Friendly reminder that Plato and Aristotle fucked up the entire history of western philosophy. The sophists and the presocratics were the only true philosophers in Greece. If it weren't held back by Plato and Aristotle, philosophy would be able to explain the meaning of life and the nature of reality today. Also remember that it was neoplatonism which turned christianity into an antiscientific cuck cult.
proof?

Suggest you to read Seneca's criticism against Plato. Good old cynical and Stoic mockery.

What did he mean by this /his/ ?
It was just bants
>>996728
He meant he was a cheeky bastard.
It was holy as declared by their clergy, it was Roman as declared by their emperor claiming descent from Charlemagne (Charlemagne carried on the spirit of Rome) and it was an empire (it was a collection of otherwise separate smaller German kingdoms.

Are the people of England more Germanic or Celtic?
>>995041
germanic for sure.
Anglo-saxon were the dominant group during the reign of William the conqueror, and his ilk was frankish/scandinavian, which adds in even more germanic.

>The Romans, Vikings and Normans may have ruled or invaded the British for hundreds of years, but they left barely a trace on our DNA, the first detailed study of the genetics of British people has revealed.
>The analysis shows that the Anglo-Saxons were the only conquering force, around 400-500 AD, to substantially alter the country’s genetic makeup, with most white British people now owing almost 30% of their DNA to the ancestors of modern-day Germans.
>People living in southern and central England today typically share about 40% of their DNA with the French, 11% with the Danes and 9% with the Belgians, the study of more than 2,000 people found. The French contribution was not linked to the Norman invasion of 1066, however, but a previously unknown wave of migration to Britain some time after then end of the last Ice Age nearly 10,000 years ago.

no, no no.
culturally, absolutely. genetically, the vast, vast majority of people on island are still the same people that built stonehenge. more fair-haired looking people were noted living there in roman days. they just got culturally assfucked by the germanic invaders and became angles, for better or worse.
Matthew 24:34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
>2000 years later
>that generation has long passed
>the world has not come to an end
>Jesus has not returned
Ok so I get that Orthodox and specially Catholics only pay lip service to the bible anyway, so who cares what the bible says. But what about protestants and young earth creationists who supposedly take the bible literally? How do they explain this and other failed prophecies in the bible away? Because they claim that when the bible says that the world was created in seven days we are supposed to understand that as literally meaning 24-hour terrestrial days, because, come on, if God had meant something else he would have said it right? But when Jesus says he will be back soon before that generation passes away and when Paul says that "ye shall not all sleep" (that is not everyone he was adressing would have died) before Jesus returned, they all of a sudden go full Catholic and it all becomes RICH SYMBOLISM.
Explain yourselves.

>Implying Christians read the Bible.
Have you ever looked down at one of those lists about all the old testament prophecies Jesus fulfilled? Half of them are in psalms, a non-prophetic work, and a lot of the rest aren't messianic in any way, shape, or form, like God's pronouncement to Eve that her descendents will war endlessly with the snake.
If they could read the Bible, they probably wouldn't be Christians.
>>994529
This. It's like the quickest cure for soemone being a muslim is to make them read the Koran, Christians have this idea about the Bible as this special and obviously accurate book, actually reading it would be a massive test of their faith,
>>994529
This drive me mad. I've gone through Matthew and looked up the scriptural sources to all the fullfilled prophecies and in my head I was screaming the whole time "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?!" by far my favorite is the fullfilled prophecy of Judas's death. the prophecy it fullfilled isn't even in the bible (well technically it is). It's a combination of a non-prophecy in Jeremiah where he buys land and a prophecy in Zechariah.
Alright, since the general sentiment on this board is is that Marx is a complete hack, I have a challenge.
I'll stop reading and believing Marx if anti-Marxists can prove to me that there exists a single society where the social order was not established through violence, and where land ownership was not established through violence. If you can prove to me that capitalism could possibly have started under nonviolent or fair circumstances, which I'm positive you can't, I'll stop shitposting Marx.
You're saying Marx was the first to note that society is violent and that this observation is the foundation of his theories?
>>992691
No, read what I said.

Capitalism is the continuism of our base instincts, ever since ugg the caveman reasoned having 2 goats is better than one and ugg the caveman sought out his third or fourth goat under any means

Why do idiots love this so much? It has merits, but so does any religion/philosophy.
>>988011
Because it's atheist friendly.
is there a darker side to buddhism? any branch of it that advocated violence, or had otherwise crazy beliefs? from what I know, it was mostly an ok religion. regardless if you agree with their teachings or not, they at least usually left people alone.
>>988043
This, pretty much. It allows you to have some sort of religion or meaning in your life besides exploitative capitalist consumption without actually believing into anything that is too unrealistic.
I don't know much about Korean history, but I'm interested in learning more. Know anything?
