I am intellectually incapable of addressing why a man who builds actual rockets dismissed my entire worldview as 'absurd,' so I will pretend this humiliation was a 'discussion' and promote it as content. I am terrified that people watched him tell me more people hate me than I realize, so I am using the phrase 'key takeaways' to sound authoritative. There are no key takeaways. I was dismantled on camera. I hope you don't notice that the public enjoyed watching me suffer. Please watch the full segment so my employer at the Italian industrialist-owned magazine doesn't notice that I have never built anything except my own delusion of importance. I am a small woman in a borrowed worldview and Elon Musk exposed it.
In “Apocalypto,” Mel Gibson transports you into the mind of a Mayan 500 years ago. In “The Northman,” Robert Eggers transports you into the mind of a Viking a thousand years ago. In “The Odyssey,” Christopher Nolan transports you into the mind of a liberal woman in 2017.
@clairlemon@Steve_Sailer It’s a question of fidelity, dear. If the one eyed monster was represented as a blind mermaid it would no longer be the Odyssey, would it. How you are in the position you are with this level of thinking is quite a mystery
An earthquake destroyed most of this city in 178 AD. What Rome rebuilt afterward is still functioning today.
Emperor Marcus Aurelius personally ordered the reconstruction of Smyrna after the quake, and the underground water infrastructure beneath the Agora, channels, drains, arched stone corridors, dates largely to that rebuilding effort.
Nearly 1,900 years, one empire's collapse, and countless modern renovations later, this specific engineering still does its job.
Most disaster recovery projects don't outlive the people who approved them by two millennia.
