> You keep comparing the colosseum killings to events that transpired over large geographical areas, for different purposes than entertainment. I see, so enslaving, torturing, rapi…

It's an example to dispute the false claim that 10 years is little time for a technology to mature. If 10 years are enough for hardware let alone software. Another example are soci…

The same goes for blockchain if you want go to that extend. Blockchain is a concept of 1982. Nakamoto stated to work on the code for bitcoin in 2007 and released in 2009. > Cryptog…

Agreed, but unfortunately is the sad reality. And social media didn't help either my friend

You tend to realize this after you've done this experiences. If you don't, you'd miss out something and somehow you will get it back later. I know of people who got married before …

Indeed. The tech is not scalable and in 10 years very little has been done to make the decentralized dream come true

None of this is widely used. The only widely used purpose of blockchain is trading. > But 10 years is a short time span. Internet took more time than that to mature. 10 years in te…

> Guo joined a small but visible handful of Chinese urban professionals who are rattling the ruling Communist Party by rejecting grueling careers for a “low-desire life.” What this…

The Colosseum was active for 400 years, you consider that a relatively short period of time? In total they estimated that 400.000 people died in there, in 400 years! That's 1.000 p…

Reminds me of The Late Mattia Pascal romance

It's just a useless observation. Same as being an alien approaching our planet and saying "oh.... Look at this planet. Over the years billions of people must have died". Well, whil…

> So just because it is a long time ago, it is not allowed to be in awe of the staggering amount of deaths that occurred in one single location? You can from your individual point …

I just said it multiple times just go and look at my replies. Is not required to have an opinion on past events based on nowadays standards. Historian do that all the time, they lo…

This comment is so weak. Human life cannot be counted in percentage as every life matter. I'm surprised that doesn't even have down votes.

> The point that zzzpaz appears to make is that we should be ambiguous to anything that happened in the past, because at the time those things were commonplace. Please don't put wo…

You draw the line the same way history draws it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_time_periods We're in the contemporary era and things that happened in the Nazi time are st…

I'm here to show how empty these arguments are as compared as what happened next in history or even on how we treat people in some war zone nowadays So said, is not that hard to un…

It's not necessary to drag USA, but it's just an example of how stupid these arguments are. Historical facts needs to be analysed with the lens of what was considered normal at tha…

One point is to look at the far last (2 thousands years ago) and one point is to see the recent and contemporary history. We have countries like the US that have been bullying and …

Yes is still alive in many places US included. But this comment is just stupid, everybody knows what happened in the colosseum so does everybody knows that major civilizations were…

So we should glorify a place like United States of America which was built on top of one of the worst genocide of the history? Where slavery was the norm till 1863 and since the en…

Same millions of lives were lost to accomodate the current United States of America. Perhaps we should avoid looking at historical events with the current judgement and ideology. I…

That's your point, my point is the one of the comment. And I guess the government didn't give the PC to everyone because "oh we need to stop our Bill Gates to run out of the countr…

That their family would use it for daily needs instead of a computer. Poor people can't think in long terms as they're struggling with their daily needs thus it makes sense for the…

What's the point? Indeed that's your attitude and is ok. At my age when I was in school the whole class had a computer (like 25 of us). Today of that class only 3 work using comput…
