It's also an unbroken litany of love and devotion?

"Unbroken" is problematic, there have certainly been fits and starts, periods of very little development, dark ages, etc.

Portraying it as a single continuous litany without any breaks is just not accurate, imo.

It is a 4-panel comic depicting a 3d face scoffing at the cartoon man for his lack of ironic depth. The 3d face shows off his impressive level of irony.

To be honest family this is a good framework to build a naturalistic historical narrative.
Lots of history focuses only on kings and gods and revolutions and ignores the daily toil and domestic habits of common folk.

Life is also an endless cycle of eating and shitting.

it's weird to think that most people haven't watched another person die, but thousands of people have died in a single day in one location during a lot of historical events

I think that poster was referring to the Milgram obedience experiments. Many when they learn of these, repeatable across all cultures, lose some measure of faith in humanity.

Do you live in Subsaharian Africa, OP?

>>725802
there are long periods of history in europe, china, and japan without endemic warfare

in fact, among the allemani, wars of succession were generally confined to the nobility and their families. they had contract law before written laws were institutionally formalized.

the majority of china was untouched by large scale warfare, they just kept farming and ignored the wars, which is why they would generally accept whatever new dynasty installed itself as the rulers of the midle kingdom. they were uninvolved, why would they care?

not all of humanity is like the middle east and africa.
