The people who built the tech destroying society are antisocial weirdos, which is why their products are socially corrosive. But as tools have advanced, incidental pro-social functions (Facebook as Rolodex, Twitter as news hub) have decayed and it’s just “you consume slop, you talk to computer” etc.

WATCH: If you REALLY want to understand a BIG reason why cycling [aka riding a bike] is so dangerous in North America, and one of the biggest villains in the origin story of our unsafe status quo, invest some time watching this one, by NOT JUST BIKES (aka @theurbanistagenda.com here). Then share it.

Gonna take a moment to expand on a footnote on "a truly intellectually defensible definition of 'the West.'"
The tendency for historians has been to abandon the term as it is mostly used in indefensible ways to 'other' the Islamic world.
But I think 'what could this term do' is a useful exercise.

Fireside this week, laying out a brief historiography (the 'history of the history') of the Roman strategy debate - the argument that has swirled since 1976 on the degree if Romans engaged in state-level strategic policy or if they were even able to do so.

What Rosalind Franklin truly contributed to the discovery of DNA’s structure
Franklin was no victim in how the DNA double helix was solved. An overlooked letter and an unpublished news article, both written in 1953, reveal that she was an equal player.

You didn’t hear this from us, but the Old English word 'sibb' meant “related by blood.”
This is where we get the 'sibling.'
And 'godsibb' essentially meant “godparent.”
Over time, it came to mean "close friend."
Now it is something we share w/ close friends...
'gossip.'
