right in calling this a technicality. The judge didn’t rule on the merits in any way and did not say they are legally deficient.” “What they said was the wrong person brought them, someone who should not have been in the position to do that. That seems to me to be something that can be corrected and it’s possible, even likely, that these charges will be reinstated.” “That doesn’t mean that they will prevail in the end.. but so far what we have is the dismissal for now on what really is a bit of a technicality.”

This is the episode you’ve all been waiting for. This is the story of the #MartinLooterFund. Suppression is rarely a single act. It arrives as a lawsuit designed not to win, but to harass and abuse. It arrives as an offer, a lunch, a quiet suggestion that there's nothing to gain by pushing further. What the machinery of suppression counts on is the rational assumption that the story is not worth this. Your career is not worth this. Your family is not worth this. Your pain is not worth this. And in the cold calculation of survival, that logic is often correct. The corrupt men of the Philippines have more resources than the people exposing them. They have lawyers, and legislators, and cops, and judges, and NBI Directors, and the institutional patience that comes from never having to worry about next month's rent. But there is a version of this they have not fully accounted for. When the suppression is overwhelming — when they come with every weapon available, when the harassment is visible and the pressure is national — they have revealed themselves. The story they could not kill is now the story of how hard they tried to kill it. The record of their effort becomes the record of their guilt. But the journalist who publishes anyway, the media company who refuses to fold when the cost is real and the comfort is gone, does something that cannot be undone: they make the suppression itself proof of the story. Such is what happened five days ago when Franco Mabanta and four PGMN associates were set up in a malicious entrapment operation to frame them as extortionists — when in reality, no extortion happened. Franco was the one who was repeatedly approached, courted for two weeks, consistently lied to, and ultimately conned to make it LOOK LIKE EXTORTION. This is not romantic. It requires losing things. It requires losing friends, causing pain to family, and damaging one’s dignity. It requires knowing that the institutions that should protect press freedom often do not, that solidarity is inconsistent, and that vindication — if it comes — may come long after the damage is done. It requires being strong and resilient…and having to pay the price for being both. Franco and PGMN were willing to pay that price. Truth-telling at this level is not a calling that promises good outcomes. It only promises that the record will exist. That is what we are after by publishing this story. To put on record what Martin Romualdez has done to the entire country — and to show with clarity why he punished PGMN for wanting to expose his evil secrets. In this episode, we do what many journalists are too afraid to attempt: open the books of Congress, especially those books written by what almost all Filipinos consider the most corrupt House Speaker in history. Congress holds the power of the purse. Martin Romualdez wanted the purse itself. From unjustified budget padding to phantom savings, from chronic underspending to a cash hoard that keeps growing — this episode puts together a dangerous and infuriating picture that is impossible to ignore. Romualdez has activated his whole machinery — paid trolls, scammer influencers, dishonest mainstream media outlets, corrupted officials — to make sure this episode never sees the light of day. And the name of the one journalist who has chosen not cower to his intimidation and power is CJ Hirro. The ones who come with the most machinery to silence the media always have the most to lose. That's why they come. Today PGMN will give Romualdez what he is afraid of. We are publishing. We are insisting that he have his worst fear realized. For the motherland, this Mother's Day — this is the #MartinLooterFund episode. This is the story Martin Romualdez wanted to kill.

This video, shared by a Zimbabwean woman on social media, shows a deeply tragic reality of our country, Zimbabwe. She refers to this as an international road. What she means is that it is a road that connects Zambia to Zimbabwe and then onward to South Africa. It is a major international trade route. The government of Zimbabwe collects toll fees on this road. It collects fuel taxes from vehicles that use it. It collects road motor tax. In total, it collects several different taxes linked directly to this road and to the movement of goods and people along it. Yet the road is in this shocking state. This is not an ordinary road. It is a critical regional artery linking Zambia, Zimbabwe, and South Africa. And yet it has been allowed to collapse like this. At the same time, the President goes around distributing cars to comedians using public money. Anyone who chants “2030” gets rewarded with a car by the President. How does anyone justify the desire to extend a presidential term to 2030 while presiding over a broken road system like this, in an economy that is clearly not working. You do not have to be a ZANUPF supporter or an opposition supporter to see that this is wrong. We are all Zimbabweans. We all love our country, or at least we should. But this does not show love. This does not show pride. There is no pride in allowing an international trade route, a symbol of national sovereignty and economic seriousness, to deteriorate to this level. The money is there. It is being collected daily. But it is being abused. It is being looted. And anyone who defends this level of mediocrity is defending failure. I see some Zimbabweans, especially those who have just returned from Europe or America, posting videos claiming that everything is fine in Zimbabwe. They are lying to the world. Everything is not fine. It cannot be fine when an international trade route looks like this. How can anyone sincerely attempt to spin the reality of their own country through crude and dishonest propaganda. This is the Zimbabwe that exists today. This is the reality. If they cannot fix an international trade route, imagine the condition of other roads across the country. I have received many videos from Zimbabweans, including those based in South Africa who are currently at home, expressing shock at the state of the road network. I have not shared all of them because I am mentally tired with this. I am mentally drained from constantly documenting collapse. What makes this worse is the silence of the opposition. Those who claim to be the alternative do not talk about these things. I saw an opposition member of parliament praising the Minister of Transport as the top performing minister, the same minister responsible for this road system. The political elites of Zimbabwe have failed the people. It cannot be left to journalists to do political work while those who claim to be the alternative remain quiet as public funds are looted. This is deeply depressing. Not everyone has options. Our people are trapped and forced to live with this mediocrity every day. It is painful to watch my country go through this. I appeal to ZANUPF supporters. We all know that your party will still be in power after 2028. That reality is clear. But why can you not put pressure on your party’s leadership to address this state of affairs in our country? We do not hate ZANUPF supporters. We simply disagree with them politically. And even in disagreement, I am appealing to you to have a sense of pride in yourselves and in your country. Ask your own leaders difficult questions. Ask them whether this is how they want their political party to be remembered in history, in years and generations to come. Power without accountability leaves a dark legacy. No political party escapes judgment by history. The roads, hospitals, schools, and livelihoods left behind will speak louder than slogans. This is about Zimbabwe, not party loyalty.

#WATCH | Delhi | On India-Pakistan tension, Former Senior Diplomat, Yogendra Kumar says, "Operation Sindoor was the first attack we did on Pakistan to take revenge for the atrocities they committed in Pahalgam... The response that Pakistan then made was an escalation... On the international border, innocent lives have been lost and intense firing is increasing, so India has to respond to that clearly because it is a matter of national defence... The idea is that the military is ready to respond to anything and there is a proactiveism in diplomacy on the part of India at the highest level... The issue basically is terrorism... A statement was made at the UN that we have to fight terrorism. The world has to come together to see that what is so obvious... Where is Pakistan? Is it actually cooperating?... Everybody tells us to de-escalate, while we are only responding... We hope that with this international pressure, Pakistan will understand..." (09.05)

Elon Musk just told you the job is dying. Most people heard a prediction. A few heard a prison door opening. Musk: “In less than 20 years, working at all will be optional.” That is not a policy suggestion. That is a countdown. For three hundred years, the human blueprint has been identical. You are born. You move to the city. You rent a box near the office. You trade your body and your hours for the right to exist. You do this until you are old. Then you stop. Then you die. The entire model runs on one assumption. That human labor is the only engine. AI and robotics delete that assumption. When the machine handles production at a scale no human crew can match, the forced migration to the city evaporates. The commute evaporates. The cubicle evaporates. The alarm clock that owns your nervous system for forty years evaporates. Musk: “I think it won’t be the case that you have to be in a city for a job.” The city was never a choice. It was a requirement disguised as ambition. You moved to the noise and the concrete and the $4,000 rent because the paycheck lived there. Remove the paycheck from the equation and the geography changes overnight. You can live in the mountains. On the coast. In the silence of a town most people have never heard of. You can wake up to nothing but trees and cold air and the complete absence of anyone else’s schedule. That is not a fantasy. That is the math resolving. But here is where most people break. They hear “work is optional” and they see emptiness. A species with nothing to do. Billions of people staring at screens until their minds dissolve. That fear tells you everything about what the system has already done to us. We confused labor with purpose. The grind with meaning. The paycheck with proof that we matter. Musk: “In the same way that you could grow your own vegetables in your garden.” The analogy is precise. You do not grow tomatoes because the economy demands it. You grow them because something in you wants to build a thing with your hands and watch it come alive. That instinct does not disappear when the job does. It gets unleashed. The artist who spent twenty years doing accounting finally paints. The engineer who always wanted to build something of her own finally builds it. The kid in a small town who could never afford to take the risk finally takes it. Work does not vanish. Forced work vanishes. What replaces it is creation without a gun to your head. This is the part that keeps me up at night. We are standing at the edge of the largest liberation in human history. And the loudest voices in the room are begging to stay in the cell. They want the commute. They want the boss. They want the structure that tells them when to eat and when to sleep and when they are allowed to think about their own life. Because freedom without a template is terrifying. The next twenty years will not test our technology. The technology is already ahead of schedule. They will test whether the species can handle what it has been asking for since the beginning of civilization. Time. Space. Silence. And the unbearable weight of choosing what your life actually means when no one is forcing the answer. That is not a prediction. That is the final exam. And nobody is ready.

A very harsh threat, made by Netanyahu toward Iran. What is behind the heightened tone? It is not only harsh, it is also unusual. The event that took place in recent months was a paralyzing fear of what is called miscalculation. They will think that we will attack first, even though that was not the intention, and then they will attack, and the entire region will be dragged into another round of confrontation. In a region where there is fear of miscalculation, you are not supposed to announce this kind of thing in the Knesset. I just want to make that clear. Yesterday, Naftali Bennett promoted his press conference on the conditions of soldiers, okay? He gets six million views because the timing looks like a countdown and he is a former prime minister, so the Iranians are in hysterics that he is actually announcing that they are going to attack. That’s the atmosphere. So when Netanyahu attacks like this and makes an unprecedented threat—not only harsh but also unusual—one can’t help but think that for Netanyahu there is a message, or something more problematic than miscalculation. And he wants to warn the Iranians. Now, what’s the issue? The issue is that if the Iranians come to the conclusion that their regime is on the verge of collapse, there is one thing that might save them. And that is an attack on Israel. Because we saw during the war what is called “rally around the flag.” Even those who were in the opposition rallied around the flag when their country was attacked. It is not only the Islamic Republic that is under attack, but also the Islamic Republic of Iran. That is essentially the issue, and that is what Netanyahu, in my opinion, is trying to stop with the threat he issued after the security discussion.
