I keep a lot of plants in my house, which leads to fly problems. And lately I got mosquitoes for the first time. So I started researching the best ways to trap them. I found the following traps. I placed half a dozen of them around the house and within a few days caught dozens of flies in each trap. A few mosquitos too. The flies are attracted to purple UV light at night, which these traps emit. Leave them on overnight.
It is harder to catch mosquitoes because they are attracted more to heat and CO2 than UV light. But I found a smelly mosquito bait that draws them in. Mosquitoes are also mildly attracted to the warmth of the lights. They confuse the warm light for a warm body.
I tested the following traps myself and confirm that they really work. I was amazed at how many flies I caught so quickly. I wish I knew about this sooner. If you don't take action the bugs only multiply.

Here's part 1 of a 19-part university lecture series on the basics of sociology. I haven't watched all of it yet, but the first part on Karl Mannheim contains crucial ideas. Audio quality and delivery style is poor, but oh well, suck it up. The ideas are worth it. Karl Mannheim has important concepts for epistemology. Sociology is an important field for epistemology, although, of course, still too shallow. Understanding and knowledge are not the same thing, and social construction is a secondary aspect of understanding — but learn to walk before you fly.
Part 3: Social Constructionism, is also chock-full of core concepts:
I share this not because I agree with it, but because our work here is about understanding various paradigms. If you are anti-Zionist, it's especially important for you to listen to this entire thing. Don't shut it off. Actually open your mind and listen even though it's irksome. The irk is what forces your mind to see in new ways.
This is how a Zionist sees the world:
I shared this because I want you to see just how relativistic sense-making is. This is what post-modernism is really about: not a blind progressivism, but understanding that progressivism is just one paradigm out of many.
I will be posting many of these videos from Neema Parvini because they are so important for truly understanding politics. I highly recommend his channel. It's a political science goldmine.
Note: Neema Parvini, the creator of these videos, has some regressive, right-wing political opinions. I do not agree with those. I share his videos for their educational content about great political thinkers, not his personal political views. Be careful not to fall down some right-wing regressive rabbit hole.
This is a perfect example of rationalism:

Rationalism sounds rational, it sounds scientific, but it is epistemically and ontologically false.
There is very much a need in science to explain how anything whatsoever exists! And there is tons of evidence of spiritual phenomena which the rationalist simply refuses to experience out of scientific bigotry.
