  • What are the chances that visiting Steven Hawking is the most interesting/fun thing you can do, if you could freely time travel? I’d much rather go look at dinosaurs, or visit the construction of the pyramids, or go listen to Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech.

    I would counter that if you have a time machine then you literally have all the time in the world and you can do all of those things, and more.







  • But even then, you never know if you’re paying for higher quality, or you’re just being sold shit at a higher price.

    Back in 2000 I bought a pair of North Face shoes, when they were known as being a quality outfitter company. They were amazing shoes and I would replace them about every 3 years… Then around 2012 they had completed their shift to a fashion brand and their shoes barely lasted 6 months, but still cost the same.

    It sounds like he’s a good teacher, and not a preacher. A teacher shouldn’t explicitly tell you what their political beliefs are, and for the most part I don’t see much factually wrong or contradictory with what’s been said… other than maybe that Socialism and Communism always devolve into Fascism. I think it’d be more accurate to say they devolve into Authoritarianism.
