Why are you selectively choosing to consider only the “new kingdom” part of the whole thing? Overall it’s from 3150 BC – 30 BC

I can also reach to whatever conclusion if I decide to ignore what doesn’t fit and modify what does to make it fit better. That’s wrong…

Not many do. Yours didn’t, for example.

Average out of which number? There has not been enough empires in human history to get any kind of valid statistical conclusion.

Also, the ancient egyptian empire lasted over 3k years, for you to get an average of 250y with such outlier you would need to include what, several 10y “empires”, or divide empires by ruler. Which would then make the conversation moot since each US president would be a new “empire”.

The claim comes from John Glubb, and he used this chart to make the average out of… 11 data points!?! While missing tons of other ancient empires that lasted thousands of years?!

This is the book where he makes such claim

So to answer your comment, yeah math is easy. Impossible to reach such average number with all the data though, given that it was made with a wildly incomplete and incorrect data…

No because best implies it’s good. Least bad doesn’t transmit the same message as best.

Wait, that’s an ADHD thing?

Oh, then it didn’t land on me, sorry.

It would have been funnier if you had put the correct fruit tho 🥭

Piña.

I think we are in agreement, I interpreted your message as if you were supporting the meme above. As in, criticising that fat people don’t pay more in planes or something.

I already pay more for my clothes, namely because only specific brands have my sizes. So yeah, my partner pays way less for clothing. Same with shoes, I have a 48eu and I’m forced to buy expensive brands just because, while my partner can buy cheaper shoes with waaay more choices.

What’s your point?

Yes, my imposter syndrome comes from my perception of being too lazy, not my ability to do my job when I’m actually doing it.
