This is one of the best geography channels I've found on YT. I watched nearly every video on the channel. Highly recommend.
This channel has two types of videos: 1) biomes & geography of Earth, and 2) documentaries on individual countries. Both are great. I highly recommend watching all the biome videos. It's important to familiarize yourself with all the biomes present on this planet because they shape civilization and you will encounter them over and over again throughout your life as you travel.
Here are a few examples:
Start paying attention to how geography, biome, and climate shape civilization, society, culture, politics, and human activity in general. Start to realize that geography is the foundation for everything humans do. This will deepen your understanding of what's going on in the big picture.
I have a sense that peoples' understanding of geography and its influences is very poor, which then leads to all sorts of other ignorance. Geography is the foundation for human life and yet it's one of those things that easily flies under the radar of awareness. But no matter where on the planet you happen to be, you're situated within some kind of biome. You probably aren't even aware of what it is and its influence on everything around you.
My favorite biomes are rain forest, sand dunes, and swamps. Not for living in, but for their beauty.
The hairy frogfish is a prime example of the insane intelligence and deception behind survival:
If you traipse through life like a common fool, some human frogfish like Andrew Tate or Donald Trump will snatch you before you even know what's up. Human frogfish are preying on you every day. So beware. These frogfish are commonly found in marketing, sales, business, C-suite, financial services, legal, medicine, politics, media, Hollywood, sex work, and of course spirituality.
Of course spirituality is full of frogfish! Of course! That's the best place for them to hide.
The lowest and the highest levels of society tend to have the most frogfish. Some of the sneakiest frogfish are found around the highest concentration of wealth, power, status, fame, influence, and sex.
Survival is all about deception, illusion, and trickery. Especially in the case of a human. Don't be naive about this. If you are gullible enough to trust people, they will trick you.
Do not be that cardinal fish. That's my advice to you.
How do you not be a cardinal fish? By developing WISDOM. See my episode: What Is Wisdom? and How To Avoid Getting Scammed.
And beware, frogfish are not just individuals, frogfish also come as man-made mechanical systems, like academia, the military, the Catholic church, Wall Street, tobacco companies, Fox News, and Facebook.
Your job is to be wise to all the frogfish that lurk in the sea. And my job is to train your mind for that. Until eventually you come to realize that you yourself are a big fat frogfish.
A new investigative report by ConsumerReports.org reveals high concentrations of toxic plastics (bisphenols and phthalates) across a wide range of popular fast and supermarket foods.
Read here: The Plastic Chemicals Hiding In Your Food
Too bad their investigation did not include whole foods such as meats, fish, fruits, vegetables, and oils. That would have established a much-needed baseline.
The upshot of all this is to avoid food packaged in plastic and cans as much as possible. Above all else, make sure you avoid heating, cooking, and microwaving food in plastic. Replace everything plastic with stainless steel, glass, and wood as much as possible. And stick mostly to fresh and minimally processed foods.
Notice that fast food tends to have very high levels of plastics, not just because of the storage containers but also because it is prepared by workers with vinyl gloves, which shed very high levels of plastics.
YouTube Shorts are a plague upon your mind.
I suggest you do whatever you can to disable them.
Removing Shorts from your Youtube mobile app looks impossible.
When you're Awake and someone asks you if you believe in God:
If you're doing pickup, if you're going out to bars and nightclubs, make sure you wear hearing protection. Your ears are precious and you should treat this issue seriously. Protect yourself against hearing loss and the dreaded condition known as tinnitus (ringing in the ears).
It's worth investing several hundred dollars in ear plugs. Purchase and test out various brands and styles to find ones that fit you best.
Here are three of my favorites:
- Etymotic Research ER20XS
- Alpine WorkSafe Construction Earplugs
- Flents Foam Ear Plugs
(These are amazing for sleeping and wearing around the house.)
(Tip: you can use scissors to cut them down to size to fit you better.)
Here are others I've tried but didn't fit me as well:
- Etymotic Research ER20
- EarPeace PRO Music Ear Plugs
- Alpine MusicSafe Pro
- Earpeace Moto - Motorcycle Ear Plugs
You're not going to know what fits you best until you try like four different pairs. Don't be cheap, test out as many pairs as you need.
And once you find your favorite pair, buy multiples of it. You want to have enough pairs lying around so that you're never caught without them. Put a pair in your jeans. Put a pair in your jacket. Put a pair in your car. And so on.
If you have cash to spend and you live in the USA, you can order a pair of custom-molded earplugs for about $200:
