You just confirmed what I said...

>The native Egyptians in Thebaid ("Upper Egypt", ironically now in the south of modern Egypt)

Isn't it Upper Egypt because the Nile flows "backwards" and this is upriver? Rivers generally flow "downward" based on elevation, so upper Egypt was the "higher" ground.

Time is a flat circle?

So how is that "ancient global trade"?

Since 1400 BCE or CE?

It's not about feeling sorry. It's about the message it sends. My point is that he serves as an example to others who might want to flee. The more failures there are, the more these low-level cogs will feel trapped, and therefore desperate to see the regime pull off a win.

But she didn't know that at the time.

What would you have done?

I think you're not thinking big enough.

Don't we want people to be abandoning the system? If enough people defect, hide, and rebel, this whole mess can be over sooner.

Don't let perfection be the enemy of good. In any evil system there is a range of leaders, supporters, and cogs: true evils, true believers, sycophants, opportunists, weak-minded and weak-willed sheep, uninformed and uneducated, etc.

It's not possible to ensure that all of those people get the justice they deserve, nor is it clear what justice the lower rungs of the system deserve. Think of Nazi Germany or Imperial Japan: many culpable people escaped punishment, but it was more important that the leadership face the music and that the system fall rather than hunting down every last pencil pusher that was indirectly responsible for the abuses of the system.

Trying to hold every last person accountable no matter how peripheral their involvement just encourages the system to linger longer, because every last beauraucrat and janitor becomes invested in the continued delay of accountability. Leaders have power and the ultimate responsibility, but they are nothing if the individual cogs of their empire melt away.

But he is not FSB

Stick it down into your alveoli and use it like a toilet brush.

That isn't getting in our lungs though. Not directly anyway.

I don't know why you would think that "natural" burned stuff is somehow "better" than "artificial" burned stuff. I mean, it could be, and certainly some artificial stuff is really nasty, but it's all really bad to be breathing in. It's not like we were "designed" to breathe in "organic" smoke. It's all bad.

We can see a very small sliver of radiation. Actually, radiation is the only thing we see.
