Are there any good youtube philosophers?
Does Stefan relate the state to his abusive mother?

You first have to establish that there are in fact, youtube philosophers.

Why would such a thing not exist?
If there's one useful contribution /his/ can make it is, I feel, coming to definitive conclusions about the autism-levels of historical figures.
I'll start with this memelord, what's the verdict?
dude's a genius bro
remarkable one at that
watch his interview on edge
>>1002906
Dawkins is an autistic memelord (quite literally( who is only liked by equally autistic meme lords.
He's also duplicitous and deceptive, claiming one minute he's against religion and the next he's not against religion in order to stay PC. And for a guy who seems to think religion needs to stay out of science, he doesn't nearly have as strong an opinion when it comes to science entering on religion's territory.

True everlasting friendship.
what 3 words are the most human ones?
>choice
>ethics
>believing in gods/being spiritual
Fuck
Kill
Food
>>1002544
>>believing in gods/being spiritual
>A word
>>1002546
This pretty well sums it up.
Maybe 'dominate' might fit instead of kill, killing is just a means to that end.
Is mutually assured destruction still a think?
If there was a rogue nuclear missile launch from a sub or a Russian silo, would America just take it? Or would we immediately strike back?

A general topic concerning Italian history from Pre-Historix times to the end of the Samnite Wars. I myself have a few questions regarding Italy before Roman domanance.
Where exactly did the Etruscans come from and why did they die out during imperial times?
What relationship did the Etruscans have with the neighboring Celts?
Lastly, aside from Magna Graecia, what role did Italy have, if any, in importance to events in the near east prior to the rise of the Romans?

it may be a pre-indo-european neolithic farmer language that survived the indo-european invasions

Was he honestly a bad guy?
No one ever said he was.

He wasn't as Bad as Batista from a non-American Neutral Point of View but at the same time a Brutal Dictator from a non-Communist Point of View
Isn't he still alive?

>>1002264
>i am a /pol/ historian, please pay attention to me
>>1002290
Yeah sorry I should have clarified: I am very critical of said movements, just interested in how they re-create certain visions of history through use of the internet/memes
So like, as a hypothetical example, looking at how Holocaust deniers use the massive ms paint red-line images to prove that hitler is a dindu nuffin etc and what the implications of that are
Who was a worst leader of Russia? Stalin for sure killed most people but he won the war against like literal Nazis so he can't be the bad guy.
>>1002035
It was more a case of Hitler losing than him winning.
>Give Half Poland to Hitler
>GiveHitler all the fuel needs to invade France
>Give Germany the fuel they needs to invade you
>Holy Shit, why are the Nazis invading us!
In terms of incompetence - Gorbachev
In terms of turning Russia into an autocratic shithole forever - Ivan Grozny

A French dude who conquered Western Europe for the lulz

The Western part became a successful nation known as France
The Eastern one became a failure known as the >H>R>E.
Until France destroyed it that is. After that, it became an edgy thing called "Germany" that swore to destroy Europe

Are you talking about Muhammad?
I'm pretty sure Muhammad fucked a 9 year old girl, I don't know if he fucked any little boys though.

Is a person with more achievements superior to a person with less achievements?
For example. Is the big time businessman with a Phd, that is making tens of millions, superior to someone making minimum wage with a high school education?
Is the former a more worthy and better person?
No, because the very concept of universal worth is a spook.
But he is more valuable to society as a whole than the minimum wage worker
In the existentialist view? No.
Having said that I find company much more fulfilling with blue collars as opposed to middle management. One gets shit done and the other does jack shit.
A subjective question. If it were objectifyable then a discussion could be held. Proper picture though.
If you could sit down and hsvr dinner with any three dead people from history, who would you choose?
Mohammed, Jesus and Moses. Most to see if anyone but Mohammed would turn up.
That depends. What's the occasion? Easter?
>>1001556
Voltaire, Charlemagne, Caesar.
Just to see the ensuing shitflinging.
