  • I mean, everything in life requires cooperation, but that’s not the point. Rice took twice as many labor hours as wheat and required more irrigation. According to Shenshi Nongshu, “if one is short of labor, it is best to grow wheat”. Also studies have shown that in China people in historically rice farming areas behave more collectively than those in wheat regions. Not all grasses behave the same way and need the same things, especially with how much we’ve bred them to our needs.


  • There’s an interesting hypothesis called the Rice Hypothesis that theorizes that the different styles of farming rice vs wheat shaped our societies in ways that are still prevalent today. Farming rice led to strong collectivism in society, while farming wheat led to strong individualism in society. Perhaps this is what has led to our differences in ideologies and governing systems.













  • That’s absolutely true, but they’re also for punishment and rehabilitation. Giving her access to a puppy in my eyes is the opposite of punishment, and she ain’t getting rehabilitated. This person destroyed thousands of lives if not more including those of children. This monster deserves zero sympathy and zero pleasures. The fact that she’s in a cushy prison is disgusting and wrong. There’s no justice for the countless victims and their families.
