Who were the better fighters?
>he doesn't know there were Arab crusaders
Nigger 30% of the levant was still Christian
Arabs are good at war.
That's why when they fight themselves it goes on forever.
Look at the middle east.
>>1176235
Well, for one thing, it wasn't the Arabs alone whom the Crusaders fought.
Actually, there were almost little ruling Arabs at the time. Most of Muslim Princedoms at the time were Turkic in origin. Their warriors included.
Why have attempts to unify the world under one empire always failed throughout history?
Have there been attempts to unify the world under one empire?
>>1175281
Romans...? Mongols...? Persians...? The British...?
>>1175280
Long distances and bad communication. Now that we have the technology a bunch of states gave nukes that prevent people from going to war.
What do you do to pay your bills or get disposable bodypillow income, /his/? Anyone here living the dream as historians or teachers? If not, how well do you cope with dealing with historically-illiterate philistines?
Pic unrelated.
>>1171608
Convenience store clerk.
It flies over most peoples' heads when I bitch that Camels claim to be Turkish when there's pictures of Giza pyramids on the damn box.
>>1171619
Probably because its autistic talk
>>1171608
Military officer (non-American type).
Pretty sweet, I got a distinction on my promotion board history essay.
Would these guys stand a chance in the real roman army?
If they pass the training and are able to follow army orders. I can't see any obese fucks there.
>>1167459
With actual roman officers to put them on their place? Yeah, some of them would. Maybe even most of them. They would probably not like it though.
>>1167459
Absolutely. Understand that your average Roman was far less healthier and shorter than those guys and if they have the disipline and pass the learning they would be better.
>American protestants think Harry Potter and Pokemon are works of satan.
And people wonder why young people are becoming less religious.
>>1157404
The Harry Potter one is justifiable since it presents witchcraft as something good and attainable maybe
The pokemon's fucking nuts tho
>>1157430
J.K Rowling flat out said her Harry Potter story is a Christian allegory
>>1157430
>taking Witchcraft as seriously
That's how you go in jail by the inquisition, it's not real. It's fiction.
The achievements of this man is remarkable, why does the average person not have some sort of admiration for his work and his reform of the government in France? He managed to turn a country built on a weak Republic into a strong Nationalist Empire by the end of his reign.
Is it because it was 200 years ago?
because no one really understands how great a change the enlightenment and modernisation was since we live in a bizarre theme park version of it where people talk about how all our knowledge systems and culture are natural
>>1155197
no one gives a shit about that manlet fuck lol
>>1155204
woah don't trigger me bro culture is relative
What was his fucking problem?
>>1178423
Literally daddy issues
>>1178423
What do you have against him?
>>1178423
He was a faggot.
Reminder that science is done best by people competent and respectful of philosophy, not by STEMlord autistic scientism positivists.
>>1183931
Funny how every pic on the left is in black and white
You couldn't find a modern scientist saying anything nice about philosophy?
>>1183941
I would, except the guys on the left set the paradigm everyone in color reads about. So they don't really have anyone to compare to ;-)
>>1183969
Should have posted Hawking on the right.
This is a thread for history's fascinating figures of intrigue with powers that shouldn't exist by conventional understanding. The only condition is that their powers or gifts be more than rumored, but well documented historically. So no magicians.
>Michel de Nostradamus
>Count of St. Germain
>Kasper Hauser
>Crazy Horse
>Wyatt Earp
>Rasputin
>Edgar Cayce
>Ze Arigo
>Nikola Tesla
>Edward Leedskalnin
>no magicians
>mentions Raspumeme
Way to fuck up.
>>1179841
Rasputin wasn't a magician. Try harder. Actually don't. Just leave.
>>1179847
Rasputin is a meme. You mention there shouldn't be any rumors, but almost everything extraordinary about Rasputin is just a fucking meme myth. He didn't have a 20 inch cock, he didn't cuck the king and he sure as fuck didn't survive three different assassination attempts, autopsy proved he died of a gunshot wound and the entire bullshit story was invented by Yusupov in order to demonize him and justify a fucking murder.
The only really weird thing that happened was the entire disease curing deal and even then we'll never know how much of that was his doing.
>trying to look up how american accents have changed over generations
>every result is either about that fake "trans-atlantic" accent or the "le americans speak original english" maymay
Well white people in the south used to speak like niggers do now, the Ebonics shit. Blacks were the only ones that retained it.
>>1178542
>"le americans speak original english" maymay
This true though
It amazed me when I first learned that Quebec French is basically the same French that they were speaking in France in the 17th century. France moved on, Quebec stayed the same.
Imagining an English parallel, that must be like somebody coming up to you and speaking basically Elizabethan era English.

Do new atheists exist? how do they differ from old/classical atheists?
Look at all those Jews promoting a Jewish religion against a Christian one.
New atheism is bullshit btw.
>>1176419
"New Atheists" tend to just be real hardline logical positivists, its not a new philosophy its just very popular among modern Atheists.
Athiests like Nietzsche had a very different worldview
>>1176432
this. Apart from Dawkins everyone in that pic looks jewish af. Don't take me wrong, I am not anti-semenitic, but I don't trust Jews nonetheless
Would the Actus Purus vs. essence-energies conceptions of the Catholics vs. Orthodox, need to be reconciled in order for the Church to be unified? Or does the Catholic Church okay essence-energies now in Eastern Rite?
I'm no Catholic, but essence-energies sound heterodox as fuck, like schismatic-tier for real dawg.
>>1179996
Why? It's Patristic. It simply means God as transcendent vs. God as immanent.
>>1179806
Church needs to be unified in Spirit not in formal manners - that's the Catholic approach.
Dogmatic wise Orthodoxy will never change - even the canons are somewhat fixed but really flexible in the same time.
why is there so few photos of the fall of France in 1940?
its as if it was whitewashed from history
>>1175536
because, believe it or not, they were happy to it. Just look at those socialists cry
>>1175536
It was an almost nonstop advance that was over in 6 weeks. If you've ever seen the photos by German soldiers during early Barbrossa its literally just roadside with the occasional destroyed tank.
>>1175536
>fall of France in 1940
"Fall of 1940"? If anything, National Socialist France was an exaltation.
Can you help me understand the Buddhist view of reality?
It is suffering and impermanence.
Look up the Four Noble Truths; also you can read Buddha by Armstrong.
Why 8?
>>1168633
Because I 8 your mom last nite.
Everyone likes making fun of nihilists but can you actually refute them?
>>1180775
If there is no meaning to anything, in a very strong sense, then if you are right, it doesn’t matter. There is no right or wrong anyway. But if you are wrong, then there are consequences to your being wrong, because there is some sort of meaning in the world, that you are failing to do justice to. So it would be sensible to not care about anyone who is a committed nihilist, philosophically, because if he is right, it is nothing to us (in the same way everything is nothing); but if he is wrong, well, there were more promising positions we could engage with anyway, and we only have a finite amount of time to do this in.
>>1180788
Let me get this right.
What you're basically saying is "if he's wrong we're right but if he's right we're wrong but then it wouldnt matter anyway lol", and calling it an argument?
>>1180803
by definition it would not matter. if you want to be right for the sake of understanding and controlling the world, you'd find the argument compelling. if you prefer to assume things that are thoroughly incapable of helping you so you can be a smug faggot about your perceived superiority (but don't actually think there is value in being a smug faggot) then you can be a nihilist.
