>>18454290Look up PRIG.
>>18454599Looks pretty crude compared to some of the stuff Hezbollah has, but in fairness IRA would probably be more high tech by now too if they were still fighting
>>18448541I would argue that the IRAs greatest strength was achieving political goals by mainly targeting infrastructure, not assassinations. Rather than going after they servants of capital, they went after capital itself.

>The first widely documented suicide broadcast live on television is that of Christine Chubbuck on July 15 1974.>Chubbuck was a reporter for a small TV station in Sarasota. Despite her passion for the job her ratings would decline and, after tanking the bottom spot on the channel's broadcast for weeks on end, her supervisor would eventually advise her to switch her reporting over to violent crime, reportedly quipping that If "it bleeds it leads".>During a live morning news segment Christine would read a scripted report about violence in the community and then said something along the lines of "In keeping with Channel 40s policy of bringing you the latest in blood and guts..." before pulling out a handgun and shooting herself in the head live on air. She died later that day in the hospital.Christine's mother would have the following to say about her:>"She was terribly terribly depressed. She had a job that she loved but she had nothing else going on in her social life. She was very reserved, with few friends. No romantic attachments or prospects of any. She was a spinster at 29 and it really bothered her."

I asked Claude if Ruskin's system would increase or decrease GDP per capita and it actually wouldn't decrease GDP per capita that much if you pair it with a relatively high deregulation of the industrial sector. So basically give craft goods and services domain monopoly for human artisans and deregulate the industrial sector and it apparently works out into 45 - 60% of the labour force becomes artisans with neglible reduction in GDP per capita and I actually got the GDP per capita to increase with georgist reforms so basically the last 200 years was all for nothing

Almost any other view is more plausible than thinking fine-tuning is brute Certain parameters in physics fall in a very narrow range needed for the formation of life. If they didn’t fall in this range, either the universe would have just been floating clouds of hydrogen gas, or all particles would immediately fly apart, or the universe would immediately collapse. The physics behind this claim is largely uncontroversial. As theoretical physicist Aron Wall, who provides very measured and balanced takes on these sorts of things, put it: https://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/research/hep/person/aw846 https://www.wall.org/~aron/blog/did-the-universe-begin-x-recap/ >It is not controversial among physicists that these “anthropic coincidences” exist. Even atheistic physicists who work in the relevant areas mostly acknowledge it is true. The question is what is the explanation for this phenomenon?
>>18453496>is a theory "Whatever science can't right now immediately fully explain to my satisfaction is a miracle requiring divine intervention, because an infinite being can just do anything.">how it predicts thisBut that same infinite being wanted to make a universe so it could have a personal relationship with one of the species; doing that required making a universe that could support life, which required the natural laws that govern the universe to support life. We can see the laws, and see that the laws support life, and that if the laws were different than they wouldn't support life. Without God the laws would almost certainly be different (99.99999999999999...% chance), so the best explanation for the laws is that God made them.
>>18454887>that same infinite being wanted to make a universe so it could have a personal relationship with one of the species; doing that required making a universe that could support lifeNo, he wanted to make a lot of empty space, so he did, which is why there's a lot of empty space and barely anything else. The rest is just a tiny smidge of crap to give a sense of scale to the sheer amount of void out there. In fact, he loves empty space so much it's measurably increasing massively over time. Everything else is purely ornamental.
>>18451074sounds like Saint Athanasius' argument against Epicurian Cosmology, but with smart guy symbols that I don't understand.

Remember Argentina used to be 85% white and the rest light-skinned mestizosMany years ago, Europeans stopped coming and immigrants from Latin American countries began to come,mainly people from Paraguay and Bolivia.Now the native population is being replaced by brown peopleIn Argentina all this is completely ignoredthe kids are brainwashed by telling them that the argentinian is the mestizosome people even deny that the country was ever white.https://www.amren.com/features/2017/04/argentina-a-mirror-of-your-future-buenos-aires-latin-america

Why did the Japanese abandon their centuries-old martial culture so quickly after WW2? Why did the soldiers heckle and laugh at Mishima?
>>18454439Mind 90% of the population were excluded from that tradition for centuries, with Imperial Education lasting for less than 50 years.
>>18454439>muh samurai codethat was already getting stale by the late 1800sthe war was a totally modern militaristic one, the old martial culture was grafted onto it for morale and propagandaso most Japanese even throughout the war and almost all afterwards were, rightly so, sick of elitist chauvinists larping as samurai i'm sure when mishima made his impassioned shitpost all those guys thought ya>what year does this dumb faggot think it is?i bet someone yelled >KSY

>Interviewed by Look Magazine in 1956 about Till's murder, Milam said "Well, what else could we do? He was hopeless. I'm no bully; I never hurt a nigger in my life. I like niggers, in their place-- know how to work 'em. But I just decided it was time a few people got put on notice. As long as I live and can do anything about it, niggers are gonna stay in their place. Niggers ain't gonna vote where I live. If they did, they'd control the government. They ain't gonna go to school with my kids. And when a nigger gets close to mentioning sex with a white woman, he's tired of living. I'm likely to kill him. Me and my folks fought for this country and we got some rights. I stood there in that shed and listened to that nigger throw that poison at me, and I just made up my mind. 'Chicago boy,' I said, 'I'm tired of 'em sending your kind down here to stir up trouble. Goddam you, I'm going to make an example of you—just so everybody can know how me and my folks stand.'"

why didnt they just chill with this? Even without knowledge of oil, it would've been an amazing geography. B-but the Brits wa-, ... no. The Brits and French did not want to partition The Sublime Porte as they saw it as a stabilizing force.
>>18453775Now what about the Russians (a key French ally, at least in 1914) and the balkanoids?
>>18453777could've recognized reality and just allied Bulgaria and chilled. could've capitalized on French(English) fears of an Ottoman collapse and Russian Expansion to consolidate power. France was the n1 creditor and actually quite amiable. They should have never drawn so close to Germany.
>>18453775>The Brits and French did not want to partition The Sublime PorteSo why did they???
>>18454812The Ottomans joined the central powers. They should have remained neutral and never aligned with Germany
>>18454813Because Enver Pasha wanted revenge and grandeurThe Sultan and others in power wanted no part in the war. So Enver Pasha created an excuse by buying two German ships holed up in Constantinople, and sending those two out to shell Sevastopol, which lead the Russians declaring war on the Ottomans.And because the Russians were part of the Entente, the Ottomans couldn't do much else but join the Central Powers>but they could've just said sorry!The Russians would grasp any reason they could to take out the Ottomans. They wouldn't have backed down ever and the Ottomans knew that
What period or figures form history are you more interested about? I love big travellers like marco polo and ibn battutah.
>>18455335Ever since I read about him in Migration: A World History, I've been fascinated by Zheng He simply because he bucked the trend of China's perennial isolationism.If you're interested in historical explorers then you should definitely lcheck him out.
>>18455335I'm not so much interested in individual figures as the broader developments of statecraft, politics, warfare and economy. And here I'm mainly focusing on the 16th and 17th century. For example the Peace of Augsburg of 1555, which ought to solve the religious and political problems that came about in the wake of the Reformation - but which partly also laid the groundwork for the 30 Years War, due to certain unclear formulations and the unwillingness of certain actors to uphold it. Or the regional history of my region when it comes to waterpowered hammer- and grindworks.
>>18455510China didn't really isolate itself from outsiders, it treated and accepted delegations from many different nations and peoples all around it. They just didn't see any reason to travel to those places, because obviously they'd come to China, because China was the center of the world. Anybody worth knowing, anything worth having, would wind up in China without the Chinese having to leave home. That's just how they saw the world.Actually, a lot of the Muslim world has a similar attitude, after the initial wave of conquests stalled out, they just adopted this attitude that Dar-al-Islam was perfect at its current borders and the stuff outside it wasn't really worth conquering anyway. Which is why the Arabs were content to just rule over what the original Caliphs conquered until freshly converted Turks in their zeal decided to expand the borders of Islam again.
>Your consciousness is entirely caused by physical processes>This somehow allows for first person experience>Not only does it allow for experience, your consciousness is unified and confined to your brain in particular despite billions of other conscious brains existing simultaneously>Physicalists still maintain that this is completely expected of a world comprised purely of unthinking matterIs physicalism perhaps the most ridiculous cope in all of philosophy? Is this some elaborate joke on the part of those who genuinely hold this position?I am not even remotely religious but the mind is probably the most blatant example of a miracle we can observe, to deny this is just utterly bizarre
>>18454424In line with this, I wonder if the belief in conscious AI might not be unlike believing that running a sufficiently thorough computational model of fire on your computer will inevitably cause the computer to catch fire.
>>18453408The idea of the mind is also the mind’s idea of the mind
>>18454424>humans are biologically related to animals Humans are animals.>whatever magic grants humans the capacity for consciousness is something we inherited from earlier animal ancestorsNeurons vastly predate humans, and many high-level behaviors have distant antecedents. Even Cnidarians, who don't even have a central nervous system, have been shown to have sleep-like states.
There is too much confusion on this topic. Consciousness experiences, mind synthesizes experiences.Consciousness can not be conscious of itself, so we theorize there is some thing that is experiencing but we can't directly observe it.

The Germanic nation that nobody knows about
>>18455286The Highlands might unironically be more Germanic than the Lowlands because of Scandinavian settlement on the islands and north highlands. Norway nominal owned it for many years, and huge clans like the MacDonalds and MacLeods descended from Scandinavian vikings.

>>18455291The last remaining pockets of Scottish Gaelic in the Hebrides were heavily Norse. There’s a lot of Norse loan words, especially anything to do with ships, and reversing the usual pattern where settlers retain old names, many of the place names are Norse.
