I think any flavor of anarchism or hardcore libertarianism would, in practice, quickly become either robocop corporatist hellworld or fascism hellworld or local warlords hellworld.

 It's from a bonkers anthropology paper that tries to argue that warm climate = high degree of promiscuity = lots of nasal vowels in your languages (because according to the authors being sexually active means opening your mouth more, I poo poo you not) This is the worst scatter plot I've ever seen:  Check out the wildly unequal distribution of languages (30 warm-climate languages vs only three cold-climate ones) they decided to look at, and even then all they managed to come up with was a basically random pattern  The worst part? The paper was subjected to peer review and still got published in a highly distinguished journal, probably because the main author is a big name in cultural anthropology and apparently has reached the point where he can poo poo out whatever he wants to and it still gets published.

Boiled Water posted:Warlords are kinda feudal lords but we’ve had less time to romanticize them. Na feudalism is more when warlords have so much land that they realise they need to subcontract parts of it other sub-warlords. Then they realise they need some sort of rules to stop those sub-warlords from just taking everything by force the way they did. Slapping a thin coat of legidimacy and stability onto a house built out of violent conquest and anarchy.

Seeing the side-view of that house I'd almost think they'd use cubic feet/house volume or something but I don't think so.

They did it like 2500 ft squared vs 500ft squared. So 2500x2500 / 500x500 = 25 500sqft houses fit into a 2500sqft house. You know instead of the obvious 5. Someone made this whole graphic and didn't stop and go "hey this doesn't sound right..." What is the source? It has to be fake, right? E: god it's even worse since you can see the bar graph at the top clearly shows the 2500sqft house being 5x bigger than the 500sqft. itskage has a new favorite as of 11:22 on Nov 22, 2018 |

cinci zoo sniper posted:Wait what? The ratios printed on the chart are the ratios of the squares of the numbers. What would you read the columns for Hong Kong and Australia as? Five hundred and 2300 square feet? 2300² ÷ 500² = 21.16, pretty close to the figure they give (22.6×). It’s like they imagine the floor plan of a house in Hong Kong as being a square with 500 feet on a side. The other wall is not one foot long but five hundred, which, for the record would be a quarter of a million actual square feet in non‐  arithmetic and overstating the size of the house by a factor of five hundred.

About 3.5 km tall structure should be enough if we used one quarter of Vatican's area for the footprint (Vatican seems to have enough gardens for this, you can always bulldoze a couple of medieval buildings if need be).

That Vatican calculation is probably correct if you go by how many of our houses have burnt down on the same lot on the family farm in Victoria over the years. Edit: also that one time one of them got flooded, partially sank, and then slid down a hill.
