    The Antikythera mechanism was an Ancient Greek device that is theorized to have been an analog computer. It's functionality traced the paths of astronomical objects allowing for predictions of events such as eclipses as well as containing a calendar to keep track of dates such as the Olympics.

    Listen to this 1969 Sesame Street video. (You have to go to YouTube to hear it.)
    That's Grace Slick of the Jefferson Airplane doing the vocals.
    It was produced by her first husband Jerry Slick

    Economics have no demonstrable meaning outside of the context of language, especially in this modern information age. In one African country the king decided his people starving to death was unacceptable, so he had them try several thousand recipes for cooking a local plant that was deadly poison. They found what they needed to avoid starving, but not before several thousand of them died. Someone pointing guns at you and insisting you will trade with them is not interested in trade and its counterproductive to insist you are "trading". People spying on every word you use and stealing each others secrets is not "trade" nor is it communication. Information can make all the difference in the world, and economic theories that cannot account for fuzzy logic and neurology in particular are demonstrably total garbage.

    Lol

    Edit: I probably shouldn't "lol", but the way it was stated made me think it's not a serious remark. I hope it really isn't true.

    It's okay. From the little I have learned about Alonso through his posts, he's quite excited by his wife liking his friends cock.

    "They worshipped, so they said, the Great Old Ones who lived ages before there were any men, and who came to the young world out of the sky. Those Old Ones were gone now, inside the earth and under the sea; but their dead bodies had told their secrets in dreams to the first men, who formed a cult which had never died. This was that cult, and the prisoners said it had always existed and always would exist, hidden in distant wastes and dark places all over the world until the time when the great priest Cthulhu, from his dark house in the mighty city of R'lyeh under the waters, should rise and bring the earth again beneath his sway."

    - H.P. Lovecraft
