>there are people who still believe that the Quaternary extinction event wasn't caused by humans
What gives?
The evidence for over-hunting is pretty extensive whereas the climate change hypothesis doesn't hold that much water. If you talk to these people they just WILL NOT accept that Native Americans and Australians could have hunted these megafauna species to death despite the ecological, climatological and archeological to the contrary. I find a lot of these people are the same types who claim that the natives 'lived in harmony' with nature as if such a thing were possible.
Is this the 'Noble Savage' rearing it's ugly, ignorant head again? Should we have hung Rousseau when we had the chance?

Personally, I think it was a combination of both climate change and over-hunting. The idea that humans could hunt massive amounts of animals seems to imply that doing so was an easy task, and that just doesn't seem right. Things only start to make sense, if you consider that these animals are already debilitated by the loss of their habitats, caused by climate change.

Plus, as far as I know there aren't many archaeological sites which show explicit evidence of such extensive hunting. And even the ones that do seem to provide some evidence, have been contested as being more of a natural disaster than a consequence of human hunting.

In my culture studying history and discussing history either from 100 years ago or 500 years ago is viewed as a problem and there is no benefit to look back at histroy. I have been worried about talking about this on /his/ or even looking at this place for a long time now but this is my first post and I am ready to get back into this as a hobby
Can you tell me if it is a problem to look back at history and I don't mean daily but every few months finding some hole on the internet and reading about a different era?

It is a waste of time to study history between 100 to 500 years ago.
The height of humanity endedicated in the 4th/3rd century bce. Look to the Classics.

How come no other non-European countries tried doing what Japan did with its Meiji Restoration and totally overhaul their society so they could survive?

china tried to do the exact same thing, they sent people to japan to study how they did it, sun yat-sen was one of those.
also in egypt there was a similar reform movement but it never really took off.
other countries tried it too, but i can't think of any other good examples right now

Franklin because Jefferson could always just rely on his looks.

Franklin certainly played the role of the lady-killer in a more public way than Jefferson did.
Which was smarter is an interesting question. I'd give the nod to Franklin, but I could see the other case as well..

Why hasn't /his/ officially declared itself as a Lollard board? It seems only natural that an anglo board such as ourselves professes a faith true to our peculiar nature and genius.

Why do people commit suicide? Are they programmed faulty? I know an intelligent friend who offed himselfed at the height of his life for no particular reason.
What do they know that us mortals dont? From a philosophical perspective.

Existential nihilism and philosophical pessimism can definitely lead intelligent people down that road.

Or it could do the opposite, or nothing. Really the latter is much more likely, because realizing that nothing matters shouldn't necessarily change how you live your life, since if nothing matters then why change your habits and such?

This is the greatest moment of the 20th century, half of Europe was finally liberated from totalitarianism, and it is hardly remembered nowadays because the left-wing intellectuals and artists that control historical memory are still butthurt over their loss of influence it entailed.
For how long will our historical memory be monopolized by a morally bankrupt political movement?

What are you talking about? If I were to ask random people to name the most significant historical event of the last 50 years I bet at least half would choose this.
