Well, the thread's a shitpost, but have you actually gone through his records and diaries? He was hardly an occult reject, I mean dude was a Cambridge educated chemist, who declined the degree despite completing it, he's one of the better educated dudes we've had in the last 100 years of occult theory.
There's a huge repository of his material in my thread with the library.
Did Jesus believe in Adam & Eve, Abraham, Moses and the rest of the OT figures?
Well he was a Jew so I'm guessing he did.
>>883650
Moses appeared on Mt. Tabor when Jesus was transfigured. Jesus came to undo Adam's sin. Christians are the seed of Abraham.

So Christianity depends on the existence of all three as per the OT account
Hey /his/.
I'm part of a philosophy club at my school and next week we will be meeting to discuss the topic of altruism. The professor heading the club assigned us some excerpts from Ayn Rand and Nietzsche critiquing altruism (they haven't been emailed to us yet, so I have nothing to show you guys at the moment).
I'd like to make some kind of case for altruism, if possible, and so I'd like some perspectives on the matter. It's not a philosophic issue I've ever looked into before, although I am basically already familiar with Rand and Nietzsche's views.
Is altruism possible? How? What I'd really like is if anyone could refer me to what church fathers have said on this, or even Christian or secular philosophers if they have valuable perspectives.

What a joke.
Does /his/ agree with pic related?
Has philosophy really been made obsolete by science?
Nope. If anything, science raises even more philosophical questions.
>>883392
Nope.
Science can only dig ever deeper, but the issue is, there's turtle's all the way down.

Not even close. Nobody cares about finding aliums if dindus are surrounding your neighborhood/nation etc.
So what was the real reason the Soviet Union collapsed?
>>883350
massive prevalence of FAS.
Everyone was drunk and didn't realize what they were doing. Woke up with a hangover and eltsin and bush in bed and it was too late.

>Not reading it in the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek.
It's your own fault damn it.
>>883334
Because most Christians say they're Christians without having a single clue what the bible says, or where their religion came from?
All they know is what "Muh Preacha sayd"
If Aliens came down, fucked up the worlds collective armed forces in a few days and rather than eliminating us they started ruling the planet do you think human societies would continue rebelling if the aliens actually did a better job than human governments or would nationalism and nepotism drive us to further rebellion?
Are there examples of nationalistic movements rebelling against foreigners who were doing a better job than the local strong men?

Has religion always just been a coping tool for poverty?

But the Pope is incredibly wealthy.

Is it me or this cunt barely had any control over anything that happened in his life ? Could he have done something (is it the proper spelling) ?
wild guess: you're korean
>>883233
Basically, no. You have to remember that the ruling class of the Qing dynasty was of a completely different ethnic group and were thus seen as usurpers ever since the very beginning. As if the civil war in China wasnt enough to bury the Manchus further into the dustbin of history, then came along the Japanese empire who cucked the Manchus last emperor into powerlessness with every meaning of the word.
>>883242
From what I read and the movie I saw on him I barely heard about korea having any influence in his life baring the korean immigrant in the puppet state so why do you say that
Does anyone here like alt History of any sort?
Heres a map I made around the 1920s/30s where WW1 doesnt happen and series of smaller wars cause the collapse of the Russian, Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian Empire, also something a bit out there with a post Spanish American war Iberian union. General clash of Nationalism, Imperialism and Decolonization and 1890-1939 politics in general.
>>883218
just curious as to why? i understand that the quality of many fictional works out there is dubious, but what specifically dont you like?
What about Alt Alt History
Here is my Dungeons and Dragons map.
Can you think of some other countries I should add?
>>883240
i remember you posted this here before
its too influenced by historic names and geography
like, seriousyl? Esplendia? Gothos? Sultanate? Abyssid took it too far. also, never end any name in -os-, -ia, or make it sound like a language that exists in our world.
the look is pretty good. but you need to seriously work on your world building
Which has the best music, /his/?
I think leftist music is on average better than rightist music, but that the best political song ever is rightist: Cara al Sol
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xe_mzj5TjgI
What genre are we speaking of? Rock music made by racists is clearly inferior to stuff made by leftists.
Also some aryan music:

>>883173
>best political song ever
>generic anthem
But yes, on the whole leftist music is typically better, probably because leftists in general are more likely to experiment and push boundaries in art.
>>883196
>generic anthem
What's wrong with the basics done right, anon? The Italian fascist songs are often quite competent too. Nazi music is dismal, however.
I think that's a good observation that leftist music is more likely to be experimental.
Starting us off with an obvious choice. Title says it all, what are comfy history docs? Bonus points if soundtrack is good.
top tier soundtrack
also i will not stop pushing this doc until some one watches it and tells me what they think

Awesome doc. I argue that all Ken Burns documentaries are pretty damn good
>the patriarchy is the cause of all problems in history
Is there any merit to this statement?
No but does anyone say or believe that?
>>883103
Sadly there is a vocal minority
So I'm a moderate conservative, and even I can recognize that there are issues with patriarchy. It is clear when reading some epidemiologists, say, Lorraine Code, that patriarchy isn't the only problem. At least not men. Patriarchy is first off a really specific problem in continental philosophy. It either isn't an issue in some places, such as India and China, or patriarchal structures didn't manifest the way they did in "the west", such as Jewish versions of patriarchy.
Patriarchy isn't the big bad boogeyman it is made out to be. Is there merit to the issues it has presented? Sure, of course. But the way it has manifested has been adopted by some places, and is quite different in others.

Why were Souther Europeans rejected in the U.S and Australia?
They are Catholics.
Can't have what we use as a substitute for Jews in our conspiracy theories in our countries, can we?
>>882798
Cause they were insecure of their own whiteness so they have to bash others to feel better and avoid being suspected.
>>882798
they were?
