“From the point of view of youth, life is an infinitely long future; in terms of old age, a very short past"

Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)

Civilization.
⠀
Years ago, anthropologist Margaret Mead asked students what they thought was the first sign of civilization. The students expected Mead to talk about fishhooks, clay pots, or worked stones.
⠀
But no. Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture is a femur that was broken and then healed. Mead explained that if a living being in the animal kingdom breaks its leg, it dies. With a broken leg, it cannot run away from danger, reach a river to drink, or hunt for food. It becomes prey for predators, since the bone fuses for a long time.
⠀
The femur that was broken and then healed is proof that someone took the time to stay with the person who received this injury, dressed the wounds, carried the person to safety and guarded him until he recovered.

Bundestag Deputy Gregor Gysi: We refused to negotiate with Russia, which I do not understand at all. Because militarily, Russia cannot be defeated. Unless we start World War III. But we cannot afford it. Of course, Ukraine has the right to self-defense, but you still have to… [Don't you want Ukraine to win?] It can't win! [How do you know that?] Yes, because then we would have to fight a nuclear war, or how do you imagine it? The Russian army is very underestimated.

Europe. A 12-year-old boy comes to the store, takes 2 cases of beer and goes to the checkout.
Cashier:
- You're kind of small. Show me your passport!
The kid takes out of the pocket a refrigerator’s technical passport, gives it to the cashier, the cashier looks at the "Date of manufacture - 1980"
The cashier counts and releases the kid. The store manager, seeing all this, approaches the cashier and asks:
- What was it now, why did you sell him beer?
- He was born in 1980.
- Did you really think he was a refrigerator?
- Well, I don't understand this sophisticated gender theory at all...
