Big data finds the Medieval Warm Period


Posted: Aug 22, 2017

According to author Leo Tolstoy, born at the very end of the Little Ice Age, in quite a cold country: "The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he already knows, without a shadow of a doubt, what is laid before him." Very interesting article herein. ;

An enlightening article. It sort of explains my interactions with doctors through the years - MT

They're handicapped/closed-minded due to their "intelligence"; however, it seems to me that their kind of intelligence is actually a pure form of stupidity.

The overall split is positive in almost all demos except Democrats (30/45) and liberals (26/58). Majorities of independents (51/26), seniors (54/20), men (54/24) approved of it, but the biggest positive response came from Hispanics, 62/21 — even better than Republicans (58/12). Even women ( ...

Judging Stimulus By Job Data Reveals SuccessFeb 17, 2010

If that had happened, what would the economy look like today? Well, it would look almost exactly as it does now. Because thos ...
