I know the Egyptians made condoms.

>>509289
From what exactly?

>>509322
Skin of some animal, wasn't it? I've also heard they shoved mud up in there too, but then Egyptians spanned a long time.

It was really only unified on the grounds that the members were not officially aligned with either the United States or the USSR

I don't think much would've been possible, considering the vast differences among the members on issues like economics, religion, foreign policy etc

Ask Nasser.

They ultimately failed in most cases to protect against the influences they sought to reject. Especially in Latin America and Africa, there were tons of superpower-backed revolutions, coups, and upheavals that there was little international cooperation to combat.

That being said, there were a few nations like Yugoslavia, Egypt, Syria, etc who played off both sides for their own benefit.

Where'd you hear this

Kinda.

Love between men and young boys was common and a natural/expected relationship between a lord and his ward.

Cases of extreme loyalty were even romanticized by the Japanese such as the case of Mori Ranmaru and Oda Nobunaga.

During the Edo period Japan was pretty open about sexuality especially in artwork. Homosexual and bisexual relationships weren't frowned on like most other places. That came to a halt during the Meiji Restoration in the 1800's but even those effects are exaggerated.

That changed again during the 1920's and 30's when fetishes became a huge topic in Japanese magazines due to the explosion of Japanese prostitution across China and Korea.

Things now are basically where they were during the Edo period. For men promiscuity is almost expected but getting caught is a huge failure and can get you black balled. Prostituition is still legal and as I'm sure everybody knows Japan is fairly open about its fetishes.

Anyway, the topic of sexuality in Japan is a lot more complex than "it's the white people's fault." don't let anybody say otherwise.

Various articles. Court of public opinion.

I'm not an expert in Japanese history, but it sounded a little too simple. Thought I would ask here

Read the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy.
Then read Epictetus' Discourses.

The rest is rest. Seneca was not much of a stoic, there are few fragments of Musonius, Marcus Aurelius was not a professional philosopher and his books were his exercises. And we have almost nothing on the other ones.

>>508864
The SEP article is pretty good. Then move on to the Cambridge History of Hellenistic Philosophy for greater depth—though still accessible to non-classicists.

AA Long, Epictetus - a Stoic and Socratic guide to Life (2002)
B. Inwood, Reading Seneca (2005)
R. Brouwer, The Stoic Sage - The Early Stoics on Wisdom, Sagehood and Socrates (2014)

I haven't yet gotten around to reading Eric Gunderson, Sublime Seneca (2015)

Can someone give me a sum up of what was the main "dogma" of the stoics?

>>508676
Wonder at where all the bullshit flags came from. Fucking seriously.

No. He was the apex of wanting others, and himself, to buy into dogmatic thought.

"Is the alive man himself what we must found in the dust of the archives and the silence of the museums"

>>508588
Who said that?

"if you don't know history, you'll always stay as a child in front of the events"
I think Cicero said something like this

It failed, obviously, given how the USA centralized anyway.

>>508531
Last time I checked, it's still among the world powers...

How are you, personally, measuring failure and success? I would assume this question determines your answer.

>>508551
This. It centralized.

Like 90% of the country is tribal. You have to at least acknowledge it as part of the underlying pre-colonial societal structure.

Well, it's probably the single most heterogeneous state on the planet.

Like 600 different languages are commonly spoken.

This probably contributes to the long histories of corruption and civil unrest, albeit so does being run by the Dutch.

They were bro tier in ww2, Kokoda and all that.

I'm actually not sure myself, but I hear it has something to do with Chaos Theory. That everything is interconnected, hence, a butterfly flaps its wings and a plague happens.

I'm probably really butchering this theory, I'll shut up now.

>>508268

>...a butterfly flaps its wings and a plague happens.

wtf really? so we arent we all out killing butterflies if they do so much damage to the world

is it cos they look nice?

>>508268
Something like that.

A butterfly flaps its wings, a man sees the butterfly and touches it, he gets a disease, a plague happens

Indeed, agricultural lead to a surplus of food, which in turn lead to protecting that surplus. This of course put humanity down a path towards civilization instead of hunter/gatherer.

But here is your problem OP. You are under some strange utopian assumption that Homo sapien sapiens living in a pre-agricultural age did not have their own "problems".

Would you OP, be so quick to thwart the plethora of inventions and ideas that have come out of civilizations (the computer you are typing from for example)?

Alternative history is a fun and dandy game we can all play together, but to assume if X didn't happen then there would be Utopia, is simply childish and silly.

the morphology? languages which favour inflection tend to have clusters

>>508035
language change (which results in extant phonologies) is all random chance. there's no particular set of language features that encourage one or another sound change.

>>508035
The bants.

One use of language change is encoding and sibbolets, sorry shibboleths, sorry zipoulits.
