I think homeless people should go to prison but to avoid making it too harsh, they're allowed to leave and return to the prison whenever they want

Obviously you'd have to build special prisons just for that purpose

Trick Silicon Valley into building apartments for the homeless by telling them they're "disrupting" the prison industry by building prisons without bars, guards or locks and people are allowed to come and go as they please.

Are they made of spent ammo belts?

Anyway, they look relatively inconspicuous in the world of anti-homeless benches.

This is kinda a cute idea but it's got too much cheeseyness to it, like if it were an actual museum of capitalism that would be interesting but instead it's implemented as a museum from the future that boils down to things like "those wacky before-times people used to use magick "wands" to divinate the presence of dangerous items or pull visions straight out of the air!"

Also that wand collection was put together by a group called the "Center for Tactical Magic" :rolleyes:

The wand collection is my favorite part! It's exactly what you expect from an ancient history exhibit, which makes me wonder: did all those displays of tools, art, jewelry, etc. I saw in museums actually make sense, or were they meaningless jumbles of items that hardly relate to each other? In what proportion do archeologists understand those items, versus making up narratives about them?

Go on a dig. Seriously. You will learn how we know what goes where and why. Usually it's because the stuff is found next to each other, or shows clear evidence of being used for a certain task, and since a lot of it has been replicated experimentally, you can match those results to use-wear patterns and the like.

If the museum is worth its salt, there should also be some placard or description identifying the items and what the display is trying to do.

I can understand skepticism about stone tools because to an untrained eye they do really look identical and how do you really know? Etc. The unfortunate part of stone tools is a lot of the information is contextually provided or simply not visible to the naked eye, as Kite explains.

Unlike different technologies, lithics also span a very long length of hominid usage so a lot of very similar forms are seen over time/space, though you still can see some very clear regional chronologies or temporally and geographically isolated types (e.g. Clovis points).

But it's a museum of capitalism, that fails to show capitalism in any meaningful or useful way, except maybe that hand cranked minimum wage machine. It's like that loving "museum of ice cream"
