What the hell happened in Korea?

In the 60's it was one of the poorest countries with a GDP of ~$79 (even poorer than some Sub-Saharan Africans).
My uncle said he saw kids walking around naked and shitting on the field for fertilizer.
Come the 80's and BOOM! It's now one of the wealthiest and technological country?

From shitting on the field to Samsung. How did it happen and can we use the same technique to fix Africa?

So be honest with me /his/.

What is the stupidest piece of alternate history writing that you've ever read?

I remember reading one particular book over a decade ago(I forgot the name) about the allies and axis having modern era weaponry, but it ended basically the same way it did now. Not only that, but somehow the allies were always able to counter the axis no matter what and in one case, a marine squad, knowingly went to their death to report of a Japanese position just so it could be bombarded.

Probably the whole "the middle ages didn't happen" theory, that and the "history reset" theories. Some holocaust revisionism is a real stretch , and borders on delusional. Nothing you haven't heard of.

Your grandparents are liars everything they told you is a lie. Humanity is a race of star travelers and we only settled on this planet about a hundred years ago because we're refugees of a galactic war. Our grandparents generation who were the settlers wanted us to forget our star traveling ways and invented all of our history making pretend were indigenous to this plane. Ever notice all tech and population growth literally all comes from the last century? What are the odds you were born right on the cusp of when electricity Internet and planes became the norm?

Huh really makes you think.

There's this guy that lived many years ago who believed we came from monkeys and that the world is millions of years old.

Why can't the federal government just invest more money into impoverished areas like Flint or Detroit instead of relying on the municipal government? Surely it pays to inject capital investments into areas that are extremely impoverished and would increase the savings rates and, therefore, marginal efficiencies of the capital?

I think the debate comes down to how can a 21st century superpower maintain a productive, not solely a service-based economy in this day and age? Because this is the reason these areas are so impoverished in the first place: the productive jobs moved elsewhere and we are left with the service based jobs in sheltered plutocratic segmented bubbles like finance and technology which support the leisure class.

bump for government investment

Because there is a deep seated belief among a large segment of the population that a: poverty is the fault of the poor. And b: we live in a zero sum world where helping 'those people' takes away from (insert supposedly more deserving group), and of course, 'muh gubmint overreach'. What's more, there is the perfectly valid concern that the federal government isn't nimble (for lack of a better term) enough to address the problem, as it would require a fair bit of fine tuning to ensure it isn't a poorly executed waste of taxpayer money, government funded projects being the license to steal that they are. Imean, it's a good idea, but neither the government nor it's constituents are prepared to deal with it. And I'm entirely sure it is possible to revert back to a productive economy, or rather one that employs massive numbers of people. Between technology increasing efficiency, outright automation, and third world laborers who make in a week what an American factory worker makes in an hour, there's not a whole lot left for semiskilled grunts like myself. Nothing left but to roll with it.

We are fairly still agriculturally productive, which is a good thing. But the problem lies in where the direction of our investments in capital are going. If our investment in capital isn't returning us a profit through capital whose marginal efficiency is above the interest in terms of that good then why invest at all. Revenues built around service do give us a higher return on investment, but the problem is that the capital isn't giving us the return on investment, it's the sales and service fees that originate in the form of increased wages, not increased output. Service work is by its very nature non-productive, which means the money being utilized for it isn't returned, it's lost out of the cycle of productivity forever and in my opinion has to be replaced through additional capital injections eventually.

It was a refinement of the 80's, leading clothing to it's ultimate and most aesthetic state.

sure it is. It's possible to tell whatever kind of story you want.

But that doesn't mean that it will be anything worth remembering, or something that other people will pass along to each other.

Stories which people tend to remember are stories which found a novel new way to express the Hero's journey

"The Hero's Journey" is a Gnostic, satanic concept.

It is about initiation. There's a reason why Hollywood uses it so much.

>Why is Sikhism largely ignored in the West? Seems like a pretty cool religion.

Starting off strong, good discussion starter.

>/His/, what do you know about Sikhs and their beliefs?

literally just google Sikhism if you wanted to know about the religion, I'm tired of half the threads on here being an easily answered question and not a discussion.


Anyway Sikhism is interesting because of its relationship with both Islam and Hinduism, the religions that surround it and outnumber it in terms of followers. The Sikh Empire is pretty cool too, they had a bunch of European mercenaries fighting with them, guys from Scotland and France and stuff. Worth a google if you want some good reading.

>What is "you," and what is "yourself?" And if they can be the same, how?

"Yourself" is the reflexive form of the pronoun "you," for when the object and subject of the clause are the same. e.g. "Fuck you." vs. "Go fuck yourself."

IOW you're asking about grammar and you're retarded.
