So it's not
To be fair, Rhodesia isn't that bad. It was considered to be the only first world country in Africa despite sanctions from other countries and used to be called 'Bread Basket of Africa' until Mugabe took power.

First world countries don't have income disparities as big as Rhodesia had. Mugabe rule is still worse, though.

Fine, it was a selectively first world country then

there are some similarities, they had no police protection so they had to rely on honor/respect, they had a realpolitik attitude and respected the balance of power without constant whinging and whining like leftists, they had a hierarchy where lower ranks were free to do what they wanted with their business but had to fulfil obligations to the boss and the group to prevent conflict

Why does mainstream academia wish to remove God from the classroom and instill relative morality in their students (among other things)?

Because you don't need religion to have morality.
>>
>>2677444
Probably because of inherent bias of their part. I'm an agnostic who swings more towards atheism, and I love hearing about religions and their interpretation of objective truths. I think it does a great disservice to the students who leave education without a proper understanding of the cultures who built most of our modern institutions.

I like the gladius a lot, I think it looks really cool but still seems really practical.

Is there any actual evidence that modern day Greeks, Italians, Spaniards, and Near Easterners don't look about the same as they did in Antiquity?

None.
Also "mediterranean looks" aren't a thing.
Near easterners don't look like greeks, nevermind like italian and spaniards.
>>
>>2665446
Paintings and sculptures from that period.
>>
Greeks have received some Slavic and Turkish admixture.
Italians have now a fair deal of Gothic, Lombard and Norman genes.
Spaniards are much more African, Jewish and Arabian than they were in Roman times.
Near Easterners have absorbed plenty of Arabian, African and Mongol DNA.
I'm probably missing some 'contributions'.

I'm a philosophical novice, but I'm already tired of fucking thought experiments. It seems that every time an author reaches a reasonable conclusion, some smartass proposes some batshit insane scenario and thereby claims to "refute" the case. For example, philosophical zombies:
>Rational Man: Only the physical exists.
>Smartass: But what if zombies who imitated humans perfectly existed? PHYSICALISM BTFO!!!!!
I mean, come the fuck on. If your thought experiment isn't even possible, should it be treated with any weight at all? Metaphysics is essentially the search for an ultimate reality, and if your arguments have no basis in reality at all should they even be considered?

thought experiments are never a valid rebuttal, except if used as arbitrary examples of valid situations, i.e. trolley problem thought experiment is used as an arbitrary example of messy situations one can intervene in.
Some authors will use thought experiments to convey their full rebuttal in a very, very simple form for digestion by outsiders though
>>
>>2687247
Agreed, and I'm not even going to bother playing Devil's advocate because fuck those guys.
"HURR DURR, B-BUT W-WHAT IF WE WERE IN A UNIVERSE WHE-"
Seriously, shut the fuck up.

>>2687247
The question of whether p-zombies are possible is the point of the thought experiment in the first place. If you are a physicalist and don't think it's possible for a human being with no conscious experience to exist, you have to argue why.
