Ever since I learned in school about the types of discussions had after desegregation became commonplace. Its been in the back of my mind how people will use "women's safety" and "children's safety" as a reason to commit violence.

This is so incredibly common, you can see it in every political movement:

- desegregation. Men of color were treated as predators out to get women and children. Women of color deemed a threat to 'the good hwhite women and children'.

- gay liberation. Gay men were "out to get your sons" and gay women were "satan reaching out to your wife"

Now, with transgender liberation being a big talking point, we have trans men being painted as either "predator out to trans your daughter" or "confused little autistic woman girl we need to protect from herself!" And trans women get the "dangerous predator in the women's toilets watching ur wife piss and texting ur son telling him to wear a skirt" treatment.

Again, the urge for even 'feminists' to lean back on "what about women's safety?" Or "you're a man you dont get a say in this!" Or "but what about the children?" Isn't a good urge to have.

Protecting people is noble and a good cause. Using the protection of people to shut down a minorities conversation about their oppression, or using it to attack them, though? That's different.

lowkey what is the point in delving so deep into old religions. do u do it for fun because i struggle to see how a like idk 400 year old monastic sect relates to modern understanding of religions. this isn't an attack btw i get delving into stuff that interests u but like. is there any more behind it? also you are cool and smart

Little more than 400 years ago, in the 1500s, in what is now Germany there was a guy named Phillipis Aurelius Theophrastus Bombastus Von Honenhiem. But he was a big asshole, so his classmates at university called him "Cacaophrastus" which literally means shit-talker.

He hated how medicine worked. See, even up until 1600, medicine hasn't changed much since the ancient world. The most up-to-date medical textbook, the core of physicians teachings in the 1600s, was a book by Galen. Galen was from Rome. People had invented guns, but they hadn't really improved on how Galen thought medicine worked.

Theophrastus, who called himself Paracelsus, was a bit of a rebel. He saw alchemists doing all this fantastic stuff with manufacturing new types of dyes and cosmetics and metal alloys, and he thought, why not use all that stuff for medicine? So he got to using cutting edge knowledge for the purpose of healing the sick. Which he did.

Do you know what the pre-paracelcian prescription for a musket wound was? A poultice made of cow shit and feathers. Paracelsus said to keep the wound clean, and let the body do it's thing. This saved uncounted lives.

He performed experiments, giving the same substance, in the same dose, to different people, and even testing on animals with different phyiologies, and observing how the same amount of the same substance can affect bodies didferently. He wrote "The dose makes the poison" thus inventing the occidental science to toxicology. Every time you go to the doctor, and don't get poisoned, you have this 1500s wizard to thank.

And he was a wizard. Medical knowledge at that time involved the construction of astrological talismans, made of magically imbued metals which counteracted the astral forces thought to cause illnesses. Along with inventing the foundations of modern medicine, he also engaged in the construction of magical amulets and potions, the theories of which all informed his work. Work which formed the foundations of modern medicine.

It's important to know that ideas don't just manifest out of thin air. Everything you do and think is built on vast ziggurats of human ingenuity and failure, and shaped by the history entombed within. I've just decided to learn about my favorite few bricks.

You know, with the somewhat similar design intent between labcoats and aprons, you'd think they'd invent something like this sooner....
