As empires rise and fall, a select few leave their mark on history. Some are remembered as the unifiers and peacemakers, the ones who developed society for the better. Others are remembered as the destroyers, those who coveted power and glory enough to slay and destroy anything and anyone in their path.

What the cause of this extinction might have been is a subject of heavy debate, the two main theories currently splitting between a climatic and a competitive focus. One of the most important components of being able to properly evaluate these propositions is to answer the question of whether modern…

It is a nightmare to citizens born and raised in the United States, but it’s a reality to citizens of North Korea. It’s not just any nightmare, it’s an Orwellian nightmare to be more precise.

It’s an ugly truth that not many people know that is a reality in countries like North Korea. The novel, 1984, by George Orwell is about a dystopian world called Oceania.…
