16:30 "But the only fatwa that has, in fact, said that no images of Mohammed are permitted, and that includes Islamic paintings, not just the cartoons, came out in 2013 in Saudi Arabia by a Salafi cleric whose name is Al-Munajid. And there are other fatwas like Asistani, the Shi'i cleric, who says these images are perfectly fine, as long as they're respectful."
20:00 Fatwas can be issued (like the above) in a vacuum without any real conversation within the Islamic community. Few years back even building a snowman fatwa as haram. Animals are decapitated in Saudi textbooks. People in 20th century having 14th century book that depicts a head, decapitating it (al-ras).
"You can see I have quite a lot notes I have to make."
This is a difference in mentality between Ryan Holiday and me (as well as Muhammed Ali Kilic)
@M.AKilic50
Our mentality (inspired by GTD and other standard productivity stuff, mostly Flow) is to avoid creating homework.
You don't HAVE to make notes on something. You select what you deem valuable and are interested in working with at the moment.
Because of the marginal gains effect I wrote about earlier, it doesn't matter if you don't make a lot of notes. Besides, you can always return later--especially with a proper bib card and potentially a custom index/ToC for a book.
A Zettelkasten is the lazy man's path to excellence.
(this is an ironic statement of mine because a Zettelkasten asks a lot of work over time. However, it doesn't have to be on a day to day basis. Plus you work only on what you want, hence it doesn't require that much discipline.)

When was this published on NBC News?

caffeine is an adenosine antagonist which reduces fatigue and lethargy (verbatim copy of Muhammed's annotation)
It will temporarily park receptors for the sleep inducing neurochemical of adenosine. Kind of making those receptors sleep themselves. Which reduces if not eliminated the influence of that chemical for a while.
1:04:00 What a beautiful story about how Dr. Ali Mattu started to realise his social anxiety was bullshit. Even the cool guy was doubting himself after his talk. This didn't matchup with Ali his perception of the situation (Ali thought he was swagger).

Ausführlicher Artikel zum Hintergrund der Entscheidung der Biden-Adminstration, den Bau der LNG-Terminals CP2 nicht ohne Überprüfung der Klimawirkung zu genehmigen. Zur Zeit haben die USA sieben LNG-Export-Terminals, fünf sind in Bau. CP2 wäre das bisher größte; es ist eines von 17 Terminals im Planungsstadium. Die USA sind weltweit führend beim LNG-Export und bei der Öl- und Gasproduktion insgesamt. CP2 soll, bei Baukosten von 10 Milliarden Dollar, 20 Millionen Tonnen LNG im Jahr verschiffen, 20% der US- Exporte. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/24/climate/biden-lng-export-terminal-cp2.html

Berdasarkan temuan di lapangan, di sentra keramik Sitiwinangun terdapat tujuh bentuk patung mitos yaitu Paksinagaliman, Singabarong, Macan Ali, Burok, Jatayu, Garuda Mungkur, dan Gajah Mungkur, yang sangat terkenal dan sudah menjadi ikon budaya Cirebon. Patung binatang mitologi Paksinagaliman merupakan hasil olahan bentuk yang berasal dari kereta kerajaan Cirebon. Patung-patung mitos tersebut yang pada masa lalu berfungsi sebagai simbol dari kosmologi masyarakat Cirebon sekarang sudah mengalami pergeseran hanya sebagi benda hias, dengan kualitas teknis dan estetis yang perlu ditingkatkan kualitasnya agar dapat menarik minat pengunjung atau konsumen.

patung Macan Ali sebagai perlambangan kekuatan masyarakat Cirebon yang terinspirasi dari keperkasaan dan kepahlawanan Sayidina Ali serta kalimat tauhid dalam Islam yang tertulis dan membentuk macan dalam bendera kesultanan Cirebon.
Patung simbolik Sitiwinangun
Selain produk keramik fungsi dan religi, ada juga beberapa patung keramik tradisional yang ditemukan di sentra kerajinan keramik Sitiwinangun dalam wujud Paksinagaliman, Macan Ali, Singabarong, Burok, Jatayu, Garuda Mungkur dan Gajah Mungkur yang apabila dilihat dari segi bentuk, gaya dan teknik secara umum dapat dikategorikan bergaya klasik dengan bentuk sebagai perwujudan dari ular Naga, burung Garuda, Gajah dan Macan (Gambar 12-14) dalam ukuran yang cukup besar (panjang dan lebar diatas 50 cm, berat lebih dari 10 kg). Patung-patung keramik ini merupakan budaya tradisi khas Sitiwinangun yang juga tidak ditemukan pada sentra kerajinan keramik lainnya di Indonesia. Pada awalnya patung keramik tersebut dibuat untuk tujuan simbolik sebagai pernyataan kekuatan dan penyatuan unsur-unsur kekuasaan dalam bentuk perupaan (Laili, 2007, hlm. 46)

"[Ali] was someone that fought a very similar fight and was trying to do what was right for the people. For me, to be able to have someone like that come before me, is huge. He is someone who helped pave the way for this to happen. What he did and what he stood for, people remember him more for that than they do a boxer. I can't let him die in vain. I have to try to carry that on and try to fight that same fight until we accomplish our goal."

DZ: Last question, do you have any sports and politics heroes? Who are political athletes whom today you’ve looked to as a role model or inspired you to do what you did? AS: Yeah. I’m actually trying to brush up on my history. Because that wasn’t something that was the focus during my high school or primary school education but in passing I have heard the words of Muhammad Ali and the stances that he took while he was a boxer.
