Not quite the same, but King Philip II of Spain was a known fatalist, and some credit the Spanish Armada's defeat to this.

This nigga fought a guerilla campaign against the allies in German Ost-Afrika and held out for the entire war. He was also known for being unusually decent to native troops and civilians (by the standards of the time), compared to the British and Belgians who were complete cunts in comparison.

Also the British lugged two gunboats through the jungle just to fight the German navy on Lake Tanganyika.

>and civilians

No, he was particularly terrible to civilians.

>>2557934
Keywords "compared to Belgians."

Hong Xiuquan.

He inspired China's Taiping Rebellion, perhaps the bloodiest civil war in human history

You could do James Clerk Maxwell and explain how he inaugurated the western world into the modern age through equations regarding electomagnetic force.

You could do Mr. Kellog and explain how his parasite extermination campaign, in the south, removed the productivity barrier between white southerners and former slaves/descendant of slaves.

The South used to (maybe still does) have a stereotype of slow easy-going lazy assholes. Turns out by importing slaves, they imported hookworms which slaves had resistance to. Southern whites didn't have the same resistance and for a few centuries, blacks were literally better equipped for long days of farming.

The advantage disappeared when Mr. Kellogg was successful in wiping out that species of hookworm in the South. The "advantage" blacks had was wiped out.

>Is consciousness required for something to be considered part of the self?

>How far does the concept of "self" extend?
It extends as far as a unit of consciousness exerts it.

We don't know what consciousness is. Really, we should try and use it less as it is.

>Another question was if a human was somehow replicated to have an identical copy existing at the same time as itself, would both instances of the person be considered the same "self?"

Yes and no. That is what the ending showed you.

>Is the "self" transcendent of matter?
This is beyond the scope of your queries. You are treading in the realm of theology and faith.
..

The self seems like an emergent concept.

It also employs a matter of language.
From a jungian perspective, you can equate the All with the Self; with varying degrees of "I"s which fracture or mirror the Self in a fractal pattern.

>>2556229
It can apply to any body of existence, including concepts.

I can say I am a human. The concept of humanity is directly tied to me. Humans from thousands of years in the past to the future. The self image carries that attachment. I could also say I'm a RED SOX fan. Immediately the concept of RED SOX fan is attached to the self.

In short, it can extend to anything. There are no limits to how big the ego can get.

Well, the question first came up when I was reading Asimov for the first time, but seeing this discussion jogged my memory on the subject again. It's not a particularly new sort of concept, just a recent description of it.

The last question is the biggest on my mind at the moment. Humans are born, live a life, and die, and during that time, our actions affect the world in different ways, causing the state of things to change, even if it's incredibly minute. In that way, our "self" continues to have somewhat of an effect on all things after the passing of the body, imparting a bit of that "self" to all future happenings. If self applies outside of the body, then a case could be made that "self" is both eternal an unending, as it affects all things after the apparent death of self and is made up of all things prior to the birth of self.

This probably isn't written very clear, but I don't have the words to quite describe what I'm talking about. Essentially, I'm saying the self, if not constrained to a single physical instance, may be eternal in its presence, even when you don't take religion into account.

Why the hell do we get threads wikipedia can answer in 5 minutes everyday?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plainsong
Plainsong developed during the earliest centuries of Christianity, influenced possibly by the music of the Jewish synagogue and certainly by the Greek modal system. It has its own system of notation, employing a staff of four lines instead of five.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Roman_chant
The chant that is now called "Old Roman" comes primarily from a small number of sources, including three graduals and two antiphoners from between 1071 and 1250. Although these are newer than many notated sources from other chant traditions, this chant is called "Old Roman" because it is believed to reflect a Roman oral tradition going back several centuries.

There are several theories concerning the origins of Gregorian and Old Roman chants, but one prominent hypothesis, supported by Apel and Snow, posits that both chant traditions derive from a common Roman ancestor in use circa 750 AD. In order to consolidate ecclesiastical power and strengthen their political ties to the power of the Roman church, the Franks, especially under the Carolingian rulers Pepin and Charlemagne, brought this older Roman chant north. There it was subsequently modified, influenced by local styles and Gallican chant, and categorized into the system of eight modes. This Carolingian, or Frankish-Roman, chant, became known as "Gregorian." In the meantime, the local chant remaining in Rome gradually evolved into the form in which it was eventually notated, at the same time that Gregorian was supplanting it in Rome.
