“The benefits of becoming fluent in a foreign tongue are as underestimated as the difficulty is overestimated. Thousands of theoretical linguists will disagree, but I know from research and personal experimentation with more than a dozen languages that (1) adults can learn languages much faster than children when constant 9-5 work is removed and that (2) it is possible to become conversationally fluent in any language in six months or less. At four hours per day, six months can be whittled down to less than three months.” KnowsChildrenThreeLanguageHoursWorkFourMonthsBecomingSixBenefitsResearchAdultsDifficultyConstantTongueFasterDisagreeDozenSix MonthsTheoreticalExperimentationThree MonthsUnderestimatedFluentLinguists Author:Tim Ferriss

“Wars results in immediate deaths and destruction, but the environmental consequences can last hundreds, often thousands of years. And it is not just war itself that undermines our life support system, but also the research and development, military exercises and general preparations for battle that are carried out on a daily basis in most parts of the world. The majority of this pre-war activity takes place without the benefit of civilian scrutiny and therefore we are unaware of some of what is being done to our environment in the name of 'security.” WorldYearsWarDoneLastsNamesResultsSupportEnvironmentOur LivesSecurityMilitaryDevelopmentExerciseBattleActivityBenefitsResearchConsequenceDestructionBasesMajorityEnvironmentalPreparationCiviliansOur EnvironmentScrutinyBeing DoneResearch And DevelopmentSupport SystemsJust War Book:Planet Earth: The Latest Weapon of War Source: Planet Earth: The Latest Weapon of War
