What's your favourite monkey experiment?
Mines 5 monkeys and a ladder
A group of scientists placed five monkeys in a cage, and in the middle, a ladder with bananas on top.
Every time a monkey went up the ladder, the scientists soaked the rest of the monkeys with cold water.
After a while, every time a monkey would start up the ladder, the others would pull it down and beat it up.
After a time, no monkey would dare try climbing the ladder, no matter how great the temptation.
The scientists then decided to replace one of the monkeys. The first thing this new monkey did was start to climb the ladder. Immediately, the others pulled him down and beat him up.
After several beatings, the new monkey learned never to go up the ladder, even though there was no evident reason not to, aside from the beatings.
The second monkey was substituted and the same occurred. The first monkey participated in the beating of the second monkey. A third monkey was changed and the same was repeated. The fourth monkey was changed, resulting in the same, before the fifth was finally replaced as well.
What was left was a group of five monkeys that – without ever having received a cold shower – continued to beat up any monkey who attempted to climb the ladder.

Is it possible for great men to arise without the support of hypercompetent subordinates?

Seeing as how we can almost always point to the accomplishments of subordinates to account for the existence of the accomplishments of the higher man, probably not.

Probably not. That's why most great men have emerged at specific moments and places in history

You mean like, describing Nick I with Nick II's personality and appearance? Or just a simple error, like putting an extra I in Nicholas I?
>>
>>1861027
The latter I suppose. It was describing the background of the "Great Game" between England & Russia (with the time frame of around ~1830) but specifically "Tsar Nicholas II" when it was obviously describing Nicky Uno.

He didn't deserve to fucking die.
Yes the proletarians had to rise up and the upper class factory owning scum had to die, but poor Nicholas had absolutely nothing to do with it.
He was boring in the wrong place in the wrong time.

People talk about how "America did not win the World Wars for Europe," but what would have happened if the US stayed neutral and a non-participant throughout both World Wars?
Given that:
>The Lusitsnia and no other American ships were ever sunk by U-Boats, meaning they were used through the war
>The US kept an embargo on Japan, but a general with good forethought convinced Yamamoto that attacking Pearl Harbor was a bad idea
Try to not continue into the Cold War

America would still become the dominant superpower that it is today. I reckon Germany would still have got rekt but it would have cost a lot more European lives.
>>
In regards to WW1:
>the Germans are not rushed into the Spring offensive
>therefore, they are not repelled at the Second battle of the Marne
>the war drags on for some more months, but the rationing on the homefront culminates in upheavals
>peace treaty is signed in winter or spring of 1919
>>
I don't think it would've had cause to develop the strong navy that it had by 1945 (and Japan probably would've ended up with the world's biggest navy). It also probably would not have had any role in establishing the new economic world order as it did after WW2.
A very basic explanation, but essentially WW2 led to the US having a 1. a very strong navy, and 2. an unrivalled position of economic supremacy over the rest of the world as established by various post-war global economic agreements and institutions. The US would simply be wasting its potential as a global superpower (but from what I'm hearing from some pro-Trump Americans, this is what they basically want.)

Eh, its good if you know nothing about the subject beforehand and the narrative history is nice but beyond that I would recommend more in depth podcasts like Mike Duncan's The History of Rome and its Fan-made sequel, The History of Byzantium. I still think Wrath of the Khans is his best yet just because of how it sets the tone.

What an interesting philosophy about countries, wouldn't you say, /his/? I, for one, think it's mostly true.
