Oh interesting, I haven’t heard of that. I’ll have too look into it, thanks!

I mean, everything in life requires cooperation, but that’s not the point. Rice took twice as many labor hours as wheat and required more irrigation. According to Shenshi Nongshu, “if one is short of labor, it is best to grow wheat”. Also studies have shown that in China people in historically rice farming areas behave more collectively than those in wheat regions. Not all grasses behave the same way and need the same things, especially with how much we’ve bred them to our needs.

There’s an interesting hypothesis called the Rice Hypothesis that theorizes that the different styles of farming rice vs wheat shaped our societies in ways that are still prevalent today. Farming rice led to strong collectivism in society, while farming wheat led to strong individualism in society. Perhaps this is what has led to our differences in ideologies and governing systems.

Cool thanks for the explanation

Okay wtf is going on with all the corn memes?

Yeah I came to terms with that years ago, unfortunately addiction is a crafty bitch. Congrats on you for kicking the habit 💪

Weed. I kicked weed about 6 years ago and alcohol about 2, but relapsed recently and can’t seem to stop. It’s driving me insane, and my mental health is in the gutter. Hoping I can quit again before the new year.

It just seems odd to me that you wouldn’t just skip over it, especially since you’re still allowed to read everything just not comment. Just seems strange to me to limit yourself without need.

So you blocked it? Lol seems strange

I appreciate your point of view, as someone who saw it at a younger age, I’m sure I have some nostalgic bias’s

You should watch it, it’s fantastic

It’s hard for me to remember all of the different formulas and remembering when to use what.

Very common in the trades, or at least with everyone I worked with, we’d have periods where we had a shutdown usually lasting 2weeks but upto 3 months. We’d work 12-16 hour days 7 days a week (sometimes taking the 14th day off, sometimes not). A lot of my coworkers would go tax exempt during these shutdowns then switch back to normal afterwards.
