panama canal
at the end of the spanish-american war, the united states had acquired the philippines and hawaii. this made the nation a major power in the pacific. the navy now needed to find a way to move ships from the west coast to the east coast that was more efficient than going around the tip of south america. the solution was to build a canal — a waterway connecting two bodies of water - across central america to join the atlantic ocean and the pacific ocean.
in 1903, a revolution in panama gave the country its independence from colombia. president roosevelt now had the opportunity he needed to acquire a route for the canal, since the isthmus of panama is the narrowest piece of land in the americas. the u.s. government instantly recognized the new government of panama and signed a treaty that gave the united states a ten-mile-wide "canal zone" in exchange for a fee of $10 million and an annual payment of $250,000. -
breakup
brain studies have shown that the withdrawal of romantic love activates the same mechanisms in our brain that get activated when addicts are withdrawing from substances like cocaine or opioids.
"...there could be no new beginning, nor would one be important. we are not aware when new beginnings arrive; we only discover them later when they have already engulfed us, when everything merely continues. then we believe that everything could have been different, but it could not have, and so we rush into springtime, so as not to think about nonexistent beginnings or unpleasant continuations." -

appeal to authority
this is an argument that relies on the credibility or expertise of a person or organization to support a claim, without providing any evidence to back it up. for example, "the ceo of a major pharmaceutical company says that their new drug is completely safe, so it must be true."

chaos theory
the chaos theory is a branch of mathematics that studies the behavior of dynamic systems that are highly sensitive to initial conditions, also known as the butterfly effect. this means that small differences in initial conditions can lead to significantly different outcomes over time.
one example of the chaos theory in action is the behavior of a pendulum. if a pendulum is set in motion, it will swing back and forth in a predictable pattern. however, if the initial push is slightly off, the pendulum will start to swing in a slightly different pattern. as time goes on, the differences in the swing become more and more pronounced, eventually leading to completely different behaviors.
another example of the chaos theory is the prediction of weather patterns. small differences in temperature and air pressure can lead to significantly different weather patterns, making it difficult to accurately predict the weather more than a few days in advance.
overall, the chaos theory helps to explain why it is often difficult to predict the long-term behavior of complex systems, even when we have a good understanding of the individual components of the system.
