That's why it is such a problem. Had the premise been questioned more, some values projected on to others might not be so prevalent in history books.

Eugenics is how you say 'racist' in intellectual society. It is still present in intellectual society. It is easy to subconsciously project your values onto the things you study. Much of what we think about eqyptian mummies and pyramids is based on 18th and 19th century ideas about death in European society.

They do teach evolution in TN.

Too bad Jimmy Stewart can't be in it. That would make the movie really great.

There is a link between autism and IBS

Edison and Westinghouse both built fame and success on the minds and labors of their employees. Most engineers don't get famous. Tesla was just a particularly good engineer. He died in relative obscurity, but his ideas have given him posthumous fame after standing up so well and because of people's love of a good conspiracy.

I would say, before that car company, more people recognize the word 'westinghouse' than 'tesla'. The Westinghouse label is used for a brand of AC equipment, because of the name recognition. 50 years ago, when Westinghouse was a major appliance manufacturer, that would be more true.

You can't use human waste to feed crops intended for human consumption

I read someplace about evidence of eqyptians using papyrus as the screen for a fine pulp paper veneer.

Paper is helpful in organizing logs, journals, and books in general. Clay tablets do ok, but the libraries get cumbersome quickly

I had a boss that said " I know where my penis has been, I don't know where my hands have been."

I just wanted to find an easy way to die. What is easier than just hanging out at an event horizon?

So you don't die. You just stop

I am going to have to listen to teenage wasteland closer again

Did either say people would be able to normalize their extreme views or terrorist would be able to easily recruit and coordinate activities to victimize society

We know the spectrum of hydrogen very well. It has the same spectral lines everyplace that the conservation laws work. The spectrum from farther stars have the exact same lines, they are just shifted to longer wavelengths while in route to our spectrometers. There is more shift, they farther away the star is. We know how far the star is by known candles. Certain binary stars have identical novas due to one star siphoning mass from its partner. At a certain stage, when the mass is sufficient, these stars nova with the same energy and brightness. By knowing the perceived brightness on earth, we can tell exactly how far away it is.

If Red shift was due to the spectrometers getting smaller, farther sources would not show more red shift.

In the 80s we could not have predicted what the internet would do to society.

The rise in iron production and new iron weapons threw the power balance out of wack, too. This is not the only factor, but too many people tend to look for only one factor. Likely there were dozens of factors, some being more important than others in different areas

A gym teacher told me he was the smartest teacher at his school. He told me that he gets paid the same as the other teachers but he just watches people play volleyball all day.

Do you mean Musk is a complete ass who got rich on the ideas of others then claimed those ideas as his own?
