So, I'm sure most people are aware of the disputed between Rundstedt and Rommel over how to defend against an Allied invasion, with Rommel advocating keeping everything on the beaches and Rundstedt wanting a more conventional counterattack, with mobile elements further back.

I've done a bit of reading on their back and forth, and as far as I'm aware, Rundstedt never uses the rather compelling argument that Rommel's plan had already been tried against Avalanche at Salerno, and failed miserably.

Does anyone know why he didn't use it? It seems s pretty good point to make.

Oh boy, is it time for cross board shitposting with /lit/ and /sci/? Most scientists think philosophy is stupid. More news at 11.

>Most scientists think philosophy is stupid.

Not necessarily.

They just think it has massively lagged behind science as a discipline and isn't currently contributing much that is useful. This is a view shared by some philosophers.

was there practical use to the spike besides aesthetic and a projection of authority? Like those small holes in the spike, what are they for?

It only seems stark from the inside, to an outside observer you're much more alike than different, you just get caught up in the smaller details.

Split between Industrial and Agrarian economies. I'm leaving a lot of details out, but that's the gist of it.

We've had multiple agricultural revolutions in the past that have exponentially increased our capacity for population, and with the advent of GMOs I foresee a new agricultural revolution soon that will once again exponentially increase our capacity for population.

yeah its called ending cannabis prohibition

Lol, it literally only works for bacteria in labs.

I used to think Christians burned it down, then I found out it was just a meme.

It wouldn't surprise me if the library itself is a meme as well and never contained anything of value.

How would one know something they don't know?

Not huge. They reportedly collected every document that came into port, so there would have been loads of inane receipts and lots of early orphic/gnostic bullshit probably
The siege of baghdad isn't particularly mournful either, medical knowledge is not irreplaceable.

It wasn't an intentional policy, it was the result of billions of people going

>wait, I can afford a car now
>I don't have to live in the city any more
>I can not be a farmer, and still not have to rely on either walking or public transit to get where I'm going
>cities are polluted, cramped, and crime infested

Now, this problem could have been mitigated somewhat by designing cities less around cars and more around subways, and by not fucking up social policy and creating a bunch of ghettos, but at the end of the day, it's simple economics.

A square foot of land in an area with high demand is going to be more expensive than the same amount of land in a less developed area.

I suspect the same pattern will happen in reverse if humans don't find a substitute for oil. Petroleum is the most energy dense material on earth outside of nuclear material, so individual cars would become less and less feasible again if it becomes more expensive.

>I suspect the same pattern will happen in reverse if humans don't find a substitute for oil.
Synthetic oil... You know, like we already are capable of making. Natural oil can just be produced in greater quantities and for less money. (most of the cost of oil is tax)

>so individual cars would become less and less feasible again if it becomes more expensive.
Cars were a thing at $4.50, they'll be still be a thing at $5.00.

The only difference you will see is the rise of the extended range electric vehicle because electric cars and hybrids are objectively shit.
With an EREV you should have the least amount of battery weight possible, and the lightest generator possible. You get the energy density of chemical energy and can always operate the generator at peak efficiency.

>tl;dr
extended range electric vehicles are the pinnacle of personal transport and cars will never die.

Either that or stunning indifference. They wouldn't let them receive grain as a gift from other nations.

If it was it was the most ineffectual and limp wristed attempt at genocide ever.

>OI M8 HER MAJESTY D' EN DOH NUTTEN

But in seriousness, while the intentional starvation did take place, I doubt we can brand killing subhumans as "genocide".

Clausewitz was a much more comprehensive thinker.....

Sun Tzu's work is so vague that people can amateurishly apply it to other fields like business or whatever and is much easier to read which is why its probably more popular

On War is much more narrow

>Tumu crisis
>Mass rape in Nanjing
>Sino Japanese wars
>Mongol conquest of China
>Manchu conquest of China
>Opium wars

I'm sure Chinese had learned enough from that meme text.

>>1590343
is Clausewitz On War a meme text as well?

no you don't understand

individuals are worthless and their suffering means nothing, only lasting legacies and nations are real

therefore only kings and governments matter, citizens are expendable

It only means they were right in persecuting them, except for the "not finishing the job" part.

>They think we're dangerous and conspiring against them, why would we prove we possess the ability to be decent people and assimilate, when we can corroborate their suspicions to install regimes that falsely promise plenty in order to murder millions of innocent people?

But in seriousness, probably the vatican. They have moles in most western countries and get free money for doing absolutely nothing. This is a particularly big problem for developing countries.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesoamerican_writing_systems

>Mesoamerica, along with Mesopotamia and China, is among the few known places in the world where writing has developed independently. Mesoamerican scripts deciphered to date are a combination of logographic and syllabic values. They are often called hieroglyphs due to the iconic shapes of many of the glyphs, a pattern superficially similar to Egyptian hieroglyphs. Five or six scripts have been documented in Mesoamerica, but the limits of archaeological dating methods make it difficult to establish which was earliest and hence the forebearer from which the others developed. The best documented and deciphered Mesoamerican writing system, and the most widely known, is the classic Maya script. An extensive Mesoamerican literature has been conserved partly in indigenous scripts and partly in the postconquest transcriptions in the Latin script.

Wheeled toys have been found throughout Central and South America. Conditions then did not warrant scaling wheels up for everyday use.

Incans came close to writing.

>>1594209

To be fair, those are technically not South American civilizations.
