Genocide of the Germans by other Germans

It saddens me that most of the people claiming to be Rastafarian do not even know who Haile Selassie is, or on where Ethiopia is located. By the way I am an agnostic but things such as faith and religion piques my interest.

Rastafarianism is just an excuse to smoke weed without looking like bums (it doesn't work).
Most people who are Rastafaris don't know they stole their culture from Indian Sadhus. Indians were shipped all around the world, including Jamaica. They brought cannabis from that grew from the ganges. Hence, ganja.

Rastafari is a combination of Judaism and Hinduism.

Historical Literature General Thread. Make recommendations, tell us what you're reading, call out meme authors. I'll start:
>Has anyone read "Napoleon the Great" (called Napoleon: A Life in the US) by Andrew Roberts? Is it worth reading?
Just finished this after being recommended it on here, gotta say if you have even a remote interest in Caesar and/or his campaigns in gaul then pick this baby up
general question to anyone here, how many pages can you read in a day? Any tips for reading faster?

It seems very much in vogue to make bold predictions for the future and have a great, easy confidence that they will come to pass.
Are there idyllic, utopian predictions or attitudes from history that fell flat on their face? (Pre-WW1 Europe being the sort of thing I am thinking about....)
>BRUH
>ATOMIC CARS
>THEY'RE THE FUTURE
>>1799063
Humans were and are bad at predicting things.
However some things can be realized will progress because its the nature of the material world we live in.
Moore's law is an example. We may not be able to predict that there will be a strong AI in 25 years, but we will have a pretty good idea at what processing power we will have.
And based on that, we have a hunch you could similitude all the synapses in the human mind at that point on a not too expensive piece of hardware.
So then you have to figure out what happens when we have strong AI.
I think that is the point of the singularity people. Some of them make predictions of what life will be like, but the definition of the singularity is that we cannot predict the future after a certain point.
I would agree as change is exponential, eventually we as biological humans cannot predict the future. We might still exist but we would not be able to predict the future after that point.

Marxism.
If secular societies are so great then how come they're literally dying?
>>1795723
>Czech Republic (one of most secular atheistic countries there is)
>Better birthrates than all of /V4/, including the most christian EU country
Religion seems like irrelevant factor.
>Posts a fertility map to prove secular socities have low birthrates.
>Only Germany is a secular nation with low births, the other low-birth nations have a strong religious element in their society.
FAIL
>>1795723
France is extremely secular and it has a high birthrate
Can we get a thread about the Palermo stone, and the theory that Ancient Egypt may have dated back to as far as 30 thousand years ago. I have been hearing a lot about a potential "reset" of humanity referenced in different mythology, and the discovery of evidence of nuclear glass and salts around the planet. Is anyone here open minded to the possibility that a "World War 0" could have happened and reset us into the stone age?

Here is an interesting podcast that talks a bit about the dynasties predating the sphinx, and the sophistication of the temples.
>>1795103
Also, they talk about "Gobekeli Teppe" which is supposedly older than Egypt. They also show evidence of construction and stone cutting methods that were better than some newer Egyptian structures. Has anyone been to these places, or know anything about the chances of a "technological reset"?
>>1795093
I'm not sure if humanity got as far as we did now, we would have found SOMETHING advanced by now even if they utterly destroyed themselves.
That being said, it is interesting to think that maybe some civilizations rose to crazy heights before the Sumerians and Egyptians. Something like a plague or warfare wiped them out and they lost what they gained. Sumerians just got lucky that their invention of writing spread to others before they killed each other and other civilizations moved in
Why did so many Christians turn into atheism ?
it's logical?

Logical to believe that everything happened magically ?

I'm a linguist working with an Amazonian indigenous tribe (the Pirahã people). I make frequent trips to their villages and have extensive contact with them. Ask me anything.
Pic related, where they live, a 7 hour flight, 3 hour bus drive and 2~3 hour long boat ride from where I live.
>>1787152
Have you ever fucked one of them?
What are the women like around you (if you're a man)? Do they find you very attractive due to your alien-ness or are more curious than anything?
>>1787166
>>1787172
Pirahã women won't talk to non-pirahã men ever, every time I need to speak with a woman I need to first talk to a man, and he will then communicate what I said to the girl, and then she will talk to him, and so on. Their society is oddly matriarchal, the women usually make decisions about what men should do. They're also 100% polygamous, and jealousy is a completely alien concept. After hitting 40 years they will usually stick with one partner though.
I don't know if the girls think I'm attractive, but probably not. The name they gave me is also the name of a long, white fish, so that's probably how they see me lel.
and not Islam?
>>1799542
