One day an obese hat-wearing, bearded, thick glasses-wearing individual will make a video about Stirner for a wide audience of people. In it he will shed light not so much on Stirner's thoughts and intentions but the popular memetic vision of his philosophies. The commoners will fail to analyze further, understand further and finally realyze the true meanings and will begin to misuse "spook" and "property" in common talk to a degree in which they have bastardized "underman" and "overman".
One day Stirner will go down the way...

I feel like a true Stirnerite wouldn't really give a fuck. Then again, a true Stirnerite wouldn't use the terms "true" or "Stirnerite".

It's pretty spooky, seen it already beginning on Facebook.
Why would I care exactly?
I don't feel that Nietzsche has any way been bastardized at all, just because edgelords on Youtube don't understand him properly.
I actually feel pretty smug knowing that they don't really know what they're talking about.
As a foundation to many faiths and mysticism, what meaning and importance does the Tree of Life hold?
What contribution has this image made to modern civilization?
Is it just one big meme?

Basically the well known version religions has closeness to God being a binary. You are either with God or not and everyone more or less has the same level of connection.
Kabbalah, but also Gnostism, Neoplatoism, and Hermetism have a hierarchy. Each step in the hierarchy focuses on different sacred wisdom/Gnosis and puts you on a different plane. Mastery of one plane allows you to move up to the next. So both people can both be with God but one will be on a much higher spiritual rank. If you reach the end you...

Like, the tree of life in the indo-European tradition? In India it's the lotus, in semetic religions it's the tree of knowledge, in Germanic religions it's yggdrasil (Charlemagne physically destroyed the saxon one). I think it might stem from the fact that humans used to give birth in hollow baobab trees where they evolved. They got pretty much all they needed from that one tree.

The Tree of Life as depicted in the Kabbalah.
What exactly was the connection between babylonians and assyrians?
There was first sumer, then the akkadian empire, then a babylonian state, then an assyrian empire, then a neo-babylonian empire, then it was under persia, then rome and various persian dynasties fought over the area, then the arabs invaded and that leads to the modern world
But who were really the babylonians and assyrians ethnically/culturally/linguistically/etc? I'm seeing some things about akkadian and aramean languages, I don't know really how that all fits together. And who can...

>But who were really the babylonians and assyrians ethnically/culturally/linguistically/etc?
I'm no expert, but I believe they were originally Semitic. Later they became Indo-European, yet still operated under the previous names
Sumer is the oldest of these, which is often regarded as the first "true" civilization in the world. I put true in quotes, because that's still up for debate, as there were other people groups around this time doing the same things, but not as much as the Sumerians.
Sumerians were the start of the Bronze Age. Bronze was first smelted in Europe, and then arrived into Sumeria by trade. They were also Semetic and lived in southern Mesopotamia. Sumerians were peacefully absorbed by the Akkadians, a larger Semitic tribe. This is called the Akkadian Empire, and...

part two
Around 1200BC, the Bronze Age Collapse happens. Basically, everything in the region goes to shit. All of these kingdoms pretty much collapse. Indo-Europeans like the Medes, Persians and Parthians begin moving into the north and west (The Indo-Europeans migrated into Central Asian, and then into North India, and then into Iran). Semitic people like the West Semitic peoples such as the Arameans, Chaldeans and Suteans begin migrating into the south. The Hebrews were fighting other Semitic tribes and the...

Is it a coincidence that laws of kosher and halal slaughter effectively make poaching impossible?
>>1184438
Semites being anti-fun as usual.

10 commandments effectively makes killing impossible

I'm literally a Stalin and Mao apologist and I still think Ceaucescu was a retard. What's your excuse OP?
Who here undergrad/grad/Phd for history or humanities?
Personally love religious studies and philosophy of science but chose money instead of passion. Did I make a mistake?
>>1184222
Meh. Probably not. Did your parents pay for college?
No. Did a double major, Religious Studies and Medieval and Renaissance Studies, graduated magna cum laude, presented undergrad papers at conferences and represented by university at a national congress of humanities. Have not been able to move forward in the field, have not been able to get into Master's programs, contemplating suicide but the last one is not on my degree.
Stay out, do something worthwhile, give back to society, lurk /his/ and read.
>>1184230
Yup but not any schooling after, which by the way , one semester cost more than my undergrad.
Morality is subjective.
Yes or no.
morality is a construct of your mind, just like everything else, so yes

>Plato looked like a beta
>Aristotle looked like an alpha
Hello /his/.
What are some indespensable resources for those who are Christians?
When someone asks you if you believe in God, how do you normally start out? Do you dive straight into the Bible or do you ease into it? When discussing with non-believers, what arguments to you run into the most? How do you counter them?
I want to come to the light of the truth, I have come to you for guidance to help me in my journey.

I am going to sleep, maybe I will answer tomorrow. Whatever you do, don't become a Protestant. Choose a denomination with apostolic succession.
>>1183813
Well, I hope you will answer. Perhaps you can also give me some advice on denominations and what not.
I'm mostly concerned about being prepared to defend my beliefs.

Take the bread pill.
How do I test if an idea is a spook or not?
If you spooked then it is a spook if you aren't then you aren't spooked enough.
"Do I understand the idea?"
If the answer is no, it's a spook.
If its an idea, its a spook
Daily remember that the greatest philosopher of the 20th century was a Jewish theologian and Concentration Camp survivor.

They aren't retarded enough to give throne to dude who randomly won the right to rule in the lottery of his birth.
Sorry in advance if this is the wrong board but it seems to fit.
Has anyone else done their genealogy research and found... less than stellar expectations?
I am all the way back, on all lines, to the "old" country, and so far I have 3 war heros, 4 convicted murderers, 2 ancestors who were acquitted of murder, a person who killed hundreds of Native Americans, a WW2 military deserter, and 2 currently registered sex offenders, one of which, a 3rd cousin, molested a girl <10 years of age
I know we all have grand ideas of who we descended from,...

I don't about you, but I'm the last of kin of Captain Morgan.
True story: My grandfather got wayyyy into Genealogy in his later years, and unearthed the usual grab bag of characters.
A civil war surgeon who hacked mad limbs, William Bradford, governor of Plymouth Colony, and specifically a Revolutionary war soldier. This made me eligible for Sons of the American Revolution, but the guy was a damn deserter. He marched for like 6 days, and said "screw you guis, I'm goin home." In good conscious I could not take the claim, and am only a member of the Mayflower Society.
If Jesus was a real person he rose after seven days, does that mean his descents walk among us?
>>1183346
>If Jesus was a real person he rose after seven days
3 days, you idiot.
>does that mean his descents walk among us?
Jesus had no children
>>1183346
3 days, and then He went straight up into heaven after 40 days. He sent His Holy Spirit down to the earth. Jesus had no children.
>>1183414
He rose after seven days and that is why Sunday is the day of Easter.
And Jesus did have children.
How can just one man keep an entire nation together for 34 years?
I mean its not exactly unheard of for powerful nations to be held together by a single, charismatic strongman.
>>1183339
strength, authority, charisma, cunning...
basically being a clever dickswinger
any conventional leadership qualities you can think of applied to governing of a whole state, leading a country is just like leading a small group of people, just applied at a different scale
By killing his enemies and then running the country on western loans.
