A Frankish Odyssey. Around 279, Emperor Probus defeated the Germanic people in a series of wars. As part of the peace agreement, Germanic groups were resettled throughout the empire. This included a group of Franks who were resettled in the region of Pontus on the coast of the…
There's a preference cascade towards feminine social norms that occurs when a third woman enters a space, regardless of the number of men Calling this phenomenon the Three Female Body Problem, h/t @FrogHarmless
Way behind the 8 ball on this one, what can you do Interesting to note that we are now on the second time inside two months that a piece from Compact came to utterly dominate the discourse, they are a heavy hitter now adorableandharmless.com/p/the-feminiza…
Germany is a totally fucked country. We have very conservative constitution and government, by design. The states have enormous veto power, which can mute or cancel sudden changes in composition of federal government, in this way working to keep everything the same. We have a…
BEST OF R/LEGALADVICEUK 🧵 r/LegalAdviceUK is a reddit subreddit where people ask for legal advice about their problems. Because of the levels of dysfunction in Britain (AKA ‘The Yookay’) today they often read as parody. Here is a thread of some of the more absurd recent posts
Each child actually adds far more than this, as we don’t relate merely to other individuals—we also relate to the emergent dynamics between those individuals. The simplest example of this emerges when moving from dyad to triad: Say you’re a husband and you have a child. Now…
every child you add to your family adds much more than one new relationship third child = four more relationships fourth child = five more relationships
94% of members of organized crime groups in Sweden are immigrants or children of immigrants. They have imported an entire criminal class and structure.
Here's how the English escaped clannishness: 1. End cousin marriage under threat of slavery. 2. Put murderers, rapists, and horse thieves to death. 3. Force non-kin to cooperate (communal open-field system). 4. Reward the most skilled with greater income and housing.
You probably learned Roman history from a Marxist, so you think the Republic fell due to class warfare. Partially true, but you probably weren’t taught that the primary grievance of the poor was their large-scale ethnic replacement, coordinated by the rich. Every Roman writer…
"Then the poor, deprived of their land, were no longer eager for military service and had few children, so that soon all Italy was bereft of freemen and filled with gangs of foreign slaves, through whom the rich cultivated their estates, having driven away the free citizens." -…

Engineering Design + Game Theory If we treat each requirement as a stakeholders, then engineering design becomes a multiplayer game where each player (each requirement) has preferences over the possible design space. Think about that for a moment. Each requirement represents…
Let me do a quick breakdown of the bull and bear case for orbital data centers. First off, respect to the Starcloud team for dreaming big, swinging big, all that jazz. Orbital Data Center Premise: Building new data centers is hard because acquiring land, permits, and energy is…

Soap production did not cease in Europe during the Middle Ages, quite the opposite. The Catholic Church did not believe that undressing was a sin, even for the purpose of bathing. Some physicians did believe that bathing too long could open the pores and make you sick, but they…
"never lying" is an extremely difficult ideal but a great one to aim for. the payoff is very long term but very VERY worth it put as much effort as you can into not decieving people. develop a strong disdain for being pressured to lie. put effort into orienting your life so that…
I will tolerate recurrent laryngeal nerve slander no longer! It's actually the result of several elegant solutions to difficult problems in embryology, and the length is a non-issue. A 🧵 1/13
My meager education in biology and evolution gave me the mistaken impression that evolution optimized everything. But it didn't. One example is the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN). It goes from behind your ear, loops down below your aorta, and then back up to the voice-box 1/2
It's much worse than that. There are sub-90 IQ people earning PhDs!

Tizard’s Briefcase 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 “The most valuable cargo every brought to America” In 2025, we all know about WWII but pretty much nobody has ever heard of Tizard’s Briefcase. Let’s change that, because Tizard’s briefcase might be the singular turning point of the 20th Century. In…
The defining hallmark of cancel culture—the thing that marked it off as a new phenomenon, and which made it so oppressive—was that it targeted speech WITHIN the Overton Window, often with the explicit goal of shifting it. If it's "cancel culture" to fire someone for supporting…
People lost their jobs in 2020 for: - Reading an MLK letter out loud - Showing a Shakespeare film from 1965 - Snapping fingers (interpreted as 👌) - Sharing data that riots were unpopular - Teaching the proper pronunciation of Chinese - Donating $25 to Kyle Rittenhouse
often a London bus driver will wave on all the passengers without having them pay -- the card reader is working, things are running on time, but he still signals you not to bother, as if he's doing you a favor at first I was pretty confused about why this was happening, maybe I…
