    The Dr. Seuss books controversy reminds me of the time I scanned the book Principles of Mining by Herbert Hoover. At the start I was pretty interested because it was by a former President; toward the end of Chapter XVI I was thinking: holy cow, this dude's a total bigot. It was an interesting revelation.

    The human brain grew as a result of the extinction of large animals I don't know that it's a complete explanation, but it's interesting to think about. This part was a little surprising: Becoming vegetarians made us more stupid. Heh, amusing.

    I'm pretty sure that everybody has biases of one sort or another, so eventually we'll all be cancelled and the world will be left to a genderless, bias-free AI overlord called "it who shall not be named".
