You're chillen by the Sea of Galilee doing some fishing with your brother when this guy walks up to you and saith unto you, follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
What do?

Hey aren't you John's disciple who is bitterly pissed about the socio-economic conditions of non-hellenized Jews and want to overthrow Roman occupation?
Good luck with that.

You fish fish you retard now fuck off

What should I do with men? Fuck them? I'm not a persian, also why are you white?
What does /his/ think of pic-related?
they are alright
yet lacking any real originality
For briefing on philosophy and history and such, they're okay. In their other videos I think they're too busy trying to forcing their own world view onto you.
>>676634
This. Wish they just stuck to quick overviews of dead people. Then it'd be a good intro channel for newbies.
Was he right?
>>676385
He changed his views significantly over the course of his career. If "right" is a meaningful category, I think he may have gotten closer than he did, given a longer life.
But the question that needs to be asked, to clarify, is : "Was he right about what, OP?"
or alternatively:
"The hell you on about?"
>>676413
Is philosophy just a result of misunderstanding language?
>>676423
I think the academic discipline of philosophy could be views that way without losing any of its significance, function or meaning.
On the other hand, metaphysical reality could be see as existing independently of its communication, yeah?
Does nature have rules?
Yes, energy cannot be created or destroyed

Define rules?

Were there any legitimate kings before Charlemagne?

Were there any legitimate kings after Charlemagne?
Wuz we kangz and shiet?
Considering that Slavs use his name as a word for a king, probably not.
Can Protestantism and Eastern Christianity even be said to be the same religion? I find so many glaring differences in approach to faith and relationships with the Divine that it's hard to imagine they're anything but wildly different worldviews united in name only. Take for example:
>Protestant deemphasis on ritual and sanctified religious buildings
The argument I see in favor of this is that you don't need ornate rituals and decorations in order to be in the presence of God, since He is with you all the time, but I feel...

>Once you are saved you always have His grace, and your relationship with Him should be about living life according to the Bible and submitting to His will.
Now I understand the comforting universal appeal of such a world-view, but honestly it misses the point of what a relationship with God is ACTUALLY trying to achieve, and comes off to me as too superficially contractual. A lot of devout, sincere Protestants go through life always trying to have a relationship with God, but the actual impact it has on how they operate and their ability to...

Protestant here.
We don't deny it's true that we are material creatures, attuned to the material. We do not (except in the most stupid and debased forms of Protestantism) neglect the importance of tradition, church, and even art. We do de-emphasize the ultimate importance of these things purely in themselves, and I think this is a good thing.
For the Protestant there is, as in all spiritual paths, a risk to the soul in using material images, namely, the temptation to (whether explicitly or...

Interesting that you call it "contractual." The Protestant emphasis on faith as the only gateway to salvation is precisely an effort to free our practice from some sort of crude economic exchange of virtue for reward. Once we are assured of our salvation, we aim to act out of love of God, and to give effect to the new, eternal life which has been kindled within us.The best Protestants are always against their guard against complacency, and never are Protestants urged to be satisfied with mere belief.
If you could bring any one person in history to the future to show them how they have impacted the world today, who would you bring?
Pic related, if you didn't know, it's from an episode of Dr. Who where the doctor brings Vincent Van Gogh to a museum where his paintings are on display.

Meme harder. Sure, he was involved in the July plot, but that's after riding Hitler's coat tails for years; shooting Nazi propaganda films, volunteering to head his bodyguards when on international trips, appealing to the Fuhrer to override his Heer superiors when guys like Halder told him he had dumb ideas. The guy was hardly a political innocent.
How come no one remembers Heinrich Luitpold Himmler..for real he help start the damn holocaust
He looked like a nerd
Because they do
Hes probably most famous of the nazis after Hitler

Surely Goering holds that title.

Should the humanities be taught to all members of society? Or should it be the domain of specialists like, in a sense, science? How do you feel about the oft prophesied "death of the liberal arts"?
Pic related, Sophia, goddess of philosophy.

Sorry. Wrong pic.

The western canon is problematic and triggering, we should teach slam poetry instead.
All people should simply be taught literacy and how to learn. Everything else is for fun.
If correlation doesn't equal causation, what does? And why can't you trust it even when variables are isolated? Why statistics?
>>675761
what if they are both caused by the same thing
>>675761
You can't control for all variables till you know all variables. And there are unknown unknowns so this is impossible.

Should the U.S. have annexed the Philippines?

why is that? to get those sweet, sweaty, flip """resources""", what's the point in colonizing if they are going to be a proxy state that nobody gives a shit about
it was a port so that merchants had a place to stop on their way to relevant places

Nah, we just wanted the benefits of being American, like healthcare, better standard of living and shit actually getting done by our politicians.

You think they'd accept the most realistic Revolutionary War film knowing its a musical? None of these millennial plebs appreciate musicals, even the Disney ones.
