this is what ancient greek philosophy is actually like

same except i was diagnosed with ADHD (which was recognized as a separate disorder from ADD at the time) around age 6 and my parents decided to pretend it wasn't real for... 30 years and counting.

OOP is the author of something like seven published novels, one of which has been adapted into a movie and another of which may soon be made into a streaming series. Never feel embarrassed to say what you learned today.

PBS Spacetime's approach was a pair of videos titled "Why String Theory is True" and "Why String Theory is False" and between them that pretty much put it to bed for me. cool math, cool worldbuilding, call me when they make a testable prediction. until then it goes on the scrap pile with aether and phlogiston.

i don't give a shit either way but it makes far more sense that it was in protest than that all of those soldiers are too incompetent to march properly. insisting it must be incompetence because you want to think bad things about the us military is the real cope.

tbf i didnt recognize any the names but reading about each one was like "oh yeah that thing, i knew about that".
