>Science is like someone looking for a flashlight in a dark room before searching for a black cat with the flashlight.

>>2998772
A better analogy would be philosophy is trying to understand what a black cat is. While science is finding one instance of it.

They'd lose the inevitable colonial war with Great Zimbabwe that would emerge.

Do you promise to keep it a secret?

Islam is sexist and patriarchal

because polygamy

islam is a social ideology that allows men to treat women as property

Because they were too busy working while NEETs like Muhammad could live out their D&D fantasies while his wife Khadija was out making a living in being a caravan master and trade lord.

Only a handful of British colonies were settler colonies
>Australia
>Canada
>New Zealand
>Maybe South Africa

Many countries didn't get into colonialism until quite late like Germany, Japan, Belgium and Italy and when nations like this started their own empires the era of colonies for settlement was mostly gone and almost all colonies were for exploitation and strategic areas, the British and French conducted this type of colonialism also. It was the first era of colonialism (mostly in the Americas) which emphasised settlement and later era (1880's,90's, 20th century) was focused on resources and positioning.

Russia continuously colonised Siberia and Asia right through to the 20th century.

South africa was a settler colony, yet it's as equally shit as resource extraction colonies because the natives weren't largely wiped out, genetics and culture is the sole causation for a longterm successful society

>>2997883
Even more corruption.

Latin America is poor because the Spanish and Portuguese set up resource-extraction colonies instead of the settler colonies of the Anglos. It's very hard for a society to go straight from resource-exploitation to liberal democracy, in Europe we had the whole middle ages to develop the institutions needed to minimize corruption and class conflicts, Latin America made the jump in a single generation so naturally the republics they created had the same problems of corruption and massive social inequality. But despite some false starts, and notwithstanding the economic suicide of Venezuela, Latin America is getting better. Corruption is falling, national cohesion is growing, and the economy is growing (slowly but steadily). Certainly they're making better progress than the other European resource-extraction colonies, such as most of Africa. So the continuation or not of the colonial era states wouldn't necessarily have changed anything. It's possible it would have made them less progressive and thus dampened social development, but on the other hand Spain and Portugal are very left-leaning and maybe their influence would have accelerated change in Latin America. Most likely, it would have had no real effect and Latin America would be poor either way for the same reason: It just takes time to build a successful nation.

I wonder how did Chile manage to get away from both Peru and Argentina.

I mean, both of them got Bolivia a bunch of times, and Colombia got Venezuela. Meanwhile, nobody cared about Chile

It's interesting to judge religions like this.

>It's a perfect religion for war, conquest and pillaging, yet it has just enough lawfulness, virtuousness and stability
A successful army needs both. Discipline among combatants of the same side, rapepillageburn for everybody else.
>to maintain powerful societies and cultures working for centuries.
Muslims warring against each other before even the standardization of the Qur'an shows this is not the case.
>Has any culture ever managed to do achieve such a perfect balance of savagery and lawfulness ?
Yes, and the answer is any. As in any other. If Islam worked as well as advertised it, it'd rule the world, but this is not the case.

Christianity before the modern era? These days there's very few Christians that's actually religious. If you find a married Christian girl, she's probably up for cheating.

Stop owning people and calling them your property.

Ants are the next step in evolution, organisms started out with single cells, then became multicelled, and will soon become multianimal

Just did some research on that. That's pretty impressive. Do the ants do it intentionally knowing it's going to provide them food or are they just following pheromones.
