not in the US - there are seasons here. american indians did prepare

2017-01-11 19:37:18 UTC  

There /was/ civilization among Native Americans

2017-01-11 19:37:22 UTC  

Didn't they mostly live in the desert and jungles?

2017-01-11 19:37:33 UTC  

Look at the Meso-Americans...

2017-01-11 19:37:54 UTC  

The Aztecs, Inca, and Mayans

2017-01-11 19:38:04 UTC  

true

2017-01-11 19:38:05 UTC  

@TheSlavPill Native Indians, yes.

2017-01-11 19:38:16 UTC  

their advancement was hindered by the jungle

2017-01-11 19:38:31 UTC  

why invent the wheel if you can't drive it anywhere

2017-01-11 19:38:38 UTC  

Then you have the 'Mound Builders' that had a city along the Mississippi.

2017-01-11 19:38:51 UTC  

Then that vanished before Europeans arrived.

2017-01-11 19:39:12 UTC  

most natives died even before whitey came there

2017-01-11 19:39:21 UTC  

true

2017-01-11 19:39:37 UTC  

they had huge wars and they actually caused a mini ice age with the amount of trees they cut

2017-01-11 19:39:57 UTC  

Uhhh...

2017-01-11 19:40:07 UTC  

a plague wiped most of them out even before blankets

2017-01-11 19:40:10 UTC  

But it still begs the question what is it unique to western culture, scientific, math, technology that propelled forward

2017-01-11 19:40:58 UTC  

White people won a lot of lotteries so to speak

2017-01-11 19:41:06 UTC  

evolutionary one, and later technological

2017-01-11 19:41:14 UTC  

gunpowder came from china, but when it came to us

2017-01-11 19:41:16 UTC  

we perfected it

2017-01-11 19:41:33 UTC  

because we were competitive

2017-01-11 19:41:40 UTC  

i mean europe wasn't really united then

2017-01-11 19:41:44 UTC  

constant wars

2017-01-11 19:41:52 UTC  

the need to get a technological edge

2017-01-11 19:41:57 UTC  

allowed us to perfect guns

2017-01-11 19:42:04 UTC  

and then put them on boats etc

2017-01-11 19:42:06 UTC  

conquer the world

2017-01-11 19:42:22 UTC  

yes yes and Mezos had their own wars and perfection of weapons...

2017-01-11 19:42:27 UTC  

so........

2017-01-11 19:42:32 UTC  

I mean britain conquered china just by sailing a boat through a river

2017-01-11 19:42:37 UTC  

no one had ship cannons then

2017-01-11 19:43:00 UTC  

well no silk road linked china to the americas

2017-01-11 19:43:09 UTC  

- -

2017-01-11 19:43:12 UTC  

They had Ship Cannons

2017-01-11 19:43:17 UTC  

so to logical conclusion, using weapon metaphor, we should jsut bomb the shit out the ME and Africa

2017-01-11 19:43:20 UTC  

The Chinese did have Cannons... and Junk Ships..

You know, I have always questioned decisions based on the heart rather than based on long-term logic.

When you have one society conquer another you have two choices, integration or destruction/driveing them off

2017-01-11 19:44:36 UTC  

if they did it was utter shit
