well the modern stirrup as we know it is kinda hard to trace, since there is evidence for the "modern" saddle to be in Asia before anywhere else... probably
@Logan
but generally the stirrup first appeared widely in Europe ~700 AD
This stirrup talk makes me wonder why the Ancient Chinese were so prolific in their inventions but somehow along the way they just seem to have like, stopped? Is there any explanation for that or no?
@Trashboat They society was functioning to the degree it needed to.
To go along with the Mattis tweet
But their dynasties afterwards weren't really any worse than the ones prior were they?
I took Chinese for all 4 years of high school btw and never once thought to ask my teacher about this
China as a society is nearly an ecosystem. Rivers, Rice, Masses of people, routine mass war to reset the process
>chinese
>high school
Occasional barbarian invasion/assimilation, rinse, repeat
u wot m8
The Mongols might have had something to do with ending Chinese innovation, after they wrecked the Middle East that whole region regressed and still hasn't intellectually recovered.

Could be bullshit, but interesting take on the bowl of mud that is the "eternal" middle kingdom
Very interesting
Off topic: Any chess players? (Although, since chess - or rather, a precursor to it - originated in China 3000 years ago, not totally off topic).
I play
@Gibson and @ChippedStones do as well
I play with them some times
Do you guys have chess.com accounts? I’m always looking for a good game
And I’d rather engage with an Identitarian in any activity

@FACINEMA fun fact about that episode, those walnuts were not supposed to be 3D animated, but it was somehow sent off to be 3D animated. It was so expensive that I blew their budget for the rest of that season, and they ended up barely scraping by by reusing stills, etc.
