coming to the Americas

twenty-eight years and a million words

I think it's really amazing that they're able to use DNA and archaeology to work out the history of ancient peoples with fair confidence these days. The 10,000 year civilization that lived in Berengia during the last glacial period and then colonized the Americas in a relative twinkling is just amazing.

Illusions commend themselves to us because they save us pain and allow us to enjoy pleasure instead. We must therefore accept it without complaint when they sometimes collide with a bit of reality against which they are dashed to pieces.

—Sigmund Freud
