meaning was generated for you by evolution in the form of pain and pleasure, humans can also generate meaning by inventing values and principles out of thin air

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.

Who's the worst Roman Emperor and why is it this guy?
15 posts and 5 images submitted.

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.

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.

How did the Ten Thousand even manage their journey? I'm no greekaboo but it seems like something out of a movie.

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 persist. It's not worth sending tens of thousands of your own men to fight and possibly die just to kill people who aren't giving you much trouble anyway.

Then all they had to contend with were some militarily unsophisticated tribal peoples.
