I didn't even know they went to university...

An admirable ambition. For now, however, let’s just start by being coherent Or at least succinct

So I feel weird keeping asking that, but remember the virus outbreak and how the party in charge of dealing with it kept pretending it was harmless? I mean, come on, it is not an niche event and it is frigging still ongoing.

Recital of this victory for England always reminds me of the curious fact that at school we learned about this battle, Crecy and Poitiers, but were never told that England lost the Hundred Years War, to France. It's one example of how history is often taught, or recollected, in a partial way, in order to bolster national myths. These national myths can have real consequences.

I'm no expert but I'm always willing to learn. And it's related to science and engineering very directly. For example: -Espionage and the like from Julius Caesar to the Cold War (cryptography) -The paradox of the two generals or the coordinated attack (logic) -Alloys and other materials from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age to Magnesium alloys (materials science) And then, computers, ballistics, chemical warfare, biological warfare, cartography, the MAD strategy during the Cold War. Some of them very unnerving topics, but very interesting nonetheless. There are very knowledgeable people here, and I think those would be very interesting discussions.
