Deconstructing Racism and Sexism in the Envisagement of Western Civilization

[@ymac7245]

It pains me to see so many empty seats in front of him. This walking encyclopedia/funny guy deserves full lecture halls where students fight for a seat and the back is packed with students who didn't show up an hour before lecture to capture a seat, and now have to stand through a 2 hour lecture, but they don't mind, because his captivating lecture makes those 2 hours feel like they were too short

[@LobotimirMerkanski]

you are kidding right? those are empty by design. it's to have him filmed not his students. one of the reasons being they might not be on board with being filmed. so they are pushed rows to the back and out of the frame.

This might seem like a small mistake but for a Poli Scientist I’m kind of shocked. The city of Flint MI did not choose to switch to the other river to save money (neither did the people of Flint vote for the politicians that cut OTHER peoples’ taxes) - it was the Republican governor - appointed “emergency manager” who’s job it was to make cuts to save money. That little detail really kind of changes the point of that anecdote, doesn’t it?

Prof. Casagranda-- Re: The dark ages, any thoughts on the Younger Dryas impact theory and subsequently suspected extra-terrestrial impacts that align with major shifts in civilization? Namely relevant is that the dark ages align perfectly with a 600 meter meteor impact that created the Gulf of Carpentaria in Australia estimated around AD 450-500. The theory is that the massive shower of material and water literally made the dark ages dark with clouds and rain. The fire in the sky and creeping return of a mini-ice age has significant parallels to pagan beliefs that surpassed the church in popularity at that time. Interested to hear your thoughts.
