But not in China...Chinese dragon is a rain deity that fosters harmony...Why? Because of Chinese climate...

Dragons appeared in China for the first time during Neolithic...
The Xinglongwa culture (6200–5400BC) https://t.co/d5DuI3BJGu

These guys made first jade dragon rings...
The Hongshan_culture (4700-2900BC) https://t.co/t8tiq3VBsX succeeded Xinglongwa culture.

And they loved dragon rings...So much they became obsessed with them and made pile and pile and pile of them...
Looks familiar? This is the earliest example of Ouroboros: Serpent biting its tail. Remember Dragon (Destructive sun's heat of the late summer) = Old Serpent (Sun's heat). https://t.co/nPGfTBQLs8
Before I saw these Neolithic Chinese Ouroboroses I thought that they appeared for the first time in Ancient Egypt. Did you know that the 4th century AD Latin commentator Servius says the Egyptian use of the Ouroboros symbol to represent the cyclical nature of the year...
So if dragon is the symbol of the destructive heat of the late summer, why is the Chinese dragon "a rain deity that fosters harmony"?

Because this is what the climatic year looks like in North Eastern China: The maximum heat corresponds to maximum precipitation...
The dragon (the hottest sun of the late summer early autumn) really does bring rain...Shit loads of it actually...

Yin (water, down, rain) and Yang (fire, up, sun) in balance and harmony... https://t.co/CXAXhWSDQe
By the way, did I mention that the dragon mad Hongshan culture guys belonged to the paternal haplogroup N-M231??? It is estimated that this was the predominant haplogroup in the region in the Neolithic period at 89%, its share gradually declining over time!!!
Today this haplogroup is most common in Finland, the Baltic states and among northern Siberian ethnicities, such as the Yakuts.

Any Fins here today? What the fuck were you guys doing in China 7000 years ago and what's the story with the "dragon thingy"? 🙂
Well the story is all about the beginning of agriculture and the domestication of millet...But more about it in another thread soon....

Shy people are either overthinking or highly observant of the social setting.

And in many cases it can be both.

'So what do I do?'

You learn the 75/25 law.

'What is that?'

The law of charisma...👇

Let's address the over thinkers first.

Do you have any idea why you overthink?

'Yea. Because others are judging how shy I am.'

Incorrect.

Others are thinking about themselves, not you.

But the fact that you think they are thinking about you, you fuck up the interaction.

Now you stay in your head too much & avoid the present moment.

A major no no in the social world.

Your tendency to think that others are judging you for being shy, coincidentally makes you more shy.

And that's when you start giving off a strange vibration to the social setting.

This is when you begin attracting comments like 'why are you so quiet?'

Some ofthe biggest breakouts occur after Volatility Contraction, the analogy is that more a spring is pressed, higher it jumps whenever it gets released.

There is a VCP Scanner on chartink (Not mine). This may also be used to find potential Breakouts.

The 2018 State of JavaScript survey is out. They got 20,000 responses and have some delicious, delicious data. I'mma thread in some highlights:

First up: JavaScript flavors. There's TypeScript at 47% adoption, a tad higher than npm's own survey results (which said 46%). npm's survey is coming up again soon and will ask about TypeScript in a lot more detail.


I really, *really* like SoJ's "would not use again" question, which lets people who've abandoned a tech self-identify. This is noticeable in the graph above with Flow users -- 41% of people who've used Flow say they wouldn't use it again.

Now JavaScript frameworks. It's been a full year since npm's survey, so these numbers differ from ours in the directions I expected:
React 65% (vs. 60%)
Vue 29% (vs. 24%)
Ember 5% (vs 4%, I was expecting a bigger rise)

But there's a shocker in here: Angular.


npm's survey had Angular at 40% last year and SoJ has it at either:
- 58% (if you include those who don't want to use it again)
- 24% (if you count only those who like it)
Since npm's question didn't ask if they intend to *continue* using it I think that might explain this.

First thread of the year because I have time during MCO. As requested, a thread on the gods and spirits of Malay folk religion. Some are indigenous, some are of Indian origin, some have Islamic


Before I begin, it might be worth explaining the Malay conception of the spirit world. At its deepest level, Malay religious belief is animist. All living beings and even certain objects are said to have a soul. Natural phenomena are either controlled by or personified as spirits

Although these beings had to be respected, not all of them were powerful enough to be considered gods. Offerings would be made to the spirits that had greater influence on human life. Spells and incantations would invoke their


Two known examples of such elemental spirits that had god-like status are Raja Angin (king of the wind) and Mambang Tali Arus (spirit of river currents). There were undoubtedly many more which have been lost to time

Contact with ancient India brought the influence of Hinduism and Buddhism to SEA. What we now call Hinduism similarly developed in India out of native animism and the more formal Vedic tradition. This can be seen in the multitude of sacred animals and location-specific Hindu gods

WHY BABUR NEVER TRIED TO ATTACK SRI KRISHNADEVARAYA ?

A🧵u must read

It is very well known that Babur considered Krishna Dev Raya as the strongest ruler of the entire subcontinent, and Vijayanagar empire the strongest during that time in India.

1/10


The Vijayanagar empire reached its peak during 1509-1529 around the reign of Krishna Dev Raya.

Vijayanagar’s famed elephant brigade 👇

2/10


At his command there were over 50000 elite troops with a regiment of Portuguese gunners and 3200 cavalry with 600 elephants.

3/10

Along with that more than four hundred thousand ( four lakh) peasant levies and irregular military made this empire one of the largest in all of South Asia.

4/10


During Baburs invasion, Krishna Dev Raya ruled supreme in all of deccan.

In fact, in an all our brawl, Krisha Dev Raya will beat Babur fair and square.

Babur could muster at max 50000 troops with 50 canons.

While Krishna Dev Raya had these numbers in Hampi alone
