Anyone else feel somewhat uneased when reading school history books?
| Instead, today's history focuses a lot more on Industrial Era and everything after that. It's really off-putting, because it feels like the editors are intentionally trying to make us forget about three thousand years worth of history, make us think it doesn't matter, just because we didn't have manufactures and machines back then. I know making us forget what magick is capable of is a lesser evil, but this is overboard.
| Anyone else feel this way? It'd mean a lot to me for someone to be honest here, even if it is just a dry, untouchable text message posted on a deadbeat website.

Pls girl
What primary and secondary schools teach tends to be pretty terribly limited. Sure, humanity will always be better off knowing about eg. ancient Roman society than not, but post-industrial history matters more to our day-to-day lives in society; it functions as a vital liberal art that informs a lot of how we might participate in politics and society in an age of bombs and Kalashnikovs. The Industrial Rev. changed so much that older stuff is less relevant
| We only learn how to react to the signs of modern jingoism, totalitarianism, and the consequences of power structures in modern society by looking at relatively modern history, basically. The other useful pre-industrial liberal arts are snuck in via math and philosophy education (the latter should be more common imo)
Also what was that about magick??

I'm gonna level with ya, I have no idea what the hell an "industrial revolution" or a "Roman society" was, or what kind of bomb a Kalashnikov was.
But then, who knows what kind of history people on this backwater world had anyway. Half the people I've met so far have never heard of the Protectorate, and some didn't even realize there were other planets out there.
I don't blame them- seems like the only technologically relevant thing you got here are lilims...
| ...which, heh, is kind of funny, because AI research is banned everywhere else in the galaxy.
Well, everywhere else except here, apparently.

| >>399957 so apparently someone made a bomb that shoots slug rifles, is the short of it. Why exactly that was what they shoved into that shit is way beyond me
And don't worry too much about Rome, it's some stupid antique shit. There's some books of aphorisms you can find if you really, really dig deep in the Archives and you know what you're looking for. But it's irrelavent, only useful for the slash fiction
| >>399963
A bomb that shoots rifles...?
...
...
... chummer I think you just gave me a business opportunity.

| Ah~ ancient history, my favorite topic!
I found a box of old blue rays a while ago, can you believe it!? a relic from such a lost time...
| >>399965 may I humbly suggest that if you need to test one of those you should huck it at that abandoned megatower? Ffs someone kill that thing
| >>399970
You mean the one even the corpers have been avoiding lately on account of all kinds of creepy crawlies and a spider with human limbs?
Yeah sure, if I can make a catapult large enough to lob it over and such. I ain't paying for a plane or a driver to deliver anything to that drek.
-Mister Hatch
| Alright, well all of that Roman stuff aside, anyone know if the other adapted races have a different curriculum?
| >>399986
Go find a refugee.
Ask them what they know about the last... say... 200 years.
They'll say that they don't know about anything past "The Purge."
Then ask them what year it is.
Some creepypasta drek.
| >>399992 Which one of the 15 The Purges?
I don't think you need a purge refugee lol, all you need to do is either be a high ranking security consultant to access the REAL World Net since we isolated ourselves from basically all other cultures, or drive your way to, say, an elfie city and enter through the gates.. by.. being a Diplomat.. Fuck I'm never gonna get to the truth am I
| >>399996 Bruh you gotta dig deeper. Ways around excess bureaucratic shit are just sitting around getting reposted and snuck into useless documents on the Archive. Lurk new and I'm sure you'll find hot tips. Buyer beware ofc, stay away from anything that involves resources from Hong Kong and don't open the fucking attachments
| >>399996
The truth is overrated anyway.
I say we deny reality and substitute it with our own.
I have a simsense recording or three that can help with that...
-Mister Hatch
| I'm not really into truths about society and quinties and all, I already know it's all fucked, and getting the details on that is the same thing as reading up about a gory nuke incident and then trying to look up uncensored footage of all the victims and the bodies. It's just unnecessary for me to disgust myself with the "details" if I know the "point" of it all.
My inquiry is kinda childish, but the automated searchbots will get me arrested if I type the keywords regardless.
| No? You know that thingie that happens when you put all of these thingies that the ocean produces periodically, but like, in a different way, through that part of human selves that makes them do electrical stuff inside of themselves and thus move and create noise through that thing in the neck and even listen to other selves' noises? I posted a coded a question before about what would happen if people do the ocean thingie not on us, but on a different guy.ones that left us forever

Naw, they're basically just CD2.0s, though yeah, what's with that name

| if the news are fake, then, about history...

I'd really appreciate if you stopped baiting us, pretty please?
It's getting hard to keep up with all these uses of our name... @.@

| Hey don't lump me into this, I don't really care about you if you're not a "ocean thingie on human electrical thingie" expert or a someone with one of those gems.
| The companies also like to slightly arrange things and try to peddle the new editions as vastly improved. It varies. I don't think we've bitten that bait in a while! -Trill
| Besides that, it is a little bit frustrating. Sometimes when the kids are in a good mood and I can fit it into the plan I go into other things.
I did have to break up a fight that sort of came from this though.-Trill
| >>400181 Last year, one of the girls wanted to dress up as the last French queen and give everyone in the class a cookie. She did receive some teasing, but the cookies kinda eased that away from something worse. However, one of the boys kept insisting that they had to 'take the Queen's head off' and would keep bothering her nonstop by shouting things along these lines. Then a couple of his friends joined in...
| >>400565 Separating them, sending him to the office stopped the worst from happening in class. However during their recess period, she slapped one of the 'Rebels' and he shoved her into the plastichipping. People were starting to take sides and join by the time I got over there.
Turns out that a stray ball hit the queen's hairdo, ruining it. Her friends were certain it was from the 'Rebels', so she slapped the nearest one. Rebels claimed they were either jump roping or climbing.
| >>400611 And as far as I can tell, no one saw them throw anything. Both were sent to the office and I got a warning myself for teaching off-plan. Normally the school doesn't mind it, they just do when it results in schoolyard fighting.-Trill

Feeling kind of embarrassed that I can't read this one

| I've met some people in my life that sometimes had no idea what I was even talking about when it came to certain history subjects. I thought it was common knowledge you learn from school, so to verify that, I looked for my old school books. After I realized my fucking house burned down back then, I bought all the history books of today. A lot of things I thought were common knowledge were missing. It barely dedicated a paragraph on ANYTHING that happened 500 years ago.
