Yes. And if the U.S. reintroduced segregation, they'd go back to their old racial doctrine as well.

How is it that the vast majority of cosmological arguments throughout history are about divine conservation and yet almost no one discusses divine conservation but rather pictures all those arguments as talking about "the beginning of the universe"?

Because of memes, obviously

Think of "divine conservation". It doesnt make for a good meme, while "beginning of the universe" does
>>
>>597799
Because theists claim their god created the universe.
>>
>>597799
I think most people think the universe as being self conserving, that is it seems complete in itself. They think of God like a clock maker who after making and setting the clock allows it to run on its own

I believe it relates to the rise of urban cultures, coming and going the urbs grew and shrunk.

Not to say cities didn't have group identity, tutelary deities, etc.

But only within those massive population concentrations people could feel "outside" the monkey-sphere. Then, regular group dynamics, like those you may experience in small groups (your office, your clan, your tiny tribe), start to PERHAPS become something else. And even then, not usually.

The old testament plagiarized the Gilgamesh epic.
What are your thoughts on this?

Anarchist state is an oxymoron. This oxymoron isn't used except by people who don't know the first thing about anarchism. Do yourself a favor (if you really care to learn about it) and abandon this thread, and go read some anarchist writers: bakunin, kropotkin, etc. You won't get anything of value out of watching a bunch of arguing anonymous retards who also don't know shit about anarchism.

why don't you read the wiki article on it, follow some links, watch some videos, form a foundation of knowledge
THEN we can discuss the details
you are asking people to spoon feed you the summary of the situation without doing any work

good job!
