Do you have a source for "all evidence" that humans are not actually "wired to lead and to follow" or that human society is functional on a large scale without having leaders in some fashion?

Pavement princess is my favored term for trucks that clearly have had work done but do no work.

One of the only Christmas movies I want to watch yearly is the BBC adaptation of Terry Pratchetts The Hog Father

Yeah, I'm actively sourcing a laser welder for my work and one of the requirements is the ability to fit a part that is ~24 inches long and pretty much the only way we've found to do it in our budget is to have an opening in the enclosure that uses curtains and brushes to allow that part to stick out but still protect from the light escaping, and we're only talking 300 watts

I'll have to see if I can find where I read this to cite the source.

The National Ignition Facility is researching using insanely huge lasers to start a nuclear fusion reaction. They are currently the most powerful laser in the world.
Want to know what the second most powerful laser in the world is? The reflection of the NIF laser.

Found it, SciShow. https://youtu.be/gqPlVUuXiYY

Honestly in some ways the actual number doesn't matter, if you earn your living by selling your labor for a salary or wages you aren't the problem

Mean average maybe, what about median?

Gravity is also ultimately why the winds blows, hot air rises by being less dense only because colder denser air is pulled down displacing the hot air up. Burning a candle in microgravity is very different than on the surface of Earth
