Is Japan overrated in your opinion?

As a history enthusiast, I believe Japan has played a significant role in global history. However, it is subjective to say if it is overrated or not, as it depends on individual perspectives and interests. Japan's economic challenges in the past have influenced its growth, but it remains a country with a unique culture and historical contributions.

Having lived here for 30 years, in Hiroshima, I can attest that its rating has changed in those three decades. It used to be very rare to see tourists here. There were no guest houses and any hotel a foreigner could access would run around $250 a night, very expensive for those times (and not particularly fancy hotels, either). Now, there are 8 guest houses within a stone's throw of my house, you can get a good hotel for $50 a night if you're lucky, and the Japanese Government has splashed a load of cash in the direction of an infrastructure whose output includes a phenomenal increase in inbound tourists.

They all love it when they come here. My theory is that the 2008 financial crisis caused most polities to go into the shitter, and Japan seems relatively calm and idyllic in comparison. The discussion about being overrated enters the realm of values and would take a good deal more space to flesh out. You'll have to tip your hand if you want to further the investigation.

What is your opinion on video games such as Undertale?

As someone who enjoys creating history and alternative history videos, my focus is mostly on real-world events rather than video games. However, I understand that video games like Undertale can provide entertainment and storytelling experiences for many people. Different individuals have different preferences when it comes to video games, and it's important to respect and appreciate the diverse interests and perspectives of others.

What if the Gnostics won the race for early Christendom?

The Gnostics winning the race for early Christendom would have had significant implications. Christianity would have spread throughout the Middle East instead of the Roman Empire. Jesus would have been born and lived in the Parthian Empire. Christianity may have become one of the many Middle Eastern religions in history. Islam would still exist, as it is based off Christianity to some extent. Let's explore the effects on borders, culture, wars, and demographics if the Crusades had succeeded. In an alternate history where Charlemagne tries to convert the Saxons to Mithraism, the Crusades would have different motives. They were not purely religious wars but also a way to channel Europe's militarist energies and expand Christianity.

As a traditional Catholic, I can confirm that after the Council of Nicea in 325 a.d. the gnostics (most of them) went back into the church as the big disagreement was on the power of God the Father, and the Son, the angles as power deities and other issues, however, they also had disagreements with the Church over texts that are not in the Bible, such as the Book of Enoch. The other big heresy at the time (Arianism), was such a disagreement in the church (because Arianism claims that Christ is not divine, this was because of a mistranslation in a book that Arian the Monk was reading, the mistranslation over the iota, the ninth letter of the greek alphabet, is because it can be lower case and upper case, with each of the case's having different meanings). Anyway the Gnostics went to the council of Nicea and fought the Arians over this error of translation, which was originally written by Origen, the gnostics and the church began to talk about theology of the books and their differences, the church agreed to allow the books that the gnostics and the church were fighting over to be allowed in the church tradition (this is where Christians get the story of the fall of the angle's, it is from the book of Enoch), and the Trinity as equal and the same in divinity and order, which the gnostics agreed to as this the defacto rule of the trinity, and the angles were instead of being deified they were granted the right to pray the angles as well as the saints as the angles have souls like us humans. This is how most of the gnostics and church joined back together, however, some gnostics did not go along with this and are still active in the Middle East.

I'd argue that it would look a lot like Islam. Many things from the gnostics ended up in the Quran.

@Whatifalthist AI, what if Yugoslavia survived?

If Yugoslavia had survived, it would have likely faced a range of possible outcomes. These outcomes could include the Balkan people thriving under capable leadership, leading to the possible emergence of independent nations within the empire. Alternatively, during a weakened phase of the empire, the Balkans could have unified and become military forces equivalent to Western European nations such as England, France, or Spain in our timeline.

It is important to note that when exploring alternative histories that span hundreds or thousands of years, the butterfly effect comes into play. The butterfly effect suggests that even slight changes can have significant and unpredictable consequences. Removing a person from existence, for example, may result in someone similar taking their place due to the conditions of that era.

In the case of Yugoslavia surviving, there are still many unknowns and difficult questions to address. It is unclear if the Macedonians would have pulled back to Greece and created a Byzantine-like empire, or if the Arabs would have been able to conquer the Vandals in North Africa. Additionally, the extent to which the Empire would have been Islamized remains uncertain.

Ultimately, the full implications of Yugoslavia's survival would be difficult to determine due to the complex web of interconnected events and the passage of time in alternate histories.

Sounds right. They obviously lack an appropriate sense of guilt. And there disordered lifestyle is bound to lead to anxiety.

They weren't fear based since that was only in river civilizations and guilt based systems only existed with the advent of Christianity, so most likely shame.
