Esoterica is great. It’s mostly about gnostic side of western religious history. Dr. Justin Sledge is doing awesome research on the relevant topics. I’m watching that to know more about to put religion in a historical context.

The CBI program mostly brings in dirty money.

Türkiye invested heavily into construction industry in the last three decades, so new buildings coming pretty cheap.

Most Turkish cities doesn’t have urban planning and sprawl doesn’t stop at all. Istanbul Downtown’s two extents takes 2 hours with a car, without leaving the city.
