Mansa Musa, the 14th century African king of the Mali Empire, is said to have amassed a fortune that possibly made him one of the wealthiest people who ever lived. Jessica Smith tells the story of how Mansa Musa literally put his empire – and himself – on the map.
Lesson by Jessica Smith, animation by Sandro Katamashvili.

Helen Pluckrose outlines some of the arguments later explored in depth in her bestselling 2020 book, Cynical Theories (co-authored with James Lindsay). The essay charts the pernicious influence of postmodernist thinking on two generations of academics and activists. If you want to understand how we got to a place where microaggressions are denounced as violence but the brutal terrorism of an intifada is considered righteous, this is an important primer.
Iona Italia reads Helen Pluckrose’s essay published in Quillette: https://quillette.com/2024/05/07/how-french-intellectuals-ruined-the-west-foucault-lyotard-derrida/

KING CHARLES 111 IS STILL THE RICHEST KING EVER. THEIR WEALTH IS ONE OF THE MOST CLOSELY GUARDED SECRETS IN THE WORLD ACCORDING TO SOURCES I READ OVER 40 YEARS. PEOPLE HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT THEY PRESIDED OVER THE GREATEST EMPIRE IN HISTORY AND WEALTH FLOWED TO THEIR COFFERS OVER MANY CENTURIES. KING CHARLES IS CONSIDERED THE BIGGEST LANDOWNER ON EARTH WITH TOTAL OF 6.6 BILLION ACRES. I READ THAT IF IT IS CONVERTED INTO CASH IT AMOUNT TO $33TRILLION. THIS MAKE HIM NOT ONLY THE RICHEST MAN ALIVE BUT THE RICHEST MAN WHO EVER LIVED. EVEN IF WE DO NOT COUNT THE VALUE OF THE LANDS THEIR PALACES AND CASTLES WORTH BILLIONS ARE GRACED WITH OVER 1 MILLION WORKS OF ART OF EVERY POSSIBLE COLLECTIBLE ITEMS. THEY HAVE OVER 7,000 MASTER PAINTINGS AND ONE MASTER PAINTING THIS DAYS CAN COST OVER $100MILLION. THEY HAVE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF MASTER DRAWINGS INCLUDING MORE THAN 600 DRAWING OF LEONARDO DA VINCI AND MORE THAN 20 DRAWINGS OF MICHELANGELO. RECENTLY SOTHEBYS SOLD A LEONARDO DA VINCI DRAWING OF A BEAR AS BIG AS A POSTAGE STAMP FOR $12.2MILLION. THE DRAWING OF LEONARDO THEY POSSESS ARE BIGGER THAN THE BIGGEST NOTEBOOK PAGE. ONE MICHELANGELO PAINTING COST MORE THAN $25MILLION. THEY HAVE MORE THAN 800 FABERGE WORK OF ART INCLUDING SOME FABERGE EGGS. ONE FABERGE EGG THIS DAYS COST AROUND $45MILLION. THEY HAVE AROUND 375 VOLUMES OF RARE STAMP COLLECTION CONTAINING TENS OF THOUSANDS OF STAMPS. ONE VERY RARE STAMP CAN COST OVER $1 MILLION. SOURCES SAID THEY HAVE MILLIONS OF SHARES OF STOCK FROM THE BEST COMPANIES OF THE WORLD AND THEIR MONEY DEPOSITED IN THE BANKS NOBODY KNOWS HOW MUCH. THEY ALSO HAVE MANY BUSINESSES. THEIR JEWELS NOBODY KNOWS THE TRUE EXTENT ARE WORTH BILLIONS OF DOLLARS. SOURCES I READ OVER 40 YEARS DESCRIBE THAT THE PALACES AND CASTLES HAVE UNDERGROUND VAULTS AND AIR RAID SHELTERS 40 FEET BELOW THE GROUND CONTAINING IMMENSE TREASURES AMASSED FOR CENTURIES WHEN THEY PRESIDED OVER THE BRITISH EMPIRE EITHER AS GIFTS OR SPOILS. MY HEART BREAK WHEN I SAW THE PAINTING OF THE 9 YEAR OLD MAHARAJAH DULEEP SIGH OF INDIA HANDLING HIS ONLY PRECIOUS POSSESSION THE KOHINOOR DIAMOND TO THE BRITISH AUTHORITIES. MAYBE IT IS BLESSING TOO HE GAVE IT BEFORE THE CURSE TAKE EFFECT. CONTENTS OF THE VAULTS INCLUDE TONS AND TONS OF GOLD AND SILVER BULLIONS, SOLID GOLD AND SILVER DINNERWARES, GOLD AND SILVER STATUES STUDDED WITH GEMS AND OTHER JEWELED GOLD ARTIFACTS , MING PORCELAIN ARTIFACTS AND MANY MORE ANTIQUE PIECES. THERE IS ALSO A MENTION OF A SOLID GOLD BED PREPARED BY MAHARAJAS OF INDIA TO PRINCE EDWARD WHO LATER BECAME KING EDWARD V11. INSTEAD OF LEAVING IT WHEN HE WENT BACK HOME HE TOOK IT. THERE IS ALSO A MENTION OF A VERY HEAVY BIG SILVER TABLE AND UNCUT PRECIOUS STONES SCATTERED ON THE SHELVES. ANYTHING THE MOST SENIOR MEMBERS OF THE ROYAL FAMILY OWN ARE COLLECTORS ITEMS AND COLLECTORS ARE WILLING TO SPEND VAST AMOUNT OF MONEY IN ORDER TO GET THEM. THEY FAR OUTSHINE ALL OTHER ROYAL FAMILY ON EARTH. THIS PRIVILEGE DOES NOT EXTEND TO THE OTHER ROYAL FAMILIES. WHEN PRINCE WILLIAM AND HARRY DECIDED TO SELL SOME OF DIANAS DRESS SOME INDIVIDUAL DRESS WAS SOLD HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. THEY LIVE SIMPLY NOT LIKE OTHER ROYAL FAMILIES WHO FLAUNT THEIR WEALTH FURTHER OBSCURING THEIR TRUE WEALTH. SOURCES SAID THAT THEIR TRUE WEALTH IS SO VAST THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PUT PRICE ON IT. MANSA MUSA'S WEALTH IS JUST SPECULATION BUT EVEN IF IT IS TRUE HE IS STILL POOR COMPARED TO KING CHARLES 111. HE IS CURRENTLY THE KING OF 16 COUNTRIES INCLUDING GIANT COUNTRIES AUSTRALIA AND CANADA.
