AI Thread Summary
The discussion highlights the appreciation for a video demonstrating simple yet clever techniques related to ancient civilizations' construction methods. Participants express admiration for the ingenuity displayed in the video, contrasting it with beliefs in anti-gravity technology used by ancient cultures like those that built the pyramids and Stonehenge. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding real physics over conspiracy theories and acknowledges the creativity and time available to ancient peoples, suggesting that their innovations stemmed from necessity and resourcefulness rather than advanced technology.

Clever. I like it.

That's what we have IQ for.
 
I showed videos of this guy to someone last year who persistently tried to convince me that ancient civilisations had anti-gravity technology and that's how the pyramids, stone henge and the modern day coral castle were built. Despairingly they still didn't believe the real physics of it and sent me links to crackpot documentaries.

That was very cool.

You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
