What were the most accurate recorded and confirmed prophecies in history?
15 posts and 4 images submitted.

Jesus Christ the Messiah.
>>
>>2769616
If he was the messiah according to the Torah, why did he not fulfill the prophecies for the Jews?
Or is this more like the shit Paul came up with, like write 50-70 years later about it with the " hey, lets make our boy a messiah", and claim there was an old prophecy bullshit?

> The Prophecy of St. Nilus
After the year 1900, toward the middle of the 20th century, the people of that time will become unrecognizable. When the time for the Advent of the Antichrist approaches, people's minds will grow cloudy from carnal passions, and dishonor and lawlessness will grow stronger. Then the world will become unrecognizable.

People's appearances will change, and it will be impossible to distinguish men from women due to their shamelessness in dress and style of hair. These people will be cruel and will be like wild animals because of the temptations of the Antichrist. There will be no respect for parents and elders, love will disappear, and Christian pastors, Bishops and priests will become vain men, completely failing to distinguish the right-hand way from the left.

At that time, the morals and traditions of Christians and of the Church will change. People will abandon modesty, and dissipation will reign. Falsehood and greed will attain great proportions, and woe to those who pile up treasures. Lust, adultery, homosexuality, secret deeds and murder will rule in society.

lack of migration brought about my lack of investment and lack of investment brought about by lack of migration. There was little incentive for american free blacks to migrate there since there wasn't really anything for them to do there, and there was no surplus population of americo-liberians that would make investment into liberia worthwhile. By the time Liberia had anything worth foreign powers spending on the period where it could have attracted migrants was largely over.

So if a person commits a crime, let's say murder, after which their memory and awareness of the event are completely erased from their consciousness such that from their sentient perspective none of it ever transpired, should they still be punished? Personally I don't think they should, because you'd basically be inflicting punishment on an innocent person. If the person isn't aware of their crime, isn't punishment pointless?

yes. They still did it, whether they remember it or not.

If that were the case, every super drunk driver would get off scott free

So you wouldn't put me in jail because I spent all the money after I robbed a bank? All the money is gone, wouldn't punishment be pointless?

why did it take humanity so extremely long to actually began to understand how disease is spread? when we discovered how it actually do spread it wasn't even because of a sudden technological leap, it was because cholera happened to come stomping and the sick and dead leaved easy to recognize patterns.

It's hard to develop germ theory if you can't see the little bastards, and it's hard to see them without microscopes.

It's also hard to develop microscopes without a modern understand of optics, and hard to develop a theory of optics without a scientific revolution.

people who came up with the germ theory of diseases didn't see the germs, they just noticed a certain pattern on how the disease spread and figured it had something to do with contaminated water.
this wasn't something new either , people thousands of years prior had seen this connection but still other explanations won out.

Would a Direct Democracy world government be a good thing or a bad thing?

Why or why not?

I think it would be great because then no more wars or starving or international disputes.

Despite what people like to say, Direct Democracies can be VERY successful if the populace is very involved and informed. Ancient Athens, for example, became a superpower because not only did they have excellent leadership, but also a mass of well-informed and well-educated citizens, who knew when to support their leaders and also when to tell them to calm down their ambitions.

Currently, however, I feel the general populace of the world is not yet ready for the resurgence of Direct Democracy, because of two reasons; one, they are very divided, and two, they are not as well informed or educated. The rise of mass-media has created sensationalism, which has taken the spotlight of actually truthful news. As a result, it is hard to be truly well-informed on a topic unless you do copious amounts of research, which makes it harder for the average person to be truly well-informed on a topic.

It is, of course, my hope that we see Direct Democracy be tried on the scale it was on Athens, but until then Republicanism is probably a better alternative.

Is this villa public access? If not, then it's pretty degenerate and a waste to have all this living space all by yourself.

>>2768528
I bet sensationalism was spread even back then. Just look at the illiad and stories of troy ect. real events who were all spiced up with rumours of beasts and cyclops, romance ect.
