We built the pyramids

The barenaked ladies song that is the theme song for the Big Bang Theory show has that line is pretty profound. Not the show, it’s fun and most ist and ism is covered within its boundaries. No, the theme song. We built the pyramids.

Yes we did.

Wow. We humans build that giant Lego set with raw human labour.

We put people into space.

We put people on the moon.

We invented democracy.

We developed mathematics.

We’re all human, no flag or arbitrary “border” matters.
