I just realized
That sentience is a death sentence
i mean,
reality is configured by how we percieve
and since we're aware and ect we're devolving getting almost dumber
our brains smaller
and we process less
autism used to not exist
until society developed
we're becoming a species of that to our own doing is "Evolving" and having less kids, Sentience
is almost a deathbed and since we have
self recognition
we're doomed we devolve because lower birth rates are tied to evolution
or atleast
human evolution so,...

Jesus learn how to fucking form a coherent string of sentences and get back to us. The only one getting dumber is you.
I hate this solely because it reminds me of slam poetry
before you try to make a point format it appropriately
Why do people say Socrates was the first philosopher when there were plenty of pre-socratic philosophers. Both in Greece and abroad.
>>1280471
He was the first philosopher to define Western philosophy.
Who are "people"?
Because I have never heard anyone call Socrates the first philosopher.
>>1280471
Pre-Socratic philosophers weren't really philosophers because they didn't think about things in a systematic and cohesive way that we would recognise as philosophy. They were 'thinkers'.
Socrates was the first philosopher because he established the foundations of the discipline by pointing out how flimsy the intellectual foundations of the pre-Socratics were, and in doing so asked the fundamental questions that form the basis of philosophy.

I'm from /fit/ and was wondering about ancient Greeks and their's training methods.
What was their's training methods, how did they prepare for warfare and the Olympic games?
Did they trained mainly with their own bodyweight?
Also general history and fitness/sports thread.
(sorry for my English)

Is that pic from some prod propaganda or is it some folk tale? Kinda curious desu.
Are we sure this guy's the real pope? I refuse to believe that the leader of my church and God's mouth on Earth is a Muslim sympathizer and a socialist.
Benedict is still alive right? Maybe he's still the true pope
There have been Popes who very publically disavowed believing in God and held gay orgies in St Peter's Basilica and you're worried that the current one hasn't said #YesAllMuslims yet
>he literally follows the words and deeds of jesus
>wtf why doesn't he sin more?
The Pope is an elected official, famalam. You don't have to like it, it's just how it is.
But as someone who is Christ on Earth, don't you think it'd be a little odd if Christ wasn't a "Muslim sympathizer?" (i.e. has empathy for displaced people)
>were the nazis bad guys?
>was the british empire good or bad?
What the fuck /his/? What is up with these questions? I would like to remind you there is no good or bad in history, judging the past with modern morals is stupid.
The Nazis weren't that long ago senpai
Why you gotta make it worse
Yes.
Good .
Morals transcend history.
How would Iran have turned out if he didn't get coup'd by the CIA?
Bumping for a thread that actually has something to do with history
He was a populist dickhead who used street violence to muscle his way into office and then proceeded to fuck everything up.
Still'd probably beat actual Iranian history though.

a lot less pissed off at the west
Mussolini's quote in pic related was made years after he'd made disparaging remarks about Slovenes and publicly endorsed the idea of an Aryan race.
Did Mussolini ever relax/change any of Italy's repressive policies toward minorities after making the statement in pic related?
>>1278971
No.
liberals actually believe that fascism is only bad because of racialism

Apart from being a Commie, Che was kind of alright.
What is the philosophy of memes /his/? What makes a meme a meme and a dank meme a dank meme?
Kys;
>>1278844
Its power to be memed; indeed, if a meme cant be known and easy shared it cant be a meme.
Do all memes have the form of memes that identifies them as memes?
>You can find men who have gone so far as to profess wisdom and yet maintain that one should not offer violence to one’s own life, and hold it accursed for a man to be the means of his own destruction; we should wait, say they, for the end decreed by nature. But one who says this does not see that he is shutting off the path to freedom.
What did Seneca mean by this?
>>1278783
He is objecting against people who think that it is better to wait out tyrants than to try to overthrow them.
>>1278783
HE MEANT THAT THE CONSCIOUS BEING, BY BEING ESSENTIALLY AGAINST NATURE, MUST STRIVE TO BECOME ITSELF VIA CONSCIOUS DIRECTION OF ITS OWN BECOMING, RATHER THAN LETTING HIMSELF BE DRAGGED BY THE BECOMING OF THE NATURAL, WHICH WOULD BE TANTAMOUNT TO RELINQUISHING HIS CONDITION AS A CONSCIOUS BEING TO THE TORRENT OF NATURE; TANTAMOUNT TO BECOMING AN AUTOMATON.
TRANSCENDENCE OF PRECONDITIONS, BOTH, ONTOLOGICAL, AND NATURAL, IS REQUISITE FOR ACHIEVEMENT OF FREEDOM.
>>1278783
Wise men who condemn suicide are fools. What freedom does a man have if he cannot choose to end the life that belongs to him?
Why Brasilia wasn't as successful as United States? Is that because United States stolen valuable goods from North American natives?
>>1278710
Maybe because it was only a city
For the same reason the UK turned out better than Spain and Portugal.
Effective institutions > Material resources
>>1278710
Well for starters only some parts of America are shitholes and all of Brazil is a shithole
Is this the world's largest and longest-lasting LARP game?
No, that was Christianity.
>>1278376
Well played OP
Any reason for Evangelist Christians to support Israel?
I know they are God's chosen people and he did promise them the land, but whenever they would stop worshiping him or go degenerate he would punish them and sometimes even kick them out of the land.
Modern day Israel do both have a big non Religiously Orthodox Jewish population nor does try to limit homosexuality and other stuff that isn't really well liked in the OT.
Can we get an art thread going?
Post your favorite paintings from your favorite period.

Series of paintings by Repin depicting Christ's temptation in the wilderness
Why aren't the "skeptic" atheists of /his/ solipsists? Are they dishonest?
>>1277665
Because believing in myself is one step too far
>>1277684
This, it's a pretty big leap of faith.
What was the identity of Vlad the Impaler, I mean in a "National" sense?
He's memed as a Romanian figure but looking at the damned map, Transylvania was under the rule of the Kingdom of Hungary, which was fuckhuge at the time.
Shouldn't he be seeing himself as a Hungarian Noble as opposed to a Romanian one? Given that Romania wasn't a thing at the time?
Does it matter?
>>1277133
He saw himself at the "Lord of Transylvania." Applying nationalities at the time would be useless.
Transylvania is under the Hungarian Kingdom alright, but is the home of Szekelers, Hungarians, Romanians, and the odd Saxon. It's pretty multiethnic.
>>1277133
>implying nation states existed at that time
In case anyone cares.
The poll was conducted in an unbiased way.

Political and economic ideology poll when?
