😮😎👍 "The scene in 300 where Leonidas kicks the Persian emissaries into a bottomless pit is based on a story recorded by the Greek historian Herodotos of Halikarnassos (lived c. 484 – c. 425 BCE) in his Histories 7.133. Herodotos reports that, when the Achaemenid shah Darius I sent emissaries to Sparta in 490 BCE to demand payment of earth and water as a sign of submission, the Spartans threw the emissaries down a well and told them that they’d find plenty of earth and water at the bottom."

The discussion by Elon, regarding fundamental shifts in the evolution of man, specifically, the warning he gives regarding demographics. Men like David Lane, Richard Butler, Robert J. Mathews and Frank DeSilva, spoke directly to these points over 40 years ago, and were attacked by the government and special interest groups.
