What's up with this book? Is it basically a forgery?
It's a collection of Nietzsche's notes stitched together and published posthumously.
You could say it's "not canon", though it is studied, kind of like On Truth and Lies in a Non-Moral Sense.
No one considers it a forgery, it's in Nietzsche's handwriting. Part was forged, but that isn't published with it, that was only in the Naziboo editions. The edition in the OP is strictly Nietzsche, no forgery.

It's not only "canon", it's crucial to understanding Nietzsche. 99% of misconceptions about Nietzsche are due to not having read The Will to Power. They are not just diary entries, they were notes specifically for a work with that title that Nietzsche planned to publish, meant to be his magnum opus `
>>1210212
Basically this. It was edited by Nietzsche's sister, who was a huge nazi supporter. It's basically all the parts of Nietzsche's thought that might be misconstrued to support Nazi ideology out of context stripped of that context and put together.

How the hell did our mastery of fire happen, what convinced multiple people all over the planet to look at sticks and say to themselves, "I better rub that shit together pretty fucking fast."?

That's my point though, you don't "accidentally" make fire, it's an involved, arduous process

It was tinkering yeah, not some kind of rationalization, at least that's what I assume
Even some modern inventions arose out of toying and tinkering around
Nassim Taleb claims this how most inventions arise, or at least some of the inventions thought of as arising out of knowledge arose out of random tinkering

Who says that. I've never seen Jews proudly declare their heritage in another religion.
>>1209605
I don't think I'd academically run with "Jews were Zoroastrianists". I can go with the argument the Jewish faith was influenced by Zoroastrian conjecture, but I can also explain that away with the concept God intended for this influence because He anointed his assigned deliverer, Cyrus (Isaiah 45). In the wider scope, yeh, many judeo christian people would consider that heresy, but it's not the worst contention to have.

He was a fookin' bell end.
Literally who?
Holy because the Emperor was crowned by the Pope.
Roman because it was created to be the sole sucessor of the Roman Empire.
Empire because it had an emperor, it was a dominion that collected taxes and was, to certain degree, an unit.
>>1209573
>Holy because the Emperor was crowned by the Pope.
Pope had the exclusive authority to crown all people, that doesn't mean every single kingdom was "holy".
>Roman because it was created to be the sole sucessor of the Roman Empire.
With ERE still firmly in place. On the lands Romans considered absolutely barbaric.
>Empire because it had an emperor, it was a dominion that collected taxes and was, to certain degree, an unit.
Being a unit and collecting taxes doesn't make anything an empire, and claiming it's an empire because it calls itself an empire is quite ironic, don't you think?
fuck, that be a hairstyle?
This is gonna sound stupid but I'm wondering. After the Roman Empire fell apart, the Frankish Empire (Who spoke Germanic Languages) came in to what is now Modern-Day France (Which I assume most of the peasants still spoke Gaulish and the higher-class folk would speak Latin.) Anyway, Why don't they speak some Germanic Language or Gaulish?
Vulgar Latin was by far the more common tongue, as the invaders were actually small in numbers and France had an extremely high population density historically. Couple that with Latin's use in the church and the general prestige that the language carried, and it's only natural that Latin and it's descendant languages would dominate.
>>1209427
Thanks!
>>1209427
I would also say that latin was the language of the imperial administration (which the Franks and visigoths and others tried to maintain) and that the celtic language in Gaul wasn't that different from latin, it would seem, so the two languages appear to have blended to an extent. Current french is essentially derived from latin, but with celtic influences (and some germanic influences as well).

I wanted to lol at seeing this OP. Why would you want to read any philosophy pre-Socratic? I understand that there were thinkers before him, but not that many in all honesty and not measuring up to him. I'm genuinely curious. Also, hope you get the info you want in this thread.

I'm currently 4th grade of high school, 18 years old, and I'm thinking about studying history since it was my favorite subject, but I've heard from my ex history teacher that it's hard to find a job with a history diploma, and that it doesn't pay much. I'm also thinking about studying psychology.
Is it worth to study history, and how hard is it to find a job as a historian or a history proffesor?
>>1209211
The Dutch prime minister studied history and worked in a company before his career in politics.
Anyone else willing to help?
Do you agree with this Europe conception?
This is the map of Europe described by Pomponius Mela in 44 AD. Norwegian arctic explorer Frithjof Nansen drawed this back in 1911.
What catches the eye is that he describes a great bay ("Codanus sinus") of pre-eminent size; this name reappears in Pliny the Elder's work as Scatinavia.
Codanovia and Scatinavia were both Latin renderings of the Proto-Germanic *Skaðinawio
Far more interesting is the fact that the noble Belgae are mentioned here twice.
Once below the Rhine, same place where they are today.
Once next to, to the right of, the Vistula, which pretty much means that the whole Baltic region is in fact legitimate Belgian clay.
I know Belgae (namely the Menapii) were a sea-faring tribe who colonised parts of eastern Ireland (Fermanagh, Monaghia, Menapia now called Wexford), Isle of Man (Monapia), the island Anglesey (Mona) and the Welsh coastal region.
The Menapian haplogroup subtype is known and has been found in Sweden, but of course that could also be from slavery, there not the only Celts found up there.
But Belgae who have settled in the Baltic region, possibly having to do with the amber trade there, this puts it in a new light.
>>1209062
Interesting. But should be backed by archeology and genetics. Two completely unrelated peoples having the same name in ancient sources, even witgin the same source, is nothing new.
>>1209101
Possibly, but then there should be a reason why they were confused. My experience is that both Greeks and Romans were fairly accurate in their descriptions of foreign tribes, especially the ones further away, with the limitations they had.
>>1209109
Using the same name doesn't mean they're being confused. They never confused both iberias. Does your source explicitly claim both Belgae are the same?

Was talking to my grandfather about it today, he grew up in Northern Rhodesia and always goes on about it and how it was great living there before the blacks fucked it up.
A couple people to look into would be Cecil Rhodes and Robert Mugabe. I don't know much about it myself though.
