How have the Russians through out history to modern day been able to always absorb such incredibly amounts of death of their people?
>>18764339They transported that stone according to the plans of Marin Carburi a Greek engineer who studied at the University of Bologna. There is a somewhat plausible theory that he found ancient Roman methods for it.
>>18762126The romans you circlejerk over did the same
>>18762904Bruh neither place had high living standarfds, the romans literally collapsed apartments with people in them to collect insurance
>>18765763Are you underage? What do you think counts as "high living standards" in 100 AD?
>>18765770Quite literally anything would be better than being part of the malnourished deracinated slave masses of the Roman Empire. It was just a state of absolute subhumanity, with the collapse of the Empire (thank God), despite the collapse of accompanying Roman infrastructure and rule of law, people started noticeably getting taller, this is archaeological evidence their diets improved, they were healthier, their quality of life increased. Because Roman rule was diabolical tyranny, and even the rule of Gothic warlords was an improvement.
What events from history do you most wish could have been video recorded? I read a book about Comanches and it described some of the crazy feats and battle formations they performed on horseback, that's something I'd love to be able to see with my own two eyes.
>>18765579really any ancient battle, it would be great to see how they actually moved
>>18765579>I read a book about Comanches and it described some of the crazy feats and battle formations they performed on horsebackI’ll like to see the aftermath of the 1840 Linnville raid, where the Comanche hit a Texas port town then rode across the prairie decked out in looted Euro garb. No doubt this inspired Cormac Maccarthy’s famous scene in Blood Meridian.
>>18765579Tenochtitlan it its prime would have been crazy to see, giant pyramids on a manmade island, in a giant salt lake, surrounded by floating farms.
>>18765579I would also want to take a pill that allows me to understand each people as a native of theirs. But:Anything before the younger dryas impactThe first peoples in the wake of de-glaciation, doggerland etcThe raising and rituals of StonehengeSteppe herder invasion of europe & aryan invamsion of IndiaBronze age collapseThe military, religious, theatric, artistic and athletic practices of the ancient greeks up to the Alexandrian (PBUH) agePost-roman age of germanic migrationThe viking raids of England1066
>>18766112I feel like this is the obvious answer, except that the Gentling's paintings of Tenochtitlan are so good and we already have those that it almost makes me feel like it'd be better to use the magic video recording on something else
Pastor Steven Anderson is the only one to ever fully discover the correct interpretation of Christianity and spread his message to others. Anyone who disagrees will burn in hell for all eternity.
>>18766306Those verses don't say anything about blacks being impossible to be saved and you know it
>>18766308The world is saved when the children of God have their salvation in Christ. Believe it or not, dark hell-spawned demons benefit from recognizing the light of God in Christ, the children of God in Christ, as the one true living God. I however agree with Jesus, that any of them which will not submit to the will of the one true living God, the children of God in Christ, should be destroyed.
>>18765877He was pretty handsome but unfortunately being a manlet means he could only get a 3/10 germoid
>>18765971If something would be destroyed by the truth, then it should be destroyed by the truth.
>>18766304I don’t know how to tell you this, but I live in a country where not only do we not have “the hungry”, but the most important marker of poverty is obesity. The most important marker of homelessness is poor mental health and drug use. And I’m legally barred from recognizing “the stranger” as a foreigner. So if you’re advocating I should be given more personal authority to rectify these injustices against me, I’m all for it. But kinda doubt that’s your point.
>Taco Bell first added the Chalupa to their menu in 1999What have been the long-term historical consequences of this?
>>18765334Taco Bell was a key contributor to the California Mission Revival architecture style. Sadly they no longer build in this style anymore.
>>18767152Soul incarnate
>>18767152This building reminds me of something...something I feel like I was supposed to remember...it's probably nothing
>>18765334When was the cheesey gordita crunch?
>>18767150My grandma used to have an entire collection of Gidget Merchandise. They had plushes and bobbleheads, and I think one of them even made noise
Peterson argues that Myth came before morality and was used to derive propositional truths. On the evidence I've seen I think he is probably correct however I don't think it's relevant today. Myth is important because it can improve a person's life through a variety of mechanisms but in today's age the Myth first to morality second pipeline won't work. I can't take anyone who is literate and has grown up with common technology and give them a story, however beautiful and expect them to derive morality from it alone. As soon as they express to someone their reason for that particular perspective they will have it knocked down as a fiction, if they don't knock it down themselves first internally. I would argue that Myth has been used to justify harm in vastly more cases than it has been used to justify good.Am I wrong to think this? Can Myth > Morality still work today. Or must we abandon it and now accept Truth > Morality > Myth. Myth itself does not have to be abandoned it requires truth first.
>>18766845I like Jordan, but I don't think he is a guru. If he really wants to understand religion, he should do a podcast with some priest or something and ask questions, instead of going on 20 vs 1 and arguing about a theology he doesn't really seem to have all figured out.
>>18766845>>18766885He's often doing very bad Jungian and Nietzschean synthesis on topics that he doesn't understand well enough. His Biblical lectures were impossible to listen to for the fact that he doesn't know anything about the language or narratives so instead hyperfocuses on ridiculous tangents.By credentials (clinical psychology) he was better off adhering to his claimed American pragmatism, such as in "12 Rules for Life" which tries to tell people how to sanely behave in the world. That's much better to think about than the fever-dream abstractions he would rake up. But at the same time I think he legitimately had trouble going beyond individualism and resolving advice in the interpersonal domain. That's perhaps the biggest failure because people need to work and live together in not-so-curmudgeonly ways.
>>18766845>>18766885His spiral into what seemed to hit its bottom during the 20 v 1 reminds me of Richard Dawkins. It may have been 10 years ago now he was doing a lot of open question panels and became bitter from it. He would be red in the face in frustration while responding to shallow critiques. The way a person presents themselves in slop debates is of no relevance to their argument, perspective or their literature. I am neutral of as I am with Dawkins I engage in the idea not the person. I would never do the slop debate circuit it clearly damaged Dawkins and Peterson. It appeals to the lowest common cattle that won't read a book so they get their perspectives from that shit.
>>18767111If you haven't read Maps of Meaning you don't know Peterson. Like I said here >>18767180 you seem to be watching the slop.Do you think that Nietzsche would have articulated himself well in slop debates? No. And we should be thankful that what we know of him comes from his books.
>>18767180>His spiral into what seemed to hit its bottom during the 20 v 1 reminds me of Richard Dawkins.

I am neutral of as I am with Dawkins I engage in the idea not the person.Jordon and Dawkins issues is that they can't recognize when they shouldn't take critique seriously. There could've been a graceful way for someone like him to handle the 20 v 1 debacle, the first step would've been recognizing just how insane the debate format was in the first place, but he's too far up his own ass. People like Jordon aren't stupid but they also aren't as smart as they think they are. A smarter man would've recognized when they were being gish-galloped instead of panicking and resorting to splitting hairs over definitions. It's really painful to watch honestly

What would his Britain have looked like?

>>18767012>d&cPost nose
>>18767011He should’ve just stayed with the Labour Party and built his support from there. He destroyed himself with embracing fascism.
>>18767110You didn’t have to annex all of Africa to do that. To be fair to Britain, their expansion in Africa was spurred on by competing French and German moves, the French ones being done to save face after being BTFO in 1871. Britain wouldn’t have given a fuck outside of the mines in South Africa.
>>18767140>You didn’t have to annex all of Africa to do that.They were doing it to shut out the French and Germans as you said and eventually to try and get the Cape-Cairo railway going that would increase throughput from SA and basically all interior African colonies while decreasing the cost of exploring and exploiting raw materials
If there’s a Protestant who has no hatred towards anyone but makes a career out of successfully causing many Catholics to apostatise from their faith, can he still go to heaven according to the post-conciliar Catholic Church?
>>18765721Surely there has to be an answer.
>>18765721Yes, not automatically damnedThe same logic applies to him as anybody
>>18766618Could you elaborate on the reasoning behind that?

>Warns Stalin prior to the invasion of Finland that the Red Army is in a terrible condition >Always warns Stalin that Hitler is planning to invade the USSR>Stalin ignores him and has him fired, then arrested, then shotMoral of the story: Don't be good at your job in Stalinist Russia
>>18766801Stalin ignored so many people on so many different matters, the whole Barbarossa thing is jarring to say the least
>>18766813I find the long term damage Barbarossa did to the USSR, even with the final Soviet victory, obliterates Stalin’s legacy. The MR Pact blew up in his face in the worst possible way.
Why are the Gilded Age presidents so obscure and forgotten? Fortunately the miniseries Death By Lightning shown a little spotlight on Garfield and Arthur, but besides that they tend to be pretty forgettable outside of Grant simply because of the Civil War.
The Gilded Age was basically a bunch of bored trust fund kids protesting immigrant laborers getting their hand chopped off in a factory machine or something. The progressive movement sounds noble at first until you read that none of its activists were actually the poor schwump getting his hand chopped off, it was the factory owner's guilt tripping nephew at Harvard.
>>18766404>Many were disillusioned that the Civil War had failed to reignite a spirit of idealism among Americans and the climate of the postwar years was more about getting rich at all costs. There were complaints that contemporary politicians were uninspiring and the age of great political minds such as Jefferson, Madison, Clay, and Webster was gone.

In honor of Halloween, discuss folklore.
>>18767065Once you start looking, the amount of creatures reputed to have back-ward feet to confuse and subdue would be trackers is very large.
Grey Aliens (Zeta Reticulans) are peak cryptid folklore.
>>18767070Elaborate please.
>>18767079There is literally nothing about Crowley’s LAM that correlates to anything in Grey folklore except lmao big head.
In 1979, the Dulce concentration camp in Archiletta mesa New Mexico was underway. It’s where the aliens experimented on captured human test subjects with US gov approval… a rogue team of assailants tried to stop the aliens but the aliens killed most of them.
