This is your News You do not Need podcast.
Today, I bring you the kind of story that makes you say, “Who thought of this, and why?” But then, a little part of your brain goes, “Well, I’m kinda glad I know.” Let’s take a journey to Taiwan, where a woman just lost about 420,000 US dollars—oh yes, that number is correct—after enrolling in what was basically the Harvard of invisible nonsense, a "spiritual course" so exclusive, you literally can’t see what you bought. Not only did she hand over her life savings, she was so convinced by the unseeable magic content that she sold her house to pay for it. Move over, cryptocurrency, the “spirit syllabus” is here, and it just might be the investment with the highest rate of enlightenment per lost dollar in history.
You might wonder, what was promised in this course? Wisdom, spiritual connections, cosmic clearance sales on bad luck? The details remain about as vaporous as the curriculum materials. Of course, the so-called “mentor” vanished the second tuition was paid, reportedly becoming one with the ether, or maybe just the next bullet train south. There’s no word on whether the class had homework, other than maybe emptying your bank account.
But if you thought spiritual scams were enough to make your Sunday complete, let’s sprinkle in some news from Bengaluru. This Diwali, while the rest of the city was stuck in the kind of traffic that makes snails look reckless, one techie discovered the streets were empty thanks to the festival holiday. He was so amazed, he stood in the middle of the road to take a picture—a selfie in the urban wild. For a brief moment, he was the only functioning transport system in Bengaluru, and apparently, for that second, the true spirit of Diwali was “no one is driving, but I’m thriving.”
And from the world of DIY hacks, a traveler at an Indian airport, horrified by snack prices that suggest the popcorn was grown in solid gold soil, decided to beat the system—by ordering snacks using a grocery delivery app and having them delivered straight to the terminal. Because nothing spells modern rebellion quite like having a man show up at Gate C5 holding a bag of discounted samosas and a confused expression.
If you’re already shaking your head at the absurdity of the week’s news, here’s a topping for your weirdness sundae: an airline recently triggered a social media firestorm after asking a flight attendant—who had unfortunately passed away—for her sick leave paperwork. Somewhere, in an HR office, a form is lost in existential limbo. Remember folks, even in death, bureaucracy finds a way.
And finally, for those keeping up with global wildlife, a “princess dragon millipede” was just discovered in Thailand. It’s pink, it’s spiky, and biologically, it’s basically a party streamer with legs. Scientists can now confirm, no matter where you go or what you study, nature is always one step ahead in the department of “unnecessary but fabulous.”
So, the next time someone interrupts your day with, “Did you hear about the big political protest or that surge in gold prices?” you can look them dead in the eye and reply, “Sure, but have you heard about the spiritual degree that cost a house, the delivery samosas, and the bureaucratic afterlife?” Because let’s face it—you really didn’t need to know any of this, but aren’t you glad you do?
