Remember the first episode where Caesar stands around with red paint on his face while Vercingetorix is strangled in front of him and the Temple?
The show depicts him dying with his clothes on. This is not what actually happened.
Rome was equal parts social advancement and extreme barbarism.
All our problems are exactly the same.
The human mind hasn't changed much. Our societies have changed massively. We can reach any point on the globe in less than 24 hours. We have tons of new problems the Greeks couldn't even imagine.
Calculus was assembled from previously existing but not understood to be related parts. Fermat and Descartes laid huge amounts of the ground work building off of what the Greek's had discovered in infinitesimals 1600 years earlier.
The initial version of Calculus would be mostly unrecognizable to a mathematics student today.
been in these events where the C-Suite would have a 10-hour continual meeting to rapidly address a major problem while the VP was tasked with handling every-day tasks.
How big was the company then? Does it have anywhere near the dynamics of the institution you're attempting to compare it to? Was it even publicly held?
You're describing how high school clubs work.
This is the federal government.
You're ignoring the CIA, the NSA, the donors, the wealthy news company owners, foreign governments, and really everything else that competes for time and attention.
It's not two people sitting in a room and doing civics class "good government" bullshit. why would you even want that?
It's like when a kid doubles down on an insane lie.
They have their back against the wall and the only move is to step up and take the punishment or throw a hail mary and hope it comes through for you.
They should have been cleaning up shop. I'm guessing they haven't done that yet.
That's a problem with any form of collectivism.
Natural matriarchies have a single female in control.
Like patriarchies she is a target within her clan amongst other females and the strongest one wins. They fight but the fighting tends to be distributed across several members and periods of time. They often start due to underhanded tactics by one competitor or the other.
In any case, the main function is not group order, but breeding order. The comparable ape societies are not collectivist in any way beyond this and breaks to the ordering are common due to internal power dynamics.
It's actually interesting. Unlike what happens when several modern women gather and try to establish social order but without any mating dynamic to drive behaivor or goals.
It's a retarded question.
Who in their right mind would even answer that?
I'd be pissed at the surveyor. I'd question their ethics and morals and remind them that it's a choice to do a job, and now that they know their actions contribute to evil in the world, keeping the job is a willful act of malice.
Then I'd remind them to pray.
or even really rhythm.
I think you're describing "pop music." Which is dominated by "rap themes." I don't think you've actually listened to any actual rap music if you think this.
while the "garbage rock" guys aren't recording themselves stumbling over guitar strings because its obvious that they are failing.
You weren't around in the 90's... were you?
so when ads try to reach young men, they come off deeply inauthentic.
That's because they are inauthentic you brainwashed faggot. Literally the easiest problem to solve out of all of them. Just stop talking like fags and having your shit be all retarded.
We take for granted that young people will ALWAYS be left
"We have controlled the schools for so long without any challenge that we actually lost our core competency while holding the biggest homecourt advantage in all of human history."
Like I said, brainwashed faggots, they forgot to leave some of them with a clue so shit like this didn't happen. They all drank the Kool-Aid.
we need to have a discussion about how condescending we are coming off to a huge part of the electorate.
Again, you are condescending, because you are PIECES OF SHIT. Stop being PIECES OF SHIT.
People either listen to him or not already. No one is suddenly going to sit there and take licks from him because he has that position. It's like some people see the next Trump administration as an opportunity to play "fantasy cabinet."
It's weird and vaguely cultish because it shows a total lack of memory of Trump's last administration. A brave idea to just repeat the past mistakes all over again.
the press will be forced to listen to him,
It's a nice idea, but, no.. they lie for a living. They'll just keep doing that.
The nation will hear him slapping journos around
The powers that be really want there to be a completely divisive bubble culture to exist. This will actually just play into that. He's entirely loathed by the other side. He completely lacks the type of cross culture appeal that someone like RFK brings.
He has a bigger bully pulpit as a government official.
No offense, because I get this, but I hate this idea completely. The government should not have this pulpit. No government agent should be in a position to fuck with their own citizens even if I don't personally agree with their agenda.
Enforce laws not ideals otherwise you always lose.
What about Mimeing? The Romans were way into that.
