Michael Saylor expressed: Guns, Germs, Steel, and Bitcoin.
Community response: Climate/Topography, Microbes (Germs), Technology (Guns & Steel) and Bitcoin. (Merged with Sovereign Individual). I re-read both books often.
The entire market is about to be rug pulled.
Bitcoin is Nokia, great and a first to dominate, ETH is apple iphone, Michael pumping bitcoin because his company is built on it, otherwise in business sense bitcoin is just gold, can’t start a machine, ETH is oil, every machine runs on it.
Sir, if this is a reference to Jared diamond’s book guns, germs and steel, that is about Europeans engaging in centuries of violent conquest and genocide.
For clarity, Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies is a 1997 transdisciplinary non-fiction book by Jared Diamond. In 1998, Guns, Germs, and Steel won the Pulitzer Prize for general nonfiction and the Aventis Prize for Best Science Book.
The book attempts to explain why Eurasian and North African civilizations have survived and conquered others, while arguing against the idea that Eurasian hegemony is due to any form of Eurasian intellectual, moral, or inherent genetic superiority.
Diamond argues that the gaps in power and technology between human societies originate primarily in environmental differences, which are amplified by various positive feedback loops. When cultural or genetic differences have favored Eurasians (for example, written language or the development among Eurasians of resistance to endemic diseases), he asserts that these advantages occurred because of the influence of geography on societies and cultures (for example, by facilitating commerce and trade between different cultures) and were not inherent in the Eurasian genomes.
The book’s title is a reference to the means by which farm-based societies conquered populations and maintained dominance despite sometimes being vastly outnumbered – guns, germs, and steel enabled imperialism.
Diamond argues geographic, climatic and environmental characteristics which favored early development of stable agricultural societies ultimately led to immunity to diseases endemic in agricultural animals and the development of powerful, organized states capable of dominating others.
Guns, Germs, and Steel focuses on why some populations succeeded. His later book, Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed, focuses on environmental and other factors that have caused some populations to fail.
The reception of Guns, Germs, and Steel by academics was generally positive. Guns, Germs, and Steel won the 1997 Phi Beta Kappa Award in Science. Very good book maybe is your duty to write the actual episode of Life.
