Favorite indigenous civilizations/tribes of the Americas? Why?
Apaches of course. They had the best chance of winning against the white man with their Mongorian like tactics

cool government, adopted european tech. also in aoe3 they're the only natives that can build cannons.
How important is foreign policy?
As important as domestic policy
If I like domestic policy, extremely. If I don't like domestic policy, minuscule.

What implications do Godel's Incompleteness Theorems have on Philosophy?
>>921279
In any logical, mathematical system that is sophisticated enough to include anything like what we call everyday arithmetic, there are always going to be true statements that cannot be proved within that system. Moreover, if such a logical/mathematical system entails a statement or result that "it IS consistent" (rather, that the system and its rules, used properly, never produce contradictory results), then it is actually, rather, inconsistent.
Since being able to /prove/ that something is true, given such-and-such premises, axioms etc, is valued and held as foundational of mathematical knowledge, and since we are very inclined to rely on arithmetic, Gödel's incompleteness theorems tell us "u can't no everyfin, mane, not ever, no matter how hard u try". There will knowably, provably always be un-proveable (which in philosophy of mathematics might be conflated with un-knowable) gaps in mathematics, which delimits knowledge itself. When Gödel's theorems broke, it is not hyperbole to say that they were the biggest development in logic since the ancient world. The incompleteness theorems specifically also did much to scuttle Hilbert and Whitehead/Russell's respective programs.
So, they were a big deal, and a /definite/ result with direct implications for both epistomology and philosophy of mathematics. That is their significance to philosophy. Also the proof did a clever thing about semantically equating statement-strings with the natural numbers that they represent, or something like that, I honestly don't remember the details. Any time a proof is clever/novel like that, mathematicians like it.

So Historians agree that Justinian's silly quest to restore the Roman Empire bankrupted his state and contributed to its downfall when facing the Persians and Islam a few centuries later.
But could the Greeks have pull this whole thing around after the conquest?
>>920985
No. The plague crippled the urban Greek populations allowing Slavs, Lombards, and Arabs to move in.
> There is a somewhat analogous situation with regard to the heterosexual seduction procedure in our Politically Correct times: the two sets, the set of PC behaviour and the set of seduction, do not actually intersect anywhere; that is, there is no seduction which is not in a way an "incorrect" intrusion or harassment — at some point, one has to expose oneself and "make a pass." So does this mean that every seduction is incorrect harassment through and through? No, and that is the catch: when you make a pass, you expose yourself to the Other (the potential partner), and she decides retroactively, by her reaction, whether what you have just done was harassment or a successful act of seduction — and there is no way to tell in advance what her reaction will be. This is why assertive women often despise "weak" men — because they fear to expose themselves, to take the necessary risk. And perhaps this is even more true in our PC times: are not PC prohibitions rules which, in one way or another, are to be violated in the seduction process? Is not the seducer’s art to accomplish this violation properly — so that afterwards, by its acceptance, its harassing aspect will be retroactively cancelled?

Hello /his/, bit of an odd question but I'm not sure where else to turn.
Basically I want to get my girlfriends dad something really cool for his 60th and he's always had an eye for the soviet gear and generally likes wearing leather jackets.
So, was wondering if anyone could tell me where to find a jacket like this (I'm in the uk) or if you know the name of this kinda thing or something like it.

Why did Rome become a republic? Surely there was more reason to it than them simply rising up against King Tarquin and abolishing his rules and laws? What was it about the idea of monarchy that they found to be bullshit?
>>920563
>What was it about the idea of monarchy that they found to be bullshit?
To prevent a tyrant king from showing up. This was before feudalism and Christianity so people weren't nearly as willing to allow a person to rule over them.
>>920563
What the fuck are you talking about
>>920563
Probably because, despite what Livy claimed, there were probably several families of roughly equal power and involvement with the overthrow of the Tarquins, none of whom wanted to cede authority, which led to a power sharing arrangement and eventually republic.

Why were Roman emperors so batshit insane?
define "batshit"
Many stories about "mad" emperors were fabrications or exaggerations by political rivals who understood that a story about a Emperor making his horse a senator and attacking the ocean would spread more quickly among the uneducated and easily amused plebs as opposed to a "he made policies I don't like and don't benefit me" stories
They had lead in their wine.
>>920501
Arguably only 2 emperors were insane for sure, Elagabalus (a transgender North African who liked to prostitute himself in the imperial palace) and Commodus (who functionally a giant asshat who was probably a psychopath, given how much he enjoyed killing and watching the act of killing that even surprised the Romans)
Caligula and Nero were likely more spoiled assholes than anything else. Domitian was just a dick to the Senate and christians. Tiberius was just paranoid.
I'd also say that Justinian's successor was insane, considering that he apparently needed to be chained to a bedpost in order to prevent him from gnawing on people later in his life
What actually is the "thing-in-itself" in Kantian philosophy?
>>920480
Kant's thing-in-itself. If you know what I mean.
You Kant know.
>>920480
That which accounts for the sensory data of experience; that which cannot be known like the phenomenal, physical, natural world can be known, but that which can be merely conceived as "that which appears" underlying the spatiotemporal appearance known by me; the correlate that explains, grounds, the phenomenal world-as-appearance; that which is independent of the forms of the human mind, independent of the ways in which the human mind imposes regular order upon the raw data given within the human mind's faculty of sensibility (the human mind's faculty for receiving sense data).
In other words: within my mind arises sensations of colors and temperatures and textures and tastes and smells - and the thing-in-itself is the ground of all this consequent sense data given within the innate forms of my mind; my mind has innate functions, operations characteristic of it, that structure this given sensory content into the orderly, regular, intelligible, predictable patterns that characterize the natural world and this world's progression through time.
