      also: being an asshole isn't inheritable let alone genetic. there is no "asshole gene" that they're willingly passing on or anything.
      the reason people are abusive for example does not (contrary to popular belief) seem to correlate with having abusive parents. (idk about the source for that but i saw it in a book called "why does he do that?" in case you want to look for it. ik it's not enough but hey). though that connection does grow far stronger in the cases of particularly violent offenders.
      whereas stefan seems to think that if every woman married a "nice guy" that abuse would disappear.

      And plenty of people who were raised by assholes grow up to be good people, and vice versa.

      He also never provides any examples of what a non asshole partner would be like which tells me he doesn't know, or does know but knows he isn't that example so he doesn't bring it up.

    (1) A work of pop history written by an early-twentieth-century British general, which Stefan shamelessly plagiarised;
    (2) An audiobook by a libertarian crank, which Stefan shamelessly plagiarised;
    (3) A (probably) legitimate academic article, which Stefan selectively quoted and misunderstood; and
    (4) Ancient Roman writers grumbling about "kids these days" as old people have done throughout human history.

      @@thrawnprotocol9780 True.
      But sometimes I'm wondering if race and religion are kind of all mixed together in this issue, meaning what people are actually opposing is not some religion, it's more that that religion is foreign to them.
      Like there are many people who can go on an endless rant how Christianity is somehow superior to Islam, totally disregarding the horrible Christian ideologies or what's written in the bible.
      More importantly: People who want to exclude Muslims totally ignore that Muslims are themselves actually hurt by this religion and by other Muslims.
      So they might say "Islam is bad because.... FGM" but what they won't say is "Let's make sure girls are being saved from FGM, for example by taking in Muslim immigrants who want to leave that society".
      So it seems they are against the people who want to flee because of their race, because even when Muslims oppose harmful ideas in Islam and are themselves harmed by them (more than any non muslim), there are still people who want to deny those Muslims refuge or immigration.
      That's why I inferred that at least sometimes racism is just hiding behind being against Islam, especially if the criticizing party is religious themselves.
      It's like people are using the "look, how bad Islam is, it's harming people and it's evil!" - argument and are just using the Muslim victims of religious fundamentalism to justify their bigotry, without wanting to help them.
      And why? Maybe because they're just racist. They can't be genuinely concerned about the harm an ideology does and at the same time deny the victims of that ideology any help.
      I'm an atheist by the way.
      I hope my answer made sense. I'm not an expert and race seems more like an arbitrary construct to me.
      Believe it or not, I'm German and in Germany, we don't really use the word "race" anymore (at least normal people don't...). We talk more about culture or country of origin when we're discussing such topics.

    10:30 on, Shaun you miss a really golden opportunity here. Most of the urban poor in Rome actually HAD jobs- they worked in cottage industries, manufacturies for the Army (making shields, armour, weapons- typically on an industrial scsle), in the ports, as sailors, as chefs for the rich, cleaning and maintaining infrastructure, as watchmen keeping the streets safe, in early factories (such as in the perfume industry of the Late Empire- which started to approach industrial scale and, a long with early machinery, might have led to an Industrial Revolution if the Western Empire had lasted a few centuries longer) etc. In short, they were NOT unemployed- but simply didn't make enough money in their jobs to make ends meet- partly due to the rich extracting heavy rents from them and the workshops they worked for, partly due to the relative lack of technological sophistication of Roman industry compared to today (although it was far more advanced than most of the world for centuries to come). In short, these were mostly WORKING POOR, not unemployed- although much like today, Roman writers choose to focus most on the unemployed...

A worker's value (the value of what they produce) doesn't become less just because, through inequalities of social and economic power, they are paid less. Rome had a massive class or impoverished urban menial laborers who kept the workshops and proto-factories of the city running.

It was a thing to own slaves and give them money for their work anyway, depending on the type of work they did. Slave miners or debt slaves weren't, for example, because of the cause of their enslavement (for slave miners, mostly condemnation for a crime ; for debt slaves, well it's self-explanatory, you are in debt and temporarily* become a slave to compensate)

Lead was more widely used in makeup and actually took a little while to poison people. I don't know if they ever changed their makeup material they used over time or not.
      The major competing theories (by this I mean, Adrian Goldsworthy and Peter Heather) are Infighting, non-romans getting gud + being pushed inward by the Huns, fighting against the barbs who had already been settled in Rome. Though this is not an either or situation, just different historians putting emphasis on different things while accepting its a mixture of everything. Recent research/theorising has centred around how the climate and weather may have forced The Huns to migrate west and thus displacing the non-romans who had to invade/settle in Rome to survive.
      But my most favourite quote about this debate comes from Goldsworthy. "Not only are the causes of Rome’s fall disputed, but also how long the process took. Some, like Gibbon, see the roots deep in the earlier history of the empire, which produced a slow decline over several centuries. Others suggest a shorter time span, although virtually no one has argued that it took less than a few generations. Debate continues to rage, each age answering the question according to its own obsessions and prejudices. The fall of the Roman Empire remains one of the great mysteries of history."

    i want to know the name of the lady in Stefan's head. the one who he just can't stop thinking about, the one who rejected him and he never recovered from it. what's her husband's name? the one she married, who makes her happy. she hardly ever thinks of Stefan anymore, these days.
    i'm reminded of a Zen koan:
    two monks are walking along the road when they come to a river that crosses the road. the bridge is out, and there's a lady standing there, wanting to cross the river but unable to. the first monk hesitates, because monks of his country aren't allowed to touch women at all. the second monk, however, moved by compassion for the lady, just bodily picks her up and carries her across the river, fording it with his strength.
    when they reach the other side, he sets her down and she thanks him, despite the awkwardness of being carried, it was a nice gesture. the monks move on, and the first monk (who held back from helping her) can't contain himself any longer. he cries out at the first monk, "why did you carry her across the river? you KNOW we're not allowed to touch women. you're going to get in trouble!" and the first monk just looks over at his friend and he's like, "oh, i left her at the river. looks like it's you who's still carrying her."
    set the lady down, Stefan. it's time.

      The woman is his mother. He went on a few rants about her as well. Most famous one when he said the only reason she was not dead(did not kill her) is because she is his mother and nothing more. Said she was abusive to him and his siblings growing up. And his father left them all.

      Well... he looks to be in his forties. When there is a divorce, courts give the women the children because men can't look after children. They are supposed to make money so that the mother can care for the children. It's possible that the courts gave her custody, and she abused her children. As long as the kids don't need medical attention, the abuse is shrugged off.
      This is why we need feminism... so that men, and the courts, see themselves as viable nurturing parents.

      What term would you prefer? "Dating marketplace?" It's a legitimate concept.

    1. Roman Empire is thriving
    2. Roman Empire adopts Christianity as an official religion
    3. Roman Empire collapses.
