It can't even be enforced here, I went into sister ping's restaurant in NYC a few months ago and a bunch of dudes were smoking up the whole joint, they saw my white face and said in fuzhounese I was gonna call the cops then quickly snuffed the cigarettes out

I think this whole argument can be summed up with one nice historical reality. China invented gunpowder but only used it to make fireworks to scare off ghosts. Chinggis Xaan looked at it and said "Yo we can use this to blow the hell out of stuff".

turns out that having pretty much every imaginable natural resource, a genocidally-cleansed continent ready for a grassroots culture, and basically living on a geographical aircraft carrier makes you rich, powerful, and completely impregnable to attack

Invisible Handjob posted:poo poo, would have been cool. If you have any books that aren't primary sources that'd be cool too. I can read Chinese but not the crazy old stuff like would be in philosophy books And I'd make effortposts if I felt that I was up to the task really. I did decently well in his classes but I haven't kept up with developments in the field and it would get super academic and complex really quickly so I'd hesitate to bring it up even in the D&D thread, rather less here.

I think what you're saying is that never leaving your borders and out breeding everyone else means your culture is more significant. Right?

Anyway my Chinese teacher decided to phone it in last class and instead of drilling vocab he shared a bunch of poems from the Tang dynasty. I thought they were pretty cool and I look forward to exploring more of China's rich cultural heritage.

influence to breeding means you divide the influence by the breeding. Like if you have a lot of influence and a lot of breeding it's just as good as little influence and little breeding. I did not propose this system, other posters merely stated that holding up and out breeding other cultures means your impacts are less important so I am wondering then which culture's influence isn't diluted half the world worships the jewish god but only like 6 million of them are jews themselves that's p good
