That’s Julius Caesar. Sort of…

Greed and gluttony have been pervasive throughout history. I have no idea why you would think they were recent phenomena.

It’s a New York thing

New York the state or NYC?

That is a belief that existed and maybe some still believe it, but I don’t think any large organizations would consider that canon. It’s generally considered a heresy, called Marcionism.

the mirror is reflecting the light emitted by the lamp better than a wall will do.

Will it? Maybe. You are making the assumption that specular reflection is better at reflecting than diffuse reflection, but that is a false assumption. It depends on the reflectivity of the wall and the mirror. A white wall can reflect more light than a mirror.

I’ve boiled water in the microwave thousands of times, it’s never been superheated. It’s does not easily happen in a microwave.

Every time I’ve seen someone test out this microwave myth, they use distilled water and a new container.

Exactly the same as water being superheated in a microwave, no nucleation sites.

There’s nothing special about a microwave that will superheat water. You can superheat water on a stovetop, but nobody ever says not to boil water on a stove.
