This is neat. The calendar from 1895 and 2019 share the same dates. Mind the prescient quote.
Everything comes in circles…The old wheel turns and the same spoke comes up. It has all been done before and will be again…

In 1911, Swedish film company Svenska Biografteatern recorded its trip to New York.
Fortunately, the footage survived and most recently was speed-corrected and reproduced with added street sounds of car horns, horses, and police whistles to give us a sense of the environment back then.

The history of the price tag goes back to the founding of brick and mortar stores.
Can you imagine having to haggle over everything you bought in a store?
But as businesses got bigger in the 1870s, shopkeepers needed a way to streamline pricing for both sales clerks and customers alike. Two department stores helped pioneer the price tag: Macy’s in New York and Wanamaker’s in Philadelphia.
They adopted the Quaker’s concept of one price on all items, no questions asked. Price tags thus removed the hassle for both stores and the customers.
Dynamic pricing still exists though. Whether it’s an Uber surge or last-minute airline tickets to Tahiti, we churn across the internet looking for the best price.

In this video, the later Christopher Reeve who played Superman explains what the fictional superhero represents.
In a world of selfishness ushered in by smart devices and social media, Superman as a friend metaphor is a subtle reminder of the power of relationships.
It’s nice to know that there’s someone out there who’s willing to offer a hand and be a friend regardless of supposed differences, whether that be in race or politics.
Big thinking, small fragile world — such prescient words from Superman in the tribal world that is today.

Neanderthals were great hunters but poor artists.
According to a study done by professor Richard Coss, their inability to draw could’ve been due to the fact that they didn’t have to plan as hard as Homo Sapiens to hunt down prey in their native Eurasia.
Homo Sapiens, on the other hand, chased hard to get game in the open grasslands of Africa. They developed superior hand-eye coordination as a result of drawing out their prey on cave walls. Such artistry not only made them better visualizers and hunters, but it also helped them develop smarter brains.
Historian and author of Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind Yuval Noah Harari also argued that while Neanderthals might have had larger brains than and an even superior tools to fellow Homo Sapiens, they lacked communication and shared stories, concepts that emerged from rounder skulls.

Margaret Mead was an American cultural anthropologist who famously journeyed to American Samoa in 1925 to study adolescent behavior among the nonliterate peoples of Oceania.
Her book Coming of Age of Samoa is the result of her fieldwork.
Mead was also widely known for her progressive views on sex, providing a key spark on what would become the Sexual Revolution in the 1960s.
Below is a comprehensive list of her sources of insight for her social anthropology studies.
Always remember you’re unique. Just like everybody else.
There is no greater insight into the future than recognizing…when we save our children, we save ourselves”
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed. It is the only thing that ever has.
Children must be taught how to think, not what to think.
