Mostly stupid jokes. Maybe math, ultimate, Weird Suns, and whatever else catches my attention.

    Bousso's holographic entropy bound implies that Earth can contain at most 10^84 bits of information. Thus if the total number of dollars in existence must be represented as a binary integer stored on Earth, the US government can issue at most $2^(10^84). Checkmate, MMTists.

    The presidency really ages the office holder, people say. But the only way to truly test that is to have a control group by electing Julian Castro and seeing how he ages in office compared to his identical twin brother Joaquin. Not an endorsement, just science.

    "NYC is one of the world’s most desirable cities because it concentrates human endeavor beyond the level that private cars can support; expecting others to shoulder the burden of one’s own private car travel in such an environment is at root antisocial."

    Smallpox was the first to be eradicated, but it doesn't have to be the last. Other diseases will be harder though. Polio has taken over 30 years and isn't gone. Tuberculosis has a long latency period. Yellow fever has an animal reservoir. Malaria and HIV don't even have vaccines.

    -Prices are multiplied by a smaller factor to account for increased productivity -Character names are inserted in some places where the use of pronouns becomes confusing when they're all "she" (many passages remain confusing, however) -Probably a few other things I forgot about

    -References to Christianity are replaced with references to science and academia -Some technology is replaced with futuristic equivalents, but there are no electronics, so they still write physical letters -Amounts of money are multiplied by 1000 to account for inflation & growth
