That's a good point.

Yes.

So I was so excited to find this article and so thrilled that our timing for this episode is such that it's relevant.

So I was looking up the other day what kind of social science goes on during solar eclipses, particularly total solar eclipses like the one coming up, because there's so much excitement around the solar eclipse for many reasons.

And one of the things that I'm reading a lot about, and I'm sure you all

are reading it and talking about it is, you know, there's all this opportunity for citizen science and NASA can take all these great pictures of the sun and the editor.

So I was digging around to see if I could find anything interesting related to solar eclipses and social science.

And I was so thrilled to find this paper.

Uh, now I want to say it's not peer reviewed.

It's, um, a national Bureau of economic research working paper.

So you can find it online.

There's a couple of different versions of the PDF.

The most, the one I'm working from is from 2000, uh, 2022, uh,

But it's it's called Eclipses and the Memory of Revolutions Evidence from China.

And now I want to start actually by asking you three, what would you say are the top reasons why what causes protests in a society?

Think of like BLM or if you want to call January 6th a protest.

Like what are the big drivers of protests that come to mind?

So some inequity or inequality, right?

So I have no resources.

Someone over there, usually the government, usually someone rich has all of them, so I'm upset.
