Very many people, parents and society force us to conform with their beliefs or expectations, but the times are rapidly changing. Just like from Darwinian law of evolution and natural selection, we either need to adapt and thrive or risk perishing. The choice is yours to make but the repurcussion if poor choices made will be Dire. Take a listen into my fascinating dialogue on the Rat race, hope you enjoy and resonate with it. Don't forget to share it too, if it impacts you positively.

Terraforming Mars and the next generation of frontier engineers, workers and The human spirit of Discovery

The dramatic inside story of the first four historic flights that launched SpaceX-and Elon Musk-from a shaky startup into the world's leading edge rocket company. In 2006, SpaceX-a brand-new venture with fewer than 200 employees-rolled its first, single-engine rocket onto a launch pad at Kwajalein Atoll. After a groundbreaking launch from the middle of the Pacific Ocean, the Falcon 1 rocket designed by Elon Musk's engineers rose in the air for approximately thirty seconds. Then, its engine flamed out, and the rocket crashed back into the ocean. In 2007, SpaceX undertook a second launch. This time, the rocket rose far into space, but just before reaching orbit it spun out of control. Confident of success in 2008, Musk and his team launched their third rocket with several paying customers. The first stage executed perfectly, but instead of falling away, it thudded into the second stage. Another failure. Elon Musk had only budgeted for three attempts when he founded SpaceX. Out of money and with a single Falcon 1 rocket left in its factory, SpaceX decided to try one last, dramatic launch. Over eight weeks, engineers worked furiously to prepare this final rocket. The fate of Musk's venture mirrored the trajectory of this slender, single-engine rocket aimed toward the skies. If it crashed and burned, so would SpaceX. In September 2008, SpaceX's last chance for success lifted off . . . and accelerated like a dream, soaring into orbit flawlessly. That success would launch a miraculous decade for the company, in which SpaceX grew from building a single-engine rocket to one with a staggering 27 engines; created two different spacecraft, and mastered reusable-rocket descents using mobile drone ships on the open seas. It marked a level of production and achievement that has not been seen since the space race of the 1960s. But these achievements would not have been possible without SpaceX's first four flight tests. Drawing on unparalleled access and exclusive interviews with dozens of former and current employees-engineers, designers, mechanics, and executives, including Elon Musk-Eric Berger tells the complete story of this foundational generation that transformed SpaceX into the world's leading space company.

The Structure of Scientific Revolutions is a book about the history of science by the philosopher Thomas S. Kuhn. Its publication was a landmark event in the history, philosophy, and sociology of science

ABOUT THE EPISODE Our lives are nothing more than what we make of them—that’s the flat truth of the matter. Personally, I (Steven Kotler) am incredibly fond of the flat truth of the matter. I think of it as the Great Dull Scorecard—the GDS. The GDS is the sum total of a very simple math: What did I do yesterday? What did I do today? This calculation is the real us, the no bullshit us, days into weeks into years into decades into destinies, because, as Anne Dillard reminds us: “How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.” I mention all of this as a way of saying, yes, the flat truth of the matter is that I wrote another book. The Art of Impossible: A Peak Performance Primer—this is the new book. It drops January 19, 2021. And the title? Not an exaggeration. What does it take to accomplish the impossible? That’s the question at the center of this book. What does it take to shatter our limitations, exceed our expectations and turn our biggest dreams into our most recent achievements? And when I say, “what does it take,” I’m not being theoretical. I mean, “what does it take?” step-by-step-by-step. The Art of Impossible is exactly that—it’s a practical playbook for peak performance. It’s also the end result of three decades of studying those moments in time when the impossible became possible. Game-changing breakthroughs, paradigm-shifting discoveries, nothing-is-ever-the-same again feats. During this period, to answer this question, I worked with elite performers in dozens of domains: sport and science, art and culture, technology and business, using the tools of psychology and neuroscience to work backwards to the pragmatic reality of how they pulled off the impossible. Everything I learned over this period has been systematized into an easy-to-follow, how-to format that anyone can use to significantly improve their lives and their performance. This is what Art of Impossible is about. It’s $27.99 everywhere books are sold BUT you can only get the book and a battle-tested set of Free Peak Performance Tools and Trainings at https://www.theartofimpossible.com/ And, if you order The Art of Impossible right now, you’ll get over $1,500 dollars worth of bonuses immediately dropped into your inbox.

JEFF BEZOS recently outlined his vision for making humanity a multi-planetary species during a secretive event in Washington DC. His vision revolves around the concept of rotating cylinders in space, many miles in length and breadth that were envisioned by Mr Bezos’ former Princeton professor, Gerard O’Neill. Living in these space-based human habitats, dubbed O’Neill Cylinders, or O’Neill Colonies, may choose to be “an easy choice” claims Mr Bezos, when faced with dwindling resources on Earth and climactic chaos. The habitats, reminiscent of the film Interstellar, could be built close enough to Earth to allow people to travel back and forth, and house “a million people or more each.”

This is part 2 and we'll discuss agile development products as well as Sustainable Technology means improving our social and environmental footprint at every stage of the product life, from raw material extraction to end of life. Our responsibility begins with the raw materials we use, which are all sourced in line with the latest environmental and social guidelines. A trillionaire is someone whose wealth is greater than one trillion dollars. That's a staggering amount of money for one person to have thus in this controversial episode we discuss all this and if a person should muster all this power and how we should transition to cleaner energy resources.

Take a listen into the deadly clash that ensued in the north Western district of Uganda, arua where Honourable Kyagulanyi was unlawfully captured by the special forces command headed by Museveni's own son and the violent clash that ensued after.

Uganda has had revolutionaries come with ideas on change and end up becoming the oppressors them selves. From Obote, Idi Amin and now Museveni. Take a listen at the tough questions Robert Kyagulanyi is asked if he'll endup just like them
