Prince Pyotr Alexeyevich Kropotkin was born in 1842 and breathed his last in 1921. Kropotkin was a Russian noble. He was educated for army and at the age of twenty he became a military officer in Siberia.
Kropotkin’s great interest in science developed from his military training which he received to get a job. This moulded his life in future. He had a scientific mind and devoted his time and energy to the study of books on science.
As a military officer in Siberia Kropotkin got ample opportunity for geographical survey and expedition. Thus his shift from military service to geographical survey and expeditions enriched the subject profoundly. He contributed many articles to different journals.
Peter Kropotkin was a man of different mentality and attitude. His stay in military service could not satisfy his academic and intellectual requirements and desires and after serving several years he relinquished the job, and entered the University of St. Petersburg in 1867. His vast knowledge in geography brought for him the post of secretary of Geographical Society.
Even this vital administrative post could not detain him for long time. He moved to radical political movements. In 1872, Peter Kropotkin joined the International Workingmen’s Association. Later on he was deeply involved in subversive and anarchical activities. This led him to imprisonment in 1874.
He escaped from prison in 1876 and went to England. The England of the second half of eighteenth century was the centre of revolutionary activities, although she never experienced any revolution.
He also travelled to Switzerland and Paris. While in Paris he was again arrested by the French government in 1883. Released from prison in 1886 he went to England and settled there. While in exile, Kropotkin gave lectures and published widely on anarchism and geography. He returned to Russia after the Russian Revolution in 1917 but was disappointed by the Bolshevik state. The rest of his life was spent without political activity.
Peter Kropotkin was an evolutionist anarchist. But his evolutionism was more scientific than that of his predecessors. He wrote several books on anarchism such as ‘The Place of Anarchy in Socialist Evolution (1886), The Conquest of Bread (1888), Its Philosophy and Ideal (1896)’, ‘The State – Its Part in History (1898)’ and ‘Modern Science and Anarchism (1903)’. His deep interest in science, particularly biology and anthropology, opened before him new and enchanting vistas of knowledge and all these inspired him to study biological science with added interest.

Finally decided to watch a non-animated thing on TV, the original godzilla movie. It kind of got me realizing just how fried my attention span is.
It took a lot of me to sit through the whole movie, and it wasn’t bad by any metric. It felt like depleting a social battery. Anime sometimes has fast-paced fights and more whimsical. Half the fun of Dragon Ball Z is seeing Goku go from a lovable goof to completely locked in, but I digress. Point is, this made me realize I might have ruined my attention span. I already suffer from ADHD and how much of letting the instant gratification monkey win in my life worsened the issue?

I just learned my partner’s POS ex who slit the throat of a street dog then went and joined the IDF lmao can’t make this shit up
Whomst up late enjoying shivers down their spine because their childhood bedroom shared a wall with a shower and the pavlovian conditioning causes shivers of pleasure and a need to burrow into blankets whenever they hear the sound of water running through pipes?
since 40k total war is happening I hope if 40k end times happens it ends not with chaos roflstomping everyone (they can still eat ultramar) but with tau-eldar-space dwarf xeno coalition installing a new human government on Terra. Then again GW would probably make tau randomly genocide humans because uh oh grimderp.
I watched There Will Be Blood the whole way through finally the other day with some friends. Good movie, weird to have a horror track playing over essentially a guy making more and more money (although he seemed just as satisfied sleeping out in the open and in camps vs when he was in his mansion). They skipped over basically all the socialist stuff from Oil! which, cant say Im surprised.
I do kinda wanna see a take on The Jungle now - despite 100 years of regulations and whatever, its still immigrants and beaten down labour doing those jobs and there’s still the occasional scare like mad cow or whatever. Its very prescient.
Dehumanisation. I think that’s the thing that upsets me more than anything ever. People treating other people like they don’t matter or are disposable.
Those dang an ronpas are at it again
I haven’t seen the show this is what I assume it’s about
If you think Pluribus is too slow I straight up don’t respect you
Pluribus should be SLOWER!
FEWER THINGS SHOULD HAPPEN PER EPISODE!!!
Massive transphobic antivaxxer cooker i went to school with recently posted on facebook ridiculing his doctor for telling him his testosterone levels are way too high and he was overdoing it at the gym (read - this steroid abuse is going to kill you). Anyway, he just died of heart failure at like 42.
tenet is a great movie for “they said the name of the movie in the movie!

There really is no feeling like going to the airport two and a half hours before your flight, getting past airport security, and taking an enormous, three-part dump.
Literally still cant get over how anthropologists called an ancient hominid “homo erectus”. Like call me juvenile if you want, but they knew wtf they were doing.
