_Schizotypy

It is apparent that we don't agree on what defines a group of humans to be a sort of 'nation-state'

At which exact point in history would you point to as the defining moment where 'nation-states' begin?

Do you judge all historical concepts purely by how they are in the current day?

Concepts develop over time, those societies are absolutely part of the beginning of current day nation-states no matter how diverse in culture they may have been (which is something we still see today)

the top down organization of humans and labor, complete with warring states.

I'm rather unsure how this would NOT be considered similar to nation-state organization. Yes, a slightly smaller scale in some cases perhaps but there is still the over-arching governmental authority

edited to add: I love how people down-vote impulsively without context for argument

Medieval Europe was a form of nation state....

I think you need a longer URL

From my experience reading research into articles relating to neuroscience, when omitting the term 'organization', 'driving' something implies a sort of 'this is what is powering the...' or 'this is what is stimulating the...' I agree that including the term 'pokemon' would drive some readers to the article, omitting 'organization' obfuscates what the article is really about

I think the term 'organization' is pretty important here, more-so than pokemon

'Experience with pokemon suggests eccentricity drives organization of visual cortex'?

'Childhood experience suggests eccentricity drives organization of visual cortex'?

Why do people cite breitbart like it's an actual source of trustworthy information

none of those things have anything to do with Linux. If you're installing Linux, you probably aren't using the included Windows installation which is where all that crapware was installed

Cocaine has negligible withdrawal symptoms especially when compared to benzodiazepines or alcohol, so this is absolutely not the case. The literature that I have read does not say that any compounds are "hard" or "soft" The literature that I have read also has noted that the impact of alcohol and tobacco are worse than the drugs people always refer to as "hard" drugs.

Could the block of wood be considered a communication device if you write on it to communicate with your passengers?

Are you saying 85dB is "pleasurable"?

Can you explain what pharmacological properties of a substance makes a drug "hard"? This is defined nowhere in literature.
