400 AD A Roman engineer told to repair a perpetual motion machine may have dismally resigned, in one of history's dullest moments. (Asians and Africans and Aztecs didn't have much wood, Romans were poisoned by lead).

1515 AD Pippin Tell creates good idiots and good movements.

1535 Ann Bolyn creates bad dimensions and bad fetishes.

1771 Marie Antoinette creates evil knowledge (guilt, psychology, complexity).

1776 Common Sense prophecies immortality.

2013 Nathan Coppedge creates ideal knowledge (objective knowledge, perpetual motion)
