So can we all agree the way of writing this language is shit and should be overhauled?
I suggest ß, þ and ч get introduced for ss, th, and ch respectivly
And also drop c entirely, it can be replaced by the already existing s and k
Diacritical marks are needed
>>2231206
>ß
Ss rarely occurs in orthography and it's not phonemic. It can just be dropped.
>ч
Why introduce some esoteric slavrune when we can just use 'c' for 'ch'.
>>2231221
Cart and cart. One of these is something you carry things in, the other is a visual way of representing data.
What is the worst experience you had in a history class? Students, professors, whatever. I'll start:
>300-level course about the Reformation and its effect on development of nation states
>Professor explicitly states he finds Tudor England overdone, spends 20 minutes on it on one day
>Nearly entire back half of semester is case study of small village during the Spanish Inquisition
I don't really see how that's bad. A small village during the spanish reconquista/inquisition is interesting enough.
Also, good picture.
>>2231159
Well, in history it literally pays to hyper specialize.
>>2231159
one time the professor was a white male... i mean it's 2017....YUCK
Do ideas exist?
Nope, only memes exist in the human mind
>>2231116
They exist in the sense that waifus exist and redness exist and light and heavy exist.
They don't have a physical sense, so if you're a pure physicalist you'd have issues with all the ideas of the world.
>>2231123
>They don't have a physical sense
Memories are physically stored in the brain, are they not?
How can it be that an idea doesn't exist in a real physical way if it has to be stored in a physical object in order to be an idea?
What would have happened to japan if it didn't have any storms while the mongols were invading?
the first invasion they would have been absolutely rekd and probably would have become a Yuan tributary until the Mongols were kicked out of China like what happened to Vietnam and several other south east asian kingdoms the mongols invaded
however if the first invasion was botched due to storms but the second invasion wasn't, the japs stood a good chance of fighting it off, they had spent years preparing for it and had systematically fortified the coast.
>>2231115
Maybe a stronger united Japan, and the sengoku war could've been avoided
>>2231135
If yuan navy didn't suffer a huge defeat, they'd easily take Vietnam. They could potentially take all of south east asia and have good ship building expertise by then. In which case, exploration into India/back to Mid east/etc would be possible. Even America would be possible.
>Yuan dynasty claims America
>They clash with Europeans
>Yuan dynasty rules western half of Americas

It is conceivable that if aliens someday discovered us it would be like the new world conquest?
Any species sufficiently advanced to the point of interstellar travel will understand the relative rarity of alien life, especially intelligent alien life.
>>2231111
We would just be another resource for them. Like we know ants and bees make complex structures but I dont mind killing them.
Independence day is just as likely, depending on if they are interested in our resources.... Or slave labor. Or food. Or even good sport.
How come we always win, I doubt if they can travel the distances needed, we stand an ice cubes chance in Hades. The answer is totally dependent on what their motivation is.
If it's even something we understand
How will Anime be remembered in the annals of History?
The only anime that will be remembered is Evangelion
Something that was heavily impacted by both American animation and WWII.
I wonder how anime would have turned out in an alt hist where Japan didn't lose.

>The government cares for the wellbeing of its citizens. If a sick person is poor, “he is given the cost of his medicine from the public treasury”.
>The citizens pay a fair poll tax when they reach the age of 18. Old people do not have to pay taxes but receive a pension. Every city has a school and a teacher and the children of the poor are fed from the public treasury. “The Chinese, whether poor or rich, young or old, all learn to form letters and to write.” It sounds like socialism avant la lettre.
Did the Chinese invent socialism before socialism was invented by Russian in the 20th century?
>>2231055
You know Rome did most everything you just mentioned to some capacity or another, right? The one exception being the literacy.
>>2231066
Only thing I can recall about Roman empire was grain distribution for the poor.
I don't recall a universal pension system, nor a state funded hospital system, nor a universal schooling system.
So only relevant part is "poor are fed from the public treasury".
I however do recall the churches setting up some sort of a hospital system, however those churches relied on prayers and god's good will for healing the sick.
>>2231055
Russia did not invent socialism or even communism
Hi, I'd like to find a good unbiased book(s) about American History. Any recommendations?
What about The Oxford History of the United States? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford_History_of_the_United_States
>>2231032
American history, despite being short in time, has a large breadth of subjects (enough to rival most countries on Earth). Do you have any specific interests or do you just want a large overview?
You need to be specific. What subject? Honestly I would suggest you read primary sources of stuff you are interested in.
Why turn down a crown? Sure he fought to get rid of one king, but it would have had far more benefit in the long run for what he wanted.
>>2230992
It was purely symbolic, he fully intended in starting a North Korea-esque hereditary dictatorship. But he failed to realize that everyone just capitulated because he was an immense asshole not because they actually wanted him to be king
>>2230992
Only Christ is king.
>>2230992
Kings have to follow the rules; Lord Protector's have no such rules imposed on them so he had the freedom to do whatever he wished.
is it true?

Even if it were, what difference would it have made? Human beings were hardly self aware at that point.
>The increase in brain size stopped with neanderthals. Since then, the average brain size has been shrinking over the past 28,000 years.[8] The cranial capacity has decreased from around 1,550 cm3 to around 1,440 cm3 in males while the female cranial capacity has shrunk from around 1,500 cm3 to around 1,240 cm3.
yes its shrunk, but not as much as that pic suggests. Also there isn't inherently a correlation between the physical size of a brain and level of intelligence.

No.

>brahim, was the first to give an idea to the medieval bloodbath that was India during Muslim rule, when he declared that over 400 million Hindus got slaughtered during Muslim invasion and occupation of India. Survivors got enslaved and castrated. India’s population is said to have been around 600 million at the time of Muslim invasion.

Thoughts /his/ ?
It was a war of self defense. Jihad is holy war in self defense.
PS make sure you your jizya

>India’s population is said to have been around 600 million at the time of Muslim invasion.
Amusing, considering that's more than the estimated world population at the time.
This >>2230885 and another point proving that this is bullshit is that only 15% of the Indians are actually Muslims.
Hey /his/, tell me, who was more in the right in the war for American Independence? Who was right, who was wrong? Was George III crazy?

All they had to do was give the colonies representation in parliament and the whole thing would have been avoided. There was support among the Whigs too, but the Tories fucked things up for everyone else.

This is probably not true anon. Working right now on a film adaption of a book about the revolution so have been reading a lot about it, one book in particular (the one possibly being adapted) will give you an entire different picture on the revolution, at least in terms of the Boston area. These people were..well, for back a better word, hekll-riaisng thugs.

The reason they raised hell in the first place was out of anger over parliaments refusal to provide them an outlet to vent their dissent
