    I was waiting for someone to bring up the malaria thing. I wish I could go back in time and see the first time someone brought up that idea, like "Damn, these bacteria _are_ able to be killed by heat, I wish we had a way to induce a fever... hm." "Julius, what the hell are you doing with that sample?"

    I read a report on a statistical analysis of airline safety. They like to claim they are the “safest form of transport”, and that is true if you go by deaths per passenger-kilometre (i.e. distance travelled). If you go by deaths per passenger-hour (i.e. time spent travelling)(, they are just on a par with cars. And if you go by deaths per passenger-journey (i.e. number of trips taken), they are actually worse than cars. If you think that going by numbers of journeys is somehow unfair, note that most aircraft crashes happen at takeoff and landing. And you need one of each per trip.

      it's plausible if there were multiple provisions per state. But also the HRE was legally unitary, so the treaty wouldn't be agreed like that

      There were at least 2000 territories that claimed membership in the empire so at only 2 provisions per state it’s actually totally believable.

  • @GossamerGhoul
    @GossamerGhoul 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    The greatest trick David Mitchell ever pulled was convincing the world that the 5,732 provisions affecting the enclave of Baarle-Hertog in the Treaty of Maastricht each pertain to the legal right of a specific former state of the Holy Roman Empire to a flooded sandbank between Germany and Denmark on the Heligoland Bight which had previously been farmland before being flooded in the 14th century.

    I've always loved this clip. But I recently noticed that he appears to be glancing at a piece of paper as he goes along, as if the bluff was prepared in some way. That would make the quickness, fluency and pronunciation all more plausible, but it is still a fantastic piece of showmanship.

    *"Well, this, this is an easy one. Um..."* - Not very convincing... *"The enclave actually only exists theoretically,"* - I must say that Baarle-Hertog in fact _does_ exist. *"because it's a sort of sand bank"* - It's a village with a population of about 2,700. *"which was once farmed,"* - Some mini-enclaves of or in Baarle-Hertog are exclusively farmland. I assume they still farm. *"but was flooded in the 14th century,"* - Wikipedia's _Timeline of Belgian History_ mentions no such thing. *"and it exists between Denmark and Germany in the Heligoland Bight,"* - It literally doesn't. The flags of Belgium and the Netherlands are in the sign pictured behind him. (No flood there either, I don't think.) *"but it's sort of an anomaly in diplomatic law ever since then,"* - I think the borders have been completely figured out, although it does make it weird for locals sometimes, like how Belgium and the Netherlands have different COVID-19 rules. *"because there were arguments about who owned it theoretically"* - Ownership of Baarle-Hertog was never about the whole thing, just parts of it. The Lords of Breba got some parts, the Dukes of Brabant got some parts, and since then the Dumb Borders have stuck. *"even though no one could go there,"* - I live in the US so I can't go there now lol. If you're nearby, check out the borders marked in the pavement! It looks pretty cool. *"and so the 5,732 provisions are actually a provision for each of the former states of the Holy Roman Empire"* - Wikipedia says the HRE consisted of 1,800 territories in the 18th century. *"before it was dissolved by Napoleon."* - It was dissolved by the HRE's emperor, Francis II. seems legit

    I also believe there were never more than some 500 states in the HRE so the fact there are 5,732 were already a dead give-away even if you didnt know about Baarle Hertog Furthermore you could clearly see a Belgian and Dutch flag on the background photo lending even less legitimacy to the fact it was a dispute between German states and Denmark
