The idea that groups of pple are at least as wise/responsible as individuals, a hidden axiom of e.g. YC/cali(/cultural descendants of project-manhattanites), Or, e.g. 14th amendment, though its sort of a supporting villain
Edit: i really appreciate the crosscultural priffing

“天降り” (being derived from a superposition of buddhist taoist & shinto notions) has a subtext of “it’s a barbaric concept, but we are the barbarians (/semidemons) after all..”
Compare to sacred 天孫降臨
- 082349872349872 2y agoAlthough relatively far inland, 高千穂河原 would be on an island convenient to have been settled by horse-archer-ruled people coming from the eastern end of the eurasian steppe, by way of a peninsula which shall not be named here. (and far enough south to not have had to immediately impinge upon 擦文文化?) I'm not sure if the idea is that groups are as wise/responsible as individuals so much as that if one wishes to accomplish something as a group it helps greatly to have the relevant individual buy-in (in some cultures it seems to be the habit to gain consensus first, and only afterwards bring matters to an official vote). Yes, exactly that time period, but that would make you meeting the Old Physicist somewhat like the Tao/Erdős picture? (and to first-order, yes, bits-exclusive: hence why I think I'm much more likely to contribute something to my wider context by working on quantales than in expending effort in attempting to coax the primates to get along) EDIT: also late 80s/early 90s, the zine InFormation: "Every day, computers are making people easier to use." also a historical note: in 1815, my locals decided "hey, you know, Napoleon's patches were in many ways better to the Ancien Regime", so they pretty much kept the new revolutionary structures, and just replaced all the french who had been adminstering them with local boys. someday I need to figure out the latin for "Man, the rationalising"

- 082349872349872 2y ago悪い奴ほどよく眠る? Pcheval is an excellent metaphor, because the biggest problem I see beginners have is that instead of learning how horses think, they first try to hold them to the standards of human thought, and then, when that predictably fails, proceed to attempt to wrangle them as if they were horribly deficient humans: p-chevaux. [which does rhyme with feudalism as a system in which humans are wrangled as if they were domesticated herd mammals on two legs: p-zombies with honour]

I'm very sympathetic to the view that the (longue durée!) progression was eating->chariots->riding, especially as we have some evidence that for quite a while people had tried to ride horses like they already rode donkeys, back closer to the croup. (also, several generations of previous domestication probably helps a great deal to first catch whatever equid you're experimenting with riding)
- gradschoolfail 2y ago>it helps to have the relevant individual buy in How about having a single post buy-in ? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41891694 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41891694 It may be that im being hypernormal and you’re being weird here* It may be that while the half-domesticated subspecies died out, the tech that was in-bundled survived? (Or even the morphology.. cf Kiso breed, which i suspect was also rode like donkeys?) https://archive.is/B7FBn https://archive.is/B7FBn (Seems either E2L effects or the authors were trying hard to claim but not claim that they found Przewalski (note, merely nominative, not philosophical :) genetic material) *hmm, re:31-60 upvote:comment ratio hasnt burnt into my HN reflexes yet. Watching how submission time and day plays with that.. the post may draw out the partisans, but also, later into the depths of night, the loquacious but neurotic Old Guard.. Edit: u2c ratio seems to have a downweighting threshold of around 1.25 so far, not factoring in the rise speed or moderator intervention yet Edit2: MITI- cocytarchy not enough (or phronetocracy, for that matter) Edit3: top comment is already softflagging TFA as “nonsequitur/histrionic” Edit4: if the lion is an article and not a person, then nothing prevents the discourse from degenerating into a brown noise canid fight, especially if the initial article hasnt been properly formalized into code
