Is the only possible outcome of the modern economic capitalist system we live in a total failure? Will it ever work properly? Will we actually be able to 'make' money? Instead of simply moving it and creating debt? What will the crash look like? First world nations reverting to third world?

Everything is destined for failure, but you can't determine whether something is a failure if it's based on lies anyway.

What do you call the kilotons of manufactured goods and megatons of raw materials we've extracted?

Why have I never heard this stuff before? This should be taught in schools. It is stunning. I had no idea this kind of recording existed.

I mean think about it, he fought through the Civil War, lived through the Wild West times, the Industrial Revolution at the turn of the century, and saw the inventions of radios, televisions, cars, airplanes, tanks, jets, and nuclear weapons.
I really can't even fathom it.
Here is another neat video. I wish we had more of these old people on tape giving interviews....

Not really an authentic recording. But still a moving reading of an authentic letter.
Biggest scumbag in history?
He was a hero to all mankind.
>>1010607
To all Serbs maybe.
>>1010607
This. He singlehandedly destroyed the monarchies of Europe. Well done, mate.
Does anyone actually like this pretentious little pissant?
Also, Existentialism thread
>>1010547
What's wrong with his philosophy? I only know the basis "being-onto-death" which I find to be a right way to look at life. I was actually going to get into his philosophy more, but I'd like to know what you dislike about it OP.
Who the fuck thinks Existentialism is an actual thing nowadays?
And who the fuck thinks Heidegger is an "existentialist"?
>>1010689
idiots
idiots
ergo OP is an ___
What does /his/ think about Psychology? Can we have an intelligible conversation about it?
>>1010462
>psychometrics
>evolutionary psychology
>social psychology
Memelogy.
>>1010482
Well are you going to explain your position or what?
>>1010490
It's a good source of topics for shitposting and flamewars.
Since the last thread got archived with only one reply I'm gonna post this again.
I need all the sources you have on:
1) Freemasonry
2) Rosicrucianism
3) Martinism
Academic and sacred texts are both good.
I already know about Lewis Masonic and McCoy.
>>1010454
Look in the archives for threads made by the ape of thoth or go to x if you want good answers
>>1010454
Tobias Churton is good. But those two really cover everything. You just need to know how to use them.
>rich people
What is peoples actual opinion on this man?
He gets shit on a lot on 4chan and while his party was definitely inolved in some questionable actions, was he himself so much to blame?
No opinions on the apartheid please, just on Mandela.
>>1010288
Loved him in Se7en.
>>1010288
Not as bad as M*gabe.
>>1010288
He was in the IRA.
Was he wrong?
>>1010234
No, he was right.
>>1010234
Yes, he was wrong.
i dont care if you do or don't agree with it
how do anarcho syndicalists claim not to employ coercion? and if they really don't coerce anyone to work, what of those who choose not to but leech off the society? jsut let them? because i think disallowing someone to leech would be saying they can't eat without work which sounds to me like capitalist coercion
sorry if ive compeltely misunderstood
if you thought that an anarcho-leftists could be reasoned with then you truly have completely misunderstood
all human discourse is coercion unless people automatically agree all the time, if freedom is the ability to do what someone immediately wants then any kind of challenge to somebody's beliefs or advocacy for the truth is coercion
this is why I left anarchism
>>1011211
ok but seeing as you once were anarchist, how would you have explained it back then? surely such an obvious answer must have an answer, no matter how weak the answer may be
>private ownership of the means of production is a totally fair and balanced institution
>there are people who legitimately believe this
>>1009857
>there are people who believe people believe this
Strawman. Free marketeers don't believe it's balanced; they believe greater economic growth regardless of who benefits is a better policy than more balanced economic growth with "chosen" winners.
>>1009882
>if I own things it's better than if you own things
Kek people are really dumb
What does /his/ think about this statement?
actually the good can be a subject of knowledge so it's like the sun to vision

So, I was reading the wikipedia for Majapahit, and it stated that it was considered offensive to touch someone on the head, to the point where violence often erupted over it. Can anyone confirm?
>>1009676
>it was considered offensive to touch someone on the head, to the point where violence often erupted
Indonesian here, this is actually still a thing in certain parts of Sumatra Island
>>1009866
Really? Can you explain the reasoning?
>>1009676
>Touching someone on the head
That's only something you do to small children and maybe your girlfriend.
How much of a threat Carthage was to Rome really?
Looking at the Pop History out there, they make it like that these two niggas were like the up and coming powers in the Med.
But there seems to be more powerful entities than Carthage in the region really
>Seleucids
>Ptolemaic Egypt.
>>1009544
Yes, they were up and coming powers. But it was each would serve to be the stepping stone into much greater glory. It just so happened that Rome won.
Also I'd say Carthage was a greater threat to Rome because of proximity, influence on surrounding entities (Iberians, Islanders etc) and economic power. The other Greek sons were fucking around with each other anyway and weren't an active threat to Rome as much as Carthage was.
>>1009563
poor b8
Had Hannibal stormed Romes wall during his siege, he could have won the war, and Rome would have been a detail in history.
>>1009563
>using a latin alphabet
As a Hispanic and cultural heir to Rome and the latins I resent your cultural appropriation. IT'S 2016!! MAKE YOUR OWN ALPHABET GERMANIC LANGUAGES!
What would Karl Marx think of basic income his?
I think he would not be for it because it is just another means of control
>tfw communism was created by a literal fat neckbeard and his buddy, the fugly Jew
Not surprisingly the followers of Marxism fit one of those cathegories even today
>>1009063
do you want the real version or the fake?
>>1009131
I didn't know that young Marx was such a hottie.
What is a valid argument against the notion of infinite regress?
>>1009043
It's not a serious problem in nature, it's just a result of hang-ups created by our own observations.
>>1009043
There are none.
Either infinite regresses are possible or they aren't and you can't argue your way towards one or the other.
>>1009070
Why not?
The idea should be easy enough to establish one way or the other.
