How Rome Actually Fell 200 Years Before Anyone Noticed - Dr. Kyle Harper (DemystifySci +456)
Today's guest is Professor Kyle Harper, author of The Fate of Rome, a radical reimagining of the fall of the Roman Empire.
It is a saga of plague, volcanism & climate shifts, and coups, that reveals multiple fractures in the empire long before its final collapse.
We touch on the crisis of the third century, currency collapse, imperial fractures, and the role of new urban diseases: the Antonine Plague, Plague of Cyprian, Plague of Justinian, and how being rich but sick pointed to critical emergencies hidden in plain sight.
This is a story of blind spots and reveals a deep lesson for our present global civilization.

this isn't going to age well
Philosophy Of Physics@PhilosophyOfPhy · Mar 18At the atomic level, nothing ever truly touches. What we feel as ‘touch’ is our brain interpreting electromagnetic repulsion.
The object is real, the sensation is a constructed illusion.

seems like we might be ending the age of the technician. which is net good, bc of how much intellectual output is limited by needing extra hands to implement ideas. but what happens to all the technicians? not sure, but doesn't look good

tf you think a force is
Wevis@ebalabuev · Sep 25As a side note: the surface of a material body and its exclusiveness in space are only apparent macro-scale properties, because bodies never actually collide—they are repulsed by the electromagnetic force.

immanuel kant has been a disaster for the human race
Elliott Not-So-Sober@Leophilius · Sep 24The “value” of the speed of light is a contrivance imposed on relations between features of the World, given by human analysis. The value depends on our numerical and mathematical apparatuses as well as our convented units of measurement.
The relation is real, the “value” is not.

wow that's an ugly building
Erik Bootsma🌸🇳🇱@ErikBootsma · Sep 24Professional preservationists are the worst. The building could be restored, we know entirely how it was made, how it looked, but yet the professionals say that it cannot be restored as it would be "fake history". It "must be a "contemporary" intervention.
Awful.
Awful.
