Where does Evola get the basis of [traditional values]? Do we assume we receive it from God or it's some other base source that I haven't read about?
I mean, I like what he's selling, but I have no idea where he's getting all these [traditional values] from.
>>276033
His own brain, just like any philosopher.
I know for you relgiousfags it's hard to grasp this concept, but human beings can make up their own ideas without some imaginary influence from the skies.

I get that he pre-packs a sample of these make-your-own values, but I don't find a compelling argument on why I should buy what he's selling other than I /like/ it.

Does anyone know of the Integralistas and the party founder Plínio Salgado?
They're frequently called the Brazilian Nazis, but it is a grave misnomer. The Integralistas mirrored Portugal's Lusitan Integralism and Italian Fascism, advocating Roman Catholicism, National Syndicalism, spiritualism and opposing racism and materialism. One of the chief divisions as a mass movement was the Jewish question. Although Salgado wasn't against Jewish involvement (he firmly believed the problem of the world was ethic, not ethnic), his successor Gustavo Barroso fomented antisemitism, authoring the Portuguese translation of The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion. The party received strong support from both Italian immigrants and Black workers, most notably João Cândido Felisberto who campaigned against torture as punishment and petitioned for better living conditions for sailors. He famously seized two battleships in a revolt, earning him respect from his fellow sailors who donned him "Almirante Negro" or "Black Admiral".
In the meantime, enjoy some party propaganda and photos.

Hannibal
Scipio
Pompey
Caesar
Napoleon
All of them great generals in their own right and deeply admired Alex as the GOAT general (I'm probably missing some)
Which ones do you think surpassed him?
>>275919
surpassed Alexander? no one, ever.
he defeated every single one of his enemies, no matter the superior positioning or numbers of the enemy. he fought hundreds of battles, brought the greatest empire then known to heel, and conquered virtually all of the known world all before he was 33.
he was literally the perfect general. no one will ever claim his title as "the greatest general", and no one will ever be more successful than him.
none of them

Does anyone here actually believe in Modal Realism? Can this be used to justify escapist fantasies that anime and Middle Earth are real somewhere?
>>275752
They might be real, but you're not in them.

MODAL REALISM AND MANY WORLDS ARE NOT THE SAME THING
MODAL REALISM IS ARGUING THAT COUNTERFACTUALS BEING CONSIDERED REAL (IN THE SENSE OF MATHEMATICALLY "REAL") HELPS ACCOUNT FOR SOME PROBLEMS WITH MODAL LOGIC
MANY WORLDS IS PSEUDO-PHYSICSY HIGH SCHOOL STONER TIER NONSENSE
DAVID K LEWIS WAS A MODAL REALIST AND DID NOT BELIEVE IN THE MANY WORLDS INTERPRETATION IN ANY WAY

For a right-wing glorifying site like 4chan there is surprisingly little mention of this man. Was he really an evil mastermind or just a wannabe bumbler?
He was effective at rallying a populace and making people feel like communism was old school stuff. Things probably would have turned out fine for him if the world wasn't in the shape it was in. Despite the rhetoric, war was something he couldn't do. His ideology gutted the military at the same time it glorified it.
He was however a living cartoon character and I'm glad he existed.
>Was he really an evil mastermind
He pioneered fascism, that says enough.

>For a right-wing glorifying site like 4chan
That's really only /pol/'s stormniggers. The rest of 4chan just thinks Hitler is funny and edgy, and Nazi uniforms and shit look cool.

Is morality learned or innate?
>be me
>coach always hands out articles with inspirational/attitude related stuff at team meetings
>big preacher of honesty, integrity, etc
>today gives us one about how people are too focused on "their story"
>i.e. people always try to relate things to past experiences
>he said you can tell someone's "story" by watching them for like ten seconds
>article said you should try living each day as if you had no knowledge of your past
>coach implied this would like reveal who you really are or something
>i'm lowkey confused
>think about how I value things like honesty and hard work now but didn't a few years ago
>would it be ingrained enough to stick with me if I got amnesia?
>which led me to the question:
Are you born with a moral compass or is it taught?
>pic unrelated
A little of both, like everything. A lot of it is adaptive behavior to living in a tribe of similar humans, but the a lot of the specifics are cultural. Of course you could argue the specifics are just signaling, but that's adaptive in itself.

The problem is that people don't even read his work to begin with. They just think "lol edgy nihilist", when Nietzsche fucking hated nihilism as a philosophy to itself. Nietzsche recognizes it, but his point is to not wallow in the vacuum of purpose, and rather fill it with your own meaning. Hence the "eternal return."
Quite the opposite of "ow that edge", Nietzsche's work can be boiled down to its very basic root of "go forth and be as awesome and happy as you can be".

Is Nostratic real? Why or why not?
>>274882
It is plausible, makes more sense to me than some other theories.
>putting Afro-Asiatic and Indo-European that far apart when they have the same word for horn
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:Proto-Indo-European/%E1%B8%B1er-
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:Proto-Semitic/qarn-
>>274985
Oddly enough, the page for the Proto-Semitic word gives the possible Indo-European cognate with a link to it, but the page for *ker- in PIE only defines it as 'to grow' or 'to plait', or as an alternate reconstruction of *kerh-, which it defines as 'head, top', although some of the descendant words do mean 'horn'.
