Why can't humans face eternal oblivion without creating comforting fictions like heaven or reincarnation?
>>18175462You are just coping with your own existential dread by acting superior. Maybe some of us just find the idea of matter and energy transforming forever based on natural laws to be based as fuck. You're the one who can't handle that death might just be a natural process and not some profound tragedy you're too smart to fall for.
>>18176200Retard. Finality isn't even final. In order for the concept of finitude to be, there must be a condition for it, something of which finitude is only part of a substrate. That is infinitude. The finite, by being an end, must have something which it is an end into. This is the un-ending. You don't read and you should be reading books more than posting on 4Chan.

Australian serial killer John Wayne Glover murdered six elderly women in Sydney in 1989-90. In his late 50s and close to being a senior citizen himself when the crimes happened, he was an unusual late life murderer. Glover was born to a working class family in Wolverhampton, England on November 26, 1932. He dropped out of school at 14 and committed many minor crimes, mostly thefts. Glover enlisted in the British army but was discharged when his rap sheet was discovered. He moved to Australia in 1957 and settled in Melbourne. Glover eventually obtained Australian citizenship and continued his crime spree in his new home; he received three theft convictions in Victoria and New South Wales not long after arriving.Glover's crimes grew more serious by 1962 when he was convicted of assaulting two women in Melbourne, two counts of indecent assault, one count of assault resulting in bodily harm, and four counts of larceny. Both attacks were "extremely brutal" with the victims' clothing being partially removed, but he was also interrupted both times before he could do anything else to them. Unlike Glover's later attacks, these women were both young and in their 20s. After the second victim reported him, he was arrested. At this time Glover was employed installing TV aerials outside residences and lived in the Melbourne suburb of Camberwell. He claimed he was in a frazzle after a fight with his girlfriend. Police questioned him about the previous reported attack and he initially denied, but eventually confessed.
Wait a minute ANOTHER serial killer called John wayne!?
>>18175848>he did it out of anger at his mother-in-lawOh that's what they all say
>>18176412Leaded petrol. This Glover guy was on the early side but would have been exposed to it growing up.
>>18176412probably most Western countries did but the ones from non-Anglo cunts are not as well known due to the language barrier. Germany has had quite a few fucked up serial killers though, I know that.
>>18176412>>18177026Australia followed the general postwar trend to softer sentencing practices and rejection of capital punishment. In this case Glover getting...uh...probation for brutally beating two women?

>>18176686I think the most interesting thing about Japan is how they downplayed their victory for political reasons.They did legit beat the Mongols who were coming back after failing to get a base
>>18176720>I think the most interesting thing about Japan is how they downplayed their victory for political reasons.they didn't have the money to pay the samurai which is one of the reasons the government collapsed a few decades later
Japan didn't have 200 years of continuous peace, what are you smoking? They fought like half a dozen minor civil wars between the genpei war and the start of the sengoku jidai. The mongol invasions were simply one of a few such interruptions to peace the shoguns had to deal with. Honestly, the imperial court in Kyoto was a bigger headache for the Kamakura shoguns than the mongols were. They were more scared of an imperial coup than foreign invasion, and it turns out they had their priorities correct because the kamakura shoguns eventually fell to an imperial coup.
>>18176750>shoguns>Kamakura shogunsWhy do /his/ posters pretend to know about a subject. The Hojo rendered the shoguns puppets and their office the Shikken ruled Japan

>>18176687>They practiced a form of divination practically identical with the I Ching.(Not the anon you were talking to). Okay I'm gonna have to ask for some reading material on this. Did you know there are some papers in the Sino-Platonic journal which claim the I Ching trigram names are Indo-European? If you have any details that could connect the Germanic practice to the Chinese one that would be amazing because it would seem to imply a Tocharian practice was likely shared with the Chinese and this goes back to PIE.Wei, J. L. (2022). New Evidence for the Indo-European Origins of the Yi Jing Trigram Names. University of Pennsylvania.Read here for free: https://sino-platonic.org/

Is there a comparable time in history where the ruling class was this obnoxious and dumb? The modern age feels so uniquely stupid in a way that only we could fathom.
they were always obnoxious and dumb, the only difference is there was no tool to display their lives 24/7 so it was far easier for them to control the narrative of how they were totally cool and smart
What could he have done differently to save AND reform the soviet union?
>>18175873You don't get it. Early Putin was more liberal than Yeltsin, lowering taxes and such. Taxes in the 90s were super high, higher than anywhere else.
>>18175873Not fucking it up wasn't an option. the whole country was a failed state. the seeds for putin were sown in 1917, not 1991.
>>18172054Do what China did. Liberalize the markets but crack down on people who want to liberalize the government.
>>18175341You can cook the books, but you can't eat them, it's over anon.
>>18172741Doesn't change the fact that it's true essentially.>>18172054>to saveNot much had to be done to do so desu. Essentially keep the press reigned in and that's it. Tchernenko essentially did nothing during his reign and the union survived.>to reformThe USSR essentially worked like a huge private enterprises. Except, tt had both a terrible admin and terrible feedback loops. To actually reform the bureaucracy he should've just done what Andropov had started; a mass anti-corruption and pro-technocrats campaign.To reform the economy he should've allowed for co-ops and small enterprises in sector which wouldn't disturb the economy, especially in agriculture. As for the feedback loops, implementing an intranet and good usage of technology would've essentially taken care of the problem. It would've done essentially 2 things, namely accurate feedback loops and optimized distribution, aswell as relief on the soviet system by having small to medium efficient enterprises that could've taken care of services (high in demand, hard to plan).This isn't anything special btw. Huge enterprises like Amazon or Walmart already do this : producing and adapting to demand internally through internet feedback.And even if he didn't. He could've gone full Nork style and probably wouldn't have declined that much.

Jesus is one of the biggest names on the planet and him being crucified was someone or somethings attempt to minimize our sense of belonging. The symbol of the cross is an influencer because it involves our perspective that we use to navigate the world. Jesus wanted to show that we shouldn't lose hope or light in connecting with the world. There are hidden layers of meaning to the logic we use to define our world that may be influencing us in a negative way and it all can be explained in a simple manner.https://youtu.be/gsIJH-8Ltso
>>18176560I like this video, and I agree with it more than I disagree. Reminds me of Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca with the latter being the darkness and clouded mirror bringing confusion and deception and Quetzalcoatl being the light and clear mirror.
