oooh thank you! I confess -- I must digest all of this. I deeply (and regularly) regret not taking a classics class in college 😅

*goes googling*

Fascinating. So Hellenistic was like the big "coming of age" moment for the region? what changed?

Which age of Ancient Greece?

Really? Yikes. That's so so so hard to swallow, given the current state

How is this and why does he have my last name 😠

The part that's most heartbreaking is that I know scientists who've made proposals like this. They're well-meaning but completely naive. I've attended UN meetings for5+ years and seen first-hand the damage these kinds of "studies" do to policy. They're on the wrong team and they don't even know it 😮‍💨

Add this to the list of:

1. Scientists think we should throw iron in the ocean to stop climate change

2. Scientists think we should pollute the atmosphere to stop climate change

3. Scientists think we should change ocean currents to stop climate change

Anything but policy, it seems.

Really?? I heard about an old dock too. So gribbles are still causing human headaches?

I’d add, for me at least, that this IS ultimately the kind of relationship I’d like to have with law enforcement, and that often does exist in small towns. Police should know the people of their community and be part of that community.
