Yep, in case it wasn't clear I am not saying that Jewish people built the pyramids. It's just what I was taught to believe as a child, I quickly figured out it was bullshit as soon as I started thinking for myself. It turns out Christian fanatics don't run the best schools.

I remember when I was a kid they taught us Egyptians didn't actually build the pyramids, it was really Jewish people enslaved by the Egyptians who built them.

That's been a phenomenon for awhile now, there used to be more of a correlation between the economic data and the public perception of the economy. Things like low unemployment and wages outpacing inflation don't necessarily result in improved consumer confidence like they used to.

Paying off debts first doesn't seem like a first principal to me since there's contexts where that's not the right move. There's too much nuance to managing debt to generalize it that way I think. If the interest rate is below inflation would be the obvious example. All those people who bought houses or refinanced a few years ago are not better off paying down their debt first when they could be investing that money instead. I think a more defensible first principal would be something about paying down debt faster the higher the interest rate is on the loan.

There was recently news about Hitler probably murdering his niece in 1931. She supposedly killed herself in his apartment but historians found old archives that apparently suggest that's not what actually happened.

Lead seems pretty bad to me. It's inherently neurotoxic and gets in the brain easily enough. If you are breathing in aerosolized lead regularly it has a real potential to do harm, even if it doesn't necessarily kill you there will be negative consequences.
