Social San Francisco gets 16000 complaints about public defecation in a week

But I mean, just imagine you're a Nobel laureate for fundamental groundbreaking research in solid state physics, responsible for the most significant invention of the 20th century*, the founder of Silicon Valley and yet consider your personal side "research" into race, intelligence and eugenics as the most important work of your life.

* The (Fritz) Haber Process?

The early 20th century chemist who discovered the process for synthesizing ammonia from nitrogen in the air, the basis of synthetic fertilizer which forever revolutionized agriculture production throughout the world and feeds almost 50% of the global population today. That's billions of people who'd be starving to death, or rather: wouldn't otherwise exist at all.

Haber's also the father of modern chemical warfare and was the head of Germany's department for it during World War I, with his work directly leading to over a million deaths. He never expressed any guilt nor shame in the aftermath but was actually proud of his service stating, "During peace time a scientist belongs to the world, but during war time he belongs to his country."

He died in self imposed exile after falling ill only a year after the Nazis came to power in Germany. It's probable that given his eminence and earlier service to the country he could've held his numerous high ranking posts within the scientific institutions he was part of (Otto Heinrich Warburg did), but he opted not to.

I know about Shockley, just never saw the interview. Most geniuses die poor and alone, usually also with some form of madness...or like Alan Turing, chemically castrated and dead too soon. Even more are made to be unknown by the majority like Gordon Welchman who did far more than Shockley (in terms of tech) and next to no one knows his name and what he did...even his wikipedia doesnt mention most of his inventions due to the stigma around him and how most of what he invented were national secrets for so long.

He not only made Turings digital computer actually "work" and break the Enigma Code (he invented the long board needed to crack the code), he invented traffic signaling and later what is now called Meta Data...and what is now called the Cloud and changed how militarizes operate all over the world and that just touches on what he did. He died poor, an outcast and HATED by the 2 governments he served almost his entire life. Just because he told his story in a book.

But without him, no cracking the Enigma Code, no defeating Germany so easily, no stopping Russia in the Cold War, no edge to the wests militarily for decades that still exists today and odds are, no preventing what would have been millions of deaths in battles. He was also the guy that figured out that the British and French were going to be surrounded by the Germans at Dunkirk, got that information to Churchill and allowed for their eventual rescue fast enough to save some 600,000 soldiers in time. If that info had not come when it did, they would have been trapped.

The only documentary I know of that covers most of what he actually did for the world.

There was never a doubt in my mind about that, it was just a platform to drop knowledge in response for the posters browsing this thread who haven't heard of any of these people - and you delivered.

WORLD’S OLDEST HOMOSEXUAL COUPLE FOUND IN ANCIENT RUINS OF SODOM AND GOMORRAH, BY DEAD SEA

Two 5,000-year old male skeletons unearthed near the city of Tell el Hammeh, in the southern Jordan river valley, could possibly be the world’s oldest known homosexuals in human history.

The ruins that are under excavation by a team of researchers of the University of Tel Aviv believe the ruins are the remnants of the biblical cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, two cities allegedly destroyed by God’s Divine wrath because of the “wickedness and obscure practices” of its population.

Louisiana would still be pretty awful, regardless of race.

So two men died together and the assumption is they were gay? That’s some next level investigation right there.

Lol, Louisiana was getting some cold shoulder reviews in a Mayberry thread last week too. New Orleans is a special city and wholly unique; would be better if the crime rate was more comparable to what NYC has wittled down to though.

They found Sodom & Gomorrah!
