RT Nick Szabo (@NickSzabo4)Hay fed the cattle that gave northwestern Europe its high-protein diet & the horses that powered its transport & farm equipment. Hay was the gasoline of stationary pastoral economies & their ultimate protein source.https://t.co/PAf5m0FFMMhttps://t.co/fye0ZvAzm9 ...

RT Nick Szabo (@NickSzabo4)Crushing & grinding greatly increases the surface area of bone much as the lichen's hyphae does for rock. Next step was applying sulfuric acid to the ground bone or apatite rock, giving us superphosphate, much as lichen applies oxalic acid to dissolve phosphate from cracked rock. ...

RT Nick Szabo (@NickSzabo4)Among the gazillions of nearly random fertilizer experiments tried by British "improvers", presumably somebody tried this ground bone. It worked wonders, especially on hay meadows which fix nitrogen but deplete phosphate. Here's a bone crusher from Zurich canton in Switzerland. https://t.co/aaSQFnr6ZC ...

RT Nick Szabo (@NickSzabo4)Now let's loop back. Drinking room-temperature alcohol, Europe developed glass craft while hot-tea-drinking China developed porcelain. Europeans look at chemical reactions through glass & discover modern chemistry, but "china" is still the envy of the world. ...

RT Nick Szabo (@NickSzabo4)Life itself underwent revolutions that increased its scale. One of the earliest was when it evolved the ability to break the triply-bonded N2 to create the single-N-containing molecules needed to make all amino acids, and thus all proteins.https://t.co/kEN69LuunW ...

RT Nick Szabo (@NickSzabo4)Besides amino acids made from scarce single-nitrogen molecules, another crucial building block hard for life to get from the environment is phosphate, out of which is made the core molecules of life: DNA, RNA, and the ubiquitous energy molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ...

Here's one.It took decades of hard work, and the most effective mass brainwashing tool ever invented -- television -- for pathological elites to manufacture the culture of gender confusion.It is taking less time for us in decentralized media to organize and dismantle it. ...

RT Nick Szabo (@NickSzabo4)Reality is quite the opposite of what you state: the highest Darwinian fitness of almost any culture is the Amish, who not coincidentally are also the most homogenous: they segregate themselves, in ways most of the rest of us considered rather extreme, from mass media and other subcultures. ...
