    You know you're on the org when a thread about english speaking supremacy turns into a debate of the 100 years war and longbows. I was not disappointed.
    The art of war, then, is governed by five constant
    factors, to be taken into account in one's deliberations,
    when seeking to determine the conditions obtaining in the field.

    These are: (1) The Moral Law; (2) Heaven; (3) Earth;
    (4) The Commander; (5) Method and discipline.

    But of course, history and games are the two things that unite the entire board.
    Being better than the worst does not inherently make you good. But being better than the rest lets you brag.

    If the longbow was a key technology in determination nation state and language the U.S. would be speaking Welsh.

    Old colonial thinking: confusing technology with how civilized one is.
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.
