* I find the choice of the things we are taught at school to be strange, somehow during the twelve years we spent it there they forgot to teach us about taking care of our health, at a point they tried to teach us what they know about how our bodies work, but they never taught us about the diets that are good, the optimal healthy habits, what not to do to fuck ourselves up, they even gave us this fake hope that humans have figured out the magics of the human body, while in fact doctors are mechanics that are fixing a machine that they don't know how it is working.
* That day while i was showing a documentary to a friend about a certain type of spiders that have two long front legs that they use for fighting instead of walking, the nature of those spiders is to dual in a way similar to a sword fight using those two legs, to add dramatic features to the duel BBC added music to the fight, and the sound of sword clashes to the fight, i was surprised when my friend said ' oh they legs sound exactly like swords' , he wasn't joking but was impressed, BBC and several others such as national geographic became that powerful, if they say that this animal sounds like this then it does, if this animal has this type of vision then it does, we rarely ask how they obtained this information and it seems we always forget that these channels like all channels in the world care about ratings and obtaining viewers, not about improving our scientific or general knowledge about animals and not about telling us about the means they obtained such 'facts'.
* The importance of this is that general knowledge becomes true knowledge, suppose a word is commonly misspelled, the misspelled form of the word becomes the right form, and you will have to correct the way you spell the word to match the well known misseplling.
