I would love to see a paper that traces the decline of civilization to the discovery of hummus by the west.

I read “hummus” as “humus” and thought you meant the decline began when man became self-aware 😂
Hummus is good!

My wife bought a container of black bean hummus and I just can't bring myself to open it. 😷

I used to run into my ex-teacher and eventual friend Edward Said buying hummus on Broadway at the Samad Deli (Lebanese); it was in fact the best hummus anywhere. HE wrote a book rather like the one you're proposing.

did you just retweet your own tweet from less than a day ago? should I send help?

Yes, I'm in Charlottesville. I have nothing better to do than retweet. Send help, or at least a chocolate cake.

Terrible confession: I have a container of "beet hummus" in my fridge right now. I'm almost scared to open it. Not sure what I was thinking.

The question is does it have chickpeas, which is what hummus is. If it's beat and tahini, it would be simply a kind of beat dip which is delicious, but it ain't hummus.
