Obesity rates among blacks really took off and dragged up the national average. Other than that, the same thing that has caused obesity rates throughout the western world to rise: spread of unhealthy food, less active lifestyles, urbanization....

Why are Jews so salty towards gnostics? It's obvious to any non-biased bystander that their religion is a sadistic joke. They are clearly the "chosen" ones of the demiurge, if not Satan himself.

They are the remnants of the golden horde which again was a part of the mongolian empire.
They existed as an independant people in some way or other till the russian conquest of most of them in eastern ukraine and till the ottomans vassalised the crimean khanate.
They came much later than the fall of rome as they came with ghenghis khan and his descendants.
They wear those hats because it can get fucking cold in the steppes which they inhabitted mostly.
Also they wuz mongols, they had the same respect for ghenghis as europeans have for caesar.

Still roleplaying. Ideology is just a way for regular people to feel like they're part of some big Star Wars narrative.

That is literally what a nation used to mean.
"Nation" taken to mean "economic zone the identity of which is defined by a travel document" is a postmodern liberal thing.

Philosophy is oftend dubbed a humanity. However, it seems like it's only appropraite to apply this to Continental Philosophy and not Analytic Philosophy. Even many Analytic philosophers get a bit butt hurt when you say philosophy is a humanity. It is true that the analytic style is much closer to that of the formal sciences. Analytic philosophers basically invented mathematical logic. Their whole way of arguing too is just much closer to what you'd see in the sciences. Philosophy is already extremely varied in its topics. Analytic Philosophy, however, seems like an entierly different subject than Continental Philosophy at times. What do you think?

Then they should go about fixing the humanities rather than fiddling with definitions in an attempt to circumvent reality. That sort of behavior much more suited to the humanities anyway, so by engaging in it they undermine their own argument.

Analytic philosophy is just a method.

This is where the theory of diminishing returns begins to take effect. As an empire expands and gains more and more “capital” (i.e. money, resources, etc.), the sociopolitical complexity of that polity will naturally become more complex. For example, the Aztec conquests throughout Central Mexico resulted in the massive accumulation of material goods throughout the Valley of Mexico, especially in Tenochtitlan. This led to a population explosion, with the Valley of Mexico’s population increasing three to five fold over the course of 200 years.
The increased population required more resources in order to sustain, especially as the elite began to expand their influence throughout the empire. Even if conquest is halted, complexity will continue to increase so long as material goods are brought to the imperial center. Based on this model, continuous conquest is needed in order to sustain the empire.
