How do I deal with these feels?

An hero then be reincarnated in the past
I fear no oblivion for thy just deeds, standing as
thou dost in thy place appointed by the Supreme Lord of All, who governs all things.
Therefore, O Nezahualcoyotl, rejoice in what the
present offers, crown thyself with flowers from thy gardens
hear my song and music which aim to please thee.
The pleasures and riches of this life are but loaned,
their substance is vain, their appearance illusory;
and so true is this that I ask thee for an answer to these questions:
What has become of Cihuapan? Of the brave Quantzintecomatzin?
Of Conahuatzin? What of all these people?
Perhaps these very words have already passed into another life.
Would that we who are now united by the ties of love and friendship could foresee the sharp edge of death, for nothing is certain, and the future ever brings changes.

Hey can somebody recommend me a good research topic for the October Russian revolution? I noticed that a lot of Jews are related to the revolution and communism but the paper is supposed to use many sources from that specific period. Like a primary source from that exact period. Which is pretty annoying but whatever.

Looking for good history documentary series, got any recommendations /his/?
We're specifically interested in ancient history and classic civilisations, as well as late antiquity/early medieval

Theres this GREAT series on the history channel that shows how these ancient societys were succesful. You should check it out op.
According to platonic philosophy (and individual) opinion is it best to call the demiurge evil? Or simply inept?
>inb4 Gnosticism
>>918632
Neoplatonics would be hard pressed to view the Demiurge as anything LESS than inept, up to and including full blown benevolent. which Timaeus asserts very stiffly.
It's only around the time of Plotinus' reaching toward henology that the point of view starts to erode.
Apparently the Pythagoreans were also speculating on nature of demiurge, covered in:

Do we live in the Kali Yuga? Was Evola right after all?

When will rightists ever not be BTFO?
>>918518
Well the crux of the argument isn't anything Evola had to say, it's what's described in the scriptures and whether or not they reflect our current context.
This then also depends on the sect in question. For some folks the Kali Yuga does not begin until all Dharma has been wiped from the earth. If that's the criteria and you've heard of the Vedas or Buddha, you're not in the Kali Yuga.
Srimad-Bhagavatam gets a bit more sweeping and vauge describing lots of social ills that have mirrors in Revelations or Kalachakra Tantra.
Given the basic timeline that's advocated we are indeed technically in that age, however, most of the criteria described have not come to pass, particularly in India where Sanskrit's a national language and Bhagavad Gita is acknowledged as a treasure by the Indian government.

do you ever feel like this government (usa) was imposed on you and as grown so powerful we cannot rid ourselves of it, (in such a large population) and the IRS is racketeering you? How do you feel about the saying "Taxation is Theft".
Like you must make sure these Senators are getting their triple digit salaries or else you will be hunted down. And who has a say in it?
>>918191
I agree with your opinion but what do.
Have fun with the shitposters.
>>918232
that is such a carter thing to say
Having such a a large government apparatus has its pros and its cons but generally the benefits outweigh the risks.
"Taxation is theft" is childish and naive. Grow the fuck up.
I have the theory that people of all ages believed that
a) world is going to end soon
b) world is gonign to end because of human wrongdoing (disrespecting gods/nuclear war/global warming etc.)
Do you think this theory is accurate?
Well considering that it's not rely a theory and more just an an opinion and statement, it's kinda pointless to judge it terms of "accuracy."
>>918148
You don't find this idea until Christianity.
Nuclear war, environmental disaster, etc.are just secular versions of thinking about how we are being punished for our sin.
>>918148
yes, but they were also often right.
We just live in one of all the possible timelines, were we just didn't anihilate ourselves yet. Seriously, we were so fucking "lucky" several times now in regard to the nuclear holocaust, that the many worlds theory becomes more likely every day
