The Rouen Cathedral is so impressive that I find it suspicious since there's nothing like it in that period. I think the "and then totally redone again at the end of the 14th century" (after 1300) carries the answer but I dou

I think part of it is that geniuses gets (or at least feels) rewarded whenever they try learning, while other people might not. For the same amount of effort, the amount of new knowledge gained by other people is fewer than what geniuses ca

Mmm both of those are from 1400s and OP do limit it to 1300. And that 1300 limit is for good reason. Renaissance is usually dated after 1453 and that's when European art quality exploded. So yeah, those examples instead prove OP's

This is the same reason why I'm disappointed that Pinyin won over Wade-Giles. If Hepburn can be acknowledged to be better than Kurei-Shiki, then Wade-Giles is also better than Pinyin. At the very least we'll no longer have to deal

Yeah a simple of total points of pro comments vs total points of con comments may be simple and exact enough to simulate a prediction market. I don't know if it can be included in the prompt or better to be vibecoded in directly.

Yeah it's an interesting discussion whether schizophrenia causes smoking, or smoking ease schizophrenia, or smoking worsen schizophrenia, or they just often go together for whatever reason (maybe genetics) https://slatestarc

But it also contain the most people. Industrial age contains even more people but it hasn't defeated agricultural age yet because it's still so recent.

Considering that post-arithmetic math rarely use numbers at all, and even ancient Greeks use lots of lines and angles instead of numbers, I don't think Roman numerals would really hold math that much.

Any X-ist name now grate my ears, especially when it's new. Always seems like an ugly patchwork before a "proper" name is coined.

For electric vehicles, in third world countries the most obvious bottlenecks are pricing and infrastructure. However despite that, I'm quite surprised by how fast adoption actually is even when it's not as fast as first world coun

Since this is scooters who rarely even reach >150cc, it's actually quite safe since it's slow and light. There are always high risk when we want to go to very rough roads that are also full of trucks (common in rural areas), bu

I got curious to see how many people have cars in Jakarta. While cars per capita of Indonesia is extremely low (~80 / 1000 people), the one for Jakarta is at respectable ~300/1000 people, not far from NYC at ~400/1000 people.

I think tying it to pension age would make a very interesting dynamic. I can see a lot of incentives and alignments around the issue would instantly shift around, and I think for the healthier and will incentivize finding the true ideal pen

At least in the two holy cities itself, Indonesia has quite significant pull. Because our pilgrims heavily outnumber lots of other nations. To the point where sellers around the city usually knows a least a word or two of Indonesian.

Everytime I see the ocean of scooters, I wonder how horrible it'd be if scooters weren't invented but instead everyone use cars like in America. Either it'll make the most legendary traffic jam ever or GDP will be cut in half

Hmm it's a bit surprising. Usually when I checked, it'll never be under 100. Maybe the current rainy season helps?

Feels like culture in general has become fragmented, or in other words, more personalized. It was said that Top 10 Hit Songs or Movies would be recognized by everyone because it'd be the only thing playing in radio. Now that everyone

I've heard that a lot of trees are grown from forgotten squirrel seed stashes. So at the very least they do store more than they eat.

It's hard because while for a 1 in 10,000,000 achievement, even if they're lucky to get 1 in 1,000 just by being born at the right place/time, they still need to fought hard for the rest of 1 in 10,000. I've seen people

And this is why I can't take anyone's fascism definition seriously. Those definitions are contradictory, and include and exclude governments that don't deserve it. Especially when they try to imply that X = fascist = bad guy.
