- Motul 10W40 - for bike
- Motor oils have
aWx
grade. W stands for winter that means the value of a will be the viscosity of your engine oil at the moment your bike starts from a standstill. Whereas, once your engine gets heated up, the oil changes its viscosity to the x grade. The higher the grade the more viscous oil will be. - Eg: For 10W40 oil, when your engine is cool it will have a 10 grade viscosity. Once your engine is hot, the oil will become thicker (40 grade in viscosity)

- Wallace Line - Geography
- There’s an ancient boundary in South-East Asia that doesn’t separate countries or continents…but animal species.
- Called the Wallace Line, it’s an invisible divider that runs through Indonesia and separates Asian fauna such as rhinos, elephants, tigers and woodpeckers from Australian species like Komodo dragons, cockatoos, and honeyeaters.

- So many vloggers on youtube
- Selling escapism
- Most Indians see youtuber as an earning platform not a creative platform
- Most consumers are fans/followers, they consume anything (a senseless talk about how they didn’t get the grocery, really?)
- Are creators mediocre because consumers consume mediocre content, or they have run of ideas, or less hard work?
- Rule of thumb: what are you watching for, for the creator or for the content? Watch for the content.
- Youtuber rating system: Change youtuber rating basis their last video’s performance (likes/dislikes ratio, views etc.)
- Youtube content is not free, you are paying it with your time
- Most consumers are fans/followers, they consume anything (a senseless talk about how they didn’t get the grocery, really?)

- Hookup Culture and Modern Feminism
- Sadhguru - fake spiritual guru
- Sadhguru on Ram and Sita
- He asks what kind of man do you want in your life? The man walked all the way, fought a battle, burned down a city to get back his wife
- Yes, he fought, waged a battle, but I don’t think it was purely for his wife, it was for himself too, for his pride. Raavan kidnapped Sita to hurt Ram, women in those ages (even today) were a prized possession.
- He put his duty towards his people before his duty towards his wife. If the counterargument is - he fought a battle to save his wife, so no ^
- That was the norm back then - a very cruel patriarchy society. He did best out of these norms. You judge by the norms of the society, say we lived in a world where you are praised for how many people you kill, a peaceful person would be a very bad example in the society. Society wants examples of characteristics they want to inculcate and history remembers people who are great examples.
- Currently our society is divided into extreme patriarchs (disguised under the name of religion) and extreme feminists.

- Kevin spoke with his early users as to what they like about burbn, why do they use it, they said its because of photo sharing. He built filters because his user told his photos are not that great. - Story of Instagram
- Reacting on Random videos - feminism
- World works on capitalism and not on values like equality - hence there is no equal pay. What brings in more money gets more money, eg: female models get higher paychecks than their male counterparts because fashion industry is more female oriented
- If you are conservative and traditional than most, and you have standards for your man, what is it that you have to offer? just yourself? isnt that being entitlement?
- Most guys are invisible to most woman, guys are socially weird because they dont get female attention. Guys dont get laid that often and hence they chase it more.

- Desexualisation of asian men in hollywood
- Asian men are sexual predators,
- Asian women are saved by white men from their own damnation, resulting in a category on porn websites
- Asian men are often nerds (no sex appeal) or caricatures or sexually unattractive
- To be sexy - be Bruce Lee - do action
- Crypto - a scam
- Visual storytelling spectacle, insanely good production and quality
- Bitcoin was meant to replace as a digital currency, but everyone purchases it as an investment. If you know that tomorrow the price will be higher than today, why will you sell? So it can never achieve its initial goal
- It’s a pyramid scam - the initial investors can only make money if more people are brought into the ecosystem which will result in increasing the price
- Everybody uses con

- Speculation is necessary
- Speculation is a good servant but a bad master. It cannot be eliminated but can be checked.
- Bubble triangle
- Based on fire triangle: âGiven sufficient levels of these three components, a fire can be started by a simple spark. Once the fire has begun, it can then be extinguished by the removal of any one of the components.â
- Three components: Marketability (the oxygen), Money & credit (the fuel), Speculation (the heat)
- Spark: technological innovation and government policy
- From Indian context, new age trade platforms and pandemic initiated the speculation
