Been thinking about this kind of contingency lately while going through Chernow's bio of Ulysses S. Grant. Grant solved the coordination problem of the Union's offensive strategy, esp. by way of the Overland Campaign, which had decisive knock-on effects in the election of 1864.

My latest piece. Why Bengalis were killed in their thousands by tigers to prop up the East India Company. Why a fourteenth-century canal secured the rise of the Hanseatic League. And why one commodity ties these things together: ageofinvention.xyz/p/age-of-inven…

Must read: I've never been particularly convinced by the "Great Man Theory" but it's hard to also deny that certain individuals have mattered more than others. This article has a really compelling reason why: "individuals can be decisive...if they coordinate other individuals."

Really nice piece on how to think about the weight we put on individuals vs broad historical forces in history.

With a nice nod to the recent @TheRestHistory series on Martin Luther. I really wish @holland_tom and Dominic would have an economic historian on the show.

Why did so many hunter gatherer groups around the world nearly-simultaneously and in an unconnected way develop agriculture? This has been a kinda problematic question in human prehistory. It may have been solved... by an economist? Studying the economics of... Earth's orbit?

THREAD: How the framing of Israel/Zionism as the centre of all the world's ills and problems draws on centuries of antisemitic thought that sought to frame Jews as being the root source of all corruption and evil in the world and as an obstacle to societal peace and harmony.🧵

Dep. Commissioner Daughtry says he found "a book on terrorism" at Columbia. (The book is not a how-to book, but a history written by a renowned British historian.)

@MarkKoyama @jmurtazashvili @timurkuran This is a wonderful talk, thank you for putting this together!
Incredible. Columbia U stole the house of the Jewish fraternity+told them it would return it if the brothers took diversity lessons. They got a perfect score on the lessons, yet the university passed them over in favor of creating racially segregated housing for 'indigenous.'
Frat members at Cornell received disciplinary action for drinking Keystone Light in an open backyard tent, even though they had permits. Cornell's tent encampments are going on their second untouched week. The students have noticed: tabletmag.com/sections/news/…
Nothing like a complaint that "you're totally wrong - this is a quiet protest made up of only students" from, literally, a non-student @OPSEU comms officer (who has a litany of arrests if you Google), fresh from the encampment, threatening that I should "watch my back".
I am not a lawyer, but that sounds to me like a title VI violation, including his "guessing" that they were former military (ie, Israeli Jewish citizens subject to draft)
