Why do some people live like there's no tomorrow? Shouldn't you strive to be the kind of ancestor your community will be proud of in 50, 100, or 500 years? Humans clearly have the capacity for long-term thinking, how do we reorient our society for epic planning?
"We creatures are adrift. Launched upon the tides of history, we have to cling to things, hoping that the friction of our contact will somehow suffice to countervail the currents that would otherwise sweep us to oblivion."

Enculturation is a fundamental concept in sociology and anthropology, referring to the process through which individuals learn and adopt the values, beliefs, norms, customs, and behaviors of their culture. This process is crucial for the continuity and survival of any society, as it ensures that cultural knowledge is passed from one generation to the next.
The Ancestors of Today’s Poles with the Haplogroup R1a
“Genetic studies proved the autochthonic theory of Polish origin to be true at least as by the 2nd century BCE or possibly about 2000 BCE. The Polish nobility’s myth was its Sarmatian origin, a myth that proved to be true partially culturally and partially genetically. The Scythian and Slavic peoples grow out of the same Indo-European genetic trunk, or
rather, they are branches of the same thicker limb.”

In this newly published study of Norwegian officers, Sine Vorland Holen shows how soldiers in the chaos of conflict must swiftly categorize violence in order to craft justifiable responses.
Soldiers classify violence as either war, crime, or cultural practice and invoke distinct logics to navigate these. These insights enrich our understanding of military decision-making.

Read #QuinnNorton about #whiteness:
"The great thing about the divide-and-conquer of creating white-skin #privilege is that you don’t have to give people thusly bought off anything more, and American power structures didn’t. In places with black #slavery, the whites suffered terribly.
"There is a simple truth to American history for the majority of people who have ever been American: the worse the black experience, the worse everyone else’s experience, including whites. Driving down (or eliminating) black #wages, while always agreeable to whites, drove white pay lower than their European counterparts for most of our history."
"It is to the political benefit of the existing system to keep whites, especially poor whites with little more than their whiteness to be proud of. It makes for a predictable political group. Whites thus managed will vote and flock to issues as reliably as tides."
