Can it be debunked?The flesh is human cardiac tissue -- specifically myocardium, the heart muscle. The blood is human, type AB. The same blood type found on the Shroud of Turin and the Sudarium of Oviedo.The flesh and blood were found to be fresh, as if taken from a living person that day, despite being over 1200 years old. No preservatives or embalming substances were detected.The protein patterns in the blood are identical to those of fresh normal blood. The tissue shows no evidence of decay or mummification.The tissue shows no foul play, as its structure would have been impossible to cut in the 800s.https://catholicexchange.com/the-ancient-eucharistic-miracle-at-lanciano/https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XJeyWSNCv2RDg5515Naa20vYNKiibkhh1NQPB9rHiB0/mobilebasic> The histological diagnosis of myocardium, based on indisputable objective elements (*), makes the hypothesis of a "false" made in ancient times unacceptable.> In fact, even supposing that the heart had been removed from a cadaver, it must be considered that only a hand expert in anatomical dissection could have, and not without serious difficulty, obtained from a hollow viscus a uniform and continuous "slice", tangential to the surface of the viscus, as can be deduced from the predominantly longitudinal course of the myocardial fibers, taking into account (CHIARUGI, 1934 [1]) that it is precisely in the superficial, mantle-like area of the heart that the bundles of fibers with a longitudinal course that rapidly becomes oblique are found.
Why did black americans become a nation within a nation?Most black americans see themselves as distinctly seperate from the american national identity. They believe they have no role in america's actions whether in the past or present and american identity is congruent with white people. That's why they say that the government of the country should give them reparations as if they part of a different country, and keep repeating the notion that blacks built america, when anyone part of the national framework would not have to say that in a forced way. Many even say that by serving in the military they fought in "white people's wars".black americans are like arab israelis in israel, or kurds in turkeyWhy did they fail to become fully american?
>>18522920Ethnogenesis or assimilation can prevent this when people don't actively try to maintain division (which is explicitly what segregation was designed for). Black Americans wouldn't even exist anymore if they had simply been bred out of existence by mixing with whites, they're only 10-15% of the population after all.Every Afrikaans white South African has black ancestry from the early 17th century but nobody can even "spot" that, the same would've probably happened to the descendants of mixed blacks in the USA if Jim Crow hadn't tried to "freeze" the racial line.

>>18522555Almost everyone loves the people and culture of their country while not feeling a strong loyalty to the government that rules over them. This isn't unique to Black Americans or America
>>18522555>Why did black americans become a nation within a nation?The nation (more or less) specifically made it very clear they did not want anything to do with them unless it meant taxing them or sending them to die for the cause of someone who hated them. Several times.That tends to help the development of a separate culture and ethos from the majoritarian one.>Why did they fail to become fully american?Slavery, segregation, racism. Unironically. It's not a mystery. Up to a few decades a large amount of Americans didn't want them to be 'fully' american, despite the ironic fact they would have a stronger claim than many white Americans had they not been niggers.
>>18522555You got it backwards, Israelis are like black americans in Palestine, except they were never enslaved, they just bumrushed the country and imposed themselves on it, successfully imposed a system of apartheid and periodic genocide on the native population.
Do you think China regrets not having its own Meiji restoration period
Bing Bong
>>18518497>Do you think China regrets not having its own Meiji restoration periodImmensely. Japan was forcibly opened by the US but the Japanese immediately saw the value in things like steam engines, western medicine, railroads, western military doctrine and technology, etc. - even if they had to fight a series of civil wars over it - and they were very aware that the Russians were already approaching from the north. It certainly wasn't a painless transition but it ended up with their house in order and access to the cutting-edge technology of the day.For all that the communists hated imperial institutions they sure would have loved it if there was one last strong emperor who said "okay, let's get out of the middle ages" sometime in the 19th century before handing the throne off to the typical unpopular and easily-disposed incompetent.
>>18523369 >profound and irreversible, irrecoverable loss of priceless Chinese literature, art and artifactsAlways found that a little hard to believe, at least on a large scale. You'd think decades of qing decline, decades of revolution and brutal warlord fighting, and decades of red v.s. blue fighting (plus japanese occupation), plus massive famines both during the war(s) and in the postwar period did a pretty good job at destroying the vestiges of TRVDITIONVL chinese culture, no funny dong man or angry college students needed

What if our conception of God is just personification of the Universe?As in God is not a literal person but just a metaphor to attribute personal qualities to the Universe?What if the Universe is just a machine, that is governed by the laws of physics?>I don't believe in a personal god, but I will acknowledge that "God" can be a way of personifying the Universe. I'd say am a crossover between Atheism & Pantheism, if there is such..And some people resorting to insults instead of respectful debates, I mean sure this is 4chan, but come on this is /his/ which is one of the higher end boards.>Even if Jesus was a real historical person, so was Buddha, Muhammad.

Most underrated / overrated WW2 soviet commanders?
>>18522441>I wonder if the exploits of the 1st Guards Cavalry Corps aren't (somewhat) exaggerated; they do seem too good to be trueLike everything else pertaining to the Eastern Front i'd put it at sitting somewhere in-between myth and reality. I don't have much trouble believing that fast-moving Russian light infantry on horseback through snowstorms often did well in chopping up, routing and spreading panic amongst masses of starving, freezing German/Romanian/Italian riflemen caught in a blizzard. But there are also several well-documented instances in 1941-early 1942 of Russian cavalry charges getting mulched by going headlong into entrenched and ready German positions with the krauts taking almost no losses.
I would say Brusilov. He was a great tactician. He made great innovations and achieved great success despite limited ressources.But the most underestimated is Castlenau : he have an impressive list of success, but all of its actions were always overshadowed for some reasons : despite being a decisive factor for the Marne victory, his success at Charmes and Grand Couronne were overshadowed by the frontwide distaster then the battle of the Marne itself. He warned about the danger at Verdun and played a huge role at holding the line in the first days, but all the credit went to Petain who came after him. Being Joffre second in command, he was sacked when hecwas replaced by Foch. In 1918, we was supposed to deliver the final blow to the collapsing german army with a big final offensive planned in november but the peace ended this opportunity. He was also a decent human being : he lost his two sons in battle sobhe knew the price of life. His men loved him.

>>18523886>>18523893How do they arise? Why?Almost as if the formless indifference is utterly despicable to itself. Why else would this otherness emerge? Why does the Yawning Chasm open?

>>18524388>>Cringe and verbose LLM slop >Those who speak do not know etc.I agree. And Ive been dealing with this stuff for 10 years being directly harassed by people with sophisticated quantum technology and I roll my eyes at the kind of post from people who just want to drone on and on.Things do need form, or else they would not need that which is formed and structured to communicate.There's more multiple ideas of formless. There's a structure in which things exist that has no particular form but operates in a different way so who is to say it has no form?And then there is that which has become formless that is desperately trying to become formed once more. It's what happens when people want to pretend like there aren't multiple layers to all of our problems.Blah blah

He was a hero who saved the British Empire, and only contrarian retard faggots think others
*think otherwise
I feel like this guy's existence was a cosmic humiliation ritual for the Brits. Their imperial run was ended by a fat alcoholic retard who enslaved them to the hated Yanks, killed off hundreds of thousands of his own people, then left the scene after establishing the path for the Windrush generation and the long-term wogging of the island.What an amusing joke it all was. The national equivalent of giving a speech in front of the community and being attacked by a badger that tears off your pants and exposes your tiny penis to the world.>Don't worry, dear! You won the fight with that badger! The badger is gone, but you're still here! Isn't that a victory?This is Churchill's 'legacy.' No wonder people have started trashing his statues and monuments in recent years, as all of this becomes increasingly obvious.
>>18524289they trash his statues because he was a racist (which is true) but he still is one of the greatest Brit to ever live, who was instrumental in bringing down the the evil child-murdering cartel of subhuman pagan nazi orcs, saving Europe in the process

>>18524423From a military perspective he was probably the worst ww2 leader, yes even arguably worse than Hitler.Britain could have won the N.Africa front already in early 1941 but against literally everyones advice he sent all British heavy equiptment to Greece. It was the second time Britain had lost all its heavy equiptment. A defeat like that would have costed Germany the war.The defeat at Gazala (Britains most catastrophic defeat in ww2) was also largley due to Churchills constant intervention. He demanded that Auchinleck moved into a forward position to attack (because Churchill was facing a vote-of-no-cofidence in London) despite Auchinleck pleading that the British forces were not ready. After Rommel had broken through the line Chruchill veto that Tobruk must be defended despite everyone telling him that leaving men at Tobruk would mean they would be instantly captured, which is exactly what happened.In the East African campaign he scorned Wavell for executing a near-perfect withdraw of British forces against overwhelming odds because Churchill would have rather seen thousands of British casualties just for the sake of image. Wavell later conquered East Africa with minimal casualties which Churchill immediately credited to himself.He overworked his generals to an absurd level. Both Auchinleck and Wavell were assigned command of N.Africa, Mediteranian, Middle east, Mesopotamia, Palestine, India, and East Africa, meaning they had a command responsibility over an area of 5000 km. It wasnt until Montgomery that Churchill realised his mistake and decided to make N.Africa a seperate field of operations which greatly reduced workload for Montgomery.There is so much more to it but basically Churchill was a complete narcissist who never accepted responsibility, always shifted the blame on others, always tried to build a cult of personality around himself (he did Chamberlain dirty as well), and his actions greatly prolonged the war.
