I haven't watched it, but Germany doesn't have any realistic means of knocking out the UK, let alone the U.S.
The only way they "win" WW2 is to knock out the Soviets, build up a huge fortress Europe, endure strategic bombing for a couple of years, and eventually sign a peace when it becomes clear they aren't going anywhere (and even this is a huge longshot)
In that time, the U.S. uses and deploys the atomic bomb, rendering large areas of Continental Europe baking, irradiated...

>One could, of course, simply deny that reality has such an subjective part. And there are philosophers who deny it - Daniel Dennett, for one. Dennett refuses to concede that consciousness contains any intrinsically qualitative elements. As far as he is concerned, "qualia" are a philosophical myth.

I both agree and disagree.
It's pretty clear that empirical science has yielded results in the material world that are undeniable.
But at the same time, concluding that consciousness doesn't have any intrinsically qualitative elements seems like a very very naive thing to do.

Your quotes only indicate that two sides disagree with one another. Nobody is getting BTFO, those are just statements of positions on one of the openest questions in the world.
>>426149
The contention that science cannot explain the intrinsic nature of reality just because it can describe it very well is a sound one
Has there ever been any philosophy that accuratly describes the human psyche and is scientifically supported?
Same goes for a test that quantifies intelligence

IQ tests

Pick one and only one
>>425448
I pick both, because that's the truth. IQ is widely accepted as a valid way to quantify intelligence in the expert community. The only people who deny the validity of IQ testing are laypeople.

So it looks like the Romans made it to Canada. We now have conclusive proof of an old fringe theory.

roman ships had troubles sailing around the Mediterranean let alone the Atlantic, why would a well documented civilization like rome not keep any record of such an expedition?
what incentive would they have had to sail westward into infinity?
>>424991
>why would a well documented civilization like rome not keep any record of such an expedition?
Isn't it widely agreed that the sources we have from Roman times, although numerous, are just a drop in the bucket. Most lost to the times?
>what incentive would they have had to sail westward into infinity?
Maybe the expedition was carried to America in a series of unfortunate/unforeseen events. Like a storm bringing the vessel way of course or some...

That's a funny way to spell NATO.
So I was having a discussion with a friend and the topic of spears in medieval warfare came up.
My question is this: did plate armoured soldiers (knights/men at arms/ect) commonly utilize generic spears on foot? I almost always see them depicted either on horseback or using some other form of pole arm. Where there many who fought with shield+spear or just spear?
I am specifically interested in the 14th century, but answers for other time periods are also nice.
Why have a spear when you can have a halberd which combines three weapons into one?
>>424165
Where are you drawing the line between "spears" on one hand and "pikes" on the other?
Because pikes were fuck ass common.
As for the other question, about the shields? Once you had plate armor, shields almost disappeared. Two major reasons for that:
1) If you have plate, chances are, the guys you're fighting also have plate. You're going to need a weapon that can get through that shit, which usually means 2 handed to generate enough power.
2) Less marginal...

Pretty sure plate armor hadn't developed to the full one we know in 14th century yet. Also it was expensive as hell, naturally, so not every footman (if any at all) could use it.
Who ruled the skies during WWI?
>>423520
At the start of the war France held the highest amount of military planes in service, at around 140.
UK was second with 120.
France already partially knew the advantages of air support because of their recent colonial conflicts.
But you really have to specify a period for me to give your a question a more specific answer.
>>423534
More specific: who used their infant air force most effectively to support the war effort as a whole and which nation won the most air battles
>>423520
No one
French, Brits, Germans sometimes met, but no one constantly dominated the sky
Who were some historical autistic people? I know Thomas Jefferson, and Issac Newton were.
Pic related was likely autistic as well.
King Ludwig II of Bavaria was schizoaffected. Today he might of been labeled an autist due to his behavior.
>>423272
is that the "mad" "prince" Ludwig with the sweet Bavarian castle?
>>423272
The evidence for that is sketchy though, because most of it was assembled to get Bavaria out of debt.
Can any /his/torians explain why the ROI - NI border does this?
>>421991
iirc at least one of those parcels of land traded places based on the result of a board game.
I think the area is a backwater so the central authorities don't give a fuck if a few thousand locals are massively inconvenienced
>>421991
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_Boundary_Commission
TL;DR: The border just goes along the lines of the six counties. There is no particular reason for that retarded section that relates to modern history.
It is very likely that already existed as part of the boundary between two counties before partition.
I'm sure there is a historical reason for it, but almost certainly not one that relates to the 20th century conflict in Ireland
>>421991
Well, we tried to settle on an agreement with the British on a basis of "economic, self-determination, ethnic considerations", but the Brits went back on their word and we'd have lost land in Donegal where a large Protestant population was rather than gaining land, so we just kinda said "nah fuck it just leave it like it is".
The border is incredibly porous, and almost led to direct conflict between Irish and British forces during the Troubles (there was a bridge the British intended to...

I have some questions too:

-Are all of them muslim?
-Where did they come from?
-Are they bro tier?
>>420737
>-How is relations between them and ruskis?
To answer that you have to remember that there are two well-known Tatar nations not that closely related to each other: Kazan Tatars and Crimean Tatars. Kazan Tatars, being an enclave in Russia, are generally okay with them but not exactly fully supportive, as far as I know.
Crimeans fucking despise Russians because only after Ukraine got independence they were actually allowed to come back, and Russians, especially ones who moved to Crimea...

Also, from my experience, Caucasian Muslims(chechens, Dagestanis) are extremely Muslim, even the younger generations. Why is this different than Tatars?

Louis XVI did nothing wrong.

> Louis XVI did nothing wrong.
He did support thirteen colonies though, he clearly deserved everything.
Before Robespierre people were being executed daily by the Commune based on nothing but disparaging press articles, while the country was descending into total chaos of both civil and foreign war with no economy or revenue to speak of. Robespierre restored order and likely saved France.
>Louis XVI did nothing wrong.
Louis XVI did everything wrong, but I don’t see what that has to do with Robespierre who only came to power after Louis had been executed.

Them being barbarians is a bluepilled meme. They actually had an empire which was quite comparable to the Romans, but due to Jews gaining power in the Empire and infiltrating the Church, many of the great germanic philosophers and Histories have been lost.
