It got corrupted and no longer could fight the Barbarians

At some point

But when it was thriving i’d say it was good if it stayed a bit longer

I mean, it's theorized that the collapse of the Byzantines was what catalyzed the Renaissance because of the transportation of advanced scientific ideas and individual thinkers after they escaped the Seljuk invasion of Constantinople to Rome.

I once had a dream, I was fighting in the battle of Manzikert, standing on a hill and chatting with a Byzantine General, looking down at the dead bodies.

Like a year ago.

Chad dream

That seems like a chad dream

I wish i had dreams like that

So in essence, Byzantines are what ultimately catalyzed the scientific advancement of Europe.

I wonder what will society be like if the Library of Alexandria wasn’t burned down

Probably the exact same.

Whatever ideas and concepts existed within the Library of Alexandria has likely been rediscovered and remade in a much more efficient manner.

This is the oldest pseud question in the book.

It can also apply to the ancient steam engine.

Contemporary ethics and philosophical professors continuously make that mistake by hypothesizing that “outcome.” @carlton™

I know mine did when I had to take it for a core requirement.

That’s neat

@Joywolf

What’s wrong with people that spit out cereal like one minute somebody is enjoying a nice bowl of Country Nut Corn Flakes then they make a huge fucking mess that I have to clean up the greedy cunts why have you got enough does the floor need some too just stop drizzliing that milk everywhere and making the floor slippy because if a baby walks over that it could fall and hurt his self. I don’t get people that do it like it’s so unpredictable and volatile it’s a sign of disrespect to your surroundings I don’t like it one bit. I needed to buy slipper socks to traverse the city otherwise I would be unceremoniously and suddenly assaulted by the puddle of milk I have failed to see. This is a plea for this to stop happening. Everyone please stop. It’s not healthy for anyone, least of all the babies traversing the open world

The hell is this.
