What Truly Moves This World: Ostensibly, politics drives the world. But in reality, war, religion, and slavery are the true forces behind it. War redefines core values and shifts the balance of power in society. Naturally, power also plays a role. Even though the Roman Empire fell, the Christian Church has lasted over 2,000 years. Religion always exceeds politics. No slavery now? Even without an explicit system, slave-like traits and statuses still exist across society. Maybe this won’t disappear until the end of the world. War, religion, and slavery are fundamental to these economic systems and monetary policies . The flow of money and changes in the economic system can be understood through these three forces. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
The "normal human body temperature = 37°C" standard was established in 1851 by the German medical doctor "Carl Reinhold August Wunderlich", who took millions of temperature readings from about 25,000 people and reported "36.2°C to 37.5°C". However, surveys in the United States in 1992 and the United Kingdom in 2017 found 36.8°C and 36.6°C, respectively. So in the past people deemed that the discrepancy was due to errors in old measuring equipment or methods. But Julie Parsonnet and her colleagues at Stanford University's School of Infectious Disease Epidemiology found a common thread in the temperature databases: People are cooler now than they were then. It wasn't just a measurement error. They speculated that medical advances had reduced inflammation and lowered the average temperature. We don't question the obvious. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
