  • But it was possible to sneak in daggers (the proverbial weapon for political violence; see sicarius). Since Julius Caesar’s assassination occurred outside this boundary, the senatorial conspirators could not be charged with sacrilege for carrying weapons inside the sacred city.

    Seems banning weapons didn’t work back then. Gee, it surely wouldn’t happen today either. And only some people were charged with the crime while politicians could escape charges of literal murder.

    If anything you’ve shown that we’ve done this before and restricting weapons only allows certain people to have weapons. No thanks, I’ll hold onto my rights before ICE tries to take them.

  • Things have a way of decentralizing over long enough periods of time. A recent example is computers. Once big mainframes to work stations to individual desktops to mobile windows that is found in every social class regardless of socioeconomics. A bigger one is religion. In Egypt, Byzantium, Teotihuacan, Kyoto - any religion starts as a centralized authority that is disseminated through the people and eventually form sects where each has their own version of the religion. Soon it becomes multi variable and divergent.

    Resisting this decentralizing is to hold onto something which is unstoppable. Learn to love the atomization. The only true man made constant is that everything decentralizes.
