Redpill me on the Solutrean hypothesis
Basically the director of the paleoindian program at the Smithsonian, Dennis Stanford, was it's biggest public champion.At this point I'm more convinced that it was really the other way around.Still, it's biggest detractors mostly ignore their actual arguments.

Nuclear weapons have saved more lives than any other invention and I'm tired of retards insisting they're le bad just because they see "big thing go boom and kill people". Historically, there has not been a single greater deterrent for war than nuclear bombs.
>>18624944This meme is dead. War never stopped. And in several cases nukes have emboldened countries to be more belligerent than they would otherwise be. Political and economic interconnectivity discourages war, not superweapons.
>>18627408We outsourced wars to the Third World.
>>18624944fuk you llm faggot
>>18627408>War never stoppedHe obviously meant war between countries that actually matter, not wars against or between irrelevant shithole countries. There have been no wars between real countries since WW2. Only wars in which real countries pick fights with lesser nations, or in which lesser nations squabble among each other while the countries that actually matter watch from on high like gentlemen at a blood sport arena.
>>18624944A temporary damming of progress that's gonna end in massive destruction and billions dead. All because you were vain enough to believe humanity doesn't need wars
>in The Tale of Genji, written in the early 11th century, men are frequently moved by the beauty of youths. At the conclusion of Chapter 2, the hero, having failed to win over a woman he desires, settles for her younger brother: "Ah well then," His Lordship sighed, as he brought him down to lie beside him, "at least you will not desert me." The lad was most delighted at finding himself embraced by one so youthful, charming, and distinguished. His Lordship, it is said, was likewise pleased at the warmth of this fraternal company, judging him to be far preferable to his ice-cold sister."
Is it really "pederasty" if girls of about the same age were also considered fair game at the time? ALL ancient people, straight or not, were basically pedophiles by current year standards.
>>18626227Based than yuri tranny
>>18627149Monogamy only works when women are property. Otherwise it only serves to make 2 people miserable instead of only 1.
>>18627204I associate the word with boy preference. It's strange how often the straight masculine ancient men preferred boys over girls of the same age. Maybe there was something more to it than physical
>>18627574Yes, there was. Basically, fucking girls and women was relatively easy for elites, and thus had little status value. Fucking boys was a status symbol that proved you were part of the "aesthetically superior" elite in way that normal reproduction did not.
Of the total of approximately US$50.1 billion shipped by the American Lend-Lease program during World War II,The United Kingdom (England and British allies) received approximately 63% (US$31.4 billion), while the Soviet Union (USSR) received approximately 22.5% (US$11.3 billion).The remainder was distributed among France, China, and other allies.To understand how this distribution was broken down in terms of gross values and overall program proportions, see the key data:Division of Values and PercentagesUnited Kingdom: Approx. US$ 31.4 billion (about 63% of the total program).Soviet Union (USSR): Approx. US$ 11.3 billion (about 22.5% of the total program).France: Approx. US$ 3.2 billion (about 6% ).China: Approx. US$ 1.6 billion (about 3% ).Other Allies: Approx. US$ 2.6 billion (about 5.5% ).

Natural selection is good enough to determine fundamental laws like theft or murder but i still don't believe it is enough to replace morality A society can be both competitive and better adapted to survive yet produce a certain disgust at its existence. There is a something that drives us to not accept injustice regardless of race or class interestsTo put it another way. This lizard is gray. Gray lizards are harder to find for birds. Green lizards die off, gray lizards continue. That is not enough to write a law code, or answer the question of why continue living at all
>>18627486>Natural selection is good enough to determine fundamental laws like theft or murderOkay. How?
>>18627501A society that does not punish or act in some way to avoid its own destruction does not survive. Maybe i give too much credit even to this. Maybe the evidence of chimpanzees patroling territories and carrying out revenge killings is circumstancial, and you can survive just fine without the concept of private property.But anarchy, as in the complete lack of laws, only appears to be circunstancial across history, with either governments or tribal customs re-establishing some sort of "law"
>>18627547You've confused a law of nature for a moral or ethical system. This is basically what you're saying:>Gravity is good enough to determine building codes like carrying capacity or structural integrity but i still don't believe it is enough to replace moralityThe very fact that you think natural selection is in the category of morality at all shows you don't understand either very well.
>>18627547You should compare humans to eusocial animals. When it comes to culture we are closest to them.
>Japanese blacksmiths are unable to replicate European weapons and ask the Portuguese for help>African blacksmiths learned to replicate European weapons simply by looking at themThat's brutal.

>>18627542From losing to the Portuguese to getting ass whooped at midwayJapan never adapted to the sea
>>18627542Was Korea admiral Yi a naval power?
>>18627549Moreso than the Japanese, at least. Their only brief glory at sea was during the Pacific War in the 20th century. And even this was short-lived. For a long time the Japanese actually had an almost superstitious fear of sea travel. On land, they were pretty formidable. Or at least enough of a threat that Korea was hopelessly overmatched. At sea, the Japanese barely better than helpless.
>>18627555Makes sense, also why Russia discovered Sakhalin before the Japanese did.
why did she do it
After China lost the 1st Sino Japanese War, her son embarked on a spirited reform program. However, China's conservatives decided that if there was one thing worse than repeated national humiliation, it was reform. Cixi agreed because she thought her puppet was getting too uppity.
>>18625427Because Li Hongzhang saved her ass. He'd been the one to countermand her orders providing official support for the boxer rebels and placed her on house arrest. When he was negotiating with the 8 nation alliance at the end of the rebellion they presented him with a list of war criminals to be turned over to stand trial in European courts. Cixi was #1 on the list. He convinced them that handing over a member of the royal family like that was simply impossible, argued that she had been misled by opportunists she wasn't really a rebel leader, and she had already been stripped of any political authority and cloistered where she could no longer cause any trouble.
>>18624372> a woman>whylol

How did amharas lose control of ethiopia?
what's the difference between all these ethnic groups?
>>18624282>the current government is frankly Amhara supremacistIt'a cracking down on Amhara.>>18625257It's cracking down on Oromos even more. Abiy is also Oromo. To answer both of you Abiy is basically trying to sanitize and pimp out Ethiopia by glossing it up to investors while tearing down Ethiopia's cultural, religious and historical background.
>>18625900so kinda like saudi arabia?
>>18625914If Saudi Arabia were an ethnic mess borne out of centuries of conflict and migrations then yes.
>>18625878they are more similar to their neighboring countries than each other creating a mess, amhara being the former imperial core, and the rest being conquered before the communist revolution unseated their empire, on the south west the nuers, anuaks, bench and bertas are ethnically south sudanese basically, west with gumuz and shinashas is sudanese, north in tigray is most ethnically similar to eritrea, afar is with djibouti, somalis with somalia, and oromos with their breatheren and origin point in kenya

Top Three US enemies:1. Russia - They can't even fight a third world nation.2. China - Everything they "engineer" is stolen from America by spies. They do more trade business with us than our allies.3. Middle East - All they do is lie, start fights, and then beg for mercy when we retaliate.Lol.
>>18627174Sure, and I'm not arguing that Russia is more competent than the US. But without nukes, all-out war between us would kill a lot of people and achieve fuck-all.
>>18627174And the usa would lose to Mexico. I say this as a Mexican, I yearn for you stupid white bastards to be stupid enough to declare war on us and everyone here, the men and the women will be butchering you cartel style. The Mexicans in the USA will be sleeper cells ready to fuck your shit on the inside too, your military is 25% latino already, they will give us information like they already do through WhatsApp to extended family members. Come on shithead gringos, fucking do it, I want to recover California and Texas already (it will happen anyway through demographics, but a war would be funny so you open your eyes that you were never superior to anyone).
>>18627191> The Mexicans in the USA will be sleeper cells ready to fuck your shit on the inside too,60% of ICE agents are Latino lmao but sure Pablo, now please make me a taco
>>18627198Us is not weak at all, but we don't know the true strength of any country, us could be like france waiting to surrender to a germany.
>>18627191I don't know, man, there are parts of Mexico that Mexico can't conquer. Could the USA conquer Mexico? Absolutely not, would be a clown show.
>Man, I wish there was a language where words were gendered (which is something retarded in and out of itself) just like romance languages, but unlike romance languages you could not tell the gender of a given word just by looking at it
>>18626511Because the Dutch themselves don't identify as such, whereas Austrian pan-Germanism was still popular until it was literally banned at gunpoint by their conquerors.
>>18626452France is a country which, at least since the Revolution, has always cared about "rational" systems and being in step with modernity (or worse, defining what modernity even is). The government has never hesitated to reform what it perceives as antiquated institutions and systems, rewrite old customs, reorganize farmland which previously used medieval boundaries for enhanced efficiency, etc...You see this attitude displayed in how the University of Paris is in a never ending state of reorganizing, rebranding, dividing, reuniting again, etc... Whatever the fuck "La Sorbonne" actually is seemingly varies by decade lol.Latin *is* still offered in the French national curriculum (standardized nationwide) and there's still students taking it, but in general the culture of the country doesn't place the same value on it anymore, people want to speak to the Spanish and to the Germans when they travel to those countries and interact with them via shared cultural beacons like Football, Erasmus exchanges, etc.
>>18626168It doesn’t get easier than latin
>>18627351>jamboy thinks it has something smart to sayI'm not interested in brownshit verbal diarrhea Go to another thread and discuss things you know
>>18626511Short answer: Hapsburgs.
How do you cope with the evil inherent within humanity? Like look at Julius Cesar, during the Gallic wars he had his men just raze villages and kill women and children. And further back in the Bronze age this was just the norm, wiping out cities and killing everyone inside was expected and celebrated. Hell they even do this in the bible. You can't convince me that everyone in these armies were sociopaths, they were probably mostly normal dudes. This evil is within normal people. How do you cope with that? How can you look at this and feel that humanity is anything good or worth saving?
>>18623652>Name one enduring accomplishment of his. Even his right-ish ideas were right for the wrong reasons.Seed stratification is common practice. Grafts are taken from specific strains as branches mutate with benefical properties.There wasn't even a reason why DNA should prove him wrong, as it could plausibly do either, and it appears to do some intelligent process rather than changing only by error. The nucleus takes proteins inside when the cell is stressed, to "study" them in some way. E. coli can fix a disabled pathway when sufficient chromium is provided. Species have implausibly high numbers of "orphan genes" that arose anew, and are specific to the species. The state when the DNA is being rewritten is called "genomic instability" and claimed to be a cause of cancer, but there is no evidence that cancer is the result.
>>18622663>16 year old's first existentialism
>>18624459Lysenko neither pioneered the practice of seed stratification nor the concept of a bud sport. Try again.
>>18626032Genetics only gave us deformed dogs, and food so empty in nutrients that we are all technically malnourished. All of it also dies en masse once it encounters a virus, or any other kind of stress, and needs to be sprayed with chemicals 24/7 to even stay alive.
I mean just as we have the capacity to do bad, we also have the capacity to do good, i think the Chinese nailed it with the ying yang, reality is a giant yinyang

I heard someone saying this place was a big influence on internet culture, but that era ended a decade ago. Before that,>a meme would appear on 4chan>someone would export it elsewhere >It would go mainstream in the span of 1-3 yearsThen 4chan nearly stopped producing its own memes, started importing them from elsewhere, and its overall impact on internet culture greatly diminished.Which may be true, but I got the impression that 4chan inadvertently upgraded from >influencing internet culture to >influencing general culture.Memes are faster and ultimately shallower. At best, they're a vehicle for deeper ideas they can't really express in full; without those ideas, a meme is ephemeral and gets quickly forgotten.But those ideas are heavier, the process of spreading them is way slower, and it's much harder to get people to fully embrace them. So I looked at a bunch of non-mainstream ideas and fringe concepts that were popular on some 4chan boards around decade ago, and checked where they are now in terms of general appeal and popularity.Comment too long.

>>18626554Glownigger btw is a meme that was forced by the actual glowniggers while they were taking over the site. JIDF and other such memes too, as they were heavily spammed to force anon to reject anything but the preferred narratives and forced memes. That's the watershed where anon stopped caring about OC and started caring about following dogma. That was what needed to weaponize the site.
>>18625569>and of course AI slop has completely ruined the siteSpeaking of which, the "slop" meme in all its variations originated largely on 4chan and has quickly become an established term in languages all around the world, despite its origins as an antisemitic slur.4chan definitely still has considerable influence on internet culture even if it's no longer the meme machine of the 2010s.
>>18626591>4chan definitely still has considerable influence on internet culture even if it's no longer the meme machine of the 2010s.The fact that looksmaxxing suddenly became a normie thing in 2026 attests to this. It was created on 4chan over a decade ago and it just randomly resurfaced.
