World peace does not depend on consolidation, and in fact attempts at the latter have prevented the former. Real peace would free all humans to devote creative energies toward working of real miracles. And I think that must be the highest goal of any humanist.

Then the proletariat takes over 🫡

I know that Punic culture survived Carthage. I know the Gauls survived Caesar. I just wonder what those civilizations would have done had they been able to grow in parallel paths.

As a boy I wondered what we could accomplish if the world were united, but now I know that has nothing to do with war

Of course I'm oversimplifying because Rome changed and was changed by its multiethnic existence. It was built on slavery and genocide but also developed in sophisticated ways. I don't hate Rome, not by a long shot. I like any American live in its shadow

I just think about counterfactuals a lot.

Americans think of Japanese sakoku (to the extent we think of it at all) as an ignorant blinding of the archipelago to the rest of the world

But Rome becoming absolutely preeminent and then busying itself with civil wars and managed decline is often thought of as a golden age

I'm not sure why

But Rome's innovation, while built on its interactions with other powers, did not require their destruction

Its brutality merely ensured it had nearly no peers. Commerce, competition, and exchange would have happened even without Roman expansion

It's fucking libel you goof

I won't lie, this gives me slightly more confidence in the honesty of police

That many admit it??

He combined all the things Rome hated: Judaism, Germans, and fairness

Although there's a lot of debate, most modern historians believe a man named Karl Marx did in fact live, he composed a number of political and economic tracts, and he was put to death by the Roman Empire

I mean your mind can know he's wrong all you want but when your body says he's just right, you can't fight that

Then Bryan Cranston sabotaged it when he say "Vince, I don't care what you say, I'm growing a mustache that signals to everyone that Walt is an alpha chad *who fucks*"

Yes, and he was pretty terrible, lived down to Marx's description of him; he's the farce to his uncle being tragedy!
December 7, 2025 at 6:21 PM
Oh the man had serious issues and was undone by them

Even though I think he was pretty cool he also must be seen as a betrayer of the French revolution

His nephew was worse

He also wasn't all that short
