He's asking about the history of an ancient land, not how evil le big bad Jews are.
If morality is just a spook does that mean slavery is ok?
>>891453
Yes, but so is genocide.

Slavery is a spook.

What made them any better than other mercs?
Hardy and resourceful, came from a culture were they would have been fighting since children, badass Celtic warriors, why would you not want to hire that?
>>891449
I wonder how bizarre they must have looked to continental Europeans

Mercenaries were in demand. Case closed.
So, what are the biggest misconceptions that people have about the Wild West?
Of course the term itself is sort of loaded and artificial but hey, share your gripes
>>891434
Isn't it just about everything? As far as I know, most Wild West stereotypes were created by Buffalo Bill's show of the same name.

>what are the biggest misconceptions that people have about the Wild West?
US kept its treaties with Indians.
>>891434
That cowboys were marauding heroes instead of people who spent 90% of their time herding cows and the remaining 10% screwing whores. That life was really exciting and violent instead of boring, hard work. That Dodge City was a dangerous town where people got shot every day when there was really only a murder every month.
Has philosophy ever been important or relevant to anyone besides the privileged upper class? Seems like a rich boys hobby, at its heart.
You serious nigga?
There's been plenty of philosophers who were basically poor beggars
Just as an example from the Greek world: Diogenes
>>891199
Diogenes chose to live like that. He didn't come from a poor family.
>>891184
To ask what does it mean to be a good man, what should I do, who should I be are all philosophical questions. Everyone, whether explicitly or implicitly uses ethical thinking to operate. Being aware of ethics explicitly helps one in everything they do in life.
>>891184
Yeah, think Marx and socialism, or the Enlightenment and liberalism.
Funny enough, these ideologies played roles in toppling some privileged upper classes and instating others.

Do the generals of WW1 get undeserved hate? Are the blood of unnecessary deaths on their hands, or is that just hindsight and underestimation of how hard it was for militaries to adjust to the new realities of 20th century industrial warfare?
Which generals do you think adapted well, quickly, and minimised losses? Which generals do you think were incompetent and deserve the moniker of "donkeys leading lions"?

ghey
The argument is valid, so which premise is false?
compellingtruth.org
>>890629
Neither. The only argument to be made is to what caused the universe to exist.
>C comes after 2
Anyway just because the universe exists, doesn't mean it has a cause. That's the false premise.
Also we don't fully know if we exist, false vacuum and whatnot. However to be fair, we might as well live like we do.
Also it'll probably piss Catholics off, but the Big Bang is a pretty bad description for the beginning of the universe. Prior to the expansion of the universe everything was so hot and condensed that it's figuratively impossible for us to comprehend since it no longer obeyed our...

Why doesn't he ever get talked about that much ?
We have tons of documents,books,movies and etc on Hitler and a fair amount on Stalin, but this guy never gets talked about much in general. Its like he's barely even acknowledged.
>>890525
His role in historical is dramatically overshadowed by others in his time.
>>890525
It's harder to use him to push a political narrative.
>>890525
He's more talked about than Stalin here tho. There's literally a thread about him every third day. Hell if you ignore meme references, he's more talked about than fucking Hitler here.
What is the past the edge of the universe? Nothing? Does it even exist?
For the sake of debate this isn't referring to the "observable universe"
We have no way of knowing until we either figure out how to observe it or come up with a unified field theory.
Sorry for the boring answer.

Here's a really abstracted explanation, about exactly this question.

I actually just watched this before posting.
I didn't like the first half of the video where the guy said "we can't find out because our telescopes/ ships are too slow and the universe expands with time."
The part about the universe being a hypersphere was interesting but I really want to believe that universe has an end.
How could it be said that eating meat was vital for the human species when from prehistoric times through the ancient civilisations and middle ages the vast majority of the population was almost completely vegetarian or (in more arid areas) vegan? Until the advent of industrial farming in late 19th century, throughout the vast majority of farming cultures animal products(probably with the exception of milk) were an extreme luxury only accessible to nobles, and only available to the rest of the population during ceremonies and religious holidays?
Nnot to mention the average...

Most of human history is pre Neolithic. We were hunter-gatherers.
As for medieval peasants, look at their heights and life spans.

CROMAGNIDS, AND NEANDERTHALIDS, FEEL COMPELLED TO RATIONALIZE THEIR PREDILECTION FOR FLESH IN A WORLD WHICH IS INCREASINGLY BECOMING AWARE OF ANIMALS AS FELLOW BEINGS.
Had the U.S joined the Central Powers would they have won?

if not for France fucking it all up
What went wrong?
>>889981
They've stopped doing revolutions every few decades to get rid of unwanted element and corrupted elites.
A great military history before 1940, too bad people only remember them for their loss in 194O And French Military meme born since that time
>>889981
Literally everything. France died at Waterloo
What was the best thing before sliced bread?
Sliced porridge.

Aaron Burr, sir.
My name is Alexander Hamilton, I have been.. looking for you.
I sometimes wish the Burr conspiracy had panned out, maybe not to its fullest extend, but it would have been interesting to read about his attempted conquest of northern Mexico.

You fought the Bursar?
