Your saying constitution should have been changed a lot more

not the same guy.
but to me governance needs to be fluid over time. As societies evolve so must the laws and governing bodies.

Hey /his/,
I am working on a project regarding the manuscript tradition of Einhard's Life of Charlemagne. Both Paul Dutton and Thomas Noble cite Oswald Holder-Egger's version of the manuscript as the critical edition, but the digital Monumenta Germaniae Historica is giving me a dns error every time I attempt to access it. Does anyone know where I can access an alternative copy of Holder-Egger's manuscript?
Thank y'all

Are you looking for the original Latin? If not, any translation is going to have problems. It's free on Project Gutenberg
So how common and accepted was homosexuality in greek times?
pic unrelated.
>>916965
"there was no word for it" meme
Common enough. Accepted depends on time and place. In some cases encouraged, in others highly contentious.
I imagine there was some amount of split on this.
People never change, the world around them changes. I'm sure if 4chan existed in those times you'd have people calling out degeneracy and faggotry.
Is political science an actual science?
Yes. It's of the same sort of science as economics or astronomy in that you can't run experiments.
>>916910
>can't run experiments
>science
pick one.
Also, you most certainly can run astronomy experiments.
Economics, poly sci, not sciences.
Would you ask here if it was?

>so autistic he thought monism meant one thing and only one thing exists
Is Bertrand Russell the broodfather of autism?
>>916637
Where does he say that? Are you sure he wasn't talking specifically about Parmenides?
>>916672
He says he thinks monism is bunk because common sense always told him that there are a plurality of things, not just one thing. I wish I was making this shit up lol
>>916680
He's wrong, you know. It's actually both.
What does he mean by this ?
People become soulless shells of their former selves by age 25. Crushed and defeated by this hellish joke we call life.
I have always dreamed that i will become something great like Caesar or Napoleon when i was a kid... until i went past 24 and facing with cruelty reality.
Same thing Uncle Ed had to say.
>I am certainly of opinion that genius can be acquired, or, in the alternative, that it is an almost universal possession. Its rarity may be attributed to the crushing influence of a corrupted society. It is rare to meet a youth without high ideals, generous thoughts, a sense of holiness, of his own importance, which, being interpreted, is, of his own identity with God. Three years in the world, and he is a bank clerk or even a government official. Only those who intuitively understand from early boyhood that they must stand out, and who have the incredible courage and endurance to do so in the face of all that tyranny, callousness, and the scorn of inferiors can do; only these arrive at manhood uncontaminated.
Which is worse to be unsatisfied or to be disappointed? Would you rather live an unsatisfying life or a life full of disappointments?
I live in both.
I am a disappointment living an unsatisfying life.
Why does the United Fruit Company get such a bad reputation? Not even pro-capitalist people are willing to defend them, so the whole narrative focus on their role as an evil multinational corporation that exploited innocent Latin Americans.
Meanwhile in reality, they built a lot of infrastructure in the countries they operated, gave employment with better wages they could hope for to hundreds of thousands of impoverished peasants, who migrated from their lands to the unexplored regions of the Caribbean coast of Central America. The very fact that people constantly migrated to areas controlled by United Fruit shows that, whatever they did, it was better than what was going on before.
And look how things are now that they left. Cities like Puerto Barrios, Colón, Barranquilla, San Pedro Sula, these used to be great, prosperous (for their countries) cities, now they are all shitholes. San Pedro Sula, specially, is now the most violent city in the world.
How better would they be if an American company still ruled over them?
Nobody except retarded Sudacas ever heard of that shit.
>>916450
Fuck you, Colon is doing great because of the canal, and Baranquilla is decent, certainly not as bad as the interior
but yeah, as an Panamanian/Colombian-American, i'm pretty grateful for the US in the region. every time US invaded panama it worked out for the better.
What went wrong? Seems like decent contender for being regional power. Instead we got Russian and German people who ruined European history.
Go drink some more potato vodka Oleg, the actual countries are busy talking about advancing european history right now, something which meme "countries" like Pooland who unironically call themselves "christ of europe" can't even begin to grasp
Ukrainians got tired of being ruled by a foreigner, and the rest followed suit. It also didn't help that the Poles weakened their central government to be ineffective.
>>916480
Yeah, Russians and Austrians could just bribe X Polish noblemen to call off the governmenet every time it tried to do something. There really was no government at the end.
>It was a car accident. Nothing particularly remarkable, but fatal nonetheless. The EMTs tried their best to save you, but to no avail.
>And that's when you met me.
>Oh, -you said. -So what happens now? Do I go to heaven or hell or something?
>Neither, -I said. -You'll be reincarnated.
>Oh. -you said, a little let down. -But wait. If I get reincarnated to other places in time, could I have interacted with myself at some point?
>Sure. Happens all the time. And with both lives only aware of their own timespan you don't even know it's happening.
>I looked in your eye. -The meaning of life, the reason I made this whole universe, is for you to mature.
>You mean mankind? You want us to mature?
>No. just you. I made this whole universe for you. With each new life you grow and mature, and become a larger and greater intellect.
>Just me? What about everyone else?
>There is no one else, - I said. - In this universe, there's just you, and me.
>You stared blankly at me. - But all the people on earth...
>All you. Different incarnations of you.
>Wait. I'm everyone!?
>Now you're getting it. - I said, with a congratulatory slap on the back.
>I'm every human who ever lived?
>Or who will ever live, yes.
desu I can't wait for all the Norseboos- Oh, sorry, they're Christposters now, to become Buddhiposters. I feel like we could get some good discussion going when that happens.

Could he have stopped Caesar without resorting to assassination?
>>916087
he had a hands off approach.
What did he mean by this?
>>916044
this was before the musulmen were released from the imperial yoke and became disorderly, europeans had a more romanticized view of them, contrary to the current prevailing belief that eurocentric colonialists wanted to portray them as barbarians
>>916044
Apart from the mystic stuff about the Kingdom of Heaven, almost nothing Jesus said is incompatible with the left-wing pacifist worldview.
And don't quote that sword thing. "Turn the other cheek" has had infinitely more impact, and sums up Jesus's whole public persona.
Basically he's saying that christianity sucks
