Oh shit
Let's hope it really is it
Neat.
Now we only need to find his remains, extract the DNA, and display his clone in a theme park.

Unless they buried some of his works with him its not happening
Is Pascal's Wager a legitimate argument?
No.
>>1197912
Why not?
>>1197931
Because it doesn't take into account the sheer diversity of religions and because it assumes that a life wasted believing something false is nothing of value lost.
Who is the worst monarch in history? Pic related.

Eh no, thanks.

He was still pretty fucking shit even if you like the division of the church.

No, this.
Make Nippon Dai again.

right cause I'm gay for traps
>what drives men to war?
I dont mean the higher ups, who have personal vendettas and send hordes to go out and kill for their own interest. The common man, the guy who isnt quite sure why hes there, but willing to go through hell and sacrifice it all. Is this innate in all men? Why are men so willing to fight?
brainwashing and propaganda
>>1197259
I think its moreso innate. Look at the American Civil War and WW1 where people were elated at the news of war and were volunteering in the thousands to join.
>>1197259
>people still don't realize that warfare is an innate part of human nature
>people still don't realize that 30-40% of pre-Neolithic human remains have shown signs of combat related injury
When did you realize that Diogenes was right?
For me, it was when I realized that our society sucks in the same ways, if not more so, than the Greco-Roman societies.
>>1200946
Why are you using the internet? Shouldn't you be rummaging through a restaurant dumpster for food right now?
>>1200946
why is the perspective in that image so shit? Alexander is blocking the light yet Diogenes is still fully in the sunlight
>>1200977
In his defence, you can't deny that Diogenes would be using the internet nowadays.
Why did the American Revolution and The French Revolution though sharing ideals have such vastly different results?
Destroying feudalism ain't free
Different situations perhaps?
They both rebelled against a monarchy, but one was a colony, the other were natives of the country.

Also, please excuse my fucked up grammar.
>>1200493
Sure. The Japanese are for the most part godless, and they're a shame based society.
Why would that not be possible?
>>1200493
Yes and yes. Shame is just an emotion, every human is capable of feeling shame. And just because there isn't an objective morality doesn't mean there is no morality. Morality is both neccisary for a functioning society and firmly rooted in empathy, which nearly every human has
>>1200493
Here's a better question. If the god-less are the ones who don't need religion to live morally fulfilling lives, is the fear of damnation the only reason the god fearing are kept in line?
What does /his/ think?
Is it coming? Will it end all humanity and reduce us to slaves? Will tech be our new God? Can we escape or prevent it?
>Inb4 >>>/sci/
>looking for the /phil/ perspective
No. The whole singularity thing is an hypothetical thought experiment.
And yes, it is entirely /his/ related. There is nothing scientific about the singularity.
>>1200259
I don't know about speaking about 'the singularity' as such, but yeah the robots are taking over. We are going to be like the dinosaurs.
>>1200259
Nobody here is an expert about the future, everyone who claims they know what will happen is an idiot, all we have is speculation
We'll just wait and see, maybe it'll happen soon, maybe it won't
Let's say i somehow managed to time travel back to the Garden of Eden in order to stop Eve from eating the fruit. Would God punish me for fucking up his ultimate plan? Or would i be rewarded?
>implying you can override God's will
You travelling back would also be part of God's will.
As we've seen, though, anybody who believes in predestination doesn't seem to have a problem with the fact that God punishes people for things that were predetermined.
Most Christians until recently also believed that Satan was merely a tool of God, inferior to him and within his power, therefore Satan tempting eve to eat the apple was also God's will and done with God's permission.

Retard.
Can anyone tell me about Serbian history? Specifically, the relationship between Croatia and Serbia. Maybe a bit of information on Yugoslavia in general.
>>1200131
Betrayed by various neighbors through-ought history because serbs are crazy and retarded.

If Chiang Kai-Shek won, how would China be today? Would it be better off?
>>1199837
>Would it be better off?
After he would be killed in violent revolution, along with his nepotist buddies.
Now the question is whether great leaps forwards did more harm than another civil war would do.
>>1199837
yes. it's possivle it still would be authoritarian but as long as the cultural revolution and the great leap forward didn't happen they would be much better off
>great leap forward and cultural revolution don't happen
>mainland China has a hideous flag
Even trade off desu
Please /his/ explain to me what race meant in Europe pre colonization and how it's affects on ethnic cultures. In my home country of the US all white people are merely "white" while minorities are the only people that seem to have the right to claim their ethnicity and cultural roots. I want to be educated on our past and why the first immigrants of our nation were so heavily divided by race and ethnicity despite being white.
nothing. nobody never met anybody of different race so they didn't give a shit about them.
>>1199818
Bullshit. Are you telling me gypsies aren't treated like crap in modern Europe still?
>>1199821
what?
How do you deal with the fact that we can't know anything and that philosophy is an exercise in pseudo intellectual PR?
>Legal theory: Zero predictive power
Hell, nothing can escape the axiom - deduction framework and there is no "objective" way to pick axioms so all philosophy is worthless.
>>1199776
>all philosophy is worthless
your mom is worthless
>>1199776
The way I see it, every person has "a philosophy", whether they can label it or reference earlier people with similar contentions. The study of philosophy becomes the academic classification of different parts of these world views and explanations (apologies?) so we can better understand one another and work within this larger set of parameters.
Study of philosophy should not necessarily change your world view, but rather help you understand better yourself and others. Maybe sometimes you'll read...
Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>1199776
your conclusion is self defeating
would you have come up with that theory had you not read philosophy or at least gained some skills under the discipline of philosophy?
