“History in the large is the conflict of minorities; the majority applauds the victor and supplies the human material of social experiment.”
— Will & Ariel Durant, The Lessons of History
@iris_seraphina@RealKenWalls Nice picture!💙🙏 In Lessons of History, American historians Will Durant and Ariel Durant argued that "under the complex strains of city life we sometimes take imaginative refuge", and idolizing the past could be "adolescent maladaptation".
On Sep. 14, 2015—just two days after Advanced LIGO began observing—a split-second signal arrived from black holes 1.3 billion light-years away. Meanwhile, dinosaurs vanished; mammals and humans rose. Einstein predicted the waves. Detectors built and tuned in. No deadline missed.
I am officially nominating Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) for the Nobel Peace Prize.
No President in History has ended the same war so many times.
Our Dear Leader has ended the war with Iran at least 38 times by CNN’s count.
No President has ever done this before.
And he is nowhere near finished ending it.
It’s a record worthy of the Nobel committee’s recognition. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
