"See, all these contemporary or near contemporaries that don't mention Jesus didn't have a reason to. They we're Roman historians who wouldn't have much interest in a Jewish rebel."
Isn't this just going in circles? Detractors argue that we can't trust Gospels has a source of historical evidence but people who believe Jesus existed argue you can't trust the historians and their lack of interest. Which is the correct one?
If they don't have much interest in Jewish rebel, how come Pilate executed Jesus personally?

Josephus wasn't a contemporary. He was born about four years after Christ's death.
The incentive to write the gospel's was to create a religion centered around the peasantry, as a big FUCK YOU to rome.
>>1329974
also josephus was a jew
an upper class roman jew
but still a jew
and so he had incentive to mention early christians
who were jews
Why bother with ethics when EVERYONE worships power in the end?
You take any guy who did bad things (whether mostly petty bad things like Steve jobs or full on extreme end of the spectrum like George bush or even Napoleon or Stalin) and soon enough they'll be respected and liked by most people.
This question may sound edgy but are ethics just a way to oppress the weak?
>>1329948
Hello Stirner, nice meme. I think I'll take it.
If you are too blatant about it people will resent you.
If you want to exercize raw power best to convince everyone that you are doing some right. Enough people that the other side can't dictate the narrative.
ethics are a way to oppress people who don't follow our social contract. i don't see them as a way to pick on the weak so much as pick on the different.

Did war medics treat enemy soldiers as well?
>>1329928
No they disregarded their training and shot them on sight.
Of fucking course they did when the battle was over.
There's no single answer.
It varies upon time, country, and even unit or combat envorinment.
Typically, a nation's armed forces provides medical assistance to its enemies when it is far more prosperous than its enemy, and often has a larger edge in the conflict. For example, it has been the US's policy on the issue ever since WW1.
When two large nations that are in a very even war and neither side can afford to spare the slightest of resources to do anything that does not directly involve the war, then this shit doesn't happen. Like in the Eastern Front of WW2.

Hey /his/, all this Brexit talk has got me wondering, is there a book out there on what life was like in America in the years immediately following their Independance Day?
A whole lot of shooting, being that they had to go to war to actually enforce it.

Superb
has anybody though that maybe magic is real in the sense that belief can make miracles?
what if God is real if a group of people believe in him?
what if a God stop existing when humans stop believing in him?
What if pol has created a God that can make miracles?
Wise frogposter.

This would be a powerful tulpa that would be possible due unknown, supernatural mechanics in universe. Or maybe a poltergeist given too much attention.
this is literally how god is understood in my country
is this an unheard of concept to burgers?
/pol/ here, redpill me on joan the heretic
>>1329618
She was braver than almost all knights in history. She's a role model to both men and women throughout history. Calling her a heretic is insulting and filled with agenda.

Only when we are all one race, one culture, speaking one language, one religion (atheism) have one world government and have ascended past the shackles of capitalism to synthesize a greater system of wealth creation.

Why did all the centers of antiquity (Iraq, Syria, Egypt, Greece etc.) degenerate to such a great degree? Only Italy and China (and perhaps India) seemed to avoid this fate completely
I highly doubt Western Europe and the US will fall so low even if they lose their current status
>>1329573
>Western Europe
Spain and Portugal say hello m8
Also in the case of Italy it would be a third world country if it wasn't for the North
The things that made a country good during the Bronze Age don't matter as much now.
Specifically, proximity to river valleys where high population density could be achieved with primitive agriculture.
Nowadays, what's important is the state apparatus that regulates the economy.
Only Western European cultures, and people imitating Western European cultures have really gotten good at that.
They were overrun by barbarians who had a stronger motivation (grabbing some usable land) than their highly cultured victims (doing artsy things)
What's war actually like for a high ranking general? I know they're not supposed to get close to the action like Rommel.
Do they just sit in a tent and move toy soldiers around a map all day?
>>1329554
>a tent
An office.
Chill in a comfy seat staring at maps and eating good food. If your side wins the war you become president, if you lose you kill yourself.

In short, they make grand-scale decisions for their troops by all the information filtered by their subordinates.
The orders will be delivered to lower-level commanders like colonels etc. and so on who actually know how to execute these orders with their regiments, companies etc.
I see these scenarios/"problems" a lot in news media. Are they really a problem? Isn't this an open and shut case?
To me it seems crystal clear what the self-driving car should do in case of an accident. Prioritize the safety of its passengers. When you buy a gun, you don't want it to shoot you when you're in danger. You want the gun to shoot the person I'm targetting. In the case of the car, everyone wants the $50,000 car they bought to protect them. Like everything with self-determination and limited agency, we are all responsible for our...

What scenarios you stupid sperg?

Ethics of self-driving car, specifically the actions it should take during accidents that involve multiple humans
>>1329563
It sounds like less of a problem than with human drivers. In fact that article agrees; we have "time to get it right."
>Going completely off, to me, it seems the "problem" is not self-driving cars, but rather liberals/liberal media and their lack of sense of personal responsibility and rights.
Literally what the fuck are you talking about?
Why is Mahan so misunderstood? Is it because people who like military history, especially naval history, tend to be fucking retards?
>>1329462
Who the hell misunderstands Mahan? He articulated a shitty outline for naval strategy, which lasted as long as it did because there weren't competing visions.
>>1329472
Well you did end up answering the question, just not in the way you expected.
>>1329480
Seriously, Mahanian doctrine is shit, not the least because in the 17th and 18th centuries he grounded most of his work on, actually controlling commercial lanes through swapper was nigh impossible.
He completely ignores the effect of the railroad on international commerce and thus power, (explain the rise of Russia in Mahanian theory), and even in its own terms, it's shit.

Now listen here nignog: kek
Now listen here nignog: Noblemen never used longbows.
Patroclus: Y-yes they did
Now listen here nignog: They were literally only used by goddamn vagrants.
Patroclus: FUCK YOU, I'M GOING TO PUT THIS QUESTION ON /HIS/ AND SEE IF I GET ANY ANSWERS
Did European noblemen use longbows, /his/?
