* in the US. I find it a bit concerning when articles like this assume that all 7 billion people have had the resources to get the kind of check ups that would have their samples in a global database of genetic mutations.

Every Indian history textbook has had detailed overviews of the indus valley civilization ever since my parents were in school. (they’re in their late 60s). I think entire generations of Indians (and presumably Pakistanis) know of this city

has anyone done research on whether people in the 1600s or something had recorded dreams like these and what those were? i wonder if this is a consequence of the modern system or just inbuilt to us as a species.

Disagreements with this article via a claim that says technology inherently centralizes , to me, seems flawed. The concept of democracy was evolved as a system that could distribute social power in order to catalyze the wider involvement o
