While you Butter Europeans were living in huts like primitives, my ancestors built the Temple of Zeus.

His ancestors build the Temple of Zeus, because his ancestors where slaves used for heavy labour.

Ouch!

Dont confuse modern concepts of the nobility of labour with the ancient concept of labour as slavery.

>Butter Europeans
If you mean the Irish, they were making private artificial islands around the same time the Temple of Zeus was constructed, having grown bored of making megalithic structures which told the time for the past couple thousand years. What you're doing is like a South Sudanese bragging about his FEMA tent to a Dubai property mogul.

Butter Europeans = Northern Europeans in Taleb lingo

>> No.17170039

>>17169963
Ireland produced the best butter and preserved it the longest because they created peatbogs during the building giant calendars phase and then moved on to making prime grassland for cattle rearing during the private island phase. They're still the top EU exporter, making over a billion a year from it. That's why I figured he meant the Irish. I don't think any northern Europeans were as obsessed with cows as they were either. They had a whole genre of myths about cows.
