An equivalent madness to the “sky is falling” is the continents are sinking, i.e. water levels are rising. Plate tectonics indeed moves continents around the earth’s surface. Slowly for certain, but moving. In a spurt of silly mental agility it can be thought that if the continents are moving, that means they are floating. So, how can the ocean water rise above a floating object?
Remember, a joke will frequently include a bit of truth and a lot of reality.
Just to complicate this topic, the continental shifts are making mountains rise. Wonder where that mass of earth used to raise mountains comes from? If water fills in the space created by the earth thrust upward wouldn’t that lower ocean levels?

It struck me that the result from the effort to rid the past of the history of slavery now may come to the perfect ending with the elimination of a past problem that doesn't exist now. That itself deserves the "Go figure" award.

Many threads of wisdom flow freely, constantly or is it just reality like that expressed in lyrics in the Simon & Garfunkel song, "The Boxer" wherein stated: "All lies in jest when a man hears what he wants to hear and forgets all the rest". So, history is guided to the next round of mental boxing. With others sometimes?
