  • Egypt pyramids: Scientists may have solved mystery behind construction

  • Scientists may have solved the mystery behind transporting some of the materials to the pyramid site: a dried-up a river

    Fixed the title for you.

    The construction of the Giza pyramids is still baffling. Some of the stones are purported to weigh 80 tons. That's four or five times more weight than what modern trucks can pull on paved roads.

    It's not so farfetched to presume that this ancient civilization employed technology that is lost to time. I'm not talking about aliens and laser beams, but good ol' fashioned mathematics. They could have exploited a principle of leverage and incline that we simply don't understand or recognize. Or perhaps something entirely different from our six simple machines...

    The problem with this theory, of course, is that we like to believe that humanity is always progressing and that we are superior to our forebears by default. That is ultimately a subjective opinion.

  • Here's an example of a corporation demonstrating positive socio-economic change:

    The Basque Country’s Mondragón Corporation is the globe’s largest industrial co-operative, with workers paying for the right to share in its profits – and its losses.

    I grew up in Silicon Valley and I can testify what you already know: venture capitalists and tech CEOs are just dumb kids with a lot of money. Many of them landed in their positions by chance alone. We are not obliged to give them more credence than anybody else.

  • Did that happen to you?

  • What is so bad about living with your parents? That's still the norm in many parts of the world. For some reason western countries, and especially America, have exaggerated the benefits of being financially independent, as if shared resources were some kind of failure.

    I beg to differ. The only people who lose when we share resources are the capitalists.

    I've got a few friends in their thirties who live with their parents and the whole family is very happy. And although my kids are only six and three, I can't imagine any reason why I wouldn't want them to continue living in my house for as long as they needed support.

    We all need support. It's not a shame. It's an asset more valuable than property, imho.

  • You seem to know a lot about US military activity. Which branch are you in?

  • Biden administration set to greenlight $18 billion sale of F-15 fighter jets to Israel

    Jump

  • That's exactly my point. Israel is a US military base, from which it conducts a variety of operations in the region. It is very valuable to US foreign policy.

    Unfortunately the Biden administration has accepted that sponsoring genocide is a fair price to pay in exchange for that advantageous position in the middle east.

  • OK. I apologize for treating this like a multifaceted issue.

  • If by "we" you mean America then I would say that America gets an ally right in the heart of the Arab world, which is frequently opposed to American ideologies. The strategic location is enough to justify the American government's investment in Israel because it facilitates the US foreign policy, for better or for worse.

    I'm not defending their's or Israel's actions. I'd just like to remind everyone that the whole region is tense and complex. It has always been. Oversimplification of the issues leads to even more conflict, in my opinion.

  • Israel is surrounded by a burgeoning bevy of enemies. The jets are for their defense against Iran and others.

    I condemn the Biden administration's indiscriminate support of Israel.

  • I'm aware of the difference in motivation. My point is that people on both sides become radicalized by violence and therefore the cycle repeats with every generation.

    Please remember that innocent Israeli kids were also murdered, albeit in smaller numbers.
