I will bear all of that in mind. Have a good one. May the Force be with you.

He's already invaded Lebanon. I suspect Rafah's only been spared so they can focus on that.

I think that comment was aimed more at the Nobel Prize in Economics committee--administered and funded by Sweden's Riksbank--but your point does stand.

I get what you're saying but I'll point out he has our near-unquestioning support now.

Ah, gotcha. Have a good day.

Let me ask you this: why is defending the Nobel committee so important to you?

That's not what Newton did with the Principia. You can read it for free online to confirm this.

I teach a course on the history of science if you're interested.

Be a little careful with this one: as far as I know it's all based on one internal FEMA email. While the email itself is confirmed, the content hasn't been.

I'd like that to be true but the reality is the folks in charge will self-congratulate for a moment and then move on to the next "raising awareness" du jour.

Well no, but what I taught to high school sophomore is--believe it or not--based on the research that academics and specialists have been doing for generations. The same is true for high school science and math teachers, by the way.

Thankfully your attempt to look sophisticated allows me to reiterate my point: this has been heavily researched, documented, and explored for several generations now. It's only news to people who have had the privilege of ignoring colonialism; many of them are in positions of authority or prestige. I'd recommend taking a look at the work of Franz Fanon or Aimee Cesaire to get a sense of how far back this line of thinking and research goes. Read that and I'll pass you some more global academic research on the topic.
