victoria paved the way for all the rockstar engineers that gave us the modern world

Jared Diamond, in the 2003 Afterword to his book Guns, Germs, and Steel (page 432) gives the best argument for Brexit: https://prnt.sc/ququa4

2020-01-29 21:08:58 UTC  

Matt Ridley too talks about this extensively in The Rational Optimist

2020-01-29 21:11:45 UTC  

I really need to read that book.

2020-01-29 21:12:03 UTC  

Guns, Germs and Steel, that is.

2020-01-29 21:12:09 UTC  

read both

2020-01-29 21:12:12 UTC  

both excellent books

2020-01-29 21:12:31 UTC  

even if you don't read the whole G,G,&S, you should definitely read the Epilogue and Afterword.

2020-01-29 21:12:58 UTC  

Oh no, if I pick up a book, I read the whole thing.

2020-01-29 21:14:44 UTC  

I'd really love to hear Sargon address this page I posted above. If there a way I can bring it to his attention?

2020-01-29 21:15:14 UTC  

pretty much no

2020-01-29 21:15:19 UTC  

😛

2020-01-29 21:15:21 UTC  

You could ping him

2020-01-29 21:15:35 UTC  

I'll do it.

2020-01-29 21:15:39 UTC  

probably won't get a response though

2020-01-29 21:17:26 UTC  

this is right up his alley

2020-01-29 21:17:37 UTC  

And he's addressed Diamond in a previous video

2020-01-29 21:35:08 UTC  

In the Epilogue, he also discusses why China didn't compete with Europe:

2020-01-29 21:37:19 UTC  
2020-01-29 21:38:12 UTC  
2020-01-29 21:39:00 UTC  
2020-01-29 21:39:34 UTC  
2020-01-29 21:40:07 UTC  
2020-01-29 21:45:50 UTC  

all well and good, but does it blend?

2020-01-29 22:01:29 UTC  

what did he do?

2020-01-29 22:02:56 UTC  

just looked it up

2020-01-29 22:02:59 UTC  

is that fucking all?

2020-01-29 22:03:56 UTC  

Beware the weapon you forge today, for it will be used against you tomorrow.

2020-01-29 22:33:34 UTC  

Imagine thinking Sargon pays any attention to you plebs

2020-01-29 22:33:52 UTC  

He just sees you as a potential mindless pound sign

2020-01-29 22:34:23 UTC  

I mean £50 a month is a tad excessive

2020-01-29 22:35:00 UTC  

£1 is excessive to pay to a fat uneducated boomer / failed politician to make unedited videos where he reads out daily mail articles

2020-01-29 22:35:13 UTC  

I've met him in person and I made a suggestion to him that he brought up in a UKIP meeting.

2020-01-29 22:35:29 UTC  

@PureEvilPie Why are you here then?

2020-01-29 22:35:34 UTC  

To mock

2020-01-29 22:35:39 UTC  

ehh I can understand giving a few pounds to a youtuber you like

2020-01-29 22:35:39 UTC  

Thought that was obvious lmao
