  • Oh, my bad I have read your question wrong.

    As for your question regarding the book by Jared Diamond “Guns, Germs, and Steel” I have not yet read it (Maybe I should). Jared Diamond was very briefly covered in my “human evolution minor” though so not sure if that helps but it should signal to you that he is definitely talked about in those circles.

    I have met Rutger Bregman though, the author of another book that covers similar things. He had a presentation/talk with the EU greens. So, he is more so libbed up though he at least admits that he writes in a very sensationalist way.

    Sadly, the professor that taught the lectures about reviewing and criticising certain historical/archaeological media has passed away in 2023, and with this I believe our faculty has lost the ability/channel to think critically about issues like that.




  • I was just watching Weltspiegel this evening which was so conflating and very biased. They first went like yes trump is bad and all (for the case of greenland) and then they interviewed a “specialist” who was constantly claiming that russia is the biggest threat to greenland and not the actual fact that trump is the main cause in this situation. The rest of that edition consisted out of cuba bashing, interviewing US military trainees in Hawaii (and portraying them as heroic) and really bad coverage on iran. I swear to god it was the most US asslicking bullshit that i have ever seen, and I guess germany is goingto keep sucking trumps dick.
