It's not impossible to become intelligent obviously, but the odds seem too slim to ever see intelligent life.

"Intelligence" itself, could be an evolutionary dead end.

As a small kid I loved pictured encyclopedias, they were so bloody cool, I admit I loved them originally for pictures but by age 10 I had read 4-5 encyclopedias full and full.

Amazingly I still remember so much from those first books I read and it set a big hunger for knowledge in me.

When I was a small child I thought dinosaurs were cool and I thought dinosaurs were history. Turns out they aren't but I still fucking loved it, it helped that my school history teacher was awesome, he was one of those guys who manage to have a perfect balance between informative and interesting with a lot of flavor trivia. Plus I've always thought learning about the past and how we all ended up in this situation is pretty damn important.

The Polynesians

I also find that shit fascinating, OP. Have any good book recommendations for these that discuss the archaeology?

Also, please post any further photos/info you have.

Polynesian settlers. They had sunk wells, which have since become dry/brackish, so it seems there had been a fresh water aquifer.

Learn about mnemonics to prepare your great consumption.
Remember the background of the historical character you're reading about

Thanks. Any other tips?

What an absolute madman

>>1424050
Someone should write a book on the absolute madmen of history.

Assuming something like that doesn't already exist.

Anybody can ask questions and come up with answers - no matter how stupid and un-understandable they are. Philosophy solves nothing, but I do believe teaches great lessons.

Kind of a cop out

It's a window to their true selves without the vulnerability normally associated with self expression.

Not everyone does trust me, generally the more intelligent appreciate it

I always thought patterns were soothing. Makes us feel assured that were not in pure chaos. Irony is kind of a deviation in a pattern

Timur lane litteraly genocided them

I remember reading somewhere that Iran was still majority Zoroastrian until the Safavid dynasty

>>1421956
Timur also killed more muslims than anyone else in history.

>>1421848
Who were the similar criminals?

I wouldn't have executed any of them, I would have put them in prisons, thrown away the keys and see what happens. Not because they're fascists, but because what they did resulted in innocent people being executed.

If they get killed in their for being traitors in the prisons, so be it, and the same goes for if they don't.

He did basically the job of an informator. I dont see intellectual work about those deeds. Maybe about the rest of what he did, but denuncing people is sure not an intellectual work.

It's not because someone is labelled, or an intellectual overall, that all he does is intellectual work.

Aiding genocide is a heinous crime and those other collaborators should have been given harsher sentences.

The handling of the Rwandan genocide was quite exemplary: People such as Kabuga, Ruggiu and Bemeriki who were involved with RTLM, the radio responsible for broadcasting calls for genocide and giving out the position of groups of Tutsi to massacre, were charged with complicity in genocide or public incitement to commit genocide and ended up in prison (except for those still on the run.)

No he wasn't worse Nicky was

I hate this meme.

Germany was a constitutional monarchy like Britain. The Kaiser did not make the laws. They had a parliament that did that. He was not the executive head of the government. That was the Chancellor. His power as Kaiser was essentially the same as the Queen's power in Britain. They formally approve of and dismiss the Chancellor/Prime Minister.

The worst that can be said of Wilhelm II is that he was a boob. He loved extravagance and regality and pomp and ceremony. He loved Germany and its martial values. He was effusive and impetuous which often caused him & Germany embarrassment. (Kruger Telegram, Daily Telegraph Interview, Moroccan Crises)

But what was his real crime? Was he instrumental in the building of the navy which strained relations with Britain? Yes. Was it a blunder? Certainly. Does it qualify him as being the worst leader? Not even close.
