Fibiger paper out on that, looking at violent deaths on skeletons. Theres also weapon findings comparatively by culture in rich graves
Did I also mention how the more steppe dna a culture had the more niggertier underdeveloped it was and had poor elites? Meanwhile neolithic dudes invented slavery and used it for jobs involving mercury poisoning. Meanwhile steppe people were borderline egalitarian in comparison (they werent, but they were far less dynastic and stratified)
On top of that there was a paper on height: average eef 170, average yamnaya 175
Now another one is out, and there is no height difference at all. In fact iron age is SHORTER than neolithic europe.

He's right though. Europeans only became successful because they were lucky to be born in an environment that provides them all the resources they need to survive all year round. Europe, especially northern Europe, has an overabundance of resources like snow and ice which gave Europeans an unfair advantage over Africa.

"Aloud" is in the wrong position here. It's an adverb so it shouldn't come between the verb and the object but rather at the end of the question.

Read this last year, gave it a 7.5 out of 10.
Great contribution to the Cyberpunk genre, cool concepts that I borrowed for my own writing purposes.
Cool story as well, the narrative on how the (((elites))) are and will always be a bunch of pedos is reflective of the current world.

Great mind-bending network sci-fi, like connecting your brain to a camera and seeing through it, getting trapped in cyberspace and slowly fading away, hacking people's tec and killing them with brutal viruses, self-inserting your conscious into an artificial body for sexual gratification (trans people's wet dream (probably something that will happen in the future)) and lots of other great shit that I love.

If you haven't read it and are a fan of Cyberpunk, highly recommend, also probably has one of the coolest cover ever.

Can anyone truly be a postmodernist? It seems to me that those who use postmodern rhetoric, just want to replace the current modernist structures with their own. They might even hold a linear view of history, which culminates in the liberation of "opressed" groups. This leads me to believe that its all a big psyop to force our compliance. Any books for this?

>Before the publication of his first novel, Becker-Green earned double-major in art history and Finance from Dartmouth University, followed by an MBA from the University of Pennsylvania. At 26, he launched the Brideshead Fund and raised $150 million to invest in distressed sovereign debt. Following the funds dissolution after earning an annualized return of 66% for seven years, Becker-Green purchased a sailboat, a 50 wooden-hulled yawl, which he named Shoshanna. While living aboard he completed a series of novellas, which he chose not to publish. His novel, Blackwatch, was written in a few weeks while anchored off Split, Croatia in a "whirlwind of inspiration."
>Becker-Green credits his artistic side to his parents. His father was a screenwriter who became a broadcasting executive and his mother was a painter who often sent poems and watercolors to family and friends. Becker-Green considers himself "retired from earning money" and intends to donate any proceeds from writing to historical preservation related charities.

You financially illiterate pseuds are missing the whole sovereign debt fund angle. Investing in distressed sov. debt is like on the most morally reprehensible things you can do.

The idea is that you have kids and try to give them what you didn't have. Then they grow up and try to give their kids what they didn't have, and so on forever. Your only option is to give yourself to the next generation even if it seems futile.

>>23398620
This makes sense if your kids will inherit a world worth living in, but they won’t, anymore. Anyone with children who isn’t more focused on progressivism/leftism than material comfort is damning their own offspring.

>>23398990
No books off the top of my head, but from professional experience I can explain that it involves buying government bonds of failed/failing states or states and war and then using coercion (which can range from repossessing the state's assets to in some cases actively funding rebel movements/coups) to force the repayment of the bonds. There is a softer side to it, such as helping the countries stabilize and develop and get the loans repaid that way, but it's such a morally dubious venture that I'd be very suspicious of any firm undertaking it, even if they claim to doing it the ethical way.
