The Vikings tried Canada, and they were killed off presumably.

he was just bitter because Hegel fucked a young girl he was trying to get at before him.

No he didn't. The hedgehog dilemma was something he came up with on the spot trying to get into a blonde's undergarments, and she rejected his manlet ass.
The most important question you can ask is whether or not God exists, because that would determine whether death is nothing or a potential eternal punishment/reward. Discuss.
You're asking whether heaven or hell exists, not whether god does, they can be mutually exclusive.
>>431434
True, though that seems less probable.

People fail to appreciate the poetic language of religious texts, and how they explain human nature.
For example: I believe that Jesus was real and was really crucified and resurrected.
Jesus preached charity, egalitarianism, taught that good works help the world, preached against earthly titles, and taught that you should resist hedonistic desires.
Now you can follow Jesus' teachings and believe that He was crucified and resurrected. Or you can believe that Jesus didn't exist. His preachings,...

Ok so, I've read Augustine's Confessions and some of Kierkegaard's books. Being an atheist myself, I was very surprised of how beatiful the life of a christian can be, thanks to the christian morality and the austhere peace of a life devoted to faith. I really feel changed after these readings; even though I can't have faith in a religious God, I'm starting to repulse lots of futile desires and I'm replicing stupid hobbies with meditation and reading.
Where I can continue my pursue? I feel like repression and austerity really helps my quest...

Epicrueanism and Stoicism.
Here pal:

Meant to say check out Epicetus and Stoicism, the link confused me.
>>431035
I find Kirkeegaard easier to be relevant to atheism rather than Christianity. I doubt very many Christians would be fine with his anti-clergy stance. One can read his work metaphorically or by taking his concept of Faith and applying it to one's own creeds rather than a distant God. If you do this his words make perfect sense.
What are your thoughts?
Depends on the subject.
Can analytic philosophy explain love?
Why do i see people spamming the same fucking shit threads all day?

>Can analytic philosophy explain love?
It can, but it depends on what kind of explanation you want. Do you want the scientific explanation, or the phenomenological explanation?
How did they manage to survive the fall of Soviet Union?
They were never a part of the Soviet Union and didn't undergo the social movement that swept Eastern Europe after the Berlin wall fell.

See, this is weird. By all means, NK ought to be SHREKD by the fall of the USSR. Its whole economy was dependent on them.

What are some examples of colors having an important role in a culture?
Blue among the Tuareg and in Judaism
Green in Islam
Red in China

Purple is the Royal Color in Ancient Greco-Roman and classical world. Due to the fuck-expense of acquiring a specific type of purple: Tyrian Purple. Purple became associated with Nobility/Royalty in Yurop.
In China and large bits of East Asia, Yellow is the Royal Color. This is due to Ancient China and is based on two things
1) Color of Gold
2) The Yellow muddy color of the Huanghe river: the valleys that run through it being the homeland of the Chinese race, in which their legendary first Emperors -most...

Inca
Gold =solar significance, called "sweat of the sun"
Silver = lunar significance, called "tears of the moon"
Aztecs
Jade = represents fertile earth
Turquoise = represents water/sky
The emperors' speech in illustrations would be shown as a blue scroll emanating from the mouth, symbolizing his divine authority.

That's interesting, thank you
I read an article about ultramarine blue. During Renaissance it was considered the color of the vest of Mary, related to humility and holiness. The pigment was made by grinding lapis lazuli extracted from caves in Afghanistan and browght to Europe by Italian merchants. It was extremely expensive and it was a true object of desire for every artist. Michelangelo didn't use any ultramarine on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel since he was the one paying his matherials, but...

Who invented modern underwear? Was it just loincloths before? Were the Spartan warriors freeballing?
>>429902
>Modern Underwear
The 19th Century Europe.
During the medieval ages, Bras and panties were around, though garterless and secured by other means. So too was this big onesie underdress
>>429943
In the East (well, China really), women had a loincloth and this bra/tank top thing called a dudou. Which is a sheet that is secured via a system of strings and supports the breasts.
It is currently undergoing a modern revival of sorts as a lingerie/tank top. Pic related.
In before the Lengburg castle 'bra and panties'
Its not a bra, it's part of a linen under dress with the bottom part removed. The pants are mens pants similar to the ones seen in dozens of paintings of stripped male martyrs.
How is WWII taught in Germany and Japan? What about Fance and Italy?
>>429835
German here:
Hardly any. In school itself I hardly learned anything about WWII itself, it's more focused on the state of the third Reich.
You have to understand the way history is thought in Germany though:
From year 5 (approximate age 10) to year 10 the churriculum is teaching history backwards, so in year 5 you have stone age and neolithic revolution, year 6 is old Greece, year 7 the Roman Empire, 8 the middle ages (mostly HRE), 9 the 19th century and 10 the 20th. However alot of it is up to the individual...

German was viewed as the primary antagonist of world war 2. The result is that they were treated harsher in the post-war world. Germany was subjected to de-nazification processes which were meant to re-educate people. It was a bit of a hypocracy tho because in some places were competent organizers were needed, some of the war era nazis were just allowed to keep their jobs if there was a shortage of organizers.
Add to that the Korean war, in which Japan suddenly found itself as the primary base for Allied military...

France here
Basically, we heroically stood against the Germans but lost because of British betrayal.
Then we resisted for 4 years until we liberated ourselves (with little help from USA) in 1944 and invaded Germany
What would have happen if Napoleon had won Waterloo and set his gaze on the new world?
Considering the good relations with the americans due to the help of France for their war of independance less than 50 years ago would that friendship still had remained?
Or would he had conquered the rest of the known world?
>>429386
He would have probably freed Quebec that is for sure.
>>429386
>What would have happen if Napoleon had won Waterloo
He'd have lost the next battle
War was unwinnable (pic related)
For Napoleon to remain in power, you have to go as far as the 1812 disaster
If he hadnt invaded Russia, he probably wouldnt have been defeated
>>429403
alright lets say he won all the known battles in Europe and didnt invade Russia in winter.
What then?

Are the mind and body separate?
Well we have the brain, when people think you can see different portions of their brain light up with activity when its scanned. Of course I'm not familiar with the arguments for the mind being separate so I'm still open to the possibility that the mind could exist separate but as of now I see no reason why it could
Which mind?
