Midnight Burger Episode 40 Spoilers

You ever hear that old chestnut about how most people neglect the part of the story of Icarus where he also had to avoid flying too low, lest the spray of the sea soak his feathers and cause him to fall and drown? You ever think about how different the world would be if Icarus died that way instead? If the idiom was to Fly To Close To The Sea? A warning against playing it far too safe, about not stretching your wings and soaring properly? You ever think about how Icarus died because he was happy?

Skip Google for Research

As Google has worked to overtake the internet, its search algorithm has not just gotten worse.  It has been designed to prioritize advertisers and popular pages often times excluding pages and content that better matches your search terms 

As a writer in need of information for my stories, I find this unacceptable.  As a proponent of availability of information so the populace can actually educate itself, it is unforgivable.

Below is a concise list of useful research sites compiled by Edward Clark over on Facebook. I was familiar with some, but not all of these.

⁂

Google is so powerful that it “hides” other search systems from us. We just don’t know the existence of most of them. Meanwhile, there are still a huge number of excellent searchers in the world who specialize in books, science, other smart information. Keep a list of sites you never heard of.

www.refseek.com - Academic Resource Search. More than a billion sources: encyclopedia, monographies, magazines.

www.worldcat.org - a search for the contents of 20 thousand worldwide libraries. Find out where lies the nearest rare book you need.

And if I said Richard Alpert is hot? What then?

Dear video essay creators. A video analysis is when you analyze a piece of media. No no look at me. A summary, no matter how thorough, is not an analysis. An analysis requires you to draw conclusions about the media such as authorial intent, real-world parallels, discussion about themes/worldbuilding/character motivation, and so much more. You have to stop summarizing something and saying that’s analysis. The Gaylors are doing more critical analysis than you. Is that who you want to lose to? The gaylors?

“You tell me to be a biblical woman. You tell me to be a biblical so that I might become silent, complicit, weak. Become a biblical woman. Become complacent with the authority of a man. I am a biblical woman. I am Deborah with the power to control the armies, the wisdom to prophesy. I do not tolerate the cowardice of men. I will give victory and honor where it is due: to the woman who is brave enough to stand. I am Jael. I have the blood of the enemy on my hands. I saw a victory for my people and I took it. I took with a warm glass of milk and a tent peg to his head. I am a biblical woman. I am Esther, who stood up to the men in power and saved my people. I used my beauty and my position to do what is right. I am a queen. I am Ruth, a foreigner who left everything she had for the sake of loyalty to family. I seduced the man who I knew could provide for me. I worked hard to provide for myself and for my family. I am a biblical woman. I am Bathsheba, who was taken advantage of by the king. I am more than just a bathing woman on the roof. He objectified me. He murdered my husband. And he was the one who paid the price. I am Abigail, whose wit and wisdom prevented violence. I rescued my husband from his own foolishness, and I prevented the King from acting rashly and violently. I am brilliant. I am a biblical woman. I am Rahab, the prostitute. I am Mary, the pregnant teenager. I am Junia, the female apostle. I am Dorcas, the woman who served the poor. I am the woman at the well. An outsider welcomed into the kingdom of God. You think that I must be silent and meek to become a biblical woman? You do not know what a biblical woman is.”

For all the men who have made biblical women out to be nothing but silent property.

Okay!!

Three facts about agriculture:

Agriculture in the US makes up over 20 million jobs. I’m not sure about other countries, but I would argue it was that amount or more easily.

From an education standpoint we look at it as Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources. They are all things that are so interconnected you can’t have them without each other.

The average age of farmers worldwide is 60 years old- in the U.S its 55. This could have major implications for food security in the future unless a whole lot of people worldwide decide to get involved in growing food.

Plus a bonus fact:

There are +9 million dairy cattle in the US. Each can produce 6-7 gallons of milk in a day.

There’s a disturbing lack of agriculture content here.
