"affirmation of his individual self as the godhead, as opposed to this idea of a perfection that is inherently greater than the natural soul. “Infinite stairs is unacceptable” means ‘take your holier-than-thou nonsense and stick it"https://t.co/12yJwEQ3rchttps://t.co/ojDAICLPXA

Later in life, a multiplayer variation of Hammurabi would be the incentive for me to learn to write HTML and directly inspired my taking of college courses during a summer."Ambar War for The Elemantals"I still play https://t.co/RboOiDbffp for the nolstagia.

What, you think I had an entire thread about recreating the Antikythera mechanism because I like clocks? No, I was researching how ancient cultures may have related to the sun.https://t.co/avZxJrztST

Did you know head injuries impact your sense of direction?https://t.co/eHdPx3Eh48In other news, they are using virtual reality to test people's sense of direction in mice mazes but are entirely neglecting controlling for Magnetoreception.https://t.co/OJYHmvuYeU

Learning a new language involves finding novel and memorable connections between your existing lexicon.Apparently an equivalent of a Sumerian 'king' was denoted by referring to male genitalia. https://t.co/28IftsDJQ9 https://t.co/g54yke401n

"The symbolic meaning of the hedgehog to Sumerians is a mystery although, they may have shared the same beliefs as the Egyptians who saw the awakening of hedgehogs from hibernation as a symbol of rebirth."https://t.co/6gqxDsZ08j

𒋧 is apparently Sumerian for garlic.But is also used as the verb 'to give'https://t.co/eUXJ3yZsN6Wish language practitioners would stop verbing nouns. That's so gauche.

Seeing 𒌉 show up again and again in relation to kinship and family. Or particularly child. It looks like boobs a bit.Makes me wonder what Sumerians would have fetishized. I know for a lot of history nipples weren't seen as taboo.https://t.co/pTKYMEIWMo

@ultimape I assume they expressed it more freely, and that it was less because it was never caged by reading or writing.
