What do you think of him? Was he a man or a meme?

Whenever I see him, I am reminded of Joseph Gorden Levitt and vice versa.

He explicitly said he wasn't a philosopher or an existentialist so it is only a meme because people are stupid.

Why did formal male fashion just become suits and really nothing else?

For like 200 years.
>Black, grey, brown suit
>White shirt.
>Tie.

The major difference is these days people sometimes don't wear a tie, people don't wear wastecoats and only neckbeards wear fedoras.

In the same time, formal female fashion has changed radically and now even females can wear suits along with all sorts of dresses and clothing items that come in all shapes and sizes.

Don't worry OP, Jaden Smith's gonna change all that.

Here he is at the wedding of Kanye and Kim, probably the classiest most formal event of the millenium. That's Jaden on the far right.

On this question:
> formal female fashion has changed radically and now even females can wear suits along with all sorts of dresses and clothing items that come in all shapes and sizes.

Male fashion has to project power and professionalism, female fashion is designed for sex appeal for men so women can basically wear anything that is "sexy" and "elegant", also women are allowed to "dress up" to the better sex which is why they can wear pants, while men can't "lower themselves" to the weaker sex so that's why we can't wear dresses, togas etc.

Where were dating and romance created?
What happened to asking the girl across the street to marry you? Or having your parents arrange your marriage? Even in the esteemed Romeo and Juliet they consummated their marriage after only 2 encounters.

These things still happen in non-European countries. What happened was Romanticism and people caring about being in love with whom they married.
>>
>>940031

An illusory freedom. When you search for ideals, there is always the desire, no necessity to trade up. But there is always someone better as well as someone worse. We become prisoners of greed, we refuse to "settle," forgetting the whole point of it, that it is better than being alone.

Blame 19th century romanticism (among other things it can be blamed for)

Back in the day falling in love with your spouse was something that came with time.

Does anyone know of some good places to learn about eastern mythology? Particularly in the China/Japan/Korea/Mongolian area? I've been interested in it for some time, and wanting to learn about it, but considering the huge popularity of some eastern countries, I've been a little wary of the credibility of some sources. Also, eastern mythology general thread I guess.

What happened to the Phoenicians/Carthaginians in Iberia and Sicily after the Punic Wars? Did they assimilate into the local population?
7 posts and 2 images submitted.
>>
>>939831
Most were killed off after the sacking of Carthage in the third punic war. The ones who remained were either displaced, never to return to Carthage again or even Roman territory, or sold off else where. I image the ones who did stay with the Romans assimilated but in extremely small numbers.
>>
>>939831
Punic language was around even during the times of Augustine.

In general, Carthaginians in Africa merged with other sedentary populations into "Romans", as opposed to nomadic or semi-nomadic Berbers.

Sorry m8, you won't get a documentary on anything from /his/, only expert analysis followed by contradiction of that analysis followed by shitflinging.

Maybe if your filename had been "check 'em" and you'd been a tiny bit quicker posting.

Good luck though.

Indians were chimping out so hard the British couldn't give them independence fast enough, if they were patients it would have gone a lot better.

UK never partitioned Cyprus

>Palestine
You mean Israel

People in Northern Ireland wanted to stay British

Rwanda was never part of the British empire

Armenian genocide happened before the British dismantled the ottoman empire

What's with Asia and all these fucking highrises, seriously, it's not like they have a shortage of land. It applies to Arabs as well who compete with each other over who builds a taller building, is it small dick compensation or something else?

y'know china, maybe if you used the wealth, materials and manpower you had to build these skyscrapers around the rural cities, you'd have a developed country instead of a highly developed east coast

Was there ever a possibility of the Zulu kingdom surviving or was it doomed to be colonized by the Brits? Also talk about other African kingdoms if you want.

The Zulu Kingdom was incorporated into the Boar Republic, and we all know how well that went.

Doomed to colonisation, but it would have been interesting to see how it developed without European interference. The Zulus were the start of civilisation in southern Africa, one of the first large tribal confederations.

How no I not be a history dummy?

All of my understanding of major historical events are one or two sentances long.

Do I just read wikipedia articles? Go to the library and just pick up whatever book looks informative? Are there youtube shows about history that won't make me look like a pleb? Is the only way to do this is to go to school and take history classes, but that's not an option for me.

For complete noobs, Wikipedia isn't always bad, but it can be pretty shit and doesn't help to see the whole picture and how one event leads to another.

Videos can be good, depending on who is making them. I know there is a really amazing WWI on YouTube. Overall though videos are better to learn stories than the overall.

Honestly, I would say if you have a high-school or college history textbook, just start there and read the whole thing.
>>
Read books, starting with what you find the most interesting, and then eventually branching out to cover whatever you know the least about if you want general knowledge or specializing on your favorite topic if you want to specialize in something. In a class all you'd be doing is essentially reading history books and primary sources and having someone hold you accountable for paying attention, so if you're motivated just start reading history books

What period/place are you interested in? You really don't want any book or video or anything that covers "all of history" so start where you're interested

I don't really have any specific interests. Anything major, I guess? I just don't want to be stupid when I don't know what the French Revolution is or how World War 1 started, or why America had a revolution.

Why has nobody joined up the dots and connected the coastal migration culture which colonised Sunda and Sahul with pre-Clovis archaeological sites in South America?

>Pedra Furada archaeological site may be 40,000 years old which is in the same time frame as the second wave
>Some Amazonian tribes are more australoid than mongoloid with a genetic link to Aboriginal Australians
>Fugelians are an isolated Patagonian seafaring culture found on islands in the Southernmost areas of South America who are more similar to Aboriginals than native Americans
