The story behind the New York Times’ 1903 claim that human flight was between one and ten million years away is even worse than it looks. Once you understand the backstory, you realize that the New York Times story is not really about flight at all but about how elites and credentialed “experts” mistake their own failures for the boundaries of possibility. The New York Times did not dismiss the possibility of powered flight at random. There was a very specific reason behind it. At the time, America’s most prominent scientific authority, Smithsonian Secretary Samuel Langley, had been showered with large amounts of taxpayer funding to build an aircraft, the Langley Aerodrome. Despite all the money, institutional backing, and elite prestige, Langley and his team could not get it to fly, culminating in a series of very public failures, the last on December 8, 1903. So when the New York Times declared that flight was millions of years away, what it was really saying was that if the most credentialed and well-funded “experts” cannot do it, then it cannot be done. A mere nine days later, the elites’ proclamation of impossibility lay in ruins. Two totally unknown bicycle mechanics from Ohio achieved the first powered flight using improvised parts, a few hundred dollars of their own money, and sheer persistence. The story of flight is, at its core, a story of the triumph of American individualism over elite credentialism. The fact that it was the New York Times that inadvertently delivered the proof is the most fitting conclusion imaginable.

@bishara the elites don’t want you to know this but used DVDs are $2 at the thrift store and the negligible quality difference vs. HD is particularly imperceptible to foids (i.e. cute date idea)

Restore Britain is being attacked for a lack of ‘diversity’ at our local branch meetings. I really cannot put in words how little I care.

It is now effectively legal for blacks in blue cities to murder whites Why? Because juror ethnic in-group preference amongst non-whites, particularly blacks, means it is essentially impossible to get a jury to agree to hold a black on white crime defendant accountable So some career criminal in a fetid city known for being full of his sort can get away with murdering a cop because an illiterate, third world jury supported what he did
