There is tons. The Dark Ages is a psyop.

Naw, op is right, as long as you define the dark ages as between 500-900 in the west.
>my cronicles
If you actually read medieval history you would know how often the chronicles counterdict more reliable sources, such as government clerk records as early as 1050 ad. On major and minor points, so I don't know why you would relay on them much.
Anyways the truth is there wasn't much of interest happening in the west in all likelihood.
Are humans truly destined to kill and maim one another?
>Clark, who led last year's expedition to the Afar region of northern Ethiopia, and UC Berkeley colleague Tim D. White, also said that a re-examination of a 300,000-year-old fossil skull found in the same region earlier showed evidence of having been scalped" –The Yuma Daily Sun, June 13, 1982
Destined? No, but it's much easier for the average person to do it than you'd think.
>>3344386
Why is killing bad?
>>3344434
Killing is natural after all. Not to sound gay but death and things getting killed are part of life
Hey, /his/. Being a fapstronaut, one is always looking out for good quotes from historical figures for encouragement, but a more interesting thought just entered my head. Just like with PTSD, it doesn't seem that there's a lot of evidence of people historically dealing with problems of unrestrained sexualities.
Like, of course we have plenty of people in the past who spoke out against sexual degeneracy, but are there any famous accounts of people who wrote about their journey fighting this specific inner demon of theirs? Augustine of course was promiscuous before becoming a Saint, but he just up and changes, never seemed to have had a deeper struggle regarding his promiscuity.
>inb4 no one interesting ever fought against sexual vice in the past

Bump, this thread has potential.

Didn't mozart write about his scat fetish?
Joyce liked to shove his nose up his wife ass and inhale her farts
I have seen many different armor and swords, Is this a good depiction of reality? how did they look when they were in Tenochtitlan? bonus points for pictures of real armor & weapons of the time
Lots of Moors moved in to Spain in earlier centuries so they was black.
This picture gets me a hard on
Not an expert on this but the Morion helmet which is associated with the conquistadors wasn't in use until the late 16th century.
So depictions of conquistadors during the conquest of the Aztec Empire or even during Columbus that you often see in movies is inaccurate.
The conquistadors of the early 16th century would probably look more like the ones that painting
stupid soviets lost to Finnish farmers

I've always had the impression that societal corruption, organized and street crime, unethical capitalism, basically anything that requires absolutely no coscience to be done, all of these acts are directly correlated to how many people are living in our societies. If you have 90 millions people, there is absolutely no way you'll be able to convince every single one of them to lead an honest life: this prospect would be so ridicolous that you can just assume that in all parts of society there will always be a certain percentage of assholes who want to see the world burn. Since this is a problem linked to overpopulation, and since there is no reasonable solution to it, I genuinely think that this problem can't be solved. Whatever society will arise, it will decay simply because certain people just want to create opposition, no matter what, regardless of the ideologies of their time.
Now, I'm sure I'm saying nothing new, and that countless books have been written about these vague subjects I've mentioned: so, can you guys give me an heads-up, and maybe suggest me some books on the matter?
Also, what do you think about what I've just described?
Sorry for eventual typos, English is not my native language.
Not sure but Google "population growth and crime" or something like that. This was the first result:
https://www.anu.edu.au/fellows/jbraithwaite/_documents/Articles/1975_Population%20Growth%20and%20Crime.pdf
>>3344224
It's not only about crime, it's about any possible unethical act. If anything crime scares me less than unethical predatory capitalism and corrupted politics, for their effects as more vast in their scale.
Basically, I'm sure on wether a honest government and economy can be possible at all once you get a population of tenths of millions of people.

>lives within the paradigm of an oligarchy
>cant imagine an honest government or economy
go figure.
i can solve both with a single change in how representatives for governments are selected.

They feared the sphinx warrior.
>I speak in Latin to God, Italian to Women, French to Men, and German to my Horse.
What did he mean by this?
Latin as an official, fancy language that he felt was worthy of communion with God, italian to women because of its seductiveness, french to his men because he thought it to be noble, german because of its strict, military feel.
>>3343899
Wasn't it Spanish to God?

Unironically this
I lost my faith four months ago and since then my life has been a living hell. All of my anxieties have come back in full force and everything feels entirely hopeless. I've always hated the way I look, so having an actual purpose has always been incredibly important to me. Without Christianity, life doesn't seem worth living. And now it feels like God is calling me back to him.
The reason I became a deist was because I had a lot of doubts about whether Jesus came back for the gentiles after reading Matthew for the first time. Then I was convinced after reading that there a lot of archaeological contradictions between nature and the old testament.
My question is if it's possible for me to have faith that doesn't waver? Are there any books that might help me? I've already read Mere Christianity and I didn't feel that it was very insightful or reassuring :(
>>3343873
>archaeology
You're a STEMsperg, already too far gone from Grace.
>>3343873
You really hadn't read Matthew all that time?
Also try Kierkegaard.
How far would the Kingfish have gone if he didn't get shot?
>>3343835
All the way.
He would most probably go on to become a president. Or he could create some kind of American Union State that would destroy syndicalism and make every man a king.

It doesn't change the argument at all.
