This is the perfect quote to use in my proposal! The top scientists at McMaster are literally saying that to understand the plague, I need the historical and social context alongside the genetic data.

This explains the scientific limitation that creates the big debate. Since the plague genome evolves so slowly, they can't even tell where it started!

This is the technical explanation for the famous "blocked flea" which is the key to the rat theory. The biofilm is what clogs the flea's gut and forces it to bite more.

This is a great detail for my argument! The article calls the flea jump a "recent evolutionary adaptation." This suggests the mechanism might have been imperfect or inefficient in the 14th century, which actually strengthens the argument against the rat-flea model being the sole cause of the Black Death's incredibly fast spread. It provides scientific backing for why I need to seriously consider the human ectoparasite model and not just discard it immediately.

This is the whole mechanism behind the classic rat-flea theory that my map needs to test. The article is basically saying the history of the plague is tied to this interaction. When I map the spread, I have to remember that this theory relies on a slow, multi-step process involving rats and fleas, which is the main reason I'm testing it against the faster human-to-human transmission idea.

This is a perfect summary of the whole problem I'm trying to solve. Historians originally doubted the Y. pestis theory because the plague spread way too fast to be the slow rat-flea model. This confirms that I'm right to use my map to visually test the difference between the slow rat spread (the "dogma") and the rapid human spread (my hypothesis).

This is the crucial evidence for the second path.

The fact that they share the exact same plague strain means I have a confirmed, solid connection across the English Channel. This established route will be my baseline when I look at the historical records and chronicles. (Saint-Laurent-de-la-Cabrerisse and Hereford)

This is good for my hypothesis! It proves that the plague was too complex to have followed just one simple path. Since the scientists found two different strains, my map must show two separate main routes into Europe, which means I can directly test the differences between the rat theory and the human flea theory.

This could be the best starting point for my project. It shuts down the argument about what caused the plague, so I don't have to waste time debating the pathogen itself. I can now focus 100% on mapping the how and when of the spread, which is the whole point of my research.

This means there is already a basic route out there. My final GIS map will be used to see if this basic picture is right or if the newer theories about human parasites make a different visual pattern.

This validates my plan to use chronicles and death registers as the primary source of my timeline data.

This is a deeper detail for my map. I shouldn't only map where things were exported, but also mention/point out the return trips of ships, as they could have also carried the disease.

This is why my project to map the plague against trade routes makes sense. The article proves that a major trade network was already in place to carry the disease.

This confirms that rivers and major travel routes were the most important paths, which I can trace when I build the map.

Oslo, Bergen, Norway and Halmstad, Denmark. Date: 1349. This gives me key points for mapping the very northern part of Europe.

Route Data: York, England. Date: May 1349. This is a very specific route (along the rivers).

Third Data Point: Dalkey and Drogheda, Ireland. Date: August 1348. This helps trace the route over the sea.

Second Data Point: London, England. Date: End of 1348. This is important for showing how the disease followed a river.

First Data Point: Weymouth, England. Date: Summer 1348.

This is a specific scientific detail that helps me understand why the rat theory might be wrong in places like Scandinavia. My map can visually test if the plague slowed down in colder areas.

This is a great piece of evidence for the human parasite side. It tells me to look for things in the old chronicles that don't mention rats, which strengthens the argument against the rat theory.

This supports the newer idea (the human parasite theory) that challenges the rat theory. I will use my maps to see which one looks more likely.

This clearly backs up the old idea (the rat-flea theory) that I need to test with my map. It gives me a clear route to follow.

This is exactly what my project aims to do. I can use this quote to show that comparing the plague's spread with trade routes is the right way to study this problem.

EACH NOTE CARD SHOULD BE AS PURE AND SINGULAR AN IDEA AS POSSIBLE, BECAUSE I WANT TO BE ABLE TO MOVE ALL THE PIECES AROUND

This quote speaks to the general idea of "atomic notes" or note size and why they should be small.

It also osculates David Lynch's idea of holding onto the essence of an idea within a story. It's almost as if the adage "take care of the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves" were applied to the fiction writing process. If you're careful with the small pieces, the bigger piece has a stronger chance of having more authenticity.

Dr. Kurt regurgitates second Peter 3:3-4 where there are "scholars" who knowingly reject creation and the Bible on the merits of the past, absolutism; what happens now is how it has always been.

This is a logical fallacy also described by Nassim Nicholas Taleb in "The Black Swan"... Absence of Proof does not mean Proof of Absence. And also the fact that one cannot predict the future based on the past in all situations, especially Black Swan's... The Flood was actually a Black Swan (it was impossible to predict, and had catastrophic consequences)

Reply to John Whitfield: I think that one is mostly a semantic issue. In some definitions of learning, learning does equate to a change in behavior. In parenting for example, how is learning measured? If the behavior is changed. Therefore, for parenting, learning is a change in behavior.

I'd argue for many books the same is true, what is the use of a book if the knowledge is only in your head. Application, thus changing one's behavior, is essential for the proper use. Obviously this is not for everything the case, but I am highlighting a few scenarios where it would be accurate to say that learning is a change in behavior.

Nothing is ever black and white, it is quite simplistic to say such things, often there is a lot of nuance going on.

As Luhmann would say, it is foolish to think that things are black and white; in most scenarios there is nuance... So too is it with reading speed, it must be relative or else it is not accurate. Even speed within books can differ.

Aby Warburg, scion of a major banking family died on October 26, 1929, just two days before Black Monday on October 28, the stock market crash which marked the end of the "Roaring Twenties" and the beginning of the Great Depression.

Could family influences or changes at that time have caused small, but underlying issues relating to the crash at that time? What was the reaction of the Warburg family on early Monday the 28th?

Aby, as the oldest, would have inherited the bank, but by arrangement with his younger brother in their youth apparently gave it to his brother in exchange for books.

Ben Rowland uses index cards to outline the plot of his screenplays. This is a common practice among screenwriters. Interestingly he only uses it for plot outlining and not for actual writing the way other writers like Vladimir Nabokov may have. Both Benjamin Rowland and Duston Lance Black use cards for outlining but not at the actual writing stage.

Nothing stupendous here. Mostly notes on cards and then laid out to outline. Most of the writing sounds like it happens at the transfer stage rather than the card and outline stage.

This process seems more akin to that of Victor Margolin than Vladimir Nabokov.

Helping individuals achieve the feeling of flow is a prime motivator.

Definition: Flow is the pleasurable state experienced when the activity, while intensely focused, proceeds in a seemingly effortless, flowing manner—because every action immediately elicits the next action, without any hesitation, worry or self-consciousness.

Three conditions to achieve flow state: 1. have clear goals; 2. every action produces an immediate feedback. 3. the degree of difficulty or challenge of the task remains in balance with the level of skill

I did not know what the word miasma meant, after searching it up I learned that it was a "highly unpleasant or unhealthy smell". I wanted to learn more about what personal hygiene was like and how it changed during the time of the plague. I learned that it was a very unsanitary time and this helped to spread the plague. The doctors were unsure where the plague could spread from some, the community continued on with their everyday routine in little sense of where the disease came from which made the plague spread more.

This line particularly hit me, as a 'black girl' I have been googling this most of my life. At least anecdotally, I have seen a relative evolution of this search and have felt some of its impact. My family and I were often the only black people in the towns we grew up in, and I used the internet a lot to try and find out what people thought of me. I saw a lot of really negative opinions and did everything I could to reject the 'black stereotype' people always expected of me because I didn't want to be hated or thought of as 'that kind of black'. Now I know the internet, and google in particular, brings up a lot more positivity when it comes to black women, but it feels like whiplash. The kind of content that comes up, though more positive makes me fear the change is due to a marketing trend and not a true social change

INSTALLATION:

1. Install Python through pyenv (don't use python.org)
2. Install dependencies with Poetry (miniconda3 is also fine for some cases)

TESTING:

1. Write tests with pytest (default testing framework for Poetry)
2. Check test coverage with pytest-cov plugin
3. Use pre-commit for automatic checks before git commiting (for example, for automatic code refactoring)

REFACTORING:

1. Lint your code with flake8 to easily find bugs (it is not as strict as pylint)
2. Format your code with Black so that it looks the same in every project (is consistent)
3. Sort imports with isort (so that they are nicely organised: standard library, third party, local)
