Fair point.
There was a point in history when science was not public. Even after it became public, moat was still a thing.
Not true. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_history_of_the_Tang... Although china does not seem to try to get in wars historically. Conflicts between for example middle east and china over recorded history are…
The concept of "modern” nation-state is modern and therefore new, it cannot be otherwise. The original comment remarked on nation-states, and that they have existed in the past. They are not new as far as I am aware.
I’m going off old memory here, but I happened to have his C++ book in late 90s. I read that before I learn C. In intro he claimed strongly no need to learn C. Just learn C++. I was young and just followed his wisdom.…
