  The Oyo Empire, one of the most powerful and influential states in West Africa, has a rich and complex history that spans centuries. Located in what is today southwestern Nigeria, the empire was a major force in the region, known for its military prowess, sophisticated political system, and extensive trade networks. The history of the Oyo Empire dates back to the 14th century, when it emerged as one of the leading Yoruba kingdoms in the area. Over time, Oyo became a dominant power in West Africa, shaping the political, economic, and cultural landscape of the region. 
  At its height, the Oyo Empire controlled a vast territory stretching across modern-day Nigeria and parts of Benin and Togo. The empire was strategically positioned along important trade routes, allowing it to thrive economically and maintain strong ties with neighboring kingdoms. Its economy was based primarily on agriculture, with crops such as yams, millet, and sorghum being grown in abundance. Additionally, the Oyo people were involved in long-distance trade, exchanging goods like kola nuts, textiles, and metalwork with other African states and even European traders. 
  Politically, the Oyo Empire was an advanced and well-organized state. The Alafin, the emperor of Oyo, was the supreme ruler and held significant authority over the empire. However, the Alafin did not rule alone. The Oyo Mesi, a council of chiefs, played a critical role in governance, advising the Alafin and ensuring the balance of power. This system of governance allowed the empire to remain stable for centuries, even as it faced external threats and internal challenges. The military was also a key component of the empire’s strength, with the Oyo army being one of the most formidable in West Africa. The empire’s military success was due in part to its highly disciplined forces, as well as the use of cavalry, which gave it a tactical advantage over its enemies.

  Survival of the Richest - Escape...

  Douglas Rushkoff

  The tech elite have a plan to survive the apocalypse: They want to leave us all behind. 
   
  Five mysterious billionaires summoned theorist Douglas Rushkoff to a desert resort for a private talk.  
   
  The topic? How to survive the “Event”: the societal catastrophe they know is coming. Rushkoff came to understand that these men were under the influence of The Mindset, a Silicon Valley–style certainty that they and their cohort can break the laws of physics, economics, and morality to escape a disaster  
  of their own making—as long as they have enough money and the right technology. 
   
  In Survival of the Richest, Rushkoff traces the origins of The Mindset in science and technology through its current expression in missions to Mars, island bunkers, AI futurism, and the metaverse. In a dozen urgent, electrifying chapters, he confronts tech utopianism, the datafication of all human interaction,  
  and the exploitation of that data by corporations. Through fascinating characters—master programmers who want to remake the world from scratch as if redesigning a video game and bankers who return from Burning Man convinced that incentivized capitalism is the solution to environmental  
  disasters—Rushkoff explains why those with the most power to change our current trajectory have no interest in doing so. And he shows how recent forms of anti-mainstream rebellion—QAnon, for example, or meme stocks—reinforce the same destructive order. 
   
  This mind-blowing work of social analysis shows us how to transcend the landscape The Mindset created—a world alive with algorithms and intelligences actively rewarding our most selfish tendencies—and rediscover community, mutual aid, and human interdependency. In a thundering  
  conclusion, Survival of the Richest argues that the only way to survive the coming catastrophe is to ensure it doesn’t happen in the first place.

  A complete stillness - 25 August 1965 
  • Is there a single movement that will completely transform my whole way of life? 
  • The passion is there but the perfume doesn’t take place. What am I to do? • Am I in a position of a man who for the first time is walking on a road by 
  himself and discovering? 
  • Does one know what a complete stillness means? 
  • It is only from a very still mind that a mutation takes place. 
  • Is there an ending to thought, therefore an ending to time? 
  • If I have no thought and therefore no time, and so no wasting of energy, there 
  is no movement, therefore there is complete stillness.
