And you can be manipulated, too.

I mean it does make some things more difficult, but its more of a speed bump than a barrier. And a lot of the time decently attractive people will convince themselves they're ugly cause it helps justify their inaction.

Idk, p sure North Korea is more propagandized, misinformed, and manipulated. Not to say shit isn't bad here. But at least there is some resistance to it. Mamdani didn't get elected because people are ok with just sleeping through it, after all. Sure, it might be too little, too late. But we have at least a fighting chance still.

The one on the right is actually "Pozidriv" (PZ), which is a little better than regular Phillips at least.

If it comes from the factory with such pronounced corners, chances are its a Phillips/Square drive combo. In which case you can use a square drive bit which will drive it without slipping (IIRC square drive has similarly high torque before cam-out as torx). There are a ton of different kinds of screw drives though, the phillips-adjacent ones are under cruciform here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_screw_drives

*Concrete with rebar. Roman concrete has lasted plenty long. Though the lime in it helps.

I mean might be related to writing and the printing press being two of the most important inventions in history, if I had to hazard a guess. Transfer of knowledge through books was a complete gamechanger for humanity.
