I doubt them not using quasi currency

2020-04-21 20:04:27 UTC  

Like debt based one

2020-04-21 20:04:45 UTC  

I haven't heard of them doing so, except in the border regions

2020-04-21 20:04:50 UTC  

Or similiar to temple complex economies of antiquity

2020-04-21 20:04:52 UTC  

Maybe within the upper classes, too

2020-04-21 20:05:04 UTC  

Idk what other use they would have for the knots

2020-04-21 20:05:21 UTC  

Calculation and keeping statistics

2020-04-21 20:05:29 UTC  

They had a very good census system

2020-04-21 20:05:54 UTC  

Always knew which cities required how much food

2020-04-21 20:06:10 UTC  

They never suffered a famine, from what I know

2020-04-21 20:07:16 UTC  

Even though they migrated populations when they felt like it, to split up rebellious communities, for example. Yet they never fell into a Malthusian trap, which is something that tends to happen with population displacement

2020-04-21 20:07:23 UTC  

Might be because the people there didn't need to fear Stalin when reporting bad harvests

2020-04-21 20:08:04 UTC  

Yep

2020-04-21 20:08:31 UTC  

The Incas could be brutal but they really tried hard not to suffer any famine

2020-04-21 20:09:16 UTC  

They flayed enemies and one of them decreed that all children should have their skulls deformed so they'd become docile

2020-04-21 20:10:37 UTC  

It wasn't such benevolence, however. Their record keeping and statistical work just blows my mind. Imagine micromanaging an entire economy using only knots. I don't think they even had the wheel.

2020-04-21 20:14:48 UTC  

Oh, and one thing that I just found mindblowing: To build a house, they needed sand, rocks, geometry, and lots of labor. Their cities? All built using methods that are ingenious and labor-consuming, and almost without any specialized capital at all. Or any capital, really.

2020-04-21 20:34:36 UTC  

The incas are rage
brutal
without mercy
but the spaniards
they are worse
rip and tear until its done

2020-04-21 20:59:31 UTC  

I just got an online assignment in my government class to create a new political party, any ideas?

2020-04-21 21:00:37 UTC  

uh oh

2020-04-21 21:00:45 UTC  

sounds like trouble

2020-04-21 21:00:56 UTC  

I haven’t been told how much edginess I can put into it lol

2020-04-21 21:01:03 UTC  

Probably not much

2020-04-21 21:01:10 UTC  

I'm not sure how you'd go about asking that question either

2020-04-21 21:01:24 UTC  

You could be sarcastic and make it the most green quadrant party to ever green quadrant

2020-04-21 21:01:29 UTC  

I could go full communist and I wouldn’t get in trouble

2020-04-21 21:01:39 UTC  

what's the teacher like?

2020-04-21 21:01:41 UTC  

Commie party anyone?

2020-04-21 21:01:47 UTC  

Liberal teacher

2020-04-21 21:02:08 UTC  

Does this teacher foster discussion and is she interested in other viewpoints?

2020-04-21 21:02:34 UTC  

Yes but I wouldn’t imagine he’s a fan of stuff outside the current Overton window.

2020-04-21 21:02:38 UTC  

*Ehem*

2020-04-21 21:02:40 UTC  

She?

2020-04-21 21:02:49 UTC  

I made an ass out of you and me, sorry

2020-04-21 21:02:56 UTC  

Lol

2020-04-21 21:03:17 UTC  

Are they a boomer?

2020-04-21 21:03:21 UTC  

Sarcastic neocon party? Give 100% of tax revenue to Israel?

2020-04-21 21:03:24 UTC  

Yes boomer.

2020-04-21 21:03:46 UTC  

Geez if I do that sarcastic neocon stuff he’ll think I’m anti Semitic.

2020-04-21 21:04:01 UTC  

If you're a senior in high school, there's probably not much point in making him not hate you.

2020-04-21 21:04:08 UTC  

I am a senior.
