Also, they need to eliminate all of the Native Americans to make room for multiple different Greek civs.

>Persian - Cyrus
>there will never ever be a Sassanid or Safavid civ
Needs more Medieval leaders. Why not William the Conqueror for the French and Charlemagne for the Germans and Henry V for the English and Alexander Nevsky for the Russians?
So what does /his/ think of this book ? (Note that I'm asking /his/ not /pol/)
>>1350742
Pretty bad desu, it uses an outdated theory, geographism than was deemed racist like 40 years ago and uses lots of flawed and uninformed pet theories of the author. For what I recall he had friend or was part of the nature billboard and that's why is so extended.
>>1350742
Never actually read it but from what I heard he seems to make a lot of false assumptions, like the supposed lack of large animals outside Eurasia.
I'm a geography student and my professors consider it quite mediocre.
What do we owe the church of the Middle Ages?
>>1349786
European world dominance
Thanks.
our sense of the futility of a central Christian Church. future Christians will carve their own paths in the Word and in their own pursuit of knowledge of happiness, free from the shackles of dictation and tyranny.

It's just not fucking fair. How do you deal with it atheists?
if you could live your life again in full, exactly as you already have. Would you?
If the answer is no, live your life in such a way that it'd be so. If yes; you have the answer to your questions. It's how Nietzsche dealt with it.
That's why we have to make sure to make THIS world a living hell for all the monsters out there!

But this is wrong anon. Make no mistake; the Lord will repay all men according to their deeds.

Pretty cool. He was probably the last European leader to stand up to liberal globalism.

What can i read to get enlightened about the roots of our enjoyment of plots and characters?
Why do we like and enjoy reading or watching events occur to different characters?
I dont mean just an analysis of what it is that we enjoy, but why we enjoy it. I am sure there might be different approaches to this but is there a name for such questions?
When I write "we enjoy" I mean what most people find enjoyable, the popular.
>>1354026
Ask the people in >>>/lit/.
I know what you mean. Try reading a book for writers and authors about "How to write Characters", something like that. It will definitely touch on some elements of appeal.
>>1354026
Read up on Tolkien and do some research onto his writing process. He utilized a literary genre called mythopoeia, which is essentially world building through the creation of an in-universe mythos.
Hitler, Napoleon, Charlemagne, Caesar or Alexander?

Angela Merkel

Ceaser. He was God's appointed servant and watcher on earth. Hence why the traitors Cassius and Brutus suffer eternal damnation alongside the three headed lucifer.
Why do protectionist fags leave out the part where france became poorer? They already have hamilton so why make up a great finance minister
Because you touch yourself at night.
explain further?
>>1353787
>Open history book
>Colbert was the best finance minister ever
>He invented culture and science and established all french industry
>He made so much industry the bourgeoisie were invented
>The end
Every history book, when in reality france became more in debt, thus more taxed, while the french east india company failed and industrialization began in England. Industrialization even reached belgium before europe's greatest power
Knowledge: My body's behaviour is partially influenced from outside the material world by me (I am an immaterial mind).
Hypothesis: Every adult human's body's behaviour is partially influenced from outside the materialist world by an immaterial mind.
As we all know, there is currently a plausible account of every human body's behaviour which only refers to material causes.
If my hypothesis is true, does it mean that people like Dan Dennett are basically con-men, who have figured out that even though they know old-fashioned dualism is true, they can't lose the game if they just pretend that it isn't?
>>1353626
Not even a materialist, but I don't see how you can come to the conclusion. They probably just don't see what you are taking as evidence for dualism to be evidence for dualism.
>>1353637
>They probably just don't see what you are taking as evidence for dualism to be evidence for dualism.
In my view, they are basically just pretending they don't know why everyone else is deeply unsatisfied by their answers.
They say things like "consciousness is a trick", or "consciousness is an illusion". Now I know a lot about illusions and tricks. But what sort of being I am is not something that could be an trick.
>>1353647
Conciousness itself as it actually exists isn't a trick. People who use the word conciousness for a variety of silly definitions are tricking you, though.
>unsatisfying
"Being alone in the dark is scary" isn't a satisfying explanation for haunted houses, but that doesn't change how true it is.
Where did the widespread tradition of asking a girls hand in marriage from her father come from.
I mean it used to be a thing in europe and asia and still is for some more conservative groups in the middle east.
Because women are property. You can't just take a man's car. You have to ask for it.
>>1353594
Because the man of the house the father, had direct control over the women in their family until they were married

If you are so socially incompetent that you cannot get what you want, what does that say of your beliefs of yourself if you cannot shift them?
Why has modern man rejected occultism?
>>1353571
it doesnt work
>>1353571
The elites haven't. The materialistic atheist kool-aid is only distributed to the masses and mid-level lackeys.
>>1353571
They haven't rejected it at all, it's only evolved. Elites love it. Plebs eat up watered-down, warmed over Theosophy, Kabbalah, and Volkisch tradition to justify their plebby ends. Soccer moms want Fabio. Teens want to summon succubus. Hipsters want to be one with nature. Stormcucks want a BBC to bang their wives. It's endless.
Did this man have the saddest existence in history?

If only there were some way, you could somehow search for an image someone had uploaded. Via some sort of triangle leading to the google image search function. If only this feature were inbuilt into 4chan as a functional and working system.
If only.
What are the most interesting parts in jewish mythology and folklore?
Judaism has demons and demonesses.
I think the most pop ones are moloch(molech), lilith and golem but what else?
I mean ones that are specific to judaism, not christianity.
>nobody has any clue.
Sad...
>>1353110
>>1354023
There's not really any unifying "Jewish" folklore. Jewish folklore in say, 18th century Russia bears a lot of resemblance to 18th century Russian folklore. Jewish folklore in the Gemara is quite similar to contemporary Babylonian/Sassanid folklore.
Comes with being a largely diasporic people, I guess, but there's really very little folklore I can think of as being distinctly Jewish, unless you count various stories of Rabbis being kicked around with miraculous powers, and even then, it's not too different from other stories of wise or learned saintly people with their own supernal abilities.
>>1354047
lets redefine it to thingsd that also appear in the bible or other jewish writings.
Did she really die a virgin?
Yes.
No.
Maybe.
