We also managed to get in touch with Rachel Fulton Brown, an associate professor of history at the University of Chicago. She explained to Bored Panda that while nobody is "ahead of their time," some people are more attuned to the patterns of time: "They notice things other people don't and put them together in stories."

The professor noted this is why it is so important to study history, and also why this subject is so hard to study. "Understanding which patterns are meaningful requires being aware of the frames through which we make sense of the world," she added.

"History requires learning specifics of dates, people, places, events, and things. You cannot do history (i.e. see the patterns in the stories) without knowing the details of who did what, when, where, and why. People who do not study history tend to generalize off of their own experience. People who study history deeply realize that their own experience is itself embedded in all of human experience," Fulton Brown told us.

Important new update on my health.

Regardless of what happens next I just want to thank you all for your prayers, kindness and support over the last few years. It has meant so much more to me than you could ever know. Please continue to fight for freedom and NEVER allow tyranny to win.

May God bless you all.

TIL: Ordinary ice is called ice Ih, because it has hexagonal crystals. But if you cool it below -37 °C, scientists believe it will gradually turn into a cubic form, called ice Ic.

TIL the control of fire by early humans a million years ago changed our sleeping patterns. Exposure to artificial light during the afternoon altered humans' circadian rhythms and contributed to a longer waking day, giving us 16 hours in the waking day while most mammals are only awake for half that.

TIL that GPS(global positioning system) technology was originally restricted to military use. In 1983, Korean Air Lines Flight 007 was shot down by a Soviet fighter aircraft after it had strayed into Soviet territory. US President Regan then authorized GPS use by civilians.

TIL During the 18th to 20th centuries, hat makers used mercury to stiffen felt for hats. Over time, the hatters inhaled mercury vapors. Many developed symptoms of chronic mercury poisoning, including psychosis, excitability, and tremors. Thus birthing the phrase "mad as a hatter".

TIL Spitfire planes were "crowdfunded" in some cases in World War II. Large scale contributors were allowed to give the plane a nickname which was printed on the side. For example, ‘Dorothy of Great Britain and Empire’ was named by a group of women, all with the name 'Dorothy'.

FUN FACT: The first person to introduce smallpox inoculation to England was Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, a fabulist and serial adulteress, famous in literary circles for befriending Alexander Pope and then mocking him ruthlessly when he declared his love for her. Unsurprisingly, she spent her later years writing her estranged husband about their son's gambling debts. She had had that same son, Edward, inoculated when he was not yet five years old, the "first English person to undergo the operation." In case you were wondering where the English-speaking world contracted its fascination with vaccines: they got it via Lady Mary who learned it from the Ottomans.

TIL Mel Gibson could not get any studio to fund ‘Passion of the Christ’. Instead of scrapping the film, he chose to fund it all by himself, an action which analysts labelled as “idiotic”. He spent $30M on the film & went on to make over $475M because he didn't have to split the profits

McLuhan on television politics, and charisma: "Charisma means to look like a lot of other people." To succeed in television politics, you need to look like a stereotype. A cartoon character, as it were.
