That’s not a citation. And given your thesis is a sprawling abstract claim, it really needs some real citations.
- ALittleLight 7y agoIt needs some citations if it were an academic reference perhaps. As a response to a comment that is speculating without evidence on the similarity between on our culture and a nailed from, it seems sufficient. The likelihood for an individual to die by violence has been much greater for most of human history and prosperity and peace typically go hand in hand. I could provide references for these claims, but I think they are well known and references for the counter claim haven't been provided.
- erikpukinskis 7y agoIt’s just totally ascientific thinking. You’re connecting things with no evidence of connection. And evidence aside, your analysis is so coarse it’s basically impossible it could be true. Nothing that coarse is true. And one last point: I have no doubt your head is filled with examples from history that back up your claim. What you almost certainly don’t have is evidence that there isn’t an equal raft of examples that contradict it.
