  • 1995… The peak of humanity. Industrial clubs everywhere, fun cheap bars, bright clothes, danceable music, computers you still had a chance of understanding somewhat, home appliances and lightbulbs didn’t need firmware updates or spy on you, affordable housing and groceries, relative worldwide peace…

    I think I’d burst into tears if I saw this sign IRL

    True, but the advancements boil down to late 19th century ideas like “wash your hands after the autopsy before delivering Ms Green’s baby”, which the medical establishment pushed hard against at the time. Tells you a lot about the medical mindset…

    “Despite his research, Semmelweis’s observations conflicted with the established scientific and medical opinions of the time and his ideas were rejected by the medical community. He could offer no theoretical explanation for his findings of reduced mortality due to hand-washing, and some doctors were offended at the suggestion that they should wash their hands and mocked him for it.”
