Overview on Chinese History over the course of 4000 years. About half is an overview of ancient China to the Opium Wars, setting up the context for what happens in the 19th century when European imperialism comes to China. The underlying cultural traits of the Han Chinese people are discussed, as well as their different philosophies, perceptions of self, hierarchy, and the perceptions of those around them, Korea, Japan, etc. The rest of the podcast is a description of the situation in China during the Opium Wars, the destruction of the Qing dynasty, and the struggle for power culminating in the Chinese Communist Party ruling over mainland China. Within that history is the factions, men and women, and outside events and technology that influenced the shift, and the collective trauma of the Chinese people at multiple civil wars and foreign invasions.Notes overview:https://illegitimatescholar.substack.com/p/china-historical-overviewDiscord:https://discord.gg/KhJgpMj6JjBiting the Bullet Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/5wVoQzcAXO7YyYKEBSx2tc?si=8b9191ae679643e7Books from this Podcast:(best history on the Korean War)Korean War - Bruce Cummings: https://amzn.to/3NyHvAJ(Best book for understanding modern Chinese culture)Oracle Bones - Peter Hessler https://amzn.to/3Xth5og(Best book for understanding the effect of Japan colonizing Korea and how it is still affected today)Japan's Colonization of Korea: Discourse and Power - Alexis Dudden https://amzn.to/46uWjJk-Affiliate LinksAudio Podcast:https://pod.link/1650280020 #anthropology #podcasts #history #libertarian #libertarians #mises #China #chinesehistory #sino #sinophile #ancientChina #qingdynasty #dao #culturalanthropology #legalism #confucianism #Sonofheaven #opiumwars #imperialism #colonialism #eastasianhistory #humankind #mankind Discord: https://discord.gg/KhJgpMj6JjPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/IllegitimateScholar Audio Podcast: https://pod.link/1650280020 Twitter.com: https://twitter.com/ill_scholarYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRH77S0fVLmAZU4xLnAxuvw

Next week. We're going to start on the first episode. Of a series on the anthropology of religion and what anthropology has to say about what religion is.

We talk about how relationships work, how they worked in different times in history and how they work today and the problems of them and the modern tech and what problems that creates in relationships. We talk about over-processing of food and a number of different things. We talk about technological advance and how the rate of technological advance has changed and what might be different about the technology that we have today.

In this episode of the Illegitimate Scholar Podcast, I delve into the profound consequences of humanity's rejection of its natural roots and the impact it has had on Western civilization. With the increasing disconnect from nature and the accumulation of social constructs over time, our lives have become less aligned with our fundamental needs, leading to a constant state of cognitive dissonance. I explore various themes, starting with the influence of religion, contrasting traditional beliefs that revered nature with the dominance-centric perspectives of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.As monotheism gained prominence, the concept of control over nature evolved, culminating in the notion that humans are godlike beings exempt from the laws of nature. This departure from our innate connection with the natural world has resulted in issues such as the denial of sexual dimorphism and the rejection of evolutionary principles, as seen in debates over trans athletes and the disregard for biological sex. This alarming trend demonstrates how some individuals fail to recognize themselves as an integral part of nature.Moreover, I highlight the rising mental health issues in Western societies, drawing attention to the alarming statistics provided by the CDC. The disconnection from nature, compounded by the limited exposure to the outdoors, has been linked to the prevalence of anxiety, depression, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) among children and adults. Despite the awareness of the importance of nature, Americans, particularly the younger generation, spend less time outdoors, adversely impacting their well-being.The episode also explores the detrimental effects of hyper-processed food on our health. Western culture's hyper-individualistic tendencies have led to the breakdown of traditional family structures and a focus on personal desires rather than familial stability. Social constructs have further distanced us from our natural origins and moved us away from a balanced existence.Join me on the Illegitimate Scholar Podcast as I illuminate the profound consequences of rejecting our human nature, urging a critical reevaluation of our values and lifestyles to ensure a sustainable future for Western civilization. Discord: https://discord.gg/KhJgpMj6Jj Audio Podcast: https://pod.link/1650280020 Twitter.com: https://twitter.com/ill_scholar#podcast #history #politics #anthropology #ancienthistory #libertarian #illegitimatescholar #culturalanthropology #politicalscience #socialscience #socialstudies #libertarian #libertarianpodcasts #podcasts #Americanculture #culture #geopolitics #historypodcasts #historyfacts #historical #socialconstructs #humanity #biologyDiscord: https://discord.gg/KhJgpMj6JjPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/IllegitimateScholar Audio Podcast: https://pod.link/1650280020 Twitter.com: https://twitter.com/ill_scholarYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRH77S0fVLmAZU4xLnAxuvw

This is ISL, Illegitimate Scholar live, news current events discussed by the Illegitimate Scholar I start with a discussion on the Penny indictment and what that means for those who might want to help others in a dangerous situation. I discuss the implications of a strange firing of a Starbucks manager amongst accusations of racism years ago that just settled for 26 million dollars in favor of the former employee. I speculate Starbucks was aware they were wrong here but calculated the optics of taking action was worth more than the loss of money in the lawsuit.I discuss LGBTQ+ creatives and the apparent loss in business revenue this year. I further discuss the position of corporations in the United States and why they do not have political opinions. The fall of rainbow capitalism. I discuss a settlement where Epstein sexual assault survivors were awarded over 290 million by JPMorgan Chase, who were complicit in the trafficking.  I discuss the apparent status of BMI as racist and speculate that someone, somewhere, is making money off of this new idea. I discuss fentanyl from China and the historical irony in it.I discuss the difference between perceptions of race and self in China and in the US.I discuss a possible arms sale to Hungary, a supposed NATO ally and the line between ally and subordinate nation. I end with a discussion of emic vs etic, anthropological terms, and the idea of having "non-men" instead of women.
