He is a terrible writer but everything he said is true.

Communism killed more people than capitalism and had overall worse results.

These statements are both exaggerated.

Archipelago is a novel. It is a novel based on camp myth oral histories. Solzhenitsyn isn't an oral historian. He was a radical orthodox "born again."

Op you delusional fool. What do you think this is?

Do you have a decent understanding of psychology to begin with? Do you know psychology's history as a field? I think that is the best place to start then move on studying research and theory you can apply.

Start with evolutionary game theory, where definite conclusions are at least possible, before entering the realms of pure guesswork.

>>389561
You can probably get into the field through either psychology, biology or ethology. I know there are doctorates in it, and there are probably masters' degrees (Bologna).

Heh, I've got at least one of those. Coming from the mystic east, I have ancestors who descended from legendary god emperors, and even bear the name to this day.

Of course there's an asterisk there considering deification was posthumous.

I wonder if people in Greece still bear the family names of the Argeads, or the Atreids.

Actually, if oyu look at the rates of death in battle in ancient Greece compared to deaths in childbirth of at least Roman times (as far as I'm aware, nobody compiled even cursory statistics about Greek death in childbirth), bearing children was enormously more dangerous than fighting in battle. Orders of magnitude more, especially for the Spartans, who won a lot more than they lost.

So could there be some shred of truth to some of the tumblr historians?

i hate this histrionic, shrill style of writing where hundreds of different people all end up sounding like the same spastic teenager. I call it the tumblr-tone

Is anything?

Because Europe is keked by Islam and Italians off the Main trading routes of the world.

Meanwhile the likes of China, Ottomans, Indians aren't.

The only one that tried was Japan and boy did it fail.

What happened to Japan?

This is actually a good point.

But every religion I'm aware of answers the second question in the affirmative, that the God or Gods they worship affect the world with explicit supernatural actions.

That's viewed as secondary to the "Does God exist" because the usual evidence advanced for God's existence rests on these miracles, which, if believed, demonstrate an affirmative answer to both questions.

Satan pls

Aliens built it.

Nope.
Globalisation is an inevitable product of capitalism. And capitalism will always win. Too much money to be made selling air-con to Africans etc

>>388740
So, you're basically saying that in a world that has no capitalism, there would be much less room for globalization?

So then, what should've happened for the world to change like that?

Let's get some kind of alternate history going

>>388785
I think I'm saying capitalism and globalization are practically the same thing. Globalization is a symptom of capitalism like a runny nose is a symptom of a cold.
I don't think there could be any serious alternate history here. If you have two stone age tribes who begin to trade with each other, eventually they will begin to resemble each other as ideas and artifacts swap between them, and the distinction between them will become meaningless.

>>388676
Of course. Almost every scientific field (as well as the social sciences - including economics) was either created or vastly expanded between the mid-1700 and early-1800s. Also most of our political concepts rely on distinctions made in that period.

>>388676
Yes. All the choices of religion and government unique to western civilization culminated in it. Too bad after the height only the decline comes.

it was basically when the west became the west instead of Greek, Roman, or Germanic Barbarian
