Notes today:

  • There is only three ways a smart person can go broke: liquor, ladies and leverage” - Charlie Munger

  • Scientists hail new antibiotic that can kill drug-resistant bacteria
  • Elon Musk defeats bid to be questioned in Tesla fatal crash lawsuit.
  • Elon Musk’s X is now worth less than a third of the price he paid for Twitter, according to Axios. 

  • Panama Canal: hundreds of vessels have been backed up at the critical shipping corridor, which handles $270 billion a year in global trade.
  • A controversial plan to fix the Canal could cost billions if it is even feasible. 

  • The United States does not have any reason to believe that Israel assassinated Hamas deputy leader Saleh al-Arouri in Beirut, State Department spokesman Matthew Miller told reporters in Washington on Wednesday. Seriously? 

Problem with these notes: some tend to run up against a deeply rooted feature of human cognition - the desire not to think about anything unpleasant…Sorry about that.

Btw, humans can only think about 4 things at once – according to the research team led by University of Oregon psychology professors Edward Awh and Edward Vogel. So, to help, we limit notes. 😉
