  1. Yeah, the culture definitely evolved into other forms, and lives on to a degree today. They were diverse, and they were the origins of so much.

  2. I was introduced to this concept in university by an english professor, who pointed out that the famous Robert Frost poem about the two roads is a bit of a koan. Once one chooses a path, one cannot know how the others would truly go (unless one actually went down them), meaning the author is arguably lying that his choice made 'all the difference', since we don't truly know the outcomes of our choices, even if we think we do, in part because every choice has larger ramifications that aren't easy to predict. For example, what if you made a 'better' choice, but luck wasn't in your favour, and things go poorly? Was it the right choice? Technically it wasn't, but arguably it was... though in life, you'd probably prefer to have made the better choice over the 'technically correct' choice!

  3. Why stop at congress, when they can just ignore it? It needs to be seen by nearly everyone in the world, in their relevant language.

  4. Yeah, I don't think the author knows all the uses of the expression 'death by a thousand cuts', because most people don't want to die via torture, let alone particularly heinous forms of it?

  5. This is one of the more interesting vids I've watched in a long time... I'm glad somebody took the time to explain to the lay-people how the greenhouse effect actually works, rather than using strange, misleading explanations that can be ignored/discredited. This is pretty simple I'd say, and should be clear to anyone who's done even high school level science even.

  6. It can also be caused by chemical exposure.

  7. This makes me think of the nutters that claim that requiring masks as a public health measure (public health measures having been a 'thing' in some form since before we were humans, even monkeys groom) means we are entering a police state. This is then 'argued' in a circular manner, where no proof is offered other than the premise itself.

  8. Anyone see the hilarious irony that Americans laughed at Eastern Block countries for not having had bananas, something that was so every day to them?

  9. I usually have ones that look like a big, complex protein molecule. I used to pass time as a kid playing with these by moving my eye a bit to wiggle them, hours of fun!
