The thing is, most of the stuff he got right is seen as so "obvious" now that it seems trivial.

Freud popularized the idea that childhood traumas can effect behavior later in life.

How controversial are we talking here?

Is it "Trannies aren't as widespread as people think they are and the practice should be discouraged" controversial or "GAS THE KIKES, RACE WAR NOW" controversial?

>so Russia is referred to as the "motherland" right?
only in english
in russian, the country would be otechestvo, which has roots from the same word as father, or rodina, meaning birthplace

Philosphy majors are easily triggered.

I found out that george III was rumored to have said

"if he does so, he will be the greatest of man"

in reference to George Washington choosing to not exceed his two terms as president (which he could have done easily)

Also, there was a planned military coup that the continental army wanted washington to lead and march on congress (basically making himself king)

Washington shut it down

Find a French scientist or engineer, give him the chemistry book and the pistol so he could reverse engineer it, watch as Napoleon comes to dominate Europe in a few months. Also give Napoleon the Tom Cruise bio for manlet motivation.

Drop the Tom Clancy book in any good library in an English speaking country to warn them against the dangers of communism and Marxism.

Get the business book to Russia so they'll learn about markets and gradually liberalize their economy and society.

According to Derrida, nothing exists outside the text, so you can justify a belief by the scientific method or by kabbalah and you're equally justified in believing it either way. There's no such thing as real wisdom, it's all a play.

It's nonsense, its an esoteric interpritation of the torah, basically they just making shit up. There is ''self help'' shit attached to it, similar to hermeticism, in the end it's either just a novelty or a path to foolishness nigga.

Neither, it's because they had better nutrition than the Romans because many of them were hunter gatherers or pastoralists, and agricultural societies were always shorter and more malnourished.

Romans had just as much Neanderthal ancestry as the Germanic tribes, and having that ancestry wouldn't have made them taller since Neanderthals were shorter than Sapiens.

no. it was because their diet was based on fish, meat and dairy products like southern europe's was on wheat.

What makes you think other Europeans didn't mate with neanderthals?

They were farmers. They would kill samurai by sneaking up on them when they didn't expect it. They'd also be useful informants cause they could see troop movements and report them to their lords.

The whole all black clad master swordsmans shit is all Hollywood and Japs selling bullshit to the west to make them look cool.

They sprang from some edgy buddhist sect and were hired for political assasinations

A good emperor takes steps to make sure his empire will continue to flourish after his death, Basil only made sure it succeeded in his lifetime and left an heirless throne to his NEET brother and narcissistic nieces.

Alexios was a super emperor because he deliberately chose a superior heir in his son rather than leaving it to his elder daughter's husband. That son also took steps to make sure his wiser and less temperamental son took the throne.

Was Basil's reign the last hurrah for the Byzantines?

Seems like shit went downhill really quickly after he died

M8, Cioran is labeled a "pessimist" by the academics who by and large adhere to speculative idealism. In truth what Cioran would claim (if he had claimed anything of the sort) would be that he was a realist. Much like Schopenhauer before him. From my perspective Cioran would be labeled an existentialist and/or absurdist thinker. I say "thinker" and not a "philosopher", because he was staunchly anti-intellectualist and he opposed any gnoseological systems.
