  • It’s not even primitive, just communism. The idea that peoples without civilization are held back or stuck in the past is a problematic worldview as well, and doesn’t hold up well with the archeological evidence either.

    edit: I strongly recommend the Book “The Dawn of Everything” by Graeber and Wengrow, on this very topic


















  • This is incredibly misleading. A “hydrogen bomb” generally refers to a thermonuclear fusion weapon. This is not that. It’s just a “regular” chemical explosive.

    The article makes it sound like this is a modified version of what’s known as a hydrogen bomb, but without a fission-based detonator. It is not. It’s a chemical bomb that yields flammable products so you get a fireball.

    Also explosions aren’t better because they last long lol, the whole point of an explosion is to be fast. By these metrics a log of wood is an even better bomb
