My high school had "accelerated" English studies but never a real philosophy class
>>1125952
I just finished ap history and I realized how bloated it is.
Our teacher told us that Islam was the only religion in the world that did not condone slavery. I argued that they were just as guilty, as Islamic forces kidnapped young christian children and forced them to fight their own brothers, stealing them from their families. I got called down to the office later and was told to stop being so blindy eurocentric
>>1127766

Maybe cringe, definitely autism
During 7th grade""""" social
studies""""""" we were playing some trivia game, and the class was divided into teams.
The topic was ww1, and I answered every single question for our team because no one wanted to participate.
The other team was getting extremely buttblasted that I was destroying them on my own, and complained to the teacher.
The teacher forbade me playing for the rest of the year, and made me full-time score keeper.
Shit was weak.
>>1127827

European powers had global empires well before colonising Africa in any significant capacity. Early Modern colonisation of Africa was mostly limited to coastal areas.
It was the expansion into the Americas, South East Asia and India that gave European powers the resources they had in the Early Modern period. Africa started being more relevant to colonial expansion in the 19th century onwards with the scramble for its interior.
>>1127911
European powers certainly held dominance well before the scramble for Africa, but prior to the growth of the Portuguese and Spanish empires, and the discovery of the Americas and the age of exploration? Not so much.
>>1127927
We're talking about a world that isn't globalised prior to the advent of colonialism. Whilst the Ming Dynasty was a very formidable power in it's region with a well and truly gigantic population and military presence for it's time - it was never a global power in the sense that Spain, Portugal, Britain or America were.
>>1127648
In my country its a part of the curriculum, but it's more regurgitation of ideas, than an open discussion. But there are some essays to wtite, so it's not openly deboid of it.
We even has it in primary, but we didnt get past the Greeks, since the teacher tried to teach the thought behind philosophy.
>>1127766
One correction lad
Islam, or any religion, isn't monolithic, something your teacher and course also got wrong. You talk about Ottoman Janissaries, but refer to them as Islamic forces, which gives a pretty vague impression.
Otherwise, yeah your teacher is a dumbass. Whilst some early Islamic figures were anti-slavery, some of them being former slaves themselves, many of the Caliphates and later Middle Eastern empires and polities had thriving slave trades.
Look up the Zanj Rebellion, a slave revolt by largely African slaves that took place in Iraq, then part of the Abbasid Caliphate - in the 9th century ffs
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zanj_Rebellion
Also many slaver states like the Zanzibar sultanate (which was taking slaves well into the late 19th century) and the like were predominantly Islamic.
Your teacher was a dipshit lad, and probably because they themselves are Eurocentric enough to know so little of the history of Africa and the Middle East.

Any kind of romanticism is disconcerting. Life for most people in history was shit.
The vast majority of Romans were poor as shit and Rome was built largerly from wood, which is why fire was such a big problem, and why the vigiles were founded.
Most Norsemen were farmers and the Vikings were poorly equipped compared to the professional troops fielded by the likes of the Lombards, the Franks, and the Byzantines.

The only timezone where any other nation or area came close to the top european country was after the collapse of the roman empire
in terms of technology and inventions it follows the same route, rome was the top dog until the collapse, Europe catched up in the middle ages again and exponentially became dominant in economy and science, every country today is built from the ground up with euro tech and inventions
>>1127859
>Aztecs sacrificing people
This is exaggerated typically. Archaeology finds many less executed remains than would be expected from what the Spanish wrote. Also other ancient people sacrificed humans. You see faint traces and a few actual examples in Greek and Roman antiquity.
>>1133771
>same route, rome was the top dog until the collapse, Europe catched up in the middle ages again
So basically Europe hasn't always been on top? Rome of course was a high point and obviously modern day since around the 1600s but other than that Europe has been insignificant historically.
>>1133817
>>You see faint traces and a few actual examples in Greek and Roman antiquity.
Maybe, but the Greco-Roman culture outlawed human sacrifice fairly early, and throughout most of it's history didn't do it.

I thought that philosophy in high school was common and even kind of "mandatory" around all Europe, maybe all the west.

What's with all these kids reporting on how their high school history class was anti-European? Did /pol/ convince them to remember their experience as 'PC propaganda' or have high schools really changed that much in the 8 years since I graduated?
When I was in high school, in New York State mind you, it was the same tired eurocentric garbage it's always been. Africa had no history until slavery and none after colonialism. Columbus 'discovered' a continent that was paradoxically enough already inhabited by people, who were incidentally noble savages (without using that term of course). WW2 (america's perspective exclusively) was about a quarter of the year, or felt like it. America is essentially superman, does no wrong by definition, every single important person who ever lived and had a name to be remembered was a (fucking) white male, etc.

was in philosophy of science class and this autist (who I took logic and ethics with) keeps asking metaphysical questions.

that's like a high school version of my undergrad lectures
>be undergrad
>every lecture this student would always argue with lecturer
>always bullshit like "but that's a spook", "just a fixed idea", quoting Max Stirner
>lecturer was actually equipped to deal with this
>lecturer [paraphrased]: "Stirner knows his own doctrine does not have a leg to stand on, that the whole exercise he engages in is contradictory. His whole project is a failure simply because it's a contradiction. The only way you could consider it a success is if you think the overall outcome is that you have the ability to question or attack ideology. But that is hardly a quality specific to Stirner's writings, it's simply the ability to think critically, and it's what most philosophers with a system of thought have done throughout history. Except Stirner appears to be inferior to most of them because where every other philosopher attacks the previous prevailing ideology and replaces its center in its own coherent if not infallible manner, Stirner simply attacks these ideologies with no center to prevail in replacement, the attack itself is contradictory, and there is no real insight gained into the lack of the center because Stirner himself has no answer or interest in attempting to solve this contradiction of negation. So where every other philosopher has been out with the old and in with the new, Stirner is simply out with the old, and not even in a logical manner, with no new. You're getting short-changed and fucked in the ass. And on the other hand there are numerous more in-depth attempts to address the contradictory logic of negation Stirner is using, from Zen to Deconstruction".
>lecturer recommends some Zen, Derrida, Nietzsche literature at the end of the class, cheekily tells us to thank that petulant student for these

I seriously fucking doubt this.
The war was plastered fucking everywhere, you'd have to deaf blind and mute to not know it exists
>>1135403
>>some things are just necessarily self evident even the irrational is rational
I can't tell if you or the teacher said this, and the statement itself has no context. The whole impression of your post is that you were just arrogant beyond your abilities and even some mute kid broke their silence to point that out. Especially since your account should be at least slightly biased in your favour, and even then its not convincing.

Well, it says straight outta Konigsberg, so it is meant to be Kant. It certainly doesn't look like any portrait of Kant I have ever seen
>>1135679
This, if you can show that kid up then do it. If the teacher lets him speak out, he'll let you do so too.

>Frederick the Great
But why would it say straight out of konigsberg? it's famous for its bridges and for Kant. not exactly an important part of the prussian kingdom
>>1140609
Königsberg is pretty much the "most Prussian city". It is the biggest city in the original Prussian territory while Berlin is located in Brandenburg.
>>1140628
but it was just a porch city without much government or whatever. it wasn't the center of prussian life in any way. it just seems very strange to me.
>>1140609
Because he was King in Prussia (later of Prussia). At the time of his ascent, Prussia and Brandenburg were still largely separate entities, as >>1140628 said, so Berlin wasn't "Prussian." Frederick and his father both thought coronation ceremonies were a waste of time and money, but if they had been coronated, it would have been in Königsberg.
Just American education in general. Our history was way too Americentric. We spent, like, one year on European history. The rest was US history. I had to teach myself the French Revolution, because we never learned it.
Also, my one music teacher was a Holocaust-denier.

What is the point of giving wrong informations? If you can't summarize something into a short video without leaving important informations out then you probably shouldn't make that video at all (if you think knowledge has some dignity, that is)

Compare the quality of "persians", "ethiopians", and "libyans" in say Herodotus, to the quality of those peoples residing there today.

Why is /his/ and /pol/ so retarded when it comes to genetics holy fuck that isn't how genes work you spergtard
>>1141307
I think they are mislabelling "breeding" as "genetics". To be fair the nature/nurture spectrum is pretty controversial, easily confusing and not at all clearly demarcated.
You mustn't deplore their intention to challenge the fallacies that only nurture counts, that human breeding is a priori sinful, that because lineage is not inherently meritocratic we should destroy its advantages and start over with the abstract "equality" ideal, etc
