strudey··on The past was not that cute
I think there’s a version of the Malthusian trap that has explanatory merit - the idea that as population increased, you got diminishing returns from more people farming the same land. Population would therefore increase until famine, after which there would be good times until the cycle repeated. This cycle was broken by the industrial revolution.

  bin/rails generate migration CreateMessages chat:references role:integer content:string
Will need to add null: false and default: 0 on the enum manually if you so desire as Rails apparently doesn't support generating with those options.

The chicken assumes that the human will always care for it. Nature has not equipped it to deal with an intelligent predator.

strudey··on With No Inkling of the Contents: Viewing Narnia Through a Hindu Lens
There's a great book called 'Planet Narnia' (by Michael Ward, "the foremost living Lewis scholar") that argues (to me, very convincingly) that Lewis wrote the Narniad based around Medieval cosmology. Not the easiest read but, in my view, very rewarding and really provides insight into some beloved stories and how they relate to Lewis' religion.

Oh really, might read that. I read Black Man and enjoyed it. (possibly called something else if you're in the US, by the same author as Altered Carbon)
