Why is it not taught in school?
But it is. You've noticed we have a Tory government, right? Who likes to wank over the empire because MUH RAILROADS, MUH NO SUNSET
It's a condition of modern society's view of the world. The empires of the past are seen as a shameful and guilt ridden aspect of history.

Is Adolf Hitler the only person in history to have united the Germanic Peoples under one flag?
>>476337
No because by the time he rolled around there were many germans in the US. More than in the Sudetenlands and Austria, for instance.
He didn't (Sweden, Swiss)
Were the middle ages a comfier age to live?

Is this a meme or is Al Sharpton telling the truth?
It's a meme and completely false. They did build pyramids? Sure, mostly as slaves. Was the white man living in caves at the time? No only no but fuck no.
Tru, senpai. We waz pyr'mid buildaz n phillosophas n smart n shit nigguh. Fukkk whitey desu.
>>475615
Because Al Sharpton is known for his great historical scholarship and research, right?
The quote is real, the contents are false.
So I've been watching HBO's Rome because according to /his/ it is the best series ever made but then:
>I've just savagely killed your husband
>Will you marry me?
>yes
>Cicero's messenger has time to escape
>Cicero doesn't have time to escape despite being with his messenger
you just cant make this shit up
Nigga you got it wrong Three Kingdoms is the best series ever made
>>475484
Will check it out
I wish there was a Rome-tier medieval series instead of fantasy dragunz faggotry like GoT.
> From the day Zeno became Crates’s pupil, he showed a strong bent for philosophy, though with too much native modesty to assimilate Cynic shamelessness. Hence Crates, desirous of curing this defect in him, gave him a potful of lentil-soup to carry through the Ceramicus; and when he saw that Zeno was ashamed and tried to keep it out of sight, Crates broke the pot with a blow of his staff. As Zeno began to run off in embarrassment with the lentil-soup flowing down his legs, Crates chided “Why run away, my little Phoenician?”, “nothing terrible has befallen you.”
>Zeno began teaching in the colonnade in the Agora of Athens known as the Stoa Poikile (Greek Στοὰ Ποιkίλη) in 301 BC. His disciples were initially called Zenonians, but eventually they came to be known as Stoics
Are Stoics just Cynics who can't handle the banter?
9/10 made me lol
>>475437
What's so bad about carrying lentil soup?
>>475437
Yes
Morality is as intrinsic to the universe as gravity. ??? gives us physical laws, physical laws set the evolution ball rolling, evolution gives us consciousness, consciousness gives us intuitions, codes, and principles on how to successfully navigate through this universe we find ourselves in with a minimum of suffering inflicted on ourselves and others.
We can only conclude then that the universe is moral, because it gave us the objective conditions to produce moral life in the first place. Evil, predation, the cold indifference of matter, are not the rule, they are what must be transcended. Prove me wrong. Protip: you can't
>>475374
"Prove me wrong"
No you fucking dip PROVE your statement. You just made a list of fucking assertions strong together incoherently.
>big bang therefore Hegel fuck you thats why
What does /his/ think of Jiddu Krishnamurti?

>Humans have a morality
>This morality is God
>Have a consciousness? Are you alive?
>Better believe that's God
>Here's the universe
>Let's call it God
>Humans tend to work like parts tending toward a whole.
>Is this God?
>The universe, conceptually, is formed from an absolute, unformed agent?
>Better call it God!
Why do people tack the word God onto anything they please? Is its meaning really subjective?
>>475283
Of course.
Where'd objective meaning come from? God or something?
what's your point, buttboy? you wanna point boys in the butt and get away with it?
>>475283
In the absence of any other information and without the vast academic industry and scientific and philosophical canon we have now, it was as good an answer as any.
It's servez a purpose nowadays for oldies cramming for the finals and for reactionary edgelords reaching for ideological justification for their sense of superiority in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
Religiose edgelords are just as bad as their atheist counterparts in terms of shitting up a discussion.
Just how mad was FDR?
He was so furious he had to sit down.
Probably not much.
>>475282
It was an election year and popular opinion wanted this to be done.
>Captured without a shot fired by less than 100 Germans
>millions of lesser-caliber shells were later fired at the fort to little avail
>tens of thousands of men died in attempts to recapture it.
>Hundreds of Germans died in an instant when a explosion ripped through the fort after a magazine caught fire
Truly the most interesting spot of World War 1
War is hell ain't it?
