All relations are metaphysical, because a relation is not a material substance.
>>1317741
Define your terms please. What do you mean by 'relation'?
>>1317741
Sure, young hegelian.
Also reality is only an idea.

No, Op is "kinda" not bullshiting. Doesn't seem to know what metaphysical means (Admitedly fairly few people that don't actually meddle in philosophy do) but he is kinda right.
Basically he is saying that relations are pure creations of a cognition on the basis that your metaphysical system only allows existence for material properties.
I don't actually know of many arguments that support that type of theory but what I know is that these kinds of metaphysical positions didn't age well, as quantum physics shook them up quite a bit....

What do you guys believe will happen to you when you die? Will your concuss be snuffed from existence? Will you be reincarnated? Will you go to your haven/hell? Ect?

I was just thinking about this last night after I watched the movie Martyrs. Personally, I hope reincarnation is a thing, not because of the existence of a soul, but because consciousness can be transfered. Think, nothing existed for you before you came into this world and since you exist now you will be conscious again within a different body or your consciousness will cease to exist, either is acceptable. If there is a soul, then I still hope reincarnation is a thing because eternity in hell sounds agonizing and eternity in anywhere good sounds agonizingly boring (who wants to live forever?). But if reincarnation is a thing and a souls exist, then what happens in the universe when there is no physical life at all? It's interesting to think.
>>1316702
Honestly a hope there nothing in the end. Reincarnation sounds awful, think about who and what you are. You are who you are because of a bunch of collected event. Where you even yourself yesterday? Reincarnation just sounds like starting over again. Nothing truly learned from one life to another.
How much would a helmet like this cost? At a local antique shop where I live they are selling one that looks just like this for $675. Now that's a pretty big fucking investment and I want to know if it's even remotely worth it.
You can get one off ebay for less than 100 bucks, prob fake tho

Is China the mother culture of Eastern Asia?

Yes.
Yeah, pretty much like Germanics are the mother culture for europe and its various spinoffs (australia, canada, usa and so on)

Is shinobi simply an incredibly general term referring to any spy, assassin or undercover agent in medieval Japan, or does it actually refer to a more specific group of warriors/agents?
I don't know much about this subject, but want to know more about medieval Japan. Any other stuff on shinobi is welcome.
>>1318922
Shinobi literally meant "Hidden Person."
So the translation would be "secret agent."
>>1318935
So the former then?
>>1318922
>Is shinobi simply an incredibly general term referring to any spy, assassin or undercover agent in medieval Japan?
Yes, though at the time there were a variety of terms used. I believe the term today basically covers anyone doing any kind of unconventional warfare
Are there any wars throughout history that you absolutely hate learning about? For me personally I cannot stand Vietnam and American Civil War. Don't ask why but I don't like related movies, the music related, pictures, stories etc...
What are yours?
none because I'm not a fag
WW2.
It's literally just "GERMANS AND JAPS BAD USA GOOD". No talk about allied war crimes, no talk about how FDR was clearly trying to get the US involved in war, no talk about the shitstorm that happened in the balkans, and no talk about figures like De Gaulle, Tito, Charles Lindbergh Oswald Mosley, Wataru Kaji, etc. And I'm not a /pol/fag, but there's more to WW2 than the holocaust.

How come ancient societies developed crazy mythologies to explain their origins? How none of them said "yeah a long time ago, I'm not sure how long, we used to wander the country side killing whatever animal we could find until somebody learned we could grow food and here we are today". Surely the first farmers were explicitly aware that their parents or grandparents were hunter gatherers. This knowledge was surely passed down. Why/how did this morph into "people from the sky made us and shit lmao we WUZ always civilized and shit"?
>>1317960
Probably because people forget about that shit, and fanciful stories are much more memorable and entertaining.
>>1317960
Why do you assume mythology is 100% false and made up?
>>1317960
It's just a metaphor bro, you're not supposed to take it literally.
A French national who tried to abandon his 2-year-old toddler son was arrested on Monday on charges of violation of the children’s welfare law, according to the Incheon Seobu Police.
The 39-year-old is being accused of leaving the boy at a bench in a park in Seo-gu, Incheon-si on June 2 at 4:30 p.m.
According to the police, the man had met the Korean mother of his son in France through an online chatting platform. They had maintained a three year de facto marriage during which time the woman gave birth to the boy.
The couple ended their relationship...

Did Medieval courts really believe this was a proper way to test impotence? Wouldn't this be a violation of chastity and other religious/cultural values?
>>1317788
What do you mean by "proper?"
Yeah it would have been a violation, but do you really think that most people would have cared? They probably figured that they could just go to confession or have a priest say a few masses for them after they died or have someone pay for an indulgence for them or something to make up for their unchastity.
>>1317788
Violations of chastity were reserved for proper girls of good bearing. They didn't much apply to prostitutes like the witness in that case. The question was more 'how to make sure prostitutes didn't infiltrate proper society' and less 'how to make them chaste.'
>>1317888
The text doesn't really mention that these women were prostitutes though.

In this speech, Che Guevara refers to "independent peoples" as "pueblos independientes". Pueblo is obviously referring to people in this regard. However, I have always been taught that one should use "gente" in regards to specific groups, not "pueblo".
Che Guevara, being a native speaker, is probably correct in using "pueblo". Why is this though? What is the difference between "gente" and "pueblo"?
>>1317572
Spanish native speaker here (not so good with English though so I'll try my best to explain myself).
If you say "gente independiente" it feels more like you're talking about a group of individuals who are (individually) independent.
However when you say "pueblo independiente", now you're bringing in the cultural thing. A group of people who are part of the same nation (and not just the same state) or share the same culture.
For example:
"En este barrio vive mucha...

Do you speak spanish, OP? The definitions in the RAE might be useful for you.
The other anon more or less explained it well, but I'll try to do it myself too. They both are people but, like people, they both have different definitions.
"Gente" is basically just a bunch of individuals. It's a countless word that has no plural (normally) but it basically works as a plural of "person".
Pueblo is way more specific. El pueblo is "the people" as in the lower/working classes or in general the population of a place. You can say "el pueblo ha hablado" for example when there are elections or a referendum....

How come all the immigrants to American during the 18th and 19th century abandoned their native language so quickly? Every immigrant nowadays still speaks the tongue of their ancestors which came 3 generations ago, yet it seems like all those Norwegians and Germans going to the US forgot it as they got off the ship.
>>1317560
How can you be an immigrant and be born here?
>>1317584
I should have said "Every person with an immigrant background".
I'm a European. Because those fuckers don't adapt, we still consider them immigrants, because they might as well have arrived a week ago.
Pretty sure if they didnt learn english the locals would start harassing them. For example Finnish imigrants to America got some shit thrown at them for being slow to learn english.
Why was merchantism looked down upon as for peasants and Jews in most of Europe, but so heavily connected to everyday life and even governing in Italy during the middle ages?
Question focused on the latter point, specifically.
>>1317549
Italy remained somewhat urban during the Middle Ages, what with being the centre of the former Roman Empire and all, and cities = trade.
>>1317549
Ships sink, prices change, the power a Merchant held was always in flux and they depended on cooperation with merchants and principalities for security.
However a landowner was a military power and had complete control of life and death over everyone on their land, they were a class above a merchant. To gain notoriety like the Borgias they needed control over a state.
>>1317549
The ruling elite always try to keep themselves in power and potential rivals in check. This is why feudal societies-- where the elite are a rural warrior class-- treats merchants as beneath contempt,and also why modern liberal capitalist societies treat aristocrats as irrelevant and inherently morally bankrupt.
Can we change our board emblem to something that actually looks like it was made with effort?
>>1317405
No.
>>1317433
Why?

Because it was made for a meme tournament and no one here can /gd/
