Shit thread, great photo.
Was monotheism a mistake?
Undoubtedly yes
>>1218213
Organized superstition of any form was a mistake.
>>1218213
I'm surprised you don't have this image, apparently.
What's the first thing you're gonna do when you get into Heaven?
Masturbate.
What does it matter? I have my eternal heroine IV. Nothing matters anymore.

Probably take an aspirin to help that massive case of death.
can we have a thread about this magnificent war god?
He wasn't that good and overly reckless
Patton was said to have believed in reincarnation and that he himself was once a French general under Napoleon.
What was his end goal?
What is fundamental?
His end-goal was something like Fascist Italy, he just didn't have the balls to admit it then and there.
>>1217844
But he was an anti-fascist?
>>1217844
Well, that's disappointing.
How does India's caste system work? How/why did it develop?
The native Indo-European caste system was maintained by the Aryan invaders until they met the Dravidian peoples at which point simple hereditary divisions of labor became something much more tangible ("What difference is there between high and low caste? Well for starters the low castes are all a different color").
>>1217640
This is false, racialization of caste is a Colonial British fantasy. There are dark Brahmins and light dalits.

19th century, when the brits started writing it down.
>Regular person "x happened and y occurred afterwards. Therefore x caused y."
>scientist "CORRELATION DOESNT EQUAL CAUSATION."
>Regular person "so when I throw this ball at the wall and it bounces off I can't assume that the wall is what stopped it from going through."
>scientist "THATS NOT THE SAME THING!"
Why are STEMfags so delusional and dishonest?
Correlation =/ is the meme of abject losers in a conversation. Its like when dubya was said the absence of proof doesn't equate to it's absence about his imaginary nukes
Reminds me of the Aristophanes

Explain
When people stopped wearing armour because firearms became popular, did others metagame it by using bows/crossbows? It seems to me they would be more effective, cause it doesn't take as long to reload as early firearms.
Requires more training to use a bow, I'm sure crossbows were used for a while but I don't know.
>>1217575
Reloading matters much less than training. Because firearms were much easier to handle, it meant countries could field more men armed with firearms than with bows and crossbows
>>1217597
This, and they are a lot bulkier same with the munition.
Favorite pope and why

Pope Joan
Who was the most effective defender of Ireland?
By "defender of ireland", I mean, who in history did the best job of fucking up invaders/occupying forces not native to Ireland?
I always hear about how the Irish got their shit pushed in constantly, but I'm sure they had some competent commanders/fighters somewhere, maybe in Ulster?
>>1217230
The 'RA managed to fuck Britian up enough to give the Catholics in there rightful homeland of Ulster rights.
>>1217230
Hugh O' Neill, Collins and Dev in the political sence. Wolftone also maybe
Who's your favorite southern general /his/? mine is a tie between Jackson and Beauregard.
Also, posting Sherman to try to ruse me won't work.
Longstreet

And if you count Captains in this thread, Bloody Bill.
Patrick Cleburne, arguably the most overlooked of Confederate generals
>Is called "Napoleon of Iran"
>Lived 100 years ago before Napoleon
>>1216707
That's because it was called Napoleon of Persia by an historian, not iranians themselves. And there's nothing wrong with it because said historian was writing for westeners and so the comparison was useful.
He didn't betray a movement out of narcissism and manletism though?
That we coined way later. To be fair, he does look like Napoleon, except with the brains, without the legacy and without any fucking thing in common. He was just another nomad savage in Asia.
what do you seriously think about david benatars asymmetry argument for antinatalism ?
>avoiding a painful life is good
>not experiencing joyful life is not bad but neutral because you dont rob the joy from anyone and they dont regret missing out on it while nonexisting
therefore we must always favor antinatalism
>>1216616
You have to accept shitty hedonism to begin with in order to accept that argument.
>muh pain
>muh joy
How very important!
>>1216641
the words are just placeholders you could also speak of fulfilled and unfulfilled lifes
>>1216616
they are both neutral, also morality is a spook so utilitarianism doesn't matter
Islamic golden age. Was it a myth?
as in it didn't happen? or it wasn't really a 'golden age'?
It was okay I guess
>>1216614
like was it really a golden age due to islam itself. weren't most scientists persian?
Hello friends, recently in a town southeast of Mexico I came across this text at the entrance of a church, I asked the locals what its meaning, but they did not know the answer.
So i post here to see if someone can help me translate it, just for curiosity
It reads "The Doors of el Durinho — Lord of Moriales. Speak, amigo, and enter."
