Could Finland have not lost the Winter War if it had a couple of Leopard 2s? How much edge would modern equipment give them?
Yes until it gets swarmed by Russian infantry and runs out of ammunition or gets rekt by pic related. They also could not be everywhere at once.
Would Rome have fallen if it had Jeeps and Machine guns?
>>1332680
probably would have fallen earlier
What exactly did the Roman senate do if all the power essentially rested with the emperor?
What does the U.S. senate do if all the power belongs to the lobbyists?
>>1332654
I'm really not sure that imperial Rome had checks and balances

Atheism, you are being intellectually dishonest if you ignores spiritual truth.

pic related is not only the right-hand of the Pope, he's also extremely close friends with Benedict.
>In April 2012, the election of a young gay man who was living in a registered same-sex partnership to a pastoral council in Vienna was vetoed by the parish priest. After meeting with the couple, Schönborn reinstated him. He later advised in a homily that priests must apply a pastoral approach that is "neither rigorist nor lax" in counselling Catholics who "don't live according to [God's] master plan".[38]
Christianity died after the Reformation. Who cares?
Who gives a shit.
Here is another great cardinal, also very close to the pope
>In 2014, addressing a question raised on the family, he argued that church doctrine can change over time, and "doesn't depend on the spirit of time but can develop over time." "Saying that the doctrine will never change is a restrictive view of things," Marx later clarified at a Vatican press conference. "The core of the Catholic Church remains the Gospel, but have we discovered everything? This is what I doubt."[12]

What are people thinking about when they say "reality"?
Notice I'm not exactly asking the definition of reality, but the image in people's minds when they use this word.
>>1332259
Too bad , the definition of reality:
It's a reflexive image of the totality of a person's thoughts. It's a model, a simulation in their minds of everything they've experienced.
What people think of reality is narrowed down to a fairly specific context. It's basically the summation of popular opinion on abstract events. It's everything they feel afraid to question aloud.
The nature of reality doesn't enter in to most people's thinking. They don't try to break...

to what extent does philosophy influence politics? Plato, obviously, but he's almost more like a political theorist at that point. Same with Locke. Do politicians ever actually acknowledge the work of other philosophers?
Look, if philosophy is love of wisdom, and wisdom is a supreme good, of course it
improves anything if well done.
>>1332179
>to what extent does philosophy influence politics?
Depends on the politician
During the cold war, the USSR was driven by Ideology whereas the US was driven by interests
>>1332217
I figured the US was driven to prevent the rise of communism. I guess in that case they are driven by philosophy as well.
Part of my question though is does Marx really count? He was proposing a new form of government, so doesn't that make him a political theorist? Where is this line?
What is historical reason for using... this retardation of measure system?
>>1332112
People used different measures.
Then the French had a great idea witha that metric shit.
The Anglos opossed it just because.
Most of the individual measurements in imperial are more useful for actual everyday life.
Atmospheric temperatures rarely exceed 50 C, unless you live in Australia, but they routinely dip below 0 C.
Human body temperature is just under 100F.
0 to 100 in Fahrenheit is going to be a lot more useful on most of the planet.
Feet are better than meters for describing human sized things.
Also, the cost of disruption far outweighs the benefits of standardization.

Why do Christians on this board struggle so much to understand that Buddhism is nontheistic at most, and atheistic at its norm?
Buddhists may accept the fact that there are devas in the Heaven-realms, and that they have some measure of power over the human world. However, these 'deities' themselves are unenlightened and trapped in samsara: they are not worthy of respect or worship, and they cannot deliver an individual from his karma or from the cycle of rebirth. They are not all-powerful or omniscient. They are not creator deities. Some are even deluded due...

Christians and fedoras alike talk shit about belief systems they've never studied themselves, wow you think the sun will rise tommorow?
>>1331944
Not all Christians are worried about what Buddhist believe or don't believe when we actually believe in the same thing.
The only ones I hear about are usually Athens and Sparta, and occasionally Corinth. Were there other Greek citystates besides these? And did they have kingships like Sparta or a democracy like Athens?
Thebes is probably number 3. Phocis is interesting as well. You should read up on the Third Sacred War. Shit is crazy yo

Thespians, they were players
There were about a dozen Greek cities along the coast of Anatolia, Miletus being the greatest of these. However, they were usually ruled by despots in the thrall of whoever was the regional power - Lydia, Persia, Alexander.
My dad sold my great-grandfathers German coin collection, that I was due to inherit, for 10$ How much was it actually worth so I can charge him the difference for being a dumb fuck.
>>1331768
doesn't look like stuff that's worth much more than the metal it's made of.
I think you mistook the history board for the fuckin coin-pricing board.
Polite sage, since you're obviously a retard.
You can exchange the "west" german money at any german Bank at the ratio 1€/2 Mark so in your case 65 Pfennige for 32 (33 if you're lucky) ct. The Rest is worthless old shit @
So I've been reading about Ostsiedlung. Tell me something, /his/, why wasn't the region modernly known as Czechia also colonized? It kinda feels like German migrants randomly stop wandering to that region in particular, but everywhere else nearby.
Jesus, where is this map from? It's almost as retarded as >>1318086

i apologize for question that may be stupid or unanswerable. i really have no clue.
how did the difference between the wealthiest and some generic middle/lower class dude change through/before/after ancient hegemonies? where did they get the actual value output at "ground" level, where did it go and how did the amount change per person? was there a generalizable trend for value of types of goods based on world situation?
TL;DR what was the world employed in and where did the income go during different eras

Sorry, but I need a decent excuse to read more than a sentence in a post that that has had zero grammatical effort put into it. If you don't care about your post then why should I?
>>1331653
i get a feeling you'd have just made an actual post with content if you had any relevant knowledge
>>1331665
I'm not so sure since I didn't take the effort to read your the OP. But feel free to spend a post pointing out how I put the effort into suggesting you improve your post quality as if that is somehow ironic instead taking an iota of pride in your prose by looking down and discovering wearing the shift key is.
