What went wrong and what can aspiring societies of today learn from past mistakes to forge a stable civilization outside of the white homeland?
I think we all know the answer, by the way.
Too many wars, too few allies.
>>57293
That was the white homeland you moron. Armenians, kyrgistanis, Azeris, Syrians, etc are white. The Turks were invaders.
What was your first exposure to ethics?
Also, share some quandaries.

I don't see how running over a fat guy will stop the train from hitting those 5 people.

Best option is to ignore both situations, taking any action is immoral.

By giving the conductor enough time to come to a stop, I assume.

Holy fuck thats awesome
This reality consists of physical reality (space, matter, energy, and the laws of physics) and consciousness. It is clear that there is a link between the two. By simply willing it to happen, we can make our bodies move, interacting with and changing physical reality. If you pick up an object, you are using consciousness to manipulate physical reality. It is also clear that physical reality can affect consciousness. If your body is injured, you consciously experience pain. If you stand near a flame, you consciously experience the sensation of heat. This suggests that one is...

We already know that consciousness can affect physical reality. We also know that we dream and essentially create our own realities within our minds. There is no reason to doubt that this can be taken to a further level. There is no evidence, philosophical or empirical, that physical reality can create something as complex and perfect as consciousness, but we already know that consciousness can create anything it wants within its own thoughts. This suggests that this physical reality is subjective to consciousness and is essentially a collective dream of all consciousness experiencing...

This realization, however, leaves another, arguably more important question unanswered: What happens when we die? This question relies in large part on whether or not we, as conscious beings, exist forever. To answer these questions, one must consider what reality really is. Of course reality conists of physical reality and consciousness, but physical reality is subjective to consciousness. Objective reality, then, is essentially two things: Consciousness and time. However, time is not really a thing, so it might be more correct to say that objective reality is only consciousness....

It could, of course, be argued that the above argument is invalid because there will always be someone who exists, and out of infinite possibilities, some extremely unlikely or even infinitely unlikely possibility will always exist. This is true. The current state of the Universe, down to every detail, is one out of an incomprehensibly large number of possibilities, yet here the Universe is, in its current state, despite the unliklihood. This moment in time is one out of infinite. However, it is guaranteed that the Universe exists in some state. It is guaranteed that we are...

If you could choose any time in history to live, even and where would you go?
>>57026
Last week, your moms house m8
>>57026
Unless I was cured of all diseases, disabilities, and ensured I would live to seventy at least- fucking no-where. The best time to live is always in the present.

I'd dick the Dobster
ok
what about it
>>57035
That it exists
did someone say "Black Death"?
>>57003
Plague hit European several different occasions, but I believe The Black Death of the 1300's was the most devastating and that's why it is called such.
Rats, dude.
>>57003
>also were the jews mainly at fault for it
Jews likely didn't go to public baths (which fell out of use after the plague due to their nature as vectors of the disease) and stayed relatively healthy, so they were viewed as spreading the disease.
At least that's what I've heard.
How do I interpret this map? I guess I need to brush up on my feudalism skills some, but how on earth is the Kingdom of France completely different from the Royal Domain of the French King?
The Royal Domain of the French King is held by the King himself.
The Kingdom of France is all the land that's supposed to owe fealty to the King of France
Regards, Crusader kings pro.
>>56848
lrn2 vassals
domain of the king is the land the king owns
the realm the king rules is shit ruled by dukes and counts, who serve the king and pledge themselves to him but they rule the land
The kingdom of france is the territory for the frankish lands. The king is the leader of the kingdom. The king was ordained (loose definition) long ago by royal families. A familial dynasty was attached to the kingship. These royal families thst were not part of the kingly dynasty held lands in return for being loyal to the king. Tldr: the kingdom was under the watch of tge king but he chopped it up and gave it to other royals as appeasement. The king has his own personal lands which is the roya domain or demesne. He exacts tribute for his demesne as well as from his local nobles'...

I think we can all agree that this man single highhandedly saved Europe, no, the entire world from eternal damnation at the hands of the idolatry and heresy of Catholicism.
Martin Luther plagiarized his doctoral thesis at Boston University school of divinity, it's a fact.
>>56911
>>56844
If you actually read the 95 Theses, it's all about practices that the Catholic Church doesn't perform anymore. Luther got the Church to fix it's problems, but it took them like 30 years to get around to fixing it.
Valeur et discipline. This is now a coalition free board. Pesky coalition nations must leave.

Here we discuss the history of Islam and its importance in history.

Are nasheeds historical?
All the ones I seem to find are modern ones that sound enhanced by computers or something
When did Islamic chants come into practice?
I'd heard Mohammed banned music, though I don't know too much about that
>>56681
out of curiosity, are there any historical accounts of the prophet mohammed outside of islam? or is it like the controversy about the existence of jesus? islam's affect on the history of the world has been undeniable, regardless of whether you support it or not, I just wonder what is fact and what is legend regarding it's origins
so, /his/torians, where are you at on the path to enlightenment?
I recently had a bit of an epiphany about how i have been living my life, leading do a path of destruction.
i had read about the teachings of Buddha in the past, and after more current research, am embarking on a journey to end suffering, and live a better life.
What's your story? and currently practicing Buddhists on here?
achieved it a while ago
now its reinforced every now and then at varying levels of intensity, other enlightened beings will understand
>>56723
Actually I don't understand since Enlightenment is a 0-point where there is no improvement or degrading whatsoever, just 1 standard of mindset in which everything is at peace so if there's any varying levels of intensity you're not doing it right.
>>56816
you're not doing it right
i cant just be enlightened and sit around doing nothing, change is dynamic
Why did Hitler invade the Soviet Union?
Why didn't he focus on the Western powers first?
What was he thinking? Did the attack make sense?
>>56619
He thought the Soviets were going to invade him and his only hope was a preemptive strike.
Also he wanted the large recourses of western Russia to help fuel even more devlopment
>>56916
Couldn't he have waited until he dealt with the west? It seems like he misread the situation. USSR wasn't planning to invade and were caught completely unawares.
>>56619
Results of the Russo-Finnish War made Russia look weak, along with Stalin being a retard and killing all of his good generals made invading Russia look appealing.
Was Dresden actually bombed? Or is this just Nazi propaganda?
Did you remember muh Dresden 425 burjillion today, /his/?
