>From many points of view, indeed, there is no more beautiful type of character than that of the Japanese woman. She is entirely unselfish; exquisitely modest without being anything of a prude; abounding in intelligence which is never obscured by egoism; patient in the hour of suffering; strong in time of affliction; a faithful wife; a loving mother; a good daughter; and capable, as history shows, of heroism rivalling that of the stronger sex.

Probably. Remember that Britannica didn't have any specific team of writers; they solicited/commissioned articles from experts in various fields and then edited them to fit the format. Author initials usually appear after longer entries or in the "macropedia" articles.

Probably.
Among westerners at that time, the only ones really qualified to write about eastern cultures were the "orientalists" who were basically rich late-Victorian weebs.

How much difference did ace pilots make in WW1 air battles? Did battles ultimately depend on technology and logistics or are there notable cases where skilled individuals turned the tide of battle?

Whats the future of food?
Will all thats available to eat be some sort of synthetic paste full of nutrients? Agroindustry has fucked all vegetables, they arent even near what they were once in the wild.
Will we continue to eat meat?

Vegetarianism is getting more popular in America, but I don't believe it will ever come to the outlawing of meat. It will probably peak, fairly soon.
>>
>>3199792
THE FUTURE WORLD IS VEGAN; WITHOUT VEGANISM THERE IS NO FUTURE.
A WORLDWIDE VEGAN FOOD INDUSTRY IS CAPABLE OF SUSTAINING THE PRESENT WORLDPOPULATION INDEFINITELY, AND IT WOULD NOT ONLY REQUIRE MINIMAL LANDSPACE, BUT IT WOULD ACTUALLY REDUCE THE LANDSPACE ALLOTTED TO FOODPRODUCTION, RELATIVE TO CURRENT NONVEGAN FOODPRODUCTION METHODS.
VEGANISM IS THE OPTIMAL WAY, ETHICOMORALLY, AESTHETICALLY, AND EXPEDIENTLY.
WHAT IS PREVENTING VEGANISM FROM BECOMING A WORLDWIDE CULTURAL STANDARD IS SUBHUMAN TENDENCIES, AND TRADITIONAL ATTACHMENTS.

How did Christianity take hold in Europe? Why would European kings especially in kingdoms far from jerusleum care about let alone believe a story of some desert jew being the son of God and dying for their sins
Just don't understand how they threw out their ancestors faiths so easily and believed the travellers, wouldn't they just be put to death as heretics

A single event can capsulate an entire series of books.
Hell, World War 2 only took about 6 years (the war itself) and look at the sheer volume of books on just that subject alone.
There's thousands of years of history out there

Daily reminder that Thomas “Woodrow” Wilson. He is the only U.S. president who ever made it an actual crime to disagree with the government. Freedom of dissent is the most precious freedom that anybody has, and Wilson took it away. No other president, before or since, has launched such a savage and draconian assault upon the concept of individual liberty as this man. School children should be required to field trips to his gravestone and implored to throw excrement upon it. There should be a national holiday where effigies of Wilson are burned in the street. If you have any love, even the slightest appreciation for the concept of individual freedom, then you must hate this man with the fury of a trillion suns. He is the enemy.

Why do cultural christians say that laveyan satanism is not individualist and that it's an inversion of morality? Some of the rules of pic related seem very in line with the non-aggression principle as well. Christianity sounds more collectivist to me.
