As an Assyriologist who would like to spread the fact that contrary to common opinion, thinking and related things were not invented by the Greeks, you cannot imagine how much I appreciate you pointing out that the 'Pythagorean' a2 + b2 = c2 was in use for an awful long time in Babylonia before he "invented" it.

      Example: driving to the in laws 4 hours away. Mention to my husband how it's weird we haven't seen any big rigs 3 hours into the trip. Usually it's just us and the big rigs. I prefer driving at night. But I was super lonely. It was the first week of June. So no holiday or anything.
      5 minutes later we've got three behind us and two coming from the other direction.

      Just like the unscientific and dangerous high age of consent laws. When most nations are under 18 for a reason, since puberty is puberty and life expectancy has gone up.
      The brain fully develops at 25, not at 18. And age of consent is just very new and very flawed.

    Maybe Pythagoras and his buddies were the first to believe in a simulated reality (in a few years, maybe decades, virtual simulations could be so realistic that they would be so undistiguishible from reality that Pythagoras wouldn‘t have been all that wrong - considering people like to sit A LOT in digital media)

The thickness of a $100 bill is .0043 inches, so it would take 3,256 $100 bills, which totals to $325,600, for Uzi to reach 6 foot 6 inches. This estimate only applies if Uzi manages to stand upright on only one stack of bills, which have a width of 2.61 inches and a length of 6.14 inches. If, however, Uzi used two stacks strapped to the bottom of each shoe, he’d need double the amount-$651,200. His net worth is estimated to be around $17 million.

      The Greeks were masters of the elenctic method; nothing was beyond dispute for the Greeks, not even the existence of the Gods. Greek intellectual culture had a high regard for rhetoric and rigour, and it is this climate, absent in other mathematically advanced parts of the world like India, China and Egypt, which lead to the development of mathematical proofs. When Pythagoras heard of the theorem, either he or (one of) his followers devised the first proof for it, hence the name.

    Hot take: Pythagoras made up his own life story, he hung out in Egypt for a while but didn’t do anything special. Once it looked like Persia was going to invade he just went back to his home town, never met the magi, and spun a convincing yarn about becoming a math wizard to become a cult leader. I don’t know a lot about math history, but I know cult leader bs when I hear it

      I think he learned something from the Mystery Schools of Egypt and Babylon, mainly because he had a surface-level understanding of aspects of sun worship (which formed the foundation of the Mystery Religion), i.e. not peeing in the direction of the sun. He probably got kicked out of the Babylonian school by the Magi when they realized he was a huckster who would sell their secrets to the highest bidder, or something of the sort. Certainly his weird quirks were unfounded by critical thinking and if the practices of his cult represented some higher level symbolism, they were unique to only his cult (Egypt and Babylon shared many similar practices since Egypt supposedly derived its Mysteries from the Babylonians).
      In essence, Pythagoras was the Joseph Smith (founder of Mormonism) of the ancient world.

    I can relate to the TV volume thing, but for me, I like to do multiples of 5.
    20 and 25 are my usual go-to's

    Interesting factoid about the fava beans. That line from Silence of the Lambs makes so much more sense now.

      I'm familiar with the frequent title changes. Is it an inside joke or is it just for clicks? Do we even know.

      I'm curios what the new title's gonna be. "Meet the people who worshiped numbers" or something like that perhaps.

    Side note: Croton, where Pythagoras spent the last part of his life, was a Greek colony founded in what is now the Calabria region in southern Italy. Pythagoras died in 495 BC, about 15 years after the founding of the Roman Republic, so Croton would have fallen to the Romans soon after his death [I'm not sure of the exact date].
