Is the modern human becoming more utilitarian compared to the past ?
>>933680
Probably.
Deontology and Virtue are dying out it seems.
What is the cause? My guess is it has something to do with the growth of Capitalism/materialism.
>>933700
You said probably and then statead the opposite of what OP said.
Also you're wrong.
More hedonist, not more utilitarian. Most people are egoistic hedonists.
>>933700
>What is the cause? My guess is it has something to do with the growth of Capitalism/materialism.
Ignorance.
ITT We discuss underrated people that had a large impact on our /his/tory.
Could be anybody. Religion, architecture, military, political etc.
Mine is Mimar Sinan, 16th century ottoman architect

How you suffered silently trough the ages. I cried for you, I died for you,yo are forever in my heart, OP.
Dont live in fear, nor in regret. You shall forgive but never forget
>>933209
How the piglets would squeal if they knew how the old boar suffered
>>933209
Why do people kill and hate each other when our ancestors all came from the same family. Is nt ther enough to share or is it that we just don't care we're here for a day or two... let me me show my way Salaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam uliakum salaam uilaikm slam aliumkum ehehehehe
whats a good and enjoyable read about the early middle ages?
>>932970
none exist
The Song of Roland
>>932970
>early middle ages
Any history about Byzantium, since literally nothing important was happening in western Europe at the time.
Can /his/ tell me about the fundamentals of Italian Fascism and nationalism? I want to be members but don't know all the doctrines and beliefs?
Sure I'd be glad t
>I want to be members but don't know all the doctrines and beliefs

>>932300
I understand the basics of fascist and nationalist views but dont know their views on every topic

How do you know other people (or animals) undergo conscious experience?
>>932089
You don't.
>>932125
that still isn't "proving" objective reality edgemeister
ITT post literally any sourced historical fact
>Both in France and in England, the custom existed of refusing confession and the extreme unction to a criminal condemned to death. Sufferings and fear of death were to be aggravated by the certainty of eternal damnation. In vain had the council of Vienne in 1311 ordered to grant them at least the sacrament of penitence. Towards the end of the fourteenth century the same custom still existed. Charles V himself, moderate though he was, had declared that no change would be made in his lifetime.
Johan Huizinga, The Waning of the Middle Ages, p. 15
I'm assuming you meant to post this.

Wittgenstein worked as a lab assistant in Newcastle’s Royal Victoria Infirmary during the war. His Jesmond landlady said he was chatty in the morning, to the annoyance of the other lodgers, but morose in the evenings.

What was the greatest mistake in history?
Hard mode:
>Not Treaty of Versailles
Communism
Anime
The Egyptian failure to wipe out the Hebrews.
Splitting the Roman Empire.
can anyone recommend a good book on the middle ages? like one that states the history of all these weird fucking kingdoms I don't know anything about like the bosporan kingdom and shit?
also, kind of related, can anyone recommend any good books on the history of byzantium?
Pretty generic term m8
Try browsing Wikipedia articles until you find a particular era and/or kingdom or empire that interests you then ask for books on it
>>931272
well I was looking more into like the era of charlemagne and all that stuff

>Eastern
Cardinal direction is subjective.
>Roman
Latin was not spoken. Rome had no influence.
>Empire
Only for the first few hundred years. Afterwards it was just a shitshow.
Despite all of this, /his/ will say the Byzantine Empire was a legitimate successor to the Roman Empire. Meanwhile, /his/ says the Mongol Empire died only a generation or two after Genghis Khan and left no successor states. /his/ must be hypocritical, in that the Mongol Empire left numerous successor states (Ilkhanate, Yuan Dynasty, Mughal Empire, the Hordes, etc.) which were much more comparable to the Mongol Empire than Byzantium was to the Roman Empire.
So /his/, why do you continue to hold an anti-Mongol bias? Isn't history supposed to be neutral?
History is anti-Mongol leaning :^)

>Cardinal direction is subjective.
it's relative tho
Fuck off, Voltaire
In front of you, there are two objects.
One is real, and the other is a indistinguishable fake.
Which one is worth more?
i think the anime says the second one but i dont remember why
>>930368
The second one, I would imagine.
It existing is proof that the first object can be replicated exactly, which is of course, always worth something to someone who might require more than one of said object.
>>930368
If it's indistinguishable, in what way is it a fake?
The year is 1969. I know this is recent history but still, the events that took place shape America to this day. With all the mysteries and conspiracy theories (e.g. Helter Skelter) surrounding the Manson trial, I am curious:
What do you think happened in August '69?
How did it shape American Culture?
>>930240
Is that Eggman?
>>930240
just go listen to some jefferson airplane, mann
>>930240
Probably the Times ran a trend piece on the so called "Summer of Love" that all the kids were talking about, and then everyone was stuck talking about it for twenty years or so because news was slow back in the day
/his/ opinion of the Huns?
I think they could have united Europe in a way Europe needed. With intense brutality and fear. There Goth fetish should have been replaced with Greco-Roman admiration, might have helped them stabilize.
>>930191
Huns are to a major extent a meme, their 'empire' was never even half that large at its largest.
But they did unite Europe.
http://militaryhistory.about.com/od/battleswarsto1000/p/chalons.htm
Rome joined with their mortal rivals to fight the Huns in 451.
>>930277
The West needs new Huns.

The liberal Jewry have been at our necks for decades faggot.
Wake up.
Why does Ferdinand of Aragon look like an Arab in this painting?
>>929791
He looks darker than an Arab.
It can't be to show that he is exposed to the sun far more than Isabella is?

Why do so many people in the west fawn over Gorbachev? He was an idiot who practically put the final nails in the USSR's coffin.
>Reduce alcoholism? Lol, just destroy grape vineyards in the south
Because he destroyed the USSR
He let the Balts go in peace.
>>929711
>practically put the final nails in the USSR's coffin
>implying thats a bad thing
>The only surviving Roman scutum shield.
Pretty ornate compared to what we see in modern reproductions. Also swastikas.
As it was found. The site in Syria was destroyed by ISIS.

I'm guessing there was a metal boss or something where that hole is?
Also, how much uniformity in equipment/decoration was there that we're aware of? I've seen helmets with little metal ornamentations that the owner would have gotten custom made at heavy expense.

I sure didn't read that second image
