  • Natural Level of Predation of Pastoralists

    October 14th, 2018 2:42 AM NATURAL LEVEL OF PREDATION OF PASTORALISTS (like I said)

    —“Whole German tribes, like the Cimbri, might coordinate for a singular migration for new territory, but for the exclusive pastoralist, their whole existence was migration. Groups such as the Goths and Vandals might settle down, and become primary producers again, but pure pastoralists probably required some natural level of predation and extortion upon settled peoples to obtain a lifestyle beyond marginal subsistence. Which is to say that some of the characterizations of Late Antique barbarians as ad hoc configurations might apply more to steppe hordes.”—

  • Indian Diffusion in to SE Asia

    October 14th, 2018 2:37 AM

    —–The history of Southeast Asia, or perhaps more accurately the quasi-history of Southeast Asia since so many of the records are from China and elsewhere, indicates strong Indian influence in the period before 1000 AD. The standard model is that this is cultural diffusion. And by and large Southeast Asian peoples are are mostly indigenous. But, a non-trivial minority of their ancestry is recent, but pre-colonial, gene flow from the Indian subcontinent. Additionally, the imprint is easier to see in the Y chromosome than the mtDNA. The legends of marriages between Indian Brahmins and native princesses in places like Cambodia probably do reflect something real in the dynamics of the early Indianization.—

    —“I rescued myself from egalitarianism by thinking in OO and really got hooked on your posts bc you where “light years” ahead in the direction I was already independently going. I started telling women who were open that equality is just a feeling… and they agreed.”— Brendan Hegarty

It was different compared to all the other episodes.Oct 14, 2018, 7:33 PMZachary BertHey Curt. You’re an author. I got a question.

    Is it unreasonable for fans to bitch to authors when authors repeatedly break deadlines?

    There’s two award winning fiction series, one, The Name of The Wind by Pat Rothfuss, and the other, The Lies Of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch.

    These books are fictional masterpieces. They had the first piece, the sequel…

    And now it’s been 4 years and we as fans are still fucking waiting, and still getting zero answers.

    Is this me being petulant? Or do authors have some level of job responsibility to actually fuckin write and finish what they start?

    Do authors approach the finish line and just fuckin choke? Do they get afraid they won’t be able to write a satisfactory conclusion?Oct 14, 2018, 10:05 PMJon JonathanWe hope the left makes it that easy for usOct 15, 2018, 4:34 AMJames Calvin BrittinghamThe second part of the Captain Pike episode was the first Star Trek program that I saw.
