How would history be different if america legalized cocaine in 1933 instead of alcohol?

i don't think it would be much different
>>
>>1130329
They had legal coke back then. It was in Coke. And dental products. And nasal products.
>>
I think it would be a lot more different. And the growth would be a lot less localized than it currently is. It would be grown all over the tropics.

Rumor has it that coca leaf chemical consumption in the U.S. Stopped once panama was taken control by the us in fear that south americans would make money from the sale of it. Especially by making coca cola its prime trade partner. Instead coca cola got the patent to take the nasty evil stuff from the leaf.

I've come to the conclusion, after years of study on the brain and behavior (at uni and on my own) that free will does not exist.

Is there any reason it should or we think it might beyond "it'd sure be nice" or "muh ego"? Do we have ANY evidence that it might exist?

I read a synopsis of the fantasy "A Brother's Price" where humanity birth rates of male to female favors females 9:10 times making males a rarity. In the book, men take on the passive feminine role women have in real society as bartering chips in marriages who have to maintain their purity before marriage. Meanwhile the excess of women make up the warrior classes, the active roles in society and rule society in a matriarchal system.

Is this accurate to how real society would form if men made up a notably smaller population IYO?

Unlikely. Men are still the stronger more aggressive sex biologically speaking, and biologically speaking again, a single man can impregnate many women. Now, sheer wait of numbers could mean men have more limited rights then they do now, but there is no need to prize male virginity as such.

It's more likely you'd see harems and polygamy rather then men being prized for their virginity or whatever.

>not using the physically superior men as juggernauts to steamroll enemy females

even in fiction chicks are retarded
>>
I doubt it. If you look at history, there were lots of cases were a relatively small minority group conquered a much larger majority population. While that isn't gendered, it still goes against the idea that all you need is a majority to dominate. Many Central Asian groups that came to dominate China fall into this category, such as Xianbei, Xiongnu, Mongols and Jurchen/Manchu.

The reality is that while some women can be quite strong, the strongest men tend to be stronger than the strongest women. In a society where women far outnumbered men, they would probably have a larger role in society but I still think strongmen would dominate as they would be the better warriors in many cases imo.

It's curious to consider how exactly Jefferson would've suggested the US fight back against other industrialised nations if it didn't industrialise itself.

If he'd gotten his nation of yeoman farmers, how would Americans hold off any foreign invasion just a few decades later?

humes idea is that there is no stric logical relationship between an effect and its cause and that therefore the size of experimental data about an alleged law of nature, even if extraordinary large, cannot justify to prove the law of nature as a matter of logic

so here is my question, is this just ridiculously exaggerated scepticism, or acutally a sensible idea ?

>Eternal sins or unforgivable sins or unpardonable sins are part of Christian hamartiology, which is the Christian theology of sins. These are sins which will not be forgiven by God whereby salvation becomes impossible. One eternal or unforgivable sin is specified in several passages of the Synoptic Gospels:[1] verse 29 in Mark 3 states that there is one sin considered eternal and that is "blasphemy against the Holy Spirit".

Tell me everything you know about the Black Plague. I want to pool all knowledge; scientific and hearsay on it. It seems like there's no dedicated site to the thing that killed the most human beings in history.

I know that:

>there are four types of plague: bubonic, pnuemonic, septicemic, and enteric. Only Bubonic could be survived.
>supposedly the plague started as an innocent digestive virus in birds. It's when it made its way to rodents, fleas, and finally humans that it became deadly. I don't have the (if any) scientific source on this though.
>Ring a Ring o' Roses nursery rhyme is based on the plague.
>The London Fire of 1666 actually stopped the London Plague of 1665 by burning down infected areas.
>Nostradamus developed a "rose pill" that cured the plague, after an 8-year romp through the country-side after his University closed because of it. He also helped fight against the plague by cleaning the streets after his first wife and children may have died to it.
>Supposedly before an outbreak of the plague, residents reported a black cloaked figure on the outskirts of their village. This tale propagated into the origin of the Grim Reaper.

From wiki, this is a picture is of Yersinia enterocolitica colonies growing on XLD agar plates.

Black plague (Yersinia pestis) belongs to this same family.

The black cloaked figures were real (Jewish).

Truly apocalyptic stuff. If there was anytime in history I would think the End of Days was upon us, it would be during the Black Plague. People think things are bad today but it's nothing compared to then.

Why was Britain against Germany during WWII? Hitler said that he wouldn't touch the empire as he only wanted continental hegemony, he even wanted an alliance with them. Instead, Britain entered a costly war and effectively empowered the Soviet Union, who had been an anti-colonial force since its inception. Thoughts?

Because you have to understand Britain ALWAYS allied with smaller countries against the aspiring European hegemon, no matter who the hegemon was. Napoleon, Wilhelm II, Hitler, it doesn't matter.

The Brits of old didn't want a "strong ally" because that's for betas and plebs, they wanted everyone to be lower than them.

Well maybe not everyone in England was retarded enough to think that totalitarian German rule over all of Eurasia would be a good thing for Britain.
