very, imagine the restraint of having that power, and not completly rofl-stomping everything you see..... sounds silly considering their expansion, but with that much power equivalency they could have literally ruled the world
Sorry i forgot to add Dutch to my coment above
Those were the days when concepts like honour and loyalty mattered a lot more it seems. Even the financially self-interested appeared to have some kind of respect for their nation of birth.
i know I would probably be dead already at my age, but God I sometimes wish for those kinds of days
maybe not the TB and scurvy, but the self respect and honour aspect
imagine having pride in your country and nation? imagine being able to show it without being ostracised and removed from society?
Pepperidge Farm remembers.....
Hahaha. There was certainly an investment in the symbolic and abstract with regards to life and nationhood. Beyond mere individualistic materialism.

ummmm, ok
Little need to fear death back then either. Lower life expectancy was absolute but a great deal of the reduction is due to higher infant mortality. Survive your first ten years and you could easily clear another fifty or sixty.
Outside external circumstances.
I suppose the higher religious fanatacism meant you would be more accepting of mortality as well
That's true. When death was more probable, people seemed far more ready to deal with the concept.
There's a nursery rhyme about dying to the plague.
Outside of blasphemy I doubt the people of the past really had a concept of offensive humour.
Death was something to make songs about for children to sing.
Can you imagine trying to write and make popular a children's song about dying of cancer today?
the normative value of the system saying 1/8th is "ok" the sure that can be morally ambiguous but saying its arbitrary is just a cop-out
@fvriovs ......... well some of us do, but i tend to tell my kids to keep those jokes to themselves 😄

Great, more charts where we dont exist......

The chart deals with genetics however, not nationality. Where you are on that chart depends on your genetic admixture.
