The Trans-humanist Question:
Would you willingly have your arm removed so you could have a Robotic arm attached?
What is the benefit?
If I replace my right arm it would be fucking weird and I replace my left arm I could no longer fap
Only if it was more functional and didn't come with dealbreakers like:
-no neural feedback
-having to constantly chug anti-immune drugs
-having to constantly fix/buy shit for that arm
I'd plop my brain in a jar as soon as the tech is there.

yeah, that's ultimately what it comes down to. if it offers a distinct and obvious advantage without heinous drawbacks, I see no reason not to improve the human body. right now, and for the foreseeable future, the technology just isn't there to make it worthwhile.
Hello /his/. For my birthday, I have decided the best present the imageboards could give me were maps. That's why I've started this thread right here, to dump maps and save those posted by other posters.
To start with, here's a map of Slovene dialects I translated myself.
Was Hellenism really that great or did it only become popular because of Big Al?

Let us discuss the Mongols, or anything about the history of nomad cultures.
But mostly the Mongols.

Part 1
Guptas(Goop-Ta) were a major power that rose to prominence in the aftermath of the Kushan Empire and its fall Around 240 AD. They are said to have started out, like most major ancient North Indian Dynasties in Magadha in north eastern india toward Bihar, what with the Nandas, Mauryas, Shungas, Prathiharas.
The dynasty started with Sri Gupta upon whom the records are scarce but it is known that Ghatotkacha (Gha-Toth-ga-cha) had established himself and his lineage and proceeded to rule from Magadha and subdued a handful of neighboring kingdoms, yet his greatest of gifts to his lineage was not from his sword hand but from his loins.
Chandragupta, the first of the great Gupta Emperors were born.
In the next twenty or so years Ghatotkacha before his death in 319 AD established an alliance between the Gupta Kingdom and the powerful Clan of the Licchavis (in modern day Nepal), an ancient clan that was prominent amongst the old Vajji Confederation a sort of Proto-Republic called a ganarajya(similar to res publica) but only a few had the right to vote.
Anyway, these clans had a representative princess Kumaradevi who married Chandragupta the Scion of the King. With the ancient city of Pataliputra as dowry and the soldiers of the Licchavis at their command he set about subduing the neighboring nations and kingdoms.
Thus began the campaigns of Chandragupta I as he vehemently expanded his realm in three years from the Ganges to Prayaga (modern day Allahabad) North east of India. His wars are not as well recorded or well known due to the lack of historical references, all that is known is that he was a great king who was attempting to ascend to Emperor, which he eventually did in 321 AD

The gupta were destroyed in there fight against the "Huns" if I am not mistaken. Aren't they also responsible for alot of the mathematical advances that came from India.
>>966676
pls stop
>>966688
Well apparently the pressures from the Sveta Huna(Hepathlites who may have been Avars instead of the huns) caused their downfall, but the name Huna and Hun are too cognate to be anything but some distant cousin of the Hun. But the records show that the last Huna Emperor to threaten the Guptas was Mihirakula, who was in turn totally defeated by the then Gupta Emperor Narasimhagupta.
But I doubt destroyed is the correct word, the empire collapsed and the descendants of the Kushans and the Western Kshatrapas, mainly old Iranic nomads who had moved into india and the Indus Valley were now civilized and became the Gurjaras and Pratiharas, they also had a massive hand in the disintegration of the Guptas and the eventual fall.
What was his deal?

Burgundy thread. Talk about the better france that almost was.
>>966363
Meme-france is dead and you should be too
They were eastern germanic, not "french".
And "the better france that almost was" is called Etat Francais/Vichy
>>966381
Honestly they were kinda both. Some of there land was French and other parts of it were Germanic or Flanders now Germanic.
so his entire philosophy ultimately just amounted to "muh Prussian nationalism"?

Is Interreligious Studies any good at all to pursue? Is the field filled with bullshit Unitarians?
Honestly, I love pursuing this stuff. Examining cultures, comparing fundamental worldviews so to understand and then discern truth between them, see the influence of modern thought on older ways of life.
If I were to pursue an education in this, what would be the proper name for this kind of field or major? What should I be looking for?
>>963022
what you really want is read book in pic related, and also read Joseph Campbell and Mircea Eliade
>>964125

>recommending muh monomyth to anyone

>Is Interreligious Studies any good at all to pursue? Is the field filled with bullshit Unitarians?
Interreligious studies will cure almost anyone of their religious beliefs. That's why there are so many unitarians and universalists, it's the only position that remains viable once you're familiar with enough of the worlds belief systems.
>If I were to pursue an education in this, what would be the proper name for this kind of field or major? What should I be looking for?
History of religion or anthropology.

Greetings from /tg/. For a 40k game I'm going to be playing in I wanted to name an extremely ancient ship in latin, and I'm pretty damn sure Google Translate isn't going to do the trick. Any chance one of you can help?
Also, "of the Emperor" was somewhat implied in this ship's naming if that makes a difference at all.
[spoiler]Google gave me Caerula Gladium Obstinata and that's my current placeholder name. I'm about 98% certain that it's absolutely butchered though.[/spoiler]
>>962815
Evidently spoilers don't work in /his/. I learned something tonight.
>>962815
Confirmatus Caeruleus Gladius seems about right. The grammar is a little off in the Google translation because it thinks you're describing the colour blue as resolute. I might be wrong, though.
>>962910
That sounds likely. I mean, Google Translate is handy for getting the basic gist of something across but I've never trusted it to provide anything better than say terrible Engrish style translations like pic related. Though it has helped me speak to people who don't speak English before (after prefacing with something like "I'm using Google Translate, please forgive me if I sound stupid."
Thanks for the translation though. I'll keep a casual eye on the thread in case anyone else speaks up, but I'm not really expecting or needing perfection for this. Just something that doesn't sound like an utterly butchered translation lol
