Whenever someone uses the "applicability" argument to look down on basic science, remember this: Apollonius of Perga formalized conic sections 17 centuries before Kepler used them to describe planetary motion—the same principles that now guide satellites delivering your Internet connection.

Marcus Aurelius writes in Meditations: "honey tastes bitter to the jaundiced". Not true, as far as I know— I wonder where he got that idea. What I love is how it anticipates our modern understanding of sensory systems: internal states shape perception, and even ancient skeptics seemed to grasp this.
