Hey I was wondering if old people actually visit this board. I am not talking about thirty year olds but rather people in their 50s, 60s and 70s.
I am not sure such people are around here but if you are could you tell us a little bit about how life has changed since you were say 12 or 20? Did your hometown get wealthier? Are houses more luxurious? All that kind of stuff.

I see nothing has changed much the last 83 years.
What was Japan and warfare like during the Sengoku Jidai period?
Lots of betraying, unlikely alliances, heroics and tragedies, and radical changing of tradition in the face of modern advancement.
Do you have a more specific question to ask? I'll try to help from my own understanding of the topic.

How did the various warlords maintain their legitimacy and authority? Also were the emperors doing all this time?
>>1134801
That map looks off to me, especially the Shimazu in Kyushu. There were definitely other clans there, such as the Sagara in (I think?) Higo. No way the Date controlled all that territory after the Onin War either. That looks way off. Everything around the capital, Noto and Owari/Mikawa look off too. Where did you find this map?

I'm a STEMfag and I realized lately I don't know jack shit about anything non-STEM and I want to change that. I want to learn about the history of mankind and pick up a couple of books to read about it. What would you say are the three most important things I should read about? Could be events, could be empires, could be people, anything.

"Women need to study the immensely productive dynamic of male bonding in history. With their results-oriented teamwork, men largely have escaped the sexual jealousy, emotionalism and spiteful turf wars that sometimes dog women" - Camille Paglia
Wouldn't help if women studied it. By far their behaviour is a core part of their nature.
>>1134359
Not even a feminist, and I laugh at how untrue it is.
Male bonding only means that the sexual jealousy, emotionalism, and spiteful turf wars become battles between groups instead of battles between individual
See for example any of the porn boards on this site wherein the cretins posting porn argue continuously and vainly with each other about the sexual merits or lack thereof in their racial and social in-groups. In those arguments one sees sexual jealously, emotionalism, and spiteful turf wars wrapped all into one simple phenomenon: Masturbation.
Are these young men actually taking their lubed-up hands off their cocks to slap at their keyboards angrily about how much better it is to have red nipples than brown?

Good read though. Hard because it's basically Shakespearean-tier Spanish so everything is linguistically wonky compared to modern Spanish.

Who allowed this cuck get his grubby autistic mitts all over philosophy and turn what was once ennobling and life-affirming into autismal P not-P gymnastics?
When it evolved from merely being an artistic inquiry and moved into the logical realm. Same thing happened with linguistic. Before it was all about creativity and art, now its purely logic.
You can thank the Poos for that.
Look at it from the bright side, he got absolutely shittershattered throughout his career by Gödel, Wittgenstein etc. and basically wasted his entire life. Now he is only remembered for how autistic positivist scum is.

It sucks that todays society is so different that there's legitimately good reasons to not want men to masturbate freely in public because nowadays it means you're probably a dangerous weirdo instead of an enlightened free spirit. They should have some kind of formal test set up where you are thoroughly interviewed by a panel of scientists, philosophers, nobel laureates etc. and if you are the .01 percent who meets the criteria of being a true modern day philospher and gentleman you are given a special glowing e-bracelet so that if you are in public and are struck by a sublimely erotic idea you can freely explore its possibilities in your mind with no care to your ephemeral worldly surroundings. Instead of being horrified at some random dude jacking off in a mall food court you could just hold up your glowing wrist and everyone would smile solemnly and feel priveliged to be allowed to witness a great mind at work.

Anyone else hoping His Eminence Hilarion becomes the next Patriarch of the Russian Church? He was tonsured a monk at 20. Currently he's the major representative of the Russian Church in dialogue with other religions (chairman of the Department of External Church Relations). He favors strengthening ties with the Vatican in promoting a return to morality in the West, which he sees facing a deep crisis
>He is also a noted theologian, church historian and composer and has published books on dogmatic theology, patristics and church history as well as numerous compositions for choir and orchestra.

Is Hofstadter correct that there is a "paranoid style in American politics"? Don't most countries have this kind of politics or is just America that attaches conspiracy theories to almost everything? Is it necessarily even a bad thing?
>I choose American history to illustrate the paranoid style only because I happen to be an Americanist, and it is for me a choice of convenience. But the phenomenon is no more limited to American experience than it is to our contemporaries. Notions about an all-embracing conspiracy on the part of Jesuits or Freemasons, international capitalists, international Jews, or Communists are familiar phenomena in many countries throughout modern history. One need only think of the response to President Kennedy's assassination in Europe to be reminded that Americans have no monopoly of the gift for paranoid improvisation.

The guy most likely to become our next president spent years claiming that our president was actually a Kenyan because he's black. People actually believed his absurd and nonsensical conspiracy theory for some reason, and still respect him. Burgers in general are paranoid morons who follow fearmongering idiots.

But he is half-Kenyan, his Dad was a Kenyan government official. Unless you are implying his real dad is Frank Marshall Davis...

Doesn't Russel's Teapot completely negate falsification? What's ironic is that the fedora's that love one the teapot are also always talking about falsification?
You read russel only to further your religious delusion and yet are shocked to find what you were looking for. I don't think its applicable in any case
>>1133282
It's about the "but you can't prove that it doesn't exist" arguments that are constantly made and why they're wrong.
It basically is a long winded explanation of Possible != Probable.

That's the point.
I have a question to ask about abortion.
I've heard that Catholics think that unborn babies go to hell or at least purgatory because they weren't baptised.
However, I've heard protestants say that unborn babies go to heaven regardless because they are free of sin and which is why they have adult baptisms.
However, if Catholics are right, then it means that God is a ripe bastard and damns unborn babies to hell for no fault of their own.
If protestants are right, then it means we should abort as many babies as possible so that they don't grow up to be degenerates and have the chance of going to hell when they were guaranteed a path to heaven as a dead baby.
I mean who is right... Or does god just say try again baby and try to get born again through reincarnation which means abortion isn't as bad as many make it out to be.
>>1133270
I think most Catholic theologians today would say they (probably) go to heaven. But some theologians historically have argued they go to hell or limbo, which is really neither. Limbo is no longer considered a valid theory so its not in the picture anymore.
>>1133270
Unborn would go to heaven due to having committed no personal sins against God. The unborn would fall under something similar to invincible ignorance for pagans. pagans can be saved if they were never shown the Word and lived moral lives by God's standards. Not sure why that wouldn't apply to fetuses.
>>1133301
Along with being, in effect, counted as a kind of martyr baptized by blood.
