Canterbury Tales was written in the late 14th century and it's mostly understandable.

What do guys think of extra history?

Meh, entry-level tier. Has its moments, and it's less pants-on-head retarded than crash course.

They fucked up their crusades series though, probably in the name of political correctness. Realcrusadeshistory has an entire miniseries debunking Extra Credits, and unlike Extra Credits he names his (mostly primary) sources.

I like them. But as they themselves say, don't think that you're getting anywhere near the full story. If they talk about something that interests you, do further reading. Don't think you know it just because of a couple of videos that give you the barebones story.

They're almost as cucked and PC as John Green. And I only say almost because it's a level beyond attainable.

What percentage of present day Americans are lineal descendants of members of the American Revolution?
Intuitively I feel it will be quite high due to branching of ancestors.

Have a relative whom served under Nathaniel Greene. With a second relative who served under Anthony Wayne.

It is not as much as you'd think because since the 3 mass waves of immigration (1840s, 1880s, & 1900s) most people are decendants of Irish immigrants whom escaped the potato famine, Italian descendants who were leaving Italy because of a slow economy, French and German descendants whom were escaping the consistent wars between the two.

I still find it funny that British citizens didn't immigrate as much to America as I originally thought.

My family name comes from a Hessian who defected to the Americans. Good thing for me he liked the idea of having his own farm.

Just four back and you already have 16 ancestors.

Because it doesn't take into account the sheer diversity of religions and because it assumes that a life wasted believing something false is nothing of value lost.

>what drives men to war?

I dont mean the higher ups, who have personal vendettas and send hordes to go out and kill for their own interest. The common man, the guy who isnt quite sure why hes there, but willing to go through hell and sacrifice it all. Is this innate in all men? Why are men so willing to fight?

I think its moreso innate. Look at the American Civil War and WW1 where people were elated at the news of war and were volunteering in the thousands to join.

When did you realize that Diogenes was right?

For me, it was when I realized that our society sucks in the same ways, if not more so, than the Greco-Roman societies.

Sure. The Japanese are for the most part godless, and they're a shame based society.
27 posts and 2 images submitted.
>>
Why would that not be possible?
>>
>>1200493
Yes and yes. Shame is just an emotion, every human is capable of feeling shame. And just because there isn't an objective morality doesn't mean there is no morality. Morality is both neccisary for a functioning society and firmly rooted in empathy, which nearly every human has
>>
>>1200493
Here's a better question. If the god-less are the ones who don't need religion to live morally fulfilling lives, is the fear of damnation the only reason the god fearing are kept in line?

You travelling back would also be part of God's will.
As we've seen, though, anybody who believes in predestination doesn't seem to have a problem with the fact that God punishes people for things that were predetermined.
Most Christians until recently also believed that Satan was merely a tool of God, inferior to him and within his power, therefore Satan tempting eve to eat the apple was also God's will and done with God's permission.
