I will never forgive the Russians for destroying nuclear power in the eyes of the public. Everything would be so much different if it had been allowed to proliferate

Was it at all ever possible for Germany to win WW1? What could they have done strategically different?

Avoid drawing Britain into the war by not attacking Belgium would have helped.
That's not a guarantee they would have stayed out forever but if they were focused on the Schlieffen plan working it would have given them more of a chance to smash France before turning to Russia.
>>
>>2713535
Not having a retard as Emperor would have helped. WW1 and WW2 were both lost by Germany before even a single shot was fired, that both took several years is owed to the will of the German soldiers and the incompetence of Russian and French leadership.

>Schlieffen plan working
That required going through Belgium.

Is the British empire the most overrated empire in history?
>claim a bunch of desolate sparsely inhabited land to beef up your area size on paper
>all your large imperial population is mostly thanks to owning India
>only places with successful British settlement are in remote desolate areas (Canada, Australia, Africa)
>only viable large settlement colony rebels and gains independence
>all your military conflicts are against colonial tribal uprisings with swords and spears
>barely hold your own against a bunch of dutch farmers
>when you have to fight against a similarly matched European industrial power you get your shit pushed in

Anti German propaganda. One day the world will stop humiliating us. They will fear to do it.

it is owing to the rarity of the atmosphere that southern nations, with their keen intelligence due to the heat, are very free and swift in the devising of schemes, while northern nations, being enveloped in a dense atmosphere, and chilled by moisture from the obstructing air, have but a sluggish intelligence.

If everyone's worldview changes with time and life experience what's the point of holding any deep convictions in the fist place?
It all seems like a load of bunk to me.

Why? To go along for the ride. Who knows where you'll end up at the end?

If your convictions are deep enough, no amount of evidence can change your mind.
>>
>>2712383
This question confuses me.
You literally just answered it in your own post.
Some people like the constancy because essential change is scary.
Also, how much do people's convictions change over time?
And what level of conviction are we talking about?
There are levels.

I'm currently studying Utopias for a paper and my uneducated ass has come to the conclusion that Utopias are all shit and Paradise cannot exist on Earth.
It's all science fiction about warp drives and time travel and other shit that cannot exist while it handwaves the problems with the very blueprints it sets forth.

There are two possibilities for our universe's history. Either there has always been some matter and the existence of our universe filled with some sort of object recedes infinitely far into our past, or at some point the matter and objects that fill our universe emerged from nothing. If the former then the theory is proven: Time is infinite. If it is the latter however, then at some point objects emerged and history began. From there we face three possibilities:
1. The universe comes to a finite end, the existence of space filled with matter is bookended by infinite nothingness
2. The universe is swallowed into nothingness and eventually another universes emerges as did the one prior
and lastly,
3. The universe never dies and we have an infinite future ahead
Now, shrewd readers will have noticed that in fact scenarios 2 and 3 are essentially identical. Or more accurately, the second scenario develops into either the first or third scenarios. The peculiarity of scenario 3 is that it subsumes the fragments of scenario 2. Put another way. An infinite universe would, by it's very nature, contain all the staccato'd universes from the second scenario.
Here lies the crux of an otherwise perfect and succinct proof of time stretching out infinitely; Starting from the assumption that our universe at some point emerged from pure nothingness, we have definitive, self-evident proof that the possibility for something to emerge from nothing exists. If the possibility exists for it to occur once, there's no real reason to believe it won't happen again. To be fair, there's no real reason to believe it will happen either. It is, for all intents and purposes, an ontological coin flip whether we live in the only universe that will ever exist, ever, for all eternity or whether we will live within a universe that lives forever.

It could also be that before the universe as we know it came about, there were no rules governing anything. Rules about existence and nothingness did not apply, and since they did not apply, of course something could come out of "nothing" spontaneously.
>>
>>2711671
I'm not so much concerned with whether or not it's possible for something to come from nothing so much as whether or not time is finite or infinite.

If the entire New Testament is fake/made up, including Peter, who was the first real Pope?
Pic only sort of related.

That's actually a really interesting point.

>>2709843
Considering that pope is just Latin for "father" there has only ever been one of any importance and that is the LORD Himself.

if jesus is fictious its most likely that Peter actually did exist and gave himself a big role in his story, and used this to gain power over the people
