It's easy to disprove a negative. Simply find life on Mars.

I think you meant, it's impossible to prove a negative. More specifically, to prove that something does not exist.

Very fond memories indeed of playing this DOS game on old Celeron and Pentium II.

The game is honestly much better than the Marios and Sonics that it was trying to mimic (at least part 5 and 6 were IMO)

If those CPUs are old, what does that make the 286s the game was made for.

I originally ran Commander Keen 4 on a 286 using a 5.25" floppy I got from some kiosk that was selling shareware disks.

Nope they dont. In fact it has shown to slow their development (social, mechanical, physical, speech).

Kids should be playing in the real world for a long time before they are exposed to the virtual world.

But so often parents make these decisions based on nostaliga ("Oh look my 3 y/o son is playing Zelda just like I did when I was a kid")

I recommend this one myself. https://www.amazon.com/Genghis-Khan-Making-Modern-World/dp/B...

As a Mongolian I highly recommend "Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World". It remains strictly factual without adding neither positive nor negative biases to the stories.

It is the opinion of many historians that history cannot be objective. All writers need to make decisions when writing a text: what to include, what to omit, and even what sources to read (because you cannot read them all). Those decisions are influenced by the author's upbringing, culture, and values.

Here's an excerpt from an excellent article which discusses this:

> To better understand history, I think historians should begin to admit their limitations. For example, I have chosen to study Emperor Franz Joseph’s role in the lead up to the First World War. I examine an angle of the declaration of World War I that is little studied. Yet, it also raises some concerns as to the subjectivity of my work. Because I am focusing on the person of the Emperor, I am bound to attribute more agency to him than someone who studies the Great War from a purely national or international perspective. This leaves me predisposed to seeing Franz Joseph as a key actor.

As a resident of Brooklyn I also recommend it very highly. It's an uncommonly well written narrative, and fascinating insight into an era of history that you really don't get in the standard US public school curriculum.

It did not come across that way to me at all. I thought it was a great read through and through.

Pardon the crassness but this statistic as well as the study behind is is utterly useless.

This really doesn't tell us anything.

You could instead speculate that what we consider the "Visual Areas" of the brain are more than that. Hence we have been wrong about those parts of the brain.

oh really? there are petabytes of data proving ads work?

Yes...
