Can we categorize Inejiro Asanuma's assassination as a self defense situation?
I don't think so because using violence against people you disagree with is always wrong.

This dude probably saved half a billion lives in the timeline he was sent back from
Why did it make sense to dismantle the empire? Was it really that expensive to hold? Did Britain just destroy itself by participating in WW2?
Fill me in, /his/. How does an empire just fall apart and the greatest empire in the world become a second rate regional power in the span of a lifetime? Who is at fault?
Britain had been proven weak by WW2 (Dunkirk, Singapore, Rommel...etc) and thus wasn't respected anymore
As they knew their colonies would start revolting, and win (just like the Spanish ones after the Napoleonic Wars), Britain released them before it could happen to avoid the humiliation

What British colony would be able to withstand post WW2 Britain?

First, smash your head against a wall for a few hours. Then, realize that he's just an animist.
Can anyone recommend books exploring the formation of early states in prehistoric Egypt and later the unification of these states in the early dynastic period? I’m interested in something with a sociological/economical slant that analyzes the factors that contributed to the rise of civilization in Egypt.

What's with women and their long hair? When did this actually begin and why is it near universal?
>>3322083
long hair for women has always been the norm. it is the norm for men sometimes too.
>>3322096
Seriously, did you even think before posting?
>>3322083
Men cut their hair because it gets in the way when working. This is obviously not a concern for women.
High IQ caters to being overly analytical and therefore not creative, unable to connect seemingly distant subjects to create something new but able to dig deeper into something than other people. Creativity is determined by your personality and your habits, the most creative people, whose works are lauded as genius, have personalities that cater to connecting things that people don't think about, and has nothing but a mild correlation to intelligence.
High IQ people are a scalpel-sharp blade and can go deeper than other people but can't do anything else, and creative people are a swiss pocket knife, the most creative having tools for everything no matter what it is like pic related - high IQ make genius from going deeper than we have before like some kind of brute force pure calculative power, and creative people make genius by combining things nobody ever thought to in such a weird way that turns out genius AKA a weird personality and habits/eclectic
>>3322059
No, you're perfectly right and I noticed this too.
>>3322059
IQ actually correlates with creativity, although I'll agree that imagination is more important than intelligence.
Here's a quick test: imagine a tiger. Close your eyes if you have to, but visualize it like you're actually seeing it standing right there in front of you. Once you're looking at it, read the following question: [spoiler]How many black stripes does it have?[/spoiler]
IQ is a meaningless metric. Intelligence should better be defined as understanding, and every group of people on the planet has differing levels of understanding on different topics. The only reason any one facet of understanding is prized above another is it's usefulness in the society in which the individual or group lives.
The idea that you can use IQ like an intellectual sledgehammer is silly and does great harm to the idea that you can train your brain to think in different ways

Are Hungarians related to the Huns at all or is that a meme?
>>3318243
Yes just like the French are related to the Franks, And the English are Related to the Angles. And the Visigoths were just really moody.
>>3318251
Except Magyars aren't Huns and Huns never settled in Hungary. "Hungaria" is from Greek Οὔγγροι, after the Onogur tribes that joined the Bulgars.
