The Collapse of Complex Societies

Political disintegration is a persistent feature of world history. The Collapse of Complex Societies, though written by an archaeologist, will therefore strike a chord throughout the social sciences. Any explanation of societal collapse carries lessons not just for the study of ancient societies, but for the members of all such societies in both the present and future.

@Grizzlysgrowls @curmudgeonaf @appassionato @bookstodon That is more my impression of The Greeks. They were kind of "Be in our empire and we will give you olive trees" a quote from Susan's Distorted History....

One of those 'WOW!' moments. One of my haiku has just been published in the Autumn 2023 edition of 'The Wales Haiku Journal'. (cf p 53). The whole magazine can be read and downloaded for free via this link: 👇🏽

I find myself not understanding the concept of atheism. Who wants to explain it to me in a coherent way for a beginner? With a metaphysical substantiation please, if that is at all possible.

@pauld @lack @EdwardJCornwell @msteenhagen @Drew @philippsteinkrueger @spencer @cbontenbal @philosophy Because if some event that is a surprise to me occurs, or if I am totally wrong in my expectation of the outcome (what ME wrong?), then something outside of my own thought process must be. And I can attest that I personally am often surprised by reality despite my gigantic brain. 😜

@lack @EdwardJCornwell @msteenhagen @Drew @philippsteinkrueger @spencer @cbontenbal @philosophy Really? My dreams are always metaphors for my thoughts, feelings, or experiences. Although sometimes it can be quite a stretch.

@PatternChaser @lack @EdwardJCornwell @msteenhagen @Drew @philippsteinkrueger @spencer @cbontenbal @philosophy LOL yes of course perception! But still, if something I do not believe think or reason seems to occur is that not evidence that something outside my magnificent brain is creating something I am perceiving. Not perhaps as my flawed senses and magnificent brain perceive it, but still something beyond ME.

@lxvtnii I do so love being lectured by anonymous trolls who are so unimaginative they have to get their opinions from someone else!!

@lxvtnii @EdwardJCornwell @philosophy Pretentiousnous is neither next to godliness nor is it a signifier of advanced intellect.
