Knead to Know was the latest hipster bakery in town. They supplied freshly baked, delicious ‘artisan’ breads, surprisingly cheap.

They also had popular workshops with silly names. ‘Baking for a better tomorrow’, that sort of thing.

When I was gifted a baking workshop, I was sarcastic. I quipped that they had a sourdough starter called ‘Knead to know basis’. Still, I was curious.

The instructor was prim, with round glasses and hair neatly pulled back. She explained to us that this was about taking pleasure in baking. She also mentioned that the best loaves would go on sale in the bakery.

So that’s how they keep their prices down, I thought wryly.

And then we got to it. Flour, yeast, basic ingredients. Mixing, getting your hands dirty.

And kneading. Pressing, pounding, squeezing the dough. It was... joyous. Ten minutes in, my hands were beginning to cramp, but I was ecstatic. So that’s what it was all about!

The instructor smiled and nodded in my direction. “Looks like we have another Knead to Know recruit!”

The story of Socrates and the three sieves

One day a man runs up to Socrates and said: “I have to tell you something about your friend who…”

“Hold up” Socrates interrupts him “About the story you’re about to tell me, did you put it trough the three sieves?”

The man was not familiar with the three sieves, so Socrates continued: “The first is the sieve of Truth. Are you sure that what you are going to tell me is true?”

“To tell the truth”, said the man, “no, I just overheard it”.

“What about the sieve of Goodness. Will you tell me something good or positive about this man?”

The man shook his head.

“Now, what about the last sieve. Is it necessary to tell me what you’re so excited about?”

When the man bowed his head in shame, Socrates smiled and said “Well, if the story you’re about to tell me is neither true, good or necessary, just forget it and don’t bother me with it.”

#Schizophrenia is not what the #psychiatric #establishment say it is. Their #story is a complete #deception staged for their #own benefit and #profit. One of the first indicators that you can see for yourself is that the voices paranoid schizophrenics hear run well defined, repeatable patterns and if they run patterns they cannot be hallucinations as the psychiatric mafia insists.

A Short #History of #Slavery | 5 Minute Video - #PragerU

Slavery didn’t start in 1492 when Columbus came to the New World. And it didn’t start in 1619 when the first slaves landed in Jamestown. It’s not a #white #phenomenon. The #real #story of slavery is long and complex. #CandaceOwens explains.

How our #financial #system works and the #redistribution

An investor suddenly appeared in a small Spanish town and rented a huge warehouse. He then announced that he would pay €10 for every cat that was brought to him. The inhabitants could hardly believe their ears, as the town was full of wild cats, but some went on the hunt and brought cats. They received their money. Word spread quickly and the warehouse was half full of cats. After a while, there were hardly any cats left in the village. Then the investor announced that from now on he would pay €20 per every additional cat. People hunted in the surrounding area and in neighboring villages and they received their money. There were hardly any cats left in the whole area except in the warehouse, which was well stocked. Now the investor has announced that each additional cat would be worth €50 to him from now on. However, he would now travel to the capital for his business and his managing director would look after the warehouse. When he returned in a week’s time, he would pay for all the cats. No sooner said than done. As soon as the investor had left, the manager told the people that they could buy cats from the warehouse for €45. They could then sell them back to the investor later for €50. People scraped together all their savings and some even went into debt. Everyone bought as many cats as they could. The more cats you owned, the higher the expected profit. Within a few days, the warehouse was completely empty and the managing director had made a handsome sum. Now everyone was waiting for the investor to return. But he never came and the managing director had also disappeared. You will have guessed it by now, the investor never returned and the entire region had to suffer under a heavy burden of debt from then on.

This is exactly how the #stock #market works.
