How can an individual be sure he is following the true path?

Has the amount of premature balding (20-30 year olds) increased recently? Balding has always been a thing but it seems like I see more young men struggling with hairloss than generations ago.

Early research says yes. Caused by stress mostly.

Who's the worst Roman Emperor and why is it this guy?
Elagabalus
- Dressed as a woman and tried to prostitute himself out in the courts
- Often found talking to himself and inanimate objects
- Stone a idol [an irregular rock] from a neighboring civilization, placed it on a chariot, declared it god, and then declared he and the rock were both the same god
- Murdered people
- Raped people [including children]
While other Roman rulers were psychopaths and narcissists, Elagabalus was that and a bad full of nuts.
He was murdered not in the name of power seeking but because everyone hated him.

OP said the worst, not the best

He was just a kid who liked to party, and half the shit was made up by his enemies
Did the majority of people through out history really never go beyond 10 km of their home town/village in their life or is this just a name? I kind of find it hard to believe given how much trade took place in the ancient world.
>>1085429
The majority of humans who have ever lived were nomadic, so no
>>1085432
More human are alive today than have ever existed before 1900 AD.

"History" implies recorded history so hunter gatherer ooga boogas days obviously don't count fag
why is the caucausus among the most culturally diverse places in the world?
>>1085292
Its not nearly as diverse as sub-saharan africa

>According to Steven Pinker the assembled people "shrieked with laughter as the animals, howling with pain, were singed, roasted, and finally carbonized."
I guess you could say that's pretty...
Ass.
(Seriously, that's incredibly fucked up. The French are fucking subhuman.)

How did the Ten Thousand even manage their journey? I'm no greekaboo but it seems like something out of a movie.
>>1084742
Persians could not counter Greek infantry.
All of 3? victories before this point. The 10,000 wrecked Persian shit all the way home.
>>1084742
Not much reason for the Persians to fight them. They weren't an invading, conquering force; they were just trying to get home.
Granted, shit happened. Betrayals, assassinations, raids... But that's more or less par for the course of ancient history. 10,000 is actually a lot of people. 10,000 heavily armed, experienced, skilled soldiers moving through the countryside isn't anything to sneeze at.
I think once the Persians realized they weren't much of a threat anymore, they didn't...
