Repeated Mining Charter changes and unclear ownership rules. Constantly changing and ratcheting up of BEE equity requirements. Slow, inefficient and corruption tainted licensing processes. Decades long black outs and elec prices rocketing 3x inflation. The results are clear for all to see. Our mining sector has drastically declined while we places like Aus leave us in the dust.

@EndWokeness Yes, the final was boring, but soccer can be fast paced and action packed. Case in point from yesterday's game. 👍

Major cheat code for life: The ability to recognize things that don’t matter. The world will pressure you to care about every single thing. To chase every problem. To take every slight personally. To have opinions on everything. Reject that trend. Focus on a few, ignore the rest.

Elon Musk was asked by a room full of Stanford students what single trait separates people who change the world from people who don't. Everyone expected him to say intelligence. Or work ethic. Or vision. He said pain tolerance. The room wasn't sure if he was joking. He wasn't. He explained that intelligence is common. Ambition is common. Even good ideas are relatively common. What is genuinely rare is the ability to absorb punishment day after day, year after year, and keep building anyway. He said most people he's met who are smarter than him quit after the first real failure. Not because they weren't talented. Because the pain of failure exceeded their tolerance for it. They found something easier and redirected their intelligence there. He said the entire history of SpaceX is just a story about absorbing explosions, literally and financially, and refusing to interpret them as signals to stop. Nobody writes that on a motivational poster. Nobody puts "pain tolerance" on their LinkedIn profile. But it's the actual filter. Not who can dream the biggest. Who can bleed the longest.

The Argentina come back against Egypt is one of the best matches in football history. I analyzed ~50,000 games with Fable to show just how crazy it was. Of the 10,138 times that a team has been up 2-0 at 79', only SIXTEEN times (0.16%) did they ever make a come back at the end of 90 minutes. This is the first time it's happened in a World Cup.
