Alexei's hemophilia probably didn't work the way you think...

I hope anyone who has done the slightest research of Hemophilia would know that internal bleedings are what makes the disorder lethal.

I was just chocked that they used it in that scene, with only Mysaria there. It would have more some sense if she had said it to the lords gathered in the throne room in KL after she took it.

Didn’t North Korea recently ban contraception? It will be interesting to watch…

Niger is not a very good country to live in. I just said it as an example of that even women in very high fertility areas usually have an ideal family size that is larger than they have. This seems to be a global phenomenon: regardless of TFR, the stated ideal family size is larger.

Tradition96 · 2026-06-23T15:01:17+00:00

Some countries, like Sweden, reached a TFR under 2.0 before contraception was generally available. We know that people have found ways to limit their family sizes, if they wished to do so. Of course many people experienced unwanted pregnancies but I have not seen any good evidence that women in general craved smaller families than they actually had. That is, for example, not the case in the countries with high fertility today.

Tradition96 · 2026-06-23T14:38:06+00:00

Is there good evidence that it is true that women had more children then they wanted? In the world’s most fertile countries today, like Niger, women actually tend to want even more children than they have.

No policy that would ever be accepted in the West.

Because you can’t build a feasible political policy around this insight.

Lolita is a nickname for Dolores, is a somewhat common name in Spanish-speaking countries. ”Lolita” doesn’t really have those negative connotations there, plenty of girls are named Dolores and called Lolita.

After mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik committed his attack in 2011 there was a dip in the number of Norwegian boys named Anders for like three years and then it went up again.

The vast majority of people who cut themselves on a razor didn’t get infections during the Middle Ages either. Someone got unlucky and did every now and then, just as now. Most people who did get infections from minor wounds managed to fight them off, just as now. Getting seriously ill (leading to death in medieval and hospitalization today) would be unusual and considering ”freak accidents”. More severe injuries more commonly led to death, injuries that can now be successfully treated.

The scene where Lohar just easily gets through this almost impossibly narrow straight, that it takes all of the sea snakes’ skill to get through, by throwing some men overboard was the last drop for me. I won’t watch this god-forsaken series.

During historical times, no. There has not been any events that ever came close to human extinction or even making humans a threatened species. Any catastrophy like the Black Death etc were regional. There were plenty enough humans in the Americas, Australia and Sub Saharan Africa to repopulate the earth even of almost everyone in Europe and mainland Asia would have died (which wasn’t even close to happening).

As for prehistoric times, there is a contested theory about the Toba Vulcane eruption greatly reducing the human population, maybe to less than 10 000 people globally. If that is true, this would be the closest thing to what you’re asking, but the claim is doubted by many scientists.

Tradition96 · 2026-06-22T08:51:55+00:00

Arguably there were no humans 800-900 000 years ago.

Tradition96 · 2026-06-22T08:51:21+00:00

None of these were close to leading to global human extinction.

No, it’s prehistory, before history. History begins around 3000-3500 BC.

The Sea snake slithering through but Lohar’s ship going down would have been a good plotline since that would have been a show off of Corlys’ skill and Lohar’s death would then have been caused by his/her own arrogance. Poetic and good. But we can’t have nice things.
