Is it true that until the last few centuries people couldn't swim?
>>1302496
there are people in african cave paintings swimming that are about 5-10k years old in what is now the sahara.
black folks been swimming for awhile.
>>1302496
The Gemara in Brachot has a rabbinical argument whether or not teaching your kids to swim is part of the minimum requirement of parental care owed to offspring.
I'm guessing no.
No.
The Bible used to be the linchpin of Western morality, art and literature, but that's passing.
Is there any secular thought to another text that should function as this linchpin? Do you want one? There was a big movement for Shakespeare's corpus to effectively take the place in the Romanticist movement, but that's not as common now except among hold outs like Bloom.
Any thoughts on what would should be THE book?
Tao Te Ching
Capital

what went wrong?

Being German was his first mistake.
Bismarck or the Kaiserreich?
Imperial Germany's weaknesses, that they might've been able to mitigate, all come to Bismarck's decisions. Stuff like their lack of colonies was mostly out of their control, but they kinda tried. Far as I'm concerned, the Imperial State had three distinct issues: particularism, geographic antagonism, and its very constitution.
I once read an article that cited a discussion between French and Russian diplomats in the early 19th century and what would happen if Germany were to unite. They quickly deduced that Germany would expand somewhat at France's expense, and greatly at Russia's. Given that these notions preceded German unification by decades, it's safe to say that German relations with Russia and/or France were always going to end up dogshit eventually. Only thing they got wrong was that mauling France was the catalyst for German unification rather than the result.
German particularism was also a significant issue. In the war between Prussia and Austria, North-German states that didn't go along with Prussia were straight-up annexed for their behavior. This left a lot of Prussians feeling really anti-Prussian. There was also the issue of the Empire, technically, being a formation of individual states with varying degrees of autonomy ranging from the post-office to their own armies. Hitler, for example, was a member of the Bavarian army. There's also the distinct issue of Bismarck viewing Germany as exclusively German and Protestant. His kulturkampf blew the fuck up in his face. He thought he was finding a way to attack the church, but he accidentally armed the socialists with legislative means to attack religion itself.

So with the 201st anniversary of Waterloo tomorrow, does anybody have any suggested readings? Excerpts they'd care to share? Thoughts? Questions? Maybe just shitty memes?
To start: Should Napoleon have won? How easy would it have been for him to win? What would he have needed to do?
who cares lmao

I've always wanted to see the movie Waterloo personally. Everyone goes on about how accurate it is, and I don't think M&B NW is a good substitute.

No. Wellington was the only person who could have beaten Napoleon since he was an absolute madman. If you look at what he really did ( not what most people tell you, that's a major myth) you'll realize he was probably smoking some shit.

Personally, I'm terrified by the level of similarity in cultures known to use them and other psychedelic/hallucinogenic drugs. They just scramble your brain and make you THINK you're communicating with extraneous entities, right? There's nothing to it but pharmacology, right?

Why did he was 1/3 of his entire national budget and all of his French aid on a fucking coronation? I mean, in order to be intelligent enough to become the head of a nation, you must be able to be smart enoug not to spend millions of dollars on a coronation while your country is starving, right?

Please tell me. What was the first tool created by humans?
It was stone chopping tools, right?
It wasn't sticks, yeah?
If it was sticks, we have no way of knowing, because sticks don't generally last millions of years.
You use them to type. :^)
Probably sticks,then rocks.Probably both,but rock carving took a while to start.
It was the ancient rocket pyramids that the great alien race of negus gave us
but then we betrayed them
What's up with Slavid neonazis?
Why would they sympathize with the ideology that tried to wipe them out?
There has to be an historical explanation for this
Soviets were more cruel than nazis
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as slavs, are in fact, ruthenians/eastern germanic descendants of kievan rus, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, east nordids.
Slavs are not a race unto itself, but rather another component of the ethnogenesis of the scandinavian norse germanic people from the migration of the peoples and onward, made historically relevant by the kievan rus settlements in Gardariki by the norsemen who traveled down the Volga and founded both Russia and Ukraine before being christianized by the byzantine empire.
Many eastern germanics speak the artifical glagolithic church language invented by the greek monk Cyrill, which is where the term cyrillics stems from. Before that, they spoke old norse and revered pagan germanic gods.
All the so-called "slavs" are really descendants of eastern germanics. There is objectively no argument to be made against this historical fact.
Thanks for reading, and please refer to them as "eastern germanics" next time you make a "slav" thread.
