A 27-year-old Indian woman has started a petition to put an end to the social evil of dowry. Dowries have been illegal in India since 1961, but the bride's family is still expected to gift cash, clothes and jewellery to the groom's family.
I had no idea the Woman's family had to pay the man's family in this area. I never got into anthropology outside of an introduction class, but these marriage customs between cultures are fascinating. How they evolve and how society evolves with them. With them still being practiced today is exciting. We all live on a giant rotating rock hurling through space, and this woman's genetic offspring's future has to take this custom into account.
TempleOS - a very gifted individual made his own OS from scratch by himself but was thwarted by his own schizophrenia and delusions of persecusion. He was also incredibly racist. Ultimately though it's very sad story seeing him lose his grip on reality thinking government agencies were after him and he was a prophet doing God's work. It's a decade long saga, he ended up homeless for a long while and died a few years ago.
John McAffee - talking about delusional tech guys, this one takes it to the highest level. This guy travelled the world running from the u.s. govt for tax evasion, won a game of russian roulette through quantum immortality (debatable), killed his neighbor for poisoning his dog(allegedly), and was an avid crypto enthusiast. He was found dead in a spanish prison right before he could be brought back to his homeland. It was declared a suicide but many people don't believe that.
