How did the qualities of compassion, pity, humbleness and mercy come to be?
How did (some)humans start having these characteristics when no human society(including today's capitalistic socially darwinistic society) has encouraged them, while some(like roman and far right dictatorships) have abhorred them?
From an evolutionary standpoint there's no reason for them to even exist since they go against the brutality of natural selection and survival of the fittest and no other species exept humans exhbit these traits.
So again how do these traits exist...

Never Forget the Greatest Tragedy in history. ;_;7
Some say that super volcano killed them.
Other believe it would happen again some day in the future.
I thought the toba disaster theory had been largely discredited.
What is he even trying to argue? Enlightenment=Myth? Is it worth it to read through the whole book?
Everything is a Myth if you believe hard enough.
>>1307126
It's literally about how the three ideologies of the Enlightenment(nazism, stalinsim and liberal capitalism) are totalitarian in character and their essence is scientific rationality which is Totality.
>>1307732
I remember encountering that concept in geography, people complained that Western approaches to geography were totalitarian.

I always wonder, would the Brits have done better in this particular scenario if their equipment was less modern and went back to the plate and mail of late medieval times?
Assuming of course the Zulu wouldn't have been armed with rifles either.
I think the only problem was underestimating a group of people who you want to enslave/colonize whatever you want to call it.
Africans didn't have the same mentality as Indians, they couldn't approach it like that.
>sorry to ignore you op.
>>1306537
The late medieval army of England was a few knights accompanied by semi professional men at arms who were more akin to mercenaries with a bulk of undisciplined peasants who were prone to fleeing at a moments notice
>>1306548
Well the core of the question was if they would have been better off trading firepower for armor.
But actually I am quite sure you are wrong and medieval armies professionalized quite a bit at the end.
Is there anything worse than this? A retard ending a debate with "I win" before I even get a word in eh. I can't even begin to describe how stupid this person was.

Anyway, no God.
>>1306216
i deeply feel like as if there is someone controlling my life. its like "lets make anon cry today. lets make anon get in trouble." I swear to god, my soul is resonating sometimes in sync with the universe and I legit get premonitions now about the future. It's like I almost fully recognize the pattern. I usually get these premonitions asking myself "what does god want for me right now?" And I have been eerily predicting things now. I wonder how far I can go until I'm nothing but a jaded soul.
>>1306224
God isn't messing with you. He Loves you.
Can an omniscient God and free will coexist? If God both knows and created everything, then did He created us knowing that we will deny Him and burn in hell?
>>1306144
Nice dubs.
I think both existing is paradoxical, especially if you also invoke that God is supposed to be "all good."
But christfags are just going to >muh god and say we can't understand it so it's pointless to argue.
In Zoroastrianism there is an opposing evil force the opposite of God does that answer anything?
>>1306314
That would resolve the problem but Christianity is not dualistic. Personally, I think it is important to limit God's attributes. Jung for example thought of God as not being unchanging and all-good. Instead he thought God was undergoing individuation through history just as we are.
Was Nietzsche the 'Ayn Rand' of the 1800s? His ideas (master/slave morality, will to power, etc.) all seem to favor the strong (edgy) individual over the weak members of society.
>>1306095
He wasn't considered a political thinker in his lifetime really.
>I have found strength where one does not look for it: in simple, mild, and pleasant people, without the least desire to rule—and, conversely, the desire to rule has often appeared to me a sign of inward weakness: they fear their own slave soul and shroud it in a royal cloak (in the end, they still become the slaves of their followers, their fame, etc.) The powerful natures dominate, it is a necessity, they need not lift one finger. Even if, during their lifetime, they bury themselves in a garden house!
(Friedrich Nietzsche. Nachlass, Fall 1880 6 [206])
Obviously it favors the strong over the weak, as it can be read on the §2 of The Antichrist. But there is still the question of how we should interpret what Nietzsche means by weakness and strongness, if he is thinking merely of the body or instead of the will itself, which as the whole nature of something includes the body but doesn't limit itself to it. As he said in >>1307457, sometimes the external strongness can be a shield to inner weakness.
