It's incapable of conveying anything if the civilization is lost. Maybe the mound builders had an incredible understanding of the land, maybe they didn't, but we can't say they documented it, at least not in any way that&#x27

How would they document it? In North America no tribe had writing until after encounters with Europeans. They only had oral tradition, which is helpful for preserving myth and little else.

Yes, the article is written from the Colonial perspective. Whenever a citizen of the US says unexplored they mean it from their cultural positionality. Shocking! The analogy presented is flawed because your friend discovering a house in a s

OK, so read your mainstream press, owned by the likes of Bezos, and enjoy your feeling of moral superiority or whatever. Pick your poison. I'm thankful Substack allows a place for Greenwald and Matt Taibbi and others like them. I belie

It's dangerous to think of people in terms of "the rest of us" and some other group out there plotting evil, against which one must be vigilant, for it is the case that the evil is in all of us, and if you spend too much time

Most programming tutorials are effectively ads for the author. "Want to get hired? Write a programming blog" is advice I've received many times.

Apologies; I misunderstood one of your links and thought sway had been renamed to wlroots. To be clear the "adventure" I'm talking about is for replacing desktop environment niceties like the ones provided by gsettingsd and t

That's right, we need to end fossil fuel usage right now. If we don't switch solely to solar and wind worldwide in the next ten years there's going to be an apocalyptic ecological event. It's a climate crisis. I don&#x27

You clearly don't understand how [Administrative Law]( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Administrative_law ) works, which is understandable, because it's a complex morass. We have, largely, FDR to thank for this,
