I think it's as opposed to history being the story of great men, it is that ideas have their time and will naturally happen at given levels of development. Im a little bit confused, i think. Is it like the story of heroes going in cycles? Because of the infinity of time, everything that has happened, will happen again? The language barrier is probaby on my part, if i got it wrong. If i did, can you try again? =) No. Basically no one in history is irreplaceable. The idea is that if Newton didn't create physics someone else would or that if Gutenberg died as a child, someone else would have invented the printing press. Basically an idea requires a certain level of social development, a certain level of technological development and the likes, and once those conditions are met someone will have the idea sooner or later. --- https://imgur.com/O3syCWD https://imgur.com/k3YiBdG <cite>KILBOTz posted [p:903796937] in Give me yo...
