This guy was a writer, doctor and designer and other things. He's a pretty big deal in my town but I doubt anyone's heard of him outside of that.

It depends on tribe. For example the Iberians were developed , the austrians were always a pain in the ass.

Tannhauser, Faust, and Götterdämmerung are all elder-god tier. Also, Wagner is romantic period. Beethoven and Mozart would be classical.
On the topic of the romantic period, Berlioz is prob my favorite composer next to Wagner and he's highly under-appreciated

Why did Orwell hate the Irish so much?
>W.B. Yeats once said that a dog does not praise its fleas, but this is somewhat contradicted by the special status enjoyed in this country by Irish nationalist writers
>Actually, it’s simple. Orwell went to Spain to fight for his most deeply held belief, yes. Unfortunately, that belief wasn’t socialism but the nastiest, most puerile of the tribal hatreds English babies learn in the cradle: anti-Catholicism.
The revolution in Catalonia was unlike any other socialist rebellion before or since. Its fury was reserved for priests, nuns, churches and monasteries, and the anarchists Orwell loved were famous for inventing new ways to kill clerics. That’s what drew Orwell to Catalonia: the chance to help the men who were disemboweling priests in Barcelona and winding their guts around the altars. At last, a chance to smite the bloody Papists, the whore of Rome, Eric Blair’s oldest and dearest hate. Not since Cromwell had an English Papist-baiter had such an opportunity to torment the filthy priests. Naturally, Orwell was on the first ship he could catch. It wasn’t about socialism, it was about the chance to kill “a stinking RC” (Orwell’s description of Wyndham Lewis).
The Celtophobia starts in the very first line of 1984, the famous opening: “It was a cold, bright day in April and the clocks were striking thirteen.” Oh the horror of the continental (Papist) 24-hour clock

Why has China historically had so much trouble modernizing?
6 Posts / 1 Images

>>1122915
Consider two people, both living in city preindustry. In preindustry, man China is an old, very SENILE nobleman who is well settled, renowned within the city, has his entire family settled there, has a large family estate with thousands of years of history and almost all his business assets centred in the city. A younger man who lives near China, Japan, a new university graduate who had based his thesis off a lot of what China had told him from his own experiences, who has a modest, newly established house, no family, and little affection for anyone in the city. When invaders come and conquer the city, would the young and open-minded newly educated Japan, or the senile, established and elderly China be more receptive towards the possibilities of greater attainment?

Ok so i would like some more information on ancient indus folks, who were they, how did they manage to build such a glorious, flourishing civilization in such an early era (It was the world's oldest civilization IIRC)? How did life in their world look like, what was their culture, their beliefs and day to day life like?

>It was the world's oldest civilization IIRC
I think it's pretty uncontested that Mesopotamia and Egypt are much older. To put it in perspective, when Indus Valley urban development was just getting kickstarted, Egypt was already getting unified under a Pharaoh.
>>
>>1122783
The people of the Indus valley probably believed in a kind of mother goddess similar to the Minoans on Crete, also for them water most likely would have been considered holy.

Yes, because Portugal was a rich and debt free country before him. With levels of iliteracy of 0%.
