@Virgil For example, unlike his inventions, the mathematical writings of Archimedes were little known in antiquity.
The natives attacked first
Nords had the Thuum though so how come they didn't?
If Beavers had guns water would not flow
Y'know, it's the end of this Saturday night, but it's so comforting to know that I can talk to people who are on my side any time. Wuh-we're not alone.
how come they didn't just shout the beothuk back
@Virgil Are we then going to discount his mathematical discoveries due to the lack of mathematical interest amongst most common Europeans?
at the time
@Deleted User Amen
@Selma this place has kept me from going insane for quite some time
@Jacob Do you think you will move back to the motherland someday?
@ophiuchus Real questions right here
I want to, yes @Zilna Jestov
@ophiuchus - Exactly. I used to feel quite isolated with my opinions and my knowledge of this clown culture.
it's nice just knowing there's a place I can chill and be around my people
@Virgil The first comprehensive compilation of his writings were not made until nearly 700 years after his death.
@Jacob Good luck, whatever you decide.
thanks
the sense of belonging that was common to every human being in the world until this last century being taken away is an extremely large contributing factor to the mental illness and loneliness afflicting everyone imo
I want to move to Poland and help the movement from there. Don't worry, I'll still send money to IE. I'll even come do activism if I'm still allowed to.
Definitely. In more tribal places with extended families, there are almost no reports of depression. I forget where I read this.
@ophiuchus This is actually a relevant point.
There actually was an IE member who did what I just described
@Rabbidsith Not temporarily forgotten, never known and no impact. Let's agree to disagree here, we're not going to convince eachother at this point
Actually, there's two IE members who moved back to Poland that I can think of
It's weirdly common
@Virgil Never known? Bullshit. Then how do I know of him?
Both I met through my state chapter
So I wouldn't be surprised if there's more
@Virgil That's absolutely hilarious. He was temporarily forgotten.
Both of them were second generation Polish and moved back
It makes me sad to think of good Americans leaving.
@Virgil Same as archimedes for most of Europe.
do you speak polish @Jacob
@Selma I get that. It makes me sad to think of people who Eastern Europe needs leaving. I don't consider my family's history something to brag about, I think it's sad.
@Natasha - PA Yes. And Russian kind of
dope
Slavic languages are really hard
@Virgil The works of leif erikson gives us valuable insight into both the character of our people and how early norse colonies functioned.
Oh, it is completely understandable what motive you'd have to move there; no judgement there. It's just a bit poignant to me.
