Hi Friends!

Greetings from Mumbai!

Here is this week’s Saturday-Pentacle. A list of things and ideas I found Interesting.

Issue 213 // Week 10 // 2022

An article I found interesting —

Yuval Noah Harari argues that what’s at stake in Ukraine is the direction of human history – This economist article by Yuval Noah Harari shares his perspective on the Ukraine crisis and how it might be the pivoting point of human history.

He talks about how in recent decades peace has become “the implausibility of war”.

He also shares that the decline of war didn’t result from a divine miracle or from a change in the laws of nature. It resulted from humans making better choices.

A good piece. Check it out.

A poetry page which I’m loving —

WhitneyHansonPoetry – Her modern-day daily life poetry is just amazing. She’s even coming up with her book of poetry. A recent poetry reel on her Instagram –

A Tweet thread I found fascinating —

This thread by Bijan Hosseini was a window into what’s happening to the refugees coming to neighbour countries from Ukrain. Facing, racism, freezing temperatures, injuries, infinite waiting.

Go ahead and read this thread where he shares the story of his adopted sister’s journey to reach Poland.

A video I found interesting —

Tripping on the world’s oldest psychedelic – I’ve been watching Hamilton (from vice) Pharmacopeia for last couple of years. The Toad venom episode was one of my favourites.

This specific video shows tripping on one of the world’s oldest psychedelics

P.S.: I don’t endorse psychedelic intake and this content is just for information purpose.

Quote which I found meaningful –

“Growing up in a particular neighbourhood, growing up in a working-class family, not having much money, all of those things fire you and can give you an edge, can give you an anger.”

— Gary Oldman

Until Next Saturday!

Thanks for supporting and reading.
