the most objectively superior cultures in history relative to other cultures and how were they destroyed:

>Mesopotamia (ancient Iraq)
The Mesopotamian civilization declined because of two main reasons. The first is that the Mesopotamian life style was badly destroyed by war. The different city-states were fighting for control of each others lands and would wage all out conflicts among each other to gain territory. They mostly fought for farmland and irrigation waters. The second reason for the decline of the Mesopotamian civilization was due to the irrigation techniques they used. The same techniques that made farming possible also prevented farming from occurring in later dates. After irrigation water sits on the land, over time, the water leaves behind mineral salt which will eventually erode the farming land.

>Ancient Egypt
Financial mismanagements, Civil war, Immigration.

>India
Buddhism.

>China
Confucius.

>New World Natives
Europeans.

>Persia
Alexander

>Greece
Socrates, Plato.

>Rome
Financial mismanagements, Civil war, Immigration. Christianity.

>Modern Europe
Counter-Enlightenment. Judeo-Christian morality.

>USA
Not occurring yet, despite the Asian satellite state hype (no, not just Japan and Korea!) and scaremongering. To be honest this could be a new conception of empire/culture. Globalist, Darwinian. In some ways it turned the decline of Europe into fruitful industry.

Tried my best not to make normative judgements.

dude what?

Rest is spot on

Early Islamic

Mongols

Modern Islamic

Poverty

>>860716
Read Nietzsche.

Socratic, Confucian, and Buddhist thought were declining forms of philosophy and therefore culture.

>>860785
But it's not like society ran on those philosophies

>>860740
>meanwhile, Islam now

>the most objectively superior cultures in history relative to other cultures and how were they destroyed

>

>Eastern Roman
Arabs, Venetians, Turks, immigration, internal disputes

>Portuguese
Absolutely terrible financial management, Napoleon, England, poorly used colonial resources, Napoleon sort of

>Inca
Spain, internal unstability leading to civil war

>Italian city-states
Napoleon, overshadowed by colonial powers which led to economic collapse

>Khmer
no idea

>>860809
>Khmer

>Historians have proposed different causes for the decline: the religious conversion from Vishnuite-Shivaite Hinduism to Theravada Buddhism that affected social and political systems, incessant internal power struggles among Khmer princes, vassal revolt, foreign invasion, plague, and ecological breakdown.

>>860249
Judaism.

They rule the world so it's clearly beaten every other culture.

>>860797
Society basically ran on philosophy derived from Plato up NIetzche showed up: neoplatoism, Aristotle, Christianity, Kant, even Hegel.

>>860785
What was his beef with Confusius? I never read that part yet.

>>860797
Looked at more closely, it is not the alphas who make the rules but the philosophers. The alphas merely put them into practice, as the Han dynasty did with Confucius' philosophy, Alexander with Aristotle's, the Roman emperors with the Stoics' and the Epicureans', Lenin and Mao with Marx's, Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini and Franco with Nietzsche's, and even the democratic pseudo-leaders, to an extent, with the pseudo-philosophers' liberal claptrap. It is only subhumans who think that philosophy is superfluous and causes nothing, but as the fascists' and communists' millions of victims discovered (a little too late for their liking), not only is philosophy (which is to say thought) not superfluous, but it makes the world go round.
