The Past as Unexplored Territory

I’ve written a number of articles  about how to get into the head of someone who thinks differently from you.   But in the last couple of weeks, I was reminded of just how hard this is by the stories of two different men – Eric Swalwell and Samuel Pepys.
If you have a newsfeed and a pulse, you’ve probably heard that Representative Eric Swalwell has dropped out of the California Governor’s race and resigned from Congress.  He really had no choice after he was credibly accused by several women of sexual harassment and even rape.  (He denies the rape accusations.)…

We look up at the Moon and see one side facing us. I wonder how history would have changed if we had looked up at a moon that was constantly turning. Would we recognize that it was a sphere? Would we then realize that we too were on a sphere? Would it have catapulted our scientific knowledge by centuries?
