Memento Mori

Fantasy writers should be more anthropology brained. More theology brained. More wacky intellectual history brained. You should be giving out interesting and novel but believable social structures. Oh they don't have monogamy they have some other thing and they're just as violent about it? Perfect. There should be religions that aren't just gods of x y z. Folio gods are out! And the theology shouldn't fall apart from a moderately intelligent person thinking about it for 4 seconds. Of it falls apart in five econds that's fine. Like just crazy enough to think that a real human society could get down with it. There should be like bizarre new architecture that ye oldifies modernist movements. Oh amd the thing where every city and region is somehow completely homogenous is crazy; do something else. Put people living together with a complicated history. Oh and you can just give them a completely different conceptual scheme for talking about gay and trans people. That would be fun. I should be saying "I never thought of it that way." Make up norms and then think what are all the ways in which this can go wrong. Tell me how people disagree on the interpretation of some doctrine. Create a parodying spectre of some constitutional arrangement. Go crazy

how to be a paleontologist in ten steps:

1. fall in love with the exceptionally dead
2. have questions about how they lived their lives
3. try to answer those questions
4. see how much we literally cannot know about the exceptionally dead
5. try to figure it out anyway through sheer chutzpah
6. succeed less than 1% of the time
7. cry
8. have an existential crisis about everything we cannot possibly know
9. contemplate doing something easier. like brain surgery or rocket science.
10. repeat

One of my favorite little facts about history is that the Mexican peso was functionally the everyday unit of currency in China in the 19th and early 20th century. Silver was one of the few western commodities that Chinese merchants were willing to trade in at rates that made shipping it to China (an expensive, arduous process) profitable; this trade became so voluminous by the 19th century that large everyday transactions even far away from port cities were conducted in pesos, in large part because Mexico's large domestic silver supply and existing transpacific trade links meant that the currency was stable (a known quantity to merchants in a time and place where relatively pure silver coins were otherwise uncommon) and readily available for use in trade

Zhang Zongchang, the bandit general of the warlord era, could call himself (or at least be called) "Old Eighty-Six" because of the peso - everyone knew or had a vague sense at least how tall a stack of 86 pesos would be, and that this was an impressive length for a guy's dick

How many penis nicknames does one guy need?

One penis nickname? Could be a joke, just goofin. Two penis nicknames? Compensating. Six penis nicknames? That guy's got a big ass dick.

thank u @morethanslightly for the math and the indelible mental image
