Greece's inhabitants are christian refugees from the ottoman empire that came from the levant and egypt, as well as albanians who occupied the land at the time
The turk rape baby meme is false as these people are descended from neither greeks or turks
Where did the real Greeks go anon?

Constantinople and Izmir hundreds of years prior. It wasn't uncommon for major cities and areas to become depopulated through migration. Rome was depopulated down to a rural village until the Renaissance caused building their for historical reasons, like wise Athens ceased to exist as a city during the greece christian revolt and was only repopulated from investment from the bavarian king for classical reasons
Athens was literally an albanian speaking village when otto I moved his court there

Why humans develope religious beliefs? What is the purpose of these beliefs?
>>877942
Because we are not alone.

What triggered atheists so much today?
Was there any instance when some commander decided to just kill the mercenaries after the job was done instead of paying them?
>>877941
Kill them with whom?
You only get mercaneries if your army sucks or is non existant?
If you liked them enough to use them the first time why would you not want to use them again? Killing them would be stupid.
Why hire mercenaries in the first place if you could kill them?

Was monotheism a mistake?
Pretty much. It made religion boring.
>>877862
That picture was a mistake.

It is, if your goal is to get laid at the temple. Modern pagans (namely Catholics) don't even have that going for them!

Is the law based on God or man?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDBiLT3LASk
Which law retard? Most of the wests laws are based on mose's.
God is based on man. So either way it's still man.

I don't know how people like you remember to breathe.
We all know that 300 is essentially just a fantasy movie, but I want to now how "based" the spartans actually were.
I know they were apparently quite formidable, but in terms of how effective they would be in a large scale battle, were they renowned or well known for fucking people up? Or just pretty tough bastards?
Socrates on the Spartans' obsession for short phrases and economy of words:
"... they conceal their wisdom, and pretend to be blockheads, so that they may seem to be superior only because of their prowess in battle ... This is how you may know that I am speaking the truth and that the Spartans are the best educated in philosophy and speaking: if you talk to any ordinary Spartan, he seems to be stupid, but eventually, like an expert marksman, he shoots in some brief remark that proves you to be only a child".

Also dig up some Lycurgus...

Dramatized, yes. Inaccurate, no. They didn't emphasize the thousands of other Greek troops in support, but they appeared. Spartan culture best culture.

Love that.

Does anyone want to discuss Wittgenstein on a semi, in-depth level. Meaning anything but your general 'gist of it' you got from reading on wikipedia for 15 min.
I'm in the middle of working my way through PI and I've looked at Tractatus in a school setting.
Is there anyone on here who thinks he has a grasp on Wittgenstein, or at the very least someone who won't take extreme pleasure in pretending he does when he actually doesn't?
>>877369
I (OP) am going for a run, optimally someone should have posted their conclusions on Wittgenstein, with support from original text excerpts, when I'm back. But it's not an optimal world so don't let that deter you from posting anything you think is of value.
Wittgenstein thinks like a child. For true knowledge and wisdom you need to study the Qu'ran

Remember! Only YOU can prevent shitpost inflation!
My idealistic definition of art is as follows:
Experimental forms of communication of non-trivial ideas.
Anyone has a better one?
>>877069
>Experimental
Right of the bat, we run into bullshit. Most art is not new, nearly all of it is based on previous methods
>Communication
So art has to have a message? It has to be clear?
>Non-trivial
Defining this is even more complicated than the word art
Artis a diverse range ofhuman activitiesin creating visual, auditory or performing artifacts –artworks, expressing the author's imaginative or technical skill, intended to be appreciated for their beauty or emotional power.
Art is that which does not occur naturally. See: artifice.
>history is a class struggle
Is there any merit to this statement?
Yes, once you stop looking at it as a normative claim.
What about the parts where the castes or classes aren't united fronts and aren't really fighting that much?
>>876555
What do you mean?
>Think of your favorite foreign food.
>Think of the number of the month you were born
You are now the leader of the country that produces that food during the century corresponding to your birth month.
How do you feel and what do you do?
I fuck England, haggis for life

In theory, could Queen Elizabeth dissolve Parliament right now if she really wanted to?
What would impede her if she tried to do so?
>>875723
>In theory
Yes.
>What would impede her
Parliament's army.
>>875736
>Parliament's army.
So what could the monarch use to exert force?
>>875723
>could Queen Elizabeth dissolve Parliament right now if she really wanted to?
In theory, I suppose.
>What would impede her if she tried to do so?
The government and the people.
Is nihilism man's finality?
pic unrelated
Are these digits repeating?
>>875603
Nihilism is the rejection of delusion, and delusion is fundamental to being human. Only a few sad rationalists will ever truly adopt it
Nihilism is a choice. You choose to have purpose in life.
Did he misread Plato?
Be specific. Which aspect of Plato's philosophy is it debated that he misunderstood?
for example?
>>875474
Not that I'd be that surprised, tb completely h. The N word didn't even understand Antigone lmao.
