Working on a book. My substack is how I’ll reach out directly and tell you it’s ready.

[Tocharus @Tocharus]

Got finished with my first draft of the second book. No this is not a typo, will release the books together as one larger book. That took a minute. Lots of overtime stalling me, but I got this finished.
Approximately 60% the way done with the secret project.

[Tocharus @Tocharus]

Got finished with my first draft. I feel like I just crossed a big mental barrier. Also some big life events came and went, so I’m more mentally in it now. Approximately 55% the way done with the secret project now.

Rewrites and edits, maybe even another draft now.

You must breed for height and beauty and the rest will follow.

6 feet 6.74 inch tall Andronovo WOMAN!

Amazonian queen.

Seriously thought, this woman surely would have spawned at least a few legends.

Interesting to see the captivating oratory skills of Sam Hyde, then to see the “remarkable family of Hyde” from Sir Francis Galton, bringing to mention two uncles and one cousin who were English judges and one Welsh judge, an Archbishop, and even the first Lord of Clarendon, Edward Hyde, chief adviser during the English civil war, and Lord Chancellor later on. Do you think there is any relation to our venerable orator?

Kurzgesagt asks what is the ideal planet, they present the ideal planet, all it does is maximize insect, plant, and fungal life.

@coltraneist My time will be consumed for about five years, but at the end of those five years something will emerge out of it all and I will have nothing but time to do such things. Thinking more broadly about what is possible.

Can I legally have a charity that discriminates in favor of my own group?

[Tocharus @Tocharus]

Just learned about the oubliette. Truly one of the least honorable ways to die.

You can feel the palpable embarrassment and alienation of the latter about and from the former, but he still attempts to befriend and communicate with him.

I have two people working for me, earning the exact same amount of money of the same race. One is typical, stereotypical even, the other is somewhere around three to three and a half standard deviations above their racial average. Fascinating side by side comparison.

[Tocharus @Tocharus]

How difficult it is the raise the bulk of humanity above itself.

[Tocharus @Tocharus]

@2wiceB This is the exact opposite. Those seek to change convention. Francis Galton sought to change nature itself, to shape it.

Who can disagree with such an introduction?

[Tocharus @Tocharus]

@MaeveWriter Sir Francis Galton, cousin of Charles Darwin.

At the peak Middle English felt almost entirely French. It was a close call.

[Tocharus @Tocharus]

What was most painful in the transition from Old English to Middle English was the loss of most of the inflection of the language. What was most painful from Middle English to Modern English was the replacement and archaification of Germanic words in favor of Latinate words.

[Tocharus @Tocharus]

Modern English really does feel cut off from Old English due almost entirely to the Normans and their influence. Entire ideas seemingly cut out from the English consciousness.

Island used to be spelled ealond and that just makes so much more sense.

@unconquered_sol Right above the doorway.

@DanDavisWrites I wonder if this relates back to the transport of megalithic columns from our stone age ancestors like those found at the bottom of the Mediterranean.

[Tocharus @Tocharus]

To think you are only about 100 men removed from the bronze age should make you stand in wonder.
