These old magazines show just far we have come.

Today 'Scientific American'. is world leader in in depth discussions of religiously reviewed articles about anthropogenic global climate change, gender dynamics, and critical reviews of how math and science disproportionately harm nonbinary BIPOCs. It tells the populace what to think. Great Stuff. You have to trust the science. But back in the 1880s, this publication was publishing a bunch of science stuff involving numbers and concepts that did not revolve around fighting the disproportionate influence white nerds have on society. It is great to see we have advanced so far.
