the way they name things (all in mandarin with lots of random numbers) makes everything sound homogeneous and hard to remember. it's also hard as a westerner to put anything in context since it has so little relation to anything else I know about.

made some purely cosmetic improvements. the boxes now rotate using slerp (spherical interpolation) and the "active" face is highlighted a special color.
still need to figure out why the faces seem to fall apart when rotating.

more progress on the rubik's cube simulation. to figure out which blocks to move, I implemented a surprisingly complicated indexing system.
next I want to make rotations look less awkward and then give the blocks actual textures.

I think he sells the historical upper classes short, a lot of the women he mentioned were actually quite beautiful especially among europeans. and the quantitative stuff at the end seems totally specious.
but it was shocking to learn how horribly the lower classes aged... maybe people got married so young in part because nobody would want to marry a 30-year-old who resembles a moldy tangerine. it's wild that for essentially all of human history, the vast majority of people - almost everyone's ancestors - were dirt-poor, until just a couple generations ago.

one of the original intentions of land tax was to force landowners to make their land productive, i.e. cultivate it, but that makes zero sense in a modern residential context. now it's more like you're renting your land from the government or paying tribute to them; and the tax money you pay certainly doesn't come from the land itself, which is usually used for sleeping, grilling burgers, and maybe growing tomatoes.
