When did you grow out of fiscal conservatism? Also, economics thread.

Economics is the study of a broken system. Grow up and advocate for a collectivist society.
You know what would make this board a lot better? If OP's had a *minimal* word limit, not just a maximum word limit. If that were done, we could weed out most of the OP's that have zero substance. Even better, it might drive away posters who have a short attention span. "And humanities" would be a lot less toxic if it didn't permit basic, obtuse, one line OP's like, "Is monogamy natural?" and "are emotions just chemicals"? Sure, this might negatively impact some fun threads about memeing, but even meme OP's would be better if they were accompanied by some substance. Hell, this might even make religion threads bearable.
All we need is
1. Waaaaaay more moderation
2. Requirement that you need to cite a source for an answer to a question
3. Ban on speculative questioning ("hurr what if Rome never fell", none of that shit has ever produced an interesting discussion)
I feel like if there was a minimum word limit people would just spam text to get around it
If you want reddit so badly just go there. You won't be missed.

Were there any notable differences between the early European modern humans and modern modern humans?
I tried to ask /sci/ but they ignored me.
>>1687909
sci is more or less the worst board to ask about genetics. they're literal idiots when it comes to the field
there are plenty of differences, most of them are along the lines of what you might expect from a premodern hominid. but your question is sufficiently broad that it makes me think you're 12.
>>1687942
I'm pretty ignorant on the entire evolution thing, I went to a Private Christian high school. Evolution was a no-no. So the broadness in my question, that you said indicated a level of knowledge reminiscent of a twelve year old, I do not deny as that is about the level of education I have in historical science.
If I sound pretentious it's because, as stated before, I went to a Christian high school.
I read the wiki though, in summary I read that they were early modern humans.
Honestly, I don't know how to ask my question in a specific way.
Did they have a lower IQ?
Were they dumb or were they nearly indistinguishable in brain power/size?
(I know Neanderthals had bigger brains than humans, so I don't know if that correlates with intelligence or not.)
>>1687989
ah, my apologies. I'm just used to shitposters.
if that's the case, background would probably be more useful for you, so you can choose what reading you want to do more carefully
there are some broad camps
1. leftists: they believe in evolution, but they believe that humans stopped evolving 100k years ago (when blacks and whites diverged as a race) except they believe that evolution for skin color, skull shape, organs, teeth, etc, continued, so they actually believe evolution stopped specifically at the brain, specifically 100k years ago. oh, also, everyone is completely, genetically, equal.
I think you can probably see the problem with this
2. christians.
3. "nazis" who believe that evolution never stopped, and genetics probably make up a large amount of differences even between people of the same race, today.
do you know anything about evolution at all? such as "survival of the fittest" leading to slow genetic change?
given the above, it's almost impossible not to conclude that cro-magnons were signifcantly less intelligent. they had smaller brains, and their skeletons resemble something partially between apes and humans.
this is where leftist understanding begins to break down, because they don't understand neurology, either.
to answer your q, brain size is VERY correlated with intelligence, but not perfectly. genes that control neuron function make a very strong difference as well.

Ive read a little about marxism stating societies' structure consist in
-superstructute
-infrastructure
Both instances conform each society.
Since ethnic groups are societies with a deep symbolic bound, and since the base over which societies rise is economy, would ethnic groups dismiss or split while not having a stable economy?
>>1687832
naw, this is one of the better /his/ threads I've seen. fuck off. half of these threads are about heretics, where do babies come from tier idiot qutestions, etc.
first off OP, stop reading marxist stuff
secondly, yes, ethnic identity is partially maintained by power over a mode of production. but mode of production does not determine the existence or ethnicity, it only helps define what particular form ethnicity expresses itself by.
you sound like you'd be more interested in organizational psychology. the question you asked isn't really inherently tied to ethnicity or economics

Philosophy is part of humanities
I think halal and kosher dietary demands would be an example of how economic activity props up religious activity. It allows a place for the less capable religionists to be of use to their people.

Was it inevitable /his/? There was no America Pox to infect the Europeans to wipe out the Old World. Would this have happened if it were Africans, or Chinese that made contact first,?Would the same result have happened?
yes.
North America used to be linked by a thriving trade network. Then a few hundred years of migrations, famines, drought, war, and disease ruined everything and turned everything north of central Mexico into a Mad Max dystopian hellworld.
Then a few hundred years after that society has built itself back up into scattered tribes with a few novel social systems, such as for example the Iroquois, who had women do all of the labor and economic work while every last man was party of the vast military that engaged in brutal warfare, slavery, and raiding to support the Iroquois society.
Then aliens invaded, destroyed the Iroquois (Or rather saved the Huron and all of the Indians living in Michigan), tried to integrate the Indians into their society, and subsequently used them as soldiers to fight other aliens.
Had the Chinese found North America first there would likely be no "North Americans", just "Chinese living in North America", but China neglected its navy at a crucial time and had no reason to go on colonial adventures anyways. Africa is laughable.
Frankly, things were going to happen the way they did no matter what. The Mesoamericans were just getting a grip on bronze when Europeans came around, meaning that they were some 500 years behind Rome. They simply wouldn't have had enough time to become a threat to Europe/the old world any time soon. Even if, say, Columbus and friends drown and no one ever finds the New World, then what? Europeans keep marching along, eventually electricity, GPS, and satellite occur, and oh look, there's an enormous fucking continent full of people who are essentially in the medieval era.

Did anything actually happen in the 1820s or was the world taking a nap after Napoleon?
Off the top of my head: Decembrists in Russia, Greek independence, uh pretty sure there was a revolt in the Ottoman empire too. Some shit went down with the portugese monarchy also. I guess it was a decade more characterized by internal conflict for Europe.

Have you ever read any of Conquest's poetry, OP?
Into one’s ninetieth year.
Memory? Yes, but the sheer
Seethe as the half-woken brain’s
Great gray search-engine gains
Traction on all one’s dreamt, seen, felt, read,
Loathed, loved…
. . And on one’s dead.
-Which makes one’s World, one’s Age, appear
Faint wrinkles on the biosphere
Itself the merest speck in some
Corner of the continuum.

On a similar note, who were the worst historians?

Now that I think about it, most "historians" I know who are bad at what they do aren't historians at all. It's obvious why they're no good, they have no training in historiography.
In terms of people with actual history degrees the only poor technical historian I can think of is Niall Ferguson. Absolutely baffles me that he graduated with a first. He does a lot of harm to his field.

i used to deny conspiracy theory shit like that until my buddy literally went to public places and several households and got water and tested all of it and there was a shitload of fluoride in the water.
after learning about cloud seeding we tested that and it had a shit load of silver iodide
whatever you believe the reasons, that is very unhealthy
