What an absolute madman

Someone should write a book on the absolute madmen of history.
Assuming something like that doesn't already exist.

What did he mean by that?

Tell me why Nietzsche wasn't the greatest philosopher of all time.
Protip: you can't.
>I know my fate. One day my name will be associated with the memory of something tremendous — a crisis without equal on earth, the most profound collision of conscience, a decision that was conjured up against everything that had been believed, demanded, hallowed so far. I am no man, I am dynamite.

Anybody can ask questions and come up with answers - no matter how stupid and un-understandable they are. Philosophy solves nothing, but I do believe teaches great lessons.

Kind of a cop out
Why is irony appreciated?
It's a window to their true selves without the vulnerability normally associated with self expression.
Not everyone does trust me, generally the more intelligent appreciate it
I always thought patterns were soothing. Makes us feel assured that were not in pure chaos. Irony is kind of a deviation in a pattern
When did Buddhism, Zoroastrianism and Hinduism disappear from Central Asia (modern "stans")? They certainly must have lingered for some time after the Muslim conquest. Was it Timur who finally destroyed them?
>>1421889
Timur lane litteraly genocided them
I remember reading somewhere that Iran was still majority Zoroastrian until the Safavid dynasty
>>1421956
Timur also killed more muslims than anyone else in history.
Robert Brasillach is a fascinating figure.
For those unaware, he was an intellectual who openly held Fascist sympathies in Vichy France expressed in the newspaper Je suis partout which he edited. Infamously, he was executed by the state for his role as editor, which included publishing the names and addresses of various Jews and members of La Resistance. He later spent his time promoting collaboration and German victory, and also called for the execution of political opponents in his paper. His execution is controversial because his crimes, rather than militaristic or...

Who were the similar criminals?
I wouldn't have executed any of them, I would have put them in prisons, thrown away the keys and see what happens. Not because they're fascists, but because what they did resulted in innocent people being executed.
If they get killed in their for being traitors in the prisons, so be it, and the same goes for if they don't.
>>1421848
He did basically the job of an informator. I dont see intellectual work about those deeds. Maybe about the rest of what he did, but denuncing people is sure not an intellectual work.
It's not because someone is labelled, or an intellectual overall, that all he does is intellectual work.

Aiding genocide is a heinous crime and those other collaborators should have been given harsher sentences.
The handling of the Rwandan genocide was quite exemplary: People such as Kabuga, Ruggiu and Bemeriki who were involved with RTLM, the radio responsible for broadcasting calls for genocide and giving out the position of groups of Tutsi to massacre, were charged with complicity in genocide or public incitement to commit genocide and ended up in prison (except for those still on the run.)

Was he the worst emperor of all time? Or even the worst leader of all time?
>>1421775
No he wasn't worse Nicky was
I hate this meme.
Germany was a constitutional monarchy like Britain. The Kaiser did not make the laws. They had a parliament that did that. He was not the executive head of the government. That was the Chancellor. His power as Kaiser was essentially the same as the Queen's power in Britain. They formally approve of and dismiss the Chancellor/Prime Minister.
The worst that can be said of Wilhelm II is that he was a boob. He loved extravagance and regality and pomp and ceremony. He loved Germany and its martial values. He was effusive and impetuous which often...

Sup /his/.
I've been researching my family tree and I've come across one of my ancestors in an old Canadian census (circa 1850s). He lived on the east coast and owned about 40 acres of land.
His trade/profession/occupation is pic related.
I'm wondering if this is difficult for me to read because it is a deprecated profession or an archaic word.
Can anyone provide some context of the time period or perhaps read this cursive? This is the highest resolution scan of the document.
Here are the rest of the professions listed on that page of the census.
These are all professions of house heads in the same township.

Dear /his/, wouldn't it have been wonderful if Stadtholder William III of Holland, Zeeland, Utrecht, Gelderland and Overijssel, King of England, Ireland and Scotland and his wife, Mary II, had had children? The world would have seen an Anglo-Dutch empire capable of ruling Europe and the world as a whole better than the English could on their own. With the combined fleets of the Netherlands and Britain and the colonial ventures of both these superpowers there would not have been anything to stop the Anglo-Dutch Empire from ruling the world until eternity. The USA would,...

Cool story bro!
Yeah that would be neat.
Instead of Holland going into collapse during the 1700s (being pushed around by France, Prussia and Austria) they would have been like a Scotland or Wales but with a massive center of economic power.
tl;dr IRL Amsterdam lost money war to London
tl;dr ALT HIS Amsterdam becomes sister city and economic powerhouse along with London
