>The army of Austria, approximately 100,000 strong, was setting up camp around the town of Karánsebes (now Caransebeș, in modern Romania). The army's vanguard, a contingent of hussars, crossed the Timiș River nearby to scout for the presence of the Ottoman Turks. There was no sign of the Ottoman army, but the hussars did run into a group of Tzigani, who offered to sell schnapps to the war-weary soldiers. The cavalrymen bought the schnapps and started to drink.

>Soon afterwards, some infantry crossed the river. When they saw the party going on, the infantry demanded alcohol for themselves. The hussars refused to give them any of the schnapps, and while still drunk, they set up makeshift fortifications around the barrels. A heated argument ensued, and one soldier fired a shot.

>Immediately, the hussars and infantry engaged in combat with one another. During the conflict, some infantry began shouting "Turci! Turci!" ("Turks! Turks!"). The hussars fled the scene, thinking that the Ottoman army’s attack was imminent. Most of the infantry also ran away; the army comprised Italians from Lombardy, Serbs, Croats, and Austrians, plus other minorities, many of whom could not understand each other. While it is not clear which one of these groups did so, they gave the false warning without telling the others, who promptly fled. The situation was made worse when officers, in an attempt to restore order, shouted "Halt! Halt!" which was misheard by soldiers with no knowledge of German as "Allah! Allah!".

>As the cavalry ran through the camps, a corps commander reasoned that it was a cavalry charge by the Ottoman army, and ordered artillery fire. Meanwhile, the entire camp awoke to the sound of battle and, rather than waiting to see what the situation was, everyone fled. The troops fired at every shadow, thinking the Ottomans were everywhere; in reality they were shooting fellow Austrian soldiers. The incident escalated to the point where the whole army retreated from the imaginary enemy, and Holy Roman Emperor Joseph II was pushed off his horse into a small creek.

>Two days later, the Ottoman army arrived. They discovered 10,000 dead and wounded soldiers and easily took Karánsebes.

Hmm. I am very interested in this. If you could provide studies on the products of autodidactism vs mentor learning, that would be swell. But I am concerned with the biases that we may encounter in the academia since most educational institutions are most likely going to be against autodidactism. Good thread.

I believe in a little of both.

You're never going to learn by solely relying on others or shunning others.

Always seek the advice of experts, but be wise with your judgments. Don't let someone claiming to be an expert corrupt your view.

There are many things which I believe can only really be learnt from "autodidactism", most of which is artistic fields, but seek an expert on things such as the materials -- which paints go with which types of canvas, how to go about studying anatomy correctly.

There are many things which should definitely not be self-taught, really any medical field. I much rather trust a doctor with a doctorate from a college than someone who claims to be a self-taught doctor.

>What is the limit of self-learning in this regard?
tbqh, you are only limited by either your own personal drive, or lack of financial resources.

You can learn as much as you want, but certain forms of learning do take money.

books cost money
computers cost money
musical instruments cost money
internet costs money

granted you can get by with low quality any of these and still learn quite a bit autodidactively there is a point (at least in certain disciplines) where one can be limited by financial resources.

take engineering for example, you can study everything you want from a book, but is that REALLY learning engineering? Or is it just learning math? Maybe buying some wood and building a small solar powered boat is engineering as you have now learned how to succesfully apply engineering principles.

In certain disciplines, without application, you cannot completely learn the subject matter. (music would have been a better example maybe)

Probably a result of phenological-morphological trait and circumstantial conditions that allowed the behavior to emerge and then probably, but not necessarily selection from increased evolutionary fitness from physical fitness and sociality, or other means. It is probably are repeated behavioral evolution that has emerged in several phylogenies, probably more so when functional redundancy is considered.

Evolution isn't progressing towards perfection and lots of silly things emerge and stick around, etho-ecological-morphological mismatches

It's probably the most important activity, especially for children. And you could easily argue that many things adults do are nothing but games, they're just very sophisticated and the rules aren't so explicit.

I don't know how much "play" you see in non-social animals, but in social ones it's an essential socializing tool. Kids needs a structure and shared goal in order to property modify their behavior and coordinate with others. Without a shared goal social groups break down rather quickly.

I agree the the Middle East was better under Ottoman rule but that doesn't really mean much. Nothing last forever.

There are lies which happen to be true.

>>2560361
The statement being referred to is a lie.
If it's self referencing, then it is still a lie because it would be 'true' and hence actually a lie.

>>2560365
so the statement was correct and telling a truth, then?

I'm not sure about Christians and whether or not Catholics are Christian. I'm a Catholic...and I understand Catholicism...while I don't really study what isn't Catholicism.

A nihilist would never get to a position of power. He'd never amount to anything in his life.

>>2559257
thats why I asked would happen if a nihilistic leader got into power

Someone would rule in his stead.

Being on a naval vessel in that period was trash. Period.

There's a good reason press ganging was a thing. Nobody wanted to be a sailor because it was that bad of a job.

Happy that he lost to based Woodrow. I bet he cried like a bitch.

He was a fine face for the nation.

I like best his laudable efforts to support the preservation of the interior.

That bear cub, leave him to me.
*shoots bear cub from 1000 yards with his shoulder mounted elephant artillery cannon splitting bear cub into two halves. One half fashioned into a coat, the top half into a bear head warrior hat which he wore everyday while masturbating and speed reading*
History and fake journalists twist the story so he says "That bear cub, let him be."
