Get a very warm jacket, and far enough north that there are still fish to catch and critters to snare.

George came here to kick ass, not to chew bubblegum. THEY LIVE!

I won't call wearing suits, talking on the phone, and lying work.

What would happen if politicians hat to work?

When we humans are feeling powerless (usually, we're right), we often do those things.

When we move somewhere else, for a while we're relieved. Slowly we realize everywhere has problems.

Makes sense. I can get away with material I know sometimes... but if it's a different performance, that's enough to spoil the effect.

Save up a stash of Interesting audiobooks, podcasts for times you're feeling like it'll take an hour or more. (Not -too-interesting.) Boring ones once you feel like keeping your eyes closed.

Great job!

I make a place look lived in by living in it. I might leave some small stuff lying around until I get to it. No biggie. Or I get tired of it where it is. Not tidying a whole lot ... just enough to be orderly. A magazine or two here or there, half read, waiting. Coordinated furniture? RU kidding? A pet plant (named) that needs water. Some of souvenirs here and there. Pix on the fridge.

Seldom more than 5 or 6 before using Firefox to 'close tabs to right'. It keeps a short history of recently visited URLs in the toolbar, and a deeper, searchable 'library' of visited sites going way back. Longer term interests I save to Bookmarks.

A musical instrument (with some very old sheet music, an ancestor used to play piano for silent movies), a stamp collection (with lots of stamps, some from the 1800s).

He was working for Tricky at the time. Tricky wanted to hear what Kiddinger was telling him. Had a talent for doing that for powerful people.

Shame he didn't die much sooner.

VG video. Confused by the word 'revolve'? How many times does the Earth 'revolve' around the Sun in a year?

But, worse yet, there were THREE correct answers ... none listed!

Most of us also ignore that 'the world' is a model in our heads that we've created with our senses. Some may make better models than others. But what does 'better' mean? Stubbing your toe less, getting sick less? Sherlock Holmes?

Also 'the world' is very complex and constantly changing. You're either revising that model or, at some point, you're living in the past.

My morals would go out the 'Robin Hood' door.

Hmm. Sure, Vlad. Wait: how much will that pay, per child per month?

Most Docus have hosts visit places and recite the standard history. Leaving out most of the unsolved mysteries that don't fit the standard narrative.

Hancock has literally travelled the world for decades visiting places. And documenting his finds. Try Wikipedia for his book list. Start book: 1985 Fingerprints of the Gods.

Several times on Rogan. Also made a Netflix series aired a couple years back.

Unlike the guy the history books call 'Alexander the Great'. A drunken mass-murdering King who never stopped sharing his misery until the day he died. Some hero!

Graham Hancock got a lot of people talking about pre-historical human civilizations. Explaining a lot of evidence all over the planet that Western historians just ignored.

Sure wasn't the Greeks or Romans or Egyptians that built/made/buried all of that stuff in China, SE Asia, India, South America. They were just as smart everywhere. But it didn't sell as many books.

Unnn... the whole is greater than the sum of the parts?
