So even when Patterson's research was published in 1965 It's a rambling article that provides no real evidence, only speculation about future discoveries (which never came) and absurd arguments why its concentration is supposed

To be honest, I never figured out what the evidence could even look like. Normally, you would try to falsify the existing theory, but, that is not an option, since it never existed - the proponents came with the claim that it had always bee

I just take a bit of red lead or lead sugar, whatever I have at hand. A huge dose by any modern claim. Look, why do we suffer from all those intractable "lifestyle diseases", need glasses and in general are the most unhealthy popu

The quotes are literally just made up. I looked it up once and the exact same person provided several recipes with heavy metals. Rome fell after they stopped using it, because its deficiency causes schizophrenia. People are not intelligent,

It's because people learned that alcohol damages the fetus.

No, I think he's completely wrong. The world isn't being ruined by a meme. On the contrary, our problem is the complexity bias, which seems to have developed over the previous century. As the result, nobody understands anything an

I mean the CPUs were tested early on, but later they failed, and no longer raise the average. It should be visible in more detailed statistics if it is so.

Maybe it's all the new Intel CPUs that failed?

He's wrong. He's probably from a country where NTs are not predominant. First, NTs don't ever consider anybody except themselves, they only care about their own good. Even when they seem like they're helping you, they on

Birds use their optic tectums to process visual inputs, but that likely doesn't enable much more than visual recognition. The mammal brain goes far far far further than that: It is the nature of most real life signals that they are spa

There is NO deficit. While science allowed the schizophrenics to fix their material related thinking (but they eventually corrupted that anyway) and become somewhat funcional in that regard, they have always stayed socially isolated. As suc

There is no deficit. Their neocortexes haven't died, and they are not insane. Just like the "intelligent" physicist concocts a theory, and then proves himself completely wrong with an experiment, an "intelligent" ma

I began reading the book (The Demon Haunted World) and it shocked me how casually Sagan states that he hallucinated, and it gave me an epiphany: The schizophrenic doesn't understand that other people are sane! Suddenly, it makes perf

The opposite should be investigated as well. The deficiencies in nutrients like copper, selenium or molybdenum are generally only known in animals, and rarely investigated among people. Copper deficiency can cause various symptoms like wei

I think it's now a historical fact that we in fact don't, as it's now virtually certain that the Artemis program, with all that knowledge available, will at the very least take longer to send people to the Moon, than the Apol

I was commenting on the absurdity of the story. It just doesn't seem to be how knowledge works. Nothing was discovered by such slow, long term accumulation of knowledge. Instead, knowledge seems to be discovered very quickly when the p

What books did Caesar read? In reality, books are not that useful. History doesn't show too much accumulation of knowledge over time - there is virtually no continuity between the bronze age and classical antiquity. Almost everything w

Did you do it? That maneuvre would take decades to millenia, and when you use something that far, it may be more efficient to push it into a retrograde orbit so that it hits Earth heads on, instead of chasing after it. It's just absurd

by Anotheroneagain 2y ago
Yes, I guess you're right, you aren't going from orbit to orbit, you only try to crash something (and actually want to keep the difference to create an impact). Still, your logic doesn't apply, and hitting something in a high

That logic doesn't apply to orbital mechanics. The atmosphere is used to brake when satellites are deorbited.

The disease might have already been global at that point, it doesn't exactly have conspicuous symptoms. Wuhan was a place where somebody thought of looking for anything unusual.

I suppose the translations may have a strong modern bias. Even the languages were only learned indirectly. First Old Persian in an unknown script had to be deciphered, then phonetic values for that script had to be used to decipher Akkadian

I'm sorry, but you're getting into "I'm smart and want to argue a point" territory. Nothing of that applies to Pompeii, as it was buried by a volcano, and everyone and everything that wasn't taken as the people

Because somebody claimed that you can't have organized society without banking, while for a long part of history there were organized societies without MONEY.

The bronze age wasn't. The way it worked seems to be that there was a guy who knew what you wanted, knew what you produced, and knew people who could produce what you wanted, and he supplied you with it, and wanted what you could produ

I didn't say it was. It was meant to refute the claim that you can't have an organized society without banking.

The city was buried in two days, if anything we may not see the most valuable possessions.

The Romans actually didn't think that killing people was wrong per se, so maybe that wasn't the best strategy.
