What is the /his/ take on this guy?
Is there any merit to the ideas he presents?
I don't like him but that quote's pretty trill
>>358339
Is it though? I don't know how much it reflects reality.
The whole "use science for morality" turns into "wow it's fucking nothing" when you find out his points can be summed up to "with the help of neuroscience can approach utilitarianism with higher precision when applied."
Any fans of Dan Carlin's Hardcore History? Love this show! It's so fucking good. What are you guys thoughts?
It's the best audio content for history that I've ever found. Hating Dan Carlin is the in thing on 4chan but don't let that dissuade you. It's good. Anything that gets you engaged in history is a wonderful thing.
>>358306
Kings of Kings got a little convoluted but was still awesome. got hard keeping track of who was who. guess i should just listen to it again
>>358306
Very sloppy with details, lots of misinformation and factual errors. But as popular history it's decent, and Carlin is an excellent storyteller. I listen to him a lot, I just keep in mind to try to pay attention to his broader points rather than his details, which are so very poorly fact checked.
Do you still associate a person's body with "them"?
Would we say that bodies were people if we could transplant brains into other bodies?
What a stupid fucking thread.
What do you mean? Are you implying that the "soul" is separate from the body? Also there is nothing such as a soul, it's a made up concept like god.
>>358244
I take it that you do.
The symbolic environment that we are thrust in situates the body as you while contradicting this by saying it is yours.
But the face only manipulates.

This is the single most dishonest philophical channel I've ever seen. Everything is turned into hallmark wisdom.
why do they suck capitalism's porky, rotten dick so hard?
>>357957
Because they aren't intellectual so sucking something like marxism doesn't benefit them
People generally like to suck things that benefit them (people who suck harmful things are cücks)
hi guys, is morality a social construct?
yes
it also exists
>>357912
Yes, but you need to understand how social construction works. It isn't vulgar individualist idealism. Rather the totality of cultural institutions which exist in permanent conflict produce constructs that lie prior to our conscious being and exist for ALL of us in society simultaneously.
It isn't like word policing, government initiatives, or do-gooders can change the construction of the moral.

can u write this in a "lite" version? my brain not good with words :(

Why couldn't National Socialist Germany just stay within their borders. England and France basically tore up the treaty of Versailles and the armament prohibition on Germany the late 1930s.
he wanted to united the germanic peoples under one flag
>>357830
People have been saying that the NatSoc style of economics necessitated the invasion of other countries. Hitler's justification was that he was saving diaspora Germans from discrimination.
>>357843
Then Hitler should have invited them from their lands to live in the German state. In the same way Israel does today.
Has there ever been a war as pointless as WW1?
For me It has always been much more tragic than any other war because of the trivial nature of the its beginnings. Nobody knew what they were really getting themselves into. The last European conflagration before The Great War was the Napoleonic wars about a century earlier.
There's also an interesting angle to WW1 where its the last war where it was still vogue for rich, royal and prestigious families to send their kids to serve the army. British Prime Minster H. Asquith's son(s) died in the war, along with...

Oh plenty
just not a lot of people died in them

1800s romanticism crashed hard with the brutal industrialism of the 1900s.
Teddy Roosevelt's kid died in WW1 too.
If you could live in any historical place/period with the knowledge you have now, where would it be?
I'd say mid 60s America tbqh

serious question, who owns the moon?
In a diplomatic sense, what advantages does the fact that america was there first do?
>>357634
>who owns the moon
By international treaty nobody.
Do bother to fucking google before you post. Read the fucking sticky.
States aren't allowed to own the moon. People claim they own the moon but those claims aren't recognized by anyone (but themselves).
>>357634
The owner of any piece of land is whoever has the means and motivation to hold it. Right now, the answer is "nobody" because nobody has the means to maintain a presence on the moon nor does anybody have the motivation to try.
What went wrong?

>Syndacalism
Syndicalism.
Apart from the IIeme Internationale betrayals of Syndicalism in Hungary, Italy and France, and the betrayal of the "anarcho-syndicalist" elite of the CNT in Spain?
About as sordid a fucking history as bolshevism, except for murdering comrades for political reasons to support a teetering capitalist state.
Oh wait, the POUM.
As with most political ideas put into practice, a lust for absolute power and the murder of innocent people.

I've been listening to dan carlin's hardcore history podcast for a few weeks. started from the beginning and now i'm almost one with Part 4 of his Ghosts of the Ostfront series about the WW2 eastern front and think it has been amazing. Even the stuff about the Punic Wars which I didn't think I would give a shit about were awesome.
The only thing I don't listen to and literally skip past are his interviews with other historians. Don't care at all for those
What do you guys think of this podcast? Is it just pleb shit or it it widely...

Amusing lies for morons.
Go to bed Dan.

Note to OP: Hating Dan Carlin is a meme
>>357557
He's a really good storyteller. And he enjoys history but he's not a historian and shouldn't be treated as such.
He's a gateway into actual history, but at the end of the day it's entertainment.
