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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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" man…
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…
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…
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.…
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.…
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…
That logic doesn't apply to orbital mechanics. The atmosphere is used to brake when satellites are deorbited.
>We should use chimpanzees Why should we use anything at all? Aren't we people ourselves, who, you know, behave like people, without being taught how?
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.
The virus evolved in an AIDS patient.
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…
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.
Most of our animal relatives obtain the vast majority of their calories from fruit, that is, sugar. The tarsier is the closest one that doesn't.
The problem with IQ is that it measures the cerebellum. People who lack abstract thinking will learn to rely on the patterns and statistics, and intuitively score high on the tests. The second problem is that people who…
That could explain how the lead poisoning crowd took over. No, there won't be any retractions, you will be "educated" that you are stupid, "anti science", and too stupid to understand the newly discovered "fact".
