Better at banding people together into an identity, better at war, better at Mass governance and management

Worse at philosophy, worse at morality,

Not very good on the eros vs agape distinction tho

Which is arguably one of the reasons why the fell, and one of the reasons why modern society is following suit

Worse at technology too

Yea

A lot worse actually

They were excellent architects and builders

And good at producing solid goods

But not great at innovation

They just piggybacked off the Greeks

There is good reason though for this

They didn't have incentive

The top members of society owned masses of slaves, particularly cities used slave labor on farms to provide food for them

Innovation would make them lose those assets

So the rich wouldn't put the money into that

They actually knew about steam engines

Didn't use them cause they had slaves instead

lel

talk about lack of

foresight

Would steam engines even be possible to produce on such a scale that they could compete with slave labor at the time, though?

Idk. Probably for boats yeah

Like warboats. They were already short on people

@Quarantine_Zone yeah but the Aeolipile was treated as just a novelty

It didn't really have a practical use

Although there was a Spaniard who used the aeolipile to create a sidewheel steam engine design for ship propulsion

Yeah, I'm not sure how well known the engine was, but if they were interested in innovation, no doubt they would have looked more into such ideas. We can tell they weren't that interested in general based on their lack of large technological improvements over the course of their history, when compared to Greece.

^me tomorrow on a date with a prot girl

I need to get back into the dating game as well

I need to start dating

Been devoting myself too much to work and LC. Social life is completely non-existent at this point.
Sadly for me I dont know where art hoes graze.

I found her on Badoo, and said "hey, you don't have dead fish eyes" and apparently she found that funny

Badoo is not free tho right?

You need to cough up to message girls

What is Badoo?

I haven't managed to find out the pattern, but you can message some of them for free, and you can also activate a 3 day premium if you try to delet your account but revoke

I've thought about using some dating apps, but am damn reluctant to use them

I've been thinking about trying bumble app

That could work too, though Tinder is crap. It has bad reputation among decent girls so if they try online dating they go for alternatives.
