This ain't no April Fools! Yes, you judge. Everyone does.
Do you know people who self-righteously claim they don't judge anyone?
They're lying.
I explain in this mini-podcast!
Share it with anyone who demands that you stop judging them.
Mini-podcast episodes
In 2021, I made a 30-min WanderLearn episode about 12 words/phrases that are commonly misused.
Although the video and podcast got decent attention, some people have a short attention span.
Therefore, I broke that long episode into short segments that are easy to share.
These bite-sized chunks are perfect for sharing.
You might only agree with three of my suggestions and not all 12.
Therefore, evangelize the words/phrases you want the world to change. Together, we can change their use. Yes, it's ambitious, but let's embark on this journey!

It's remarkable how many smart people say, "It's a fraction of..."
They are leaving out an important word that comes before the word "fraction."
In this mini-podcast, I explain.

I adore admitting that I am wrong. Today, I get to say it again.
I was wrong about Putin.
I saw him as an extremely shrewd, nimble, and intelligent leader who will do what he thinks is best for Russia.
Therefore, I didn't think he'd attack Ukraine because it's too big of a gamble.
I was wrong.
Putin is way smarter than me, so maybe it'll work out for Russia, but that seems farfetched.
But completely invading Ukraine also seemed farfetched.
Donald Trump winning the 2016 election certainly appeared farfetched.
I analyze Ukraine in 2022.

13:30 Conclusion
Bitcoin
I feel for the refugees who had to leave in a hurry.
This is yet another case for #Bitcoin.
It's the best asset that you can carry with you anywhere without fear of it being confiscated.
With a tiny hardware wallet, you can run away with $100 million.
By memorizing 24 words, you can carry $1 billion in your head.
Nobody can freeze or confiscate cryptocurrency like all other assets.
It's times like these when I'm grateful to be in a forgotten, backwater country like Mauritania.
So what's next for Russia?
If Russia manages to "control" Ukraine, Russia will regret doing that, like the USA regrets controlling Afghanistan and Iraq.
They were pyrrhic victories.
Only 17% of Ukraine is ethnically Russian.
Therefore, Ukrainians will always demonstrate their displeasure of being ruled by the minority.
Ukrainians will never be brainwashed into believing that they are Russians just like the United States could never convince Canadians that they are Yanks.
I doubt that they will expand further.
If they did, they would take over a Central Asian nation, like Kazakhstan.
But they won't dare to go west, into the Baltic, since they are NATO countries.
On the other hand, black swan events happen and I've been wrong before and I'll be wrong in the future.
What do you think will happen next?
