How would we know whether the cases that Graeber and Wengrow explore are sufficient to falsify the evolutionists’ claims?
This is a solid question and worth exploring.
Looking at it another way, perhaps Graeber and Wengrow are just showing a less teleological perspective with wider variance bars around the data to say that there are other potential possible outcomes? (Which they do.)
Allen Johnson and Timothy Earle’s widely read book The Evolution of Human Societies, which uses the Great Basin Shoshone of a century ago as one of its key case studies. Like the Cheyenne, the Shoshone spent most of the year in unranked, family-sized groups, but some of them periodically granted “rabbit bosses” and “antelope shamans” far-reaching powers to coordinate large-scale hunting and trapping.

Chuck Goldstein, was a members of The Modernaires singing group from the early/mid 30's until 1942. In 1940, they began singing with Glenn Miller and his orchestra. The day after Glenn disbanded the orchestra in 1942 (so he could join the Army), Chuck had left The Modernaires to pursue his own career. I believe around 1945 he formed a new singing group... That being Four Chicks and Chuck! They sung a few commercials, but they also did other songs. They sung with Kate Smith a decent amount. They weren't a long lasting group though, only going until around 1953. After that, Chuck formed Chuck Goldstein Productions, which focused on commercial jingles.

Caro writes everything in longhand first then types/revised it on his Smith-Corona Electra 210.
Caro only gave Gottlieb a piece of his LBJ bio draft when he ran out of money and needed an advance. Otherwise, he doesn't give his editor material until he's done.

Caro was on the 22nd floor (of 29) at 250 W. 57th Street for 22 years and wrote 3 books in a one room office. Joseph Heller had an office there as well.

@tomp your experience of finding the book binding text while searching for something entirely else is often called "serendipity". The way books are shelved in libraries helps to increase the chance that even if you don't find the thing you're looking for, along the way you might find other things of potential interest. Modern digital search often decreases this effect which was more common in the analog spaces of card catalogs and library books on shelves.
This experience is some of the unseen or elusive "magic" that Luhmann was referencing in his card “Geist im Kasten?” ZKII 9/8,3. You have to have the experience of searching for things and either finding or not finding them and running into entirely different ideas along the way to appreciate this sort of serendipity which is facilitated by physical zettelkasten practice. Otherwise it all seems very mundane. It's hard to see or demonstrate serendipity, and so people only see the papers and boxes and leave disappointed.

Andrew Carnegie’s Gospel of Wealth (June 1889) Andrew Carnegie, the American steel titan, explains his vision for the proper role of wealth in American society. The problem of our age is the administration of wealth, so that the ties of brotherhood may still bind together the rich and poor in harmonious relationship. The conditions of human life have not only been changed, but revolutionized, within the past few hundred years. In former days there was little difference between the dwelling, dress, food, and environment of the chief and those of his retainers. . . . The contrast between the palace of the millionaire and the cottage of the laborer with us today measures the change which has come with civilization. This change, however, is not to be deplored, but welcomed as highly beneficial. It is well, nay, essential for the progress of the race, that the houses of some should be homes for all that is highest and best in literature and the arts, and for all the refinements of civilization, rather than that none should be so. Much better this great irregularity than universal squalor. Without wealth there can be no Maecenas. The “good old times” were not good old times. Neither master nor servant was as well situated then as to day. A relapse to old conditions would be disastrous to both-not the least so to him who serves-and would sweep away civilization with it. … … The price which society pays for the law of competition, like the price it pays for cheap comforts and luxuries, is also great; but the advantages of this law are also greater still, for it is to this law that we owe our wonderful material development, which brings improved conditions in its train. But, whether the law be benign or not, we must say of it, as we say of the change in the conditions of men to which we have referred: It is here; we cannot evade it; no substitutes for it have been found; and while the law may be sometimes hard for the individual, it is best for the race, because it insures the survival of the fittest in every department. We accept and welcome, therefore, as conditions to which we must accommodate ourselves, great inequality of environment, the concentration of business, industrial and commercial, in the hands of a few, and the law of competition between these, as being not only beneficial, but essential for the future progress of the race. … … This, then, is held to be the duty of the man of Wealth: … becoming the mere agent and trustee for his poorer brethren, bringing to their service his superior wisdom, experience, and ability to administer, doing for them better than they would or could do for themselves. … The laws of accumulation should be left free; the laws of distribution free. Individualism will continue. But the millionaire will be but a trustee for the poor; entrusted for a season with a part of the increased wealth of the community, but administering it for the community far better than it did, or would have done, of itself. The best in minds will thus have reached a stage in the development of the race in which it is clearly seen that there is no mode of disposing of surplus wealth creditable to thoughtful and earnest men into whose hands it flows save by using it year-by-year for the general good. This day already dawns. Source: Andrew Carnegie, “Wealth,” North American Review 148 (June, 1889), 653–665.
What I find interesting about this statement is that Carnegie believes wealthy people should be able to make as much money as they can and then deciede for themselves how to helpothers. He seems to trust rich business owners to solve social problems more than the government. This makes me wonde: if wealth distributions should remain "free,' what happens to workers who are still struggling even though they helped create that wealth? Should the responsibility fall entirely on wealthy individuals, or should society have a role in helping address poverty?

This is a fascinating and potentially important preprint. The finding that LSD may influence conserved longevity pathways in Caenorhabditis elegans adds a striking new dimension to the modern reassessment of psychedelics—not only as tools for psychiatry and consciousness research, but possibly as probes into metabolism, stress resilience, cellular aging, and broader biological regulation.
I am especially reminded of the pioneering work of my grandfather, Eugene Seaich, whose short but remarkable 1959 manuscript, The Far-Off Land: An Attempt at a Philosophical Evaluation of the Hallucinogenic Drug-Experience, argued that LSD and mescaline should be regarded as serious instruments for scientific, psychological, and philosophical investigation. Writing before the cultural backlash of the 1960s largely halted psychedelic research, Seaich recognized that these compounds might open “fruitful directions for further investigation” far beyond the limited frameworks of his time.
This preprint is a powerful example of exactly that kind of expanded inquiry. While Seaich focused primarily on consciousness, self-knowledge, perception, and the philosophical implications of the psychedelic experience, today’s researchers are uncovering possible biological effects at the cellular and molecular level. The idea that LSD may interact with aging-related pathways such as TOR signaling would likely have fascinated him.
Whether these findings ultimately translate beyond C. elegans remains to be determined, but the study highlights why psychedelics deserve careful, open-minded, and rigorous scientific investigation. The Far-Off Land stands as an early historical witness to that vision—a reminder that some of the questions now returning to the laboratory were first asked by courageous thinkers decades ago.

minority “communities of interest” have historically only been guaranteed representation through the practice of “racial gerrymandering,” a practice ruled unconstitutional in the recent US Supreme Court’s decision in Louisiana v. Callais.
Unfortunately, the Supreme Court did not find this argument to be persuasive, ruling instead that the question of partisan gerrymandering is “nonjusticiable”—outside their jurisdiction. Subsequent rulings, such as Abbott v. League of United Latin American Citizens, give little hope that the Supreme Court will impede future gerrymandering.
The Supreme Court in Rucho v. Common Cause (2019) found that Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling wasn't persuasive and found that gerrymandering is "nonjusticable".

“Baas,” the black man asks at last, “Why has your house no windows and no doors?”The white man has become very sad. “That, too, you cannot understand,” he says. “Long ago in another country my forefathers built walls to keep out the sea. Thick, watertight walls. That’s why my house too, has no windows and no doors.”
Alternate perspective: In this scene the white man has become sad and shows a change in emotion from once being hostile towards the black man. He acts as a different person complicating his character because now he is not just seen as an opressor but as someone who might feel regret for their actions but won't change due to the oppressive system his ancestors established. The emotional shift occurs as they are finishing the house and changes from dominance to regret but the end goal of segregation remains.
Most difficult passage: I feel that the reading was overall easy to understand after, but what made this paragraph difficult to understand was the change in emotion from the white man. Why is there a shift in emotion in the white man? And why does he continue to build the house after he feels sad? Why are there no windows and no doors? The passage does not explicitly state the reason behind his change in perspective, but one can infer that the white man is aware that segregation is wrong but does not have it in him to change.
You’re the sea, the white man thinks, but is too sad to explain
Example illustrating a main point The purpose of the white man building the house was to keep the "sea" out, but in truth he is separating himself from the black man. This illustrates the main idea of segregation and also demonstrates that the barrier created has long existed and the white man is simply following what he has been taught.

Birds that feed on berries, mammals that rely on nuts, and insects that depend on flowering plants all experience population declines
Pollination is the biological process by which pollen is transferred from the male parts of a flower to the female parts, enabling fertilization and seed production.
“When pollinators decline, the first visible impact is reduced plant reproduction. Flowers may bloom, but without pollinators, they fail to produce fruits and seeds”

Urgent treatment for neoplasm consists of (1) cautious use of intravenous diuretics and (2) mediastinal irradiation, starting within 24 hours, with a treatment plan designed to give a high daily dose of radiation but a short total course of therapy to rapidly shrink the local tumor. Intensive radiation therapy combined with chemotherapy will palliate the process in up to 90% of patients. In patients with a subacute presentation, radiation therapy alone usually suffices. Chemotherapy is added if lymphoma or small-cell carcinoma is diagnosed
endovascular stenting emerging as first-line therapy for rapid symptom relief, while definitive treatment targets the underlying cause
Treatment of superficial vein reflux (see Varicose Veins, above) has been shown to decrease the recurrence rate of venous ulcers. Where there is substantial obstruction of the femoral or popliteal deep venous system, superficial varicosities supply the venous return and should not be removed.
Failure of venous insufficiency ulcerations to heal is most often due to inconsistent use of first-line treatment methods. Ongoing control of edema is essential to prevent recurrent ulceration; the use of compression stockings following ulcer healing is critical, with recurrence rates 2–20 times higher if compression stockings are not used
we know how this ends from the movie: don't look up (2021)
Superficial thrombophlebitis may occur spontaneously, often in pregnant or postpartum women or in individuals with varicose veins, or it may be associated with trauma, as with a blow to the leg or following intravenous therapy with irritating solutions. It also may be a manifestation of systemic hypercoagulability from abdominal cancer such as carcinoma of the pancreas
Superficial thrombophlebitis related to a PICC may be associated with occult DVT in about 20% of cases, but occult DVT is much less commonly associated with spontaneous superficial thrombophlebitis of the saphenous vein (about 5% of cases). Pulmonary emboli are exceedingly rare and occur from an associated DVT
Venoactive drugs (diosmin, hesperidin, horse chestnut seed extract) may be considered as adjuncts to compression for symptomatic relief in countries where available
Endovenous ablation is contraindicated or relatively unsuitable when venous anatomy precludes catheter-based treatment, specifically: aneurysmal dilation of the GSV close to the saphenofemoral junction, subcutaneous location of truncal veins above the saphenous fascia and close to the skin, and significant tortuosity of the GSV or SSV. [1] In these scenarios, high ligation and stripping is recommended as the preferred alternative (grade 1 strong recommendation
Endovenous Thermal Ablation (RFA/EVLA)
Relative contraindications include inappropriate vein size, with veins <2 mm and >15 mm representing potential contraindications for RFA specifically. [1] A history of superficial thrombophlebitis resulting in a partially obstructed saphenous vein may preclude thermal ablation. [1] Significant tortuosity of the GSV on duplex examination can make catheter delivery difficult.
Endovenous ablation is the preferred treatment for symptomatic varicose veins with axial reflux, offering less postprocedure pain, reduced morbidity, and earlier return to activity
Endovenous thermal ablation (radiofrequency ablation [RFA] and endovenous laser ablation [EVLA]) has largely replaced surgery as the standard of care
Ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy (UGFS) represents a less invasive option but has higher recurrence rates
highest incidence occurs in women after pregnancy. Varicosities develop in over 20% of all adults
involved, typically the great saphenous vein and its tributaries, but the short saphenous vein (posterior lower leg) may also be affected
Aortic dissection typically presents acutely with sudden, severe tearing chest or back pain, often described as lancinating in quality. [5-6] Approximately 50% of patients with thoracic aortic aneurysm may progress to dissection without timely intervention. [5] In contrast, thoracic aortic aneurysm is usually asymptomatic and discovered incidentally during physical examination or imaging for other indications. [5]
Earlier intervention is reasonable when high-risk features are present, including rapid growth (≥0.5 cm/year), symptomatic aneurysm, saccular morphology, or penetrating atherosclerotic ulcers
Any patient with chest or back pain with a known or suspected thoracic aorta aneurysm must be brought to the hospital and undergo urgent imaging studies to rule out the aneurysm as a cause of the pain
elective surgical repair is suggested at 5.5 cm in patients without underlying connective tissue disorders, with earlier intervention at 4.5-5.0 cm in patients with connective tissue disorders or bicuspid aortic valve
Most thoracic aortic aneurysms are due to atherosclerosis; syphilis is a rare cause
Ehlers-Danlos and Marfan syndromes also are rare causes. Less than 10% of aortic aneurysms occur in the thoracic aorta

Perhaps the most striking and certainly one of the mostcontroversial features of Rawls's Theory was his argument that "theright" subordinates (for purposes of the political order) not only material interests in the economic sphere, but also individuals' fully considered conceptions of the moral good, human flourishing, and finalends.2 Hence, Rawls's theory of justice was meant to be a systematicalternative both to the economic pragmatism of other modern contracttheorists as well as to the classical tradition of perfectionism in political theory.
protects diversity but raises the question of if a political order can truly remain neutral about deeper moral commitments.
- Tourist is an ugly human being* - It immediately establishes a critical tone.
- How alone you feel in this crowd- tourist fell slightly alienated but locals experience deeper issues like poverty and exploitation
- Heaps of Death and ruin- Tourists can leave anytime, while locals are stuck
- People who inhabit the place in which you just passed cannot stand you*- Tourists can leave anytime while locals are stuck with consequences of tourism
- And every tourist is a native somewhere- Travel freedom is privilege that many people in the world do not have due to money, or is it that they lack freedom of the mind?

You subscribe to the ideathat the formative years...create the beginning of a patternthat goes throughout your life?Yes. I would saythat the first five years of our livesshapes the personality structurein such a waythat any kind of spiritual workthat you're gonna do later......is going to involvelooking back at the patternsthat were set downin your family of origin.There's no way to avoid that?No. Because, think about it...I mean, anything that you werereinforced for in a positive way,you're gonna lock inas the way a person should be.So if people thought you, um...were especially wonderful if you broughtMommy the diaper for the new baby,then that's gonna tend to make youmore responsible.Maybe more responsiblethan you ever tended to be.Maybe super responsibleor maybe compulsively responsible.-Right.-So you start with where you are,but if you don't go backand see what's real and what's not real,then you're missing your way into reality,which is what spirituality is all about,as far as I'm concerned.It's distinguishing what's realfrom what's not real.And that's why a teacher is needed,and the teacher needs to bedevoted to truth.

Learn how to watch and rate movies people (rated for balance only)The people who rated this movie 1-star should get their heads out of their posteriors. Too many movie-goers these days seem to only see movies as either being the best thing ever or the worst thing ever. The only way a movie should get 10 stars is if it would be difficult to improve upon and the only way a movie should get 1 star is if it was absolutely ineptly made on every level, and I assure you this movie doesn't come close to that. Even solely rating on personal taste and ignoring the technical filmmaking and how successfully the movie achieves the filmmakers' apparent intent, this movie could hardly be in the worst 10% of movies for anyone's taste.This movie fails in many respects, but it has some redeeming moments and taken as a movie for small kids, it's not bad. The humor and acting both fall flat or miss the mark about as often as they're on target, but that is a sign of mediocrity, not atrocity.Unfortunately at this point most of the IMDb users seem to think that if they enjoyed a movie they should give it a 10 and if it wasn't all they hoped for they should give it a 1. For instance the Lord of the Rings movies were entertaining, but have no business being rated higher than Citizen Kane or any of the countless classics relegated to lower ranks here. Similarly. Zoom has no business being rated lower than a piece of garbage like I Accuse My Parents which wasn't even watchable when it was skewered on Mystery Science Theater 3000.Remember folks most movies are mediocre. That means a low rating, not the bottom rating. Furthermore, just because a movie is exciting or satisfying doesn't make it a 10. For example, one can love the original Star Wars movies and still realize they have occasional flaws in acting, direction, pacing, or script.Is Zoom a great movie? Absolutely not. Will some children, some parents, and even some adults without children enjoy it? Yes. Will it go down in history for being remarkable in any way? Probably not.

Youtube offers a "light version" and a "dark version" which I tried both to see their levels of contrast to the foreground/videos. I personally found the light version to be easier to view the videos and location of the search bar. However, the dark version is a less harsh option on the eyes and Youtube also applied the contrasting colour to all words to ensure ease of reading.

The tablet wasfound by archaeologists in the foundations of the temple of Inannain Lagash, called the Ibgal. This extensive complex was oval inshape, as were many Early Dynastic temples in other cities, with alarge courtyard and a platform on which Inanna’s temple wasconstructed.
What is the general history of oval-shaped architecture? Is there an explicit link between the Oval shape of the complex at Ibgal, the temple (or house) of Inanna in Lagash and the oval office at the White House?
Keep in mind that modern knowledge of large portions of the Ancient Near East only surfaced after the 1800s, so the tradition would have required intermediaries from the ANE into other cultures to be passed down to the building of the White House in 1792.
Yet othersdeveloped the skills to carve intricate cylinder seals used bymembers of the elite to identify their goods.

Presumably (is there a way to check), Luhmann gave this lecture while he was teaching from 1965-68 in his position at the Sozialforschungsstelle an der Universität Münster (Social Research Centre of the University of Münster).
22:48 "It's the gravitas of the situation that I see, that frustrates me that other people don't see it. I have been "preparing" intentionally since Hurricane Katrina, but I grew up on a farm in upstate New York. I know how to hunt. I know how to butcher animals. I know how to grow food. I know row crops and gardens. I know foraging in the woods. I know how to fish and where to get water from. And I understand how to move in a rural environment, not just the topographical terrain, but the human terrain as well. Been doing that my whole life. One could say, I've been prepared for this by the hand of the Most High my whole life. And I I see it. I see it coming. And it... while I would love to be wrong, it bothers me that others who do see it, or pay lip service to seeing it, don't take it as seriously as they should."

“Users” are a commodity, a hot one perhaps, but like any other commodity, can be bought and sold. In such an environment, goes the line of reasoning in the mind of the average executive, does it not make sense to heavily prioritise onboarding alongside user acquisition so that users won’t immediately give up or get distracted, or gasp, go to a competitor?!
When users are treated like a commodity by powers that be, there is a concentration on making apps "usable" and "universal" in order to avoid "churn"

2:47 We do not have to wait 10 years to conclude that we have reached 1.5 Degrees of warming. Satelllite data shows that earth is strongly out of energy balance.
3:09 An important factor is that IPCC's best estimate of climate sensitivity is a substantial underestimate. I will show that tomorrow in several independent ways.
3:28 Climate sensitivity is probably between 4 and 5 degrees Celcius for doubled CO2 rather than 3 degrees
4:28 What we witness now is scientific reticence on steroids, perhaps because IPCC was granted the position of supreme authority
4:43 But in science, supreme authority is not granted to anyone. Galileo proved that.
4:55 An example of expert herd mentality is the response to our global warming acceleration paper which Annie was coauthor on. The next day, these experts condemned our paper in the media.
5:26 Not one of them discussed the physics in our paper or explained what was wrong. Instead there were ad hominem remarks.

Intertwined with its concern over ethnicity and religion, the Orange Order presented an ideal of nationalism that differed from the conceptions being presented by other competing forces in Canada. While other Canadian thinkers of the early-twentieth century began to conceive of the Canadian nation as part of a North American tradition, along with the United States, or as a “northern nation” that, through the crucible of Arctic winters, broke with both the United States and Europe, the Orange Order celebrated Canada’s past and highlighted the accomplishments of the British in North America. As the Order saw it, the devotion of the Loyalists and the rise of an Anglophone hegemony in North America were foundational to Canada’s existence, and both owed their authority to British identity. Indeed, as Scott See points out with regard to the Orange Order’s Loyalism of the nineteenth century, The Orange Order served as a form of connective tissue to link the Old World with the New. It was a complex blend of full-throated dedication to the Empire and unswerving support for Britain’s imperial endeavors, as well as an indigenous pronouncement of colonial identity in North America that applauded the British connection, yet strove to articulate a distinct identity of Britishness. (See Citation2014, 182)

Flag is connection between Canadians and the British Empire. Again, empty identity though. " “the Flag of our Empire, upon which the sun never sets is the outward and visible emblem of our loyalty to the great British Commonwealth, of which Canada is an integral part” (“Forms” Citation1937). This strain of thought resembled the ideas of imperialists like Stephen Leacock, who before World War I had advocated for greater Canadian participation in British imperial ventures as a means of sharing in the military victories won overseas and the spread of Anglo-Saxon civilization."
