(yes I know "dice" is already plural but it doesn't sound right otherwise)

Was there any real difference between Flavius Aetius and Ricimer aside from their ethnicity? Seems like the whole nefarious barbarian general trope of late antiquity is more of an institutional problem than anything to do with the migration.

Azathoth posted:for real, is that part of the etymology on snot? because split pea soup looks like snot from when you're really sick and is about as appetizing to consume split pea soup is good. yellow and green: both good. it is a sign of culinary weakness to believe otherwise.

I was reading about the trial and execution of Socrates and I got the impression that he deserved it, which is very different from what I was taught in school. He collaborated with a dictatorship that murdered a lot of Athenians, and in his defence he claimed that he didn't resist them but he didn't actively help them. There was an amnesty for anyone who committed crimes during the tyranny, so he was executed on a pretext of corrupting the youth, but really it was vengeance against the Spartan tyranny. Are there other historians who have this view on him, or am I way off base? They knew about rocks that emit light when crushed because they have phosphorus in them. A chemist would have known about it, but probably not the average person. Thomas Browne wrote about it in Pseudodoxia Epidemica, which is a fun 17th-century book about applying the scientific method to a lot of contemporary beliefs.

This is incredible and I'm so amazed that they could tell it was an amputation during life and not post mortem. I mean I know how they do it but its still incredible to me. Also given the extreme paucity of paleolithic remains, there's an implication here that this wasn't a one-off.

they implied it was done when the kid was very young and that may help mitigate something that'd send an adult into shock. given the civil war butcher tents i could see amputations being successful more often than not. it's roman trepanning that really freaks me out

They had incredibly sharp tools, sharper than modern scalpels and took apart animals quite often so im not surprised they had an understanding of anatomy and butchery

you know id only ever heard of this discourse because of the whole did u know some greeks hated writing this is why people complaining about new things are always wrong talking point but yeah hes clearly talking about the dangers of passive discourse versus active discourse it has nothing to do with writing being a newfangled invention

mawarannahr posted:Socrates: right or wrong? I think he's sort of right in that people won't bother committing certain things to memory if they know they can just look it up, but I don't think that leads to a general "forgetfulness" or lack of understanding or whatever so much as just a shifting of how and where we "remember" different types of information. Instead of having to commit all the little fine details of something to memory, we can just remember the broader strokes and remember where to look up the precise figures. Like I could tell you some general things about, idk, The Odyssey, but I couldn't recite it from memory, because all I need to know for the life I live is those broad ideas. And if I ever do need more precise information I know where to find it easily, although even that knowledge in a lot of cases can be reduced down to just "google it". And the bit about writing enabling people to "hear many things without being properly taught" is I think especially wrong. It's very easy to memorize something without understanding it, as Socrates himself shows in some other dialogues!

this isn’t the only or best study but just an example. I know people who i have seen struggle to walk or drive home in a city they’ve lived in for years when they can’t use their maps app. I think this could have done analogies in the matter of writing in general.
