Wrong fucking universe asshole.

And "mankind" doesn't exist. We're coalitions and families of apes with differing goals and differing faculties of judgment.

You sound like some Buzzfeed faggot.

The assassination of Mursili I by his brother after Mursili's successful Sack of Babylon.

Funniness is derived from surprise and/or subversion, or more complicatedly, when something makes us learn in a clever way. This comes from a number of sources. For example, let's say fart jokes. Some people might laugh at these because you wouldn't expect such rude things as farts to show up in polite company; it's surprising, and therefore funny. Other people might not like fart jokes however because they're trite and overdone to the point where we got sick of them when we were younger. There's also schadenfreude which is a mix of this and more things, which is why things like slapstick works.

Our brains like to learn, and jokes make us learn in a roundabout way. That's why jokes make us happy. Jokes teach us about connections between two things that we'd never thought would be connected. For example puns may use wordplay between two different words or phrases. But if a joke is made too many times, you don't learn any new connections, it's the same one, which is why jokes get old.

>>2685311
If learning new things in surprise was all that it took, then wouldn't textbooks be the funniest thing ever, rather than the dullest thing ever?

Afrocentrism is just as bad as eurocentrism

>>2685112
Afrocentrism is a reactionary movement intended to counter both perceived and real eurocentrism. While it's got hints of justification - there are plenty of examples of African history that have been incorrectly examined, downplayed, or even covered up entirely (looking at you, Rhodesia) as late as the past half-century - like many reactionary movements, it takes things too far.

At its best, it's a revisionist movement for areas of history that really do need a second look. At it's worst, it's quasi-nationalistic appropriation of various histories in the same way plenty of cultures have done over history.

>>2685118
Afrocentrism is far worse because it's so much less accurate.

White people actually did live in Europe, make the European states, etc.

Blacks did not fucking live in Europe, China, Mexico, etc. founding literally every fucking society.

Which one, you mean Mohammed Reza Pahlavi?

My impression is that he's a Willy-tier failiure from pop culture

>>2685042
Objectively false. While nowhere near as based as his father, he was (at least towards the end of his reign) an ardent nationalist and good leader.

>>2684999
It's not so much that he pushed people toward religion, but that while he was deaf to the wants of his people the clerics stepped up to tell the people what they wanted to hear.

>>2684696
try any country in europe more so with ones that had a monarchy
dumb faggots killed one another left and right to get a throne

any country with a history that spans more than 200 years

seriously compared to most nations of Europe America played nicely with their leaders.

Pakistan has killed 5 of it's heads of state. 4 of them while in office.


>Founder (Jinnah) was not given healthcare by his closest ''''friends''''' in 1948
>First prime minister (Liaquat Ali Khan) was shot In 1950
>The first democratically elected President (Bhuttofag) was overthrown in 1977 and hung in 1979
> The guy who killed him (Zia UL Haq) was blown up in 1988
>Bhutto's daughter (Benazir) was blown up during a speech by her husband who became the president (2007)

im outta ideas

In some virtual reality/post-scarcity world maybe. You just need leisure time for dining and philosophizing, assemblies of all citizens for important decisions, and ample supply of boipussy.

>>2684667
Provided we reoriented the economy back to slavery and fractured our political structures to the point of hyper-regionalist city states, I don't see why not. It probably won't happen in our lifetimes, but I can imagine the survivors of a nuclear apocalypse building this kind of society, just as the Greeks themselves built it out of the ashes of the bronze age collapse.

TV and unified pop culture industry I guess?

Even still it's still pretty regionalist

>>2684570

Define regionalist?

>Deep South
>Miami/Puerto Rico
>Appalachia
>Chesapeake bay
>New england
>Tristate area
>Great Lakes/St. Lawrence
>Inland and delta of the Mississippi watershed

Moving further west it does get less and less regionalist, and its more dominated by single cities, i.e. Denver, Vegas, LA, etc. Northwest coast is pretty regional though, same goes for the central Californian cities.

>TV and unified pop culture industry I guess?

Pretty much this most of the world today has American pop culture digging into it you'd think ground zero would feel the blunt of it.

though obviously there's a big difference between for example New England and the Deep South
