>How the hell have people not realised that all philosophical axioms and criteria (and criteria for criteria) are arbitrarily chosen?
Everybody knows this. Most of the argument is trying to convince people to accept your axioms

never understood this accusation of "intellectual masturbation" that non-philosophers level at philosophy
I have my theories ofc but what do you mean by it, OP?

Just because you don't like the reasons or disagree with them doesn't mean they don't exist. There's nothing arbitrary at all about the way philosophical principles are chosen.

Falsifiability is not a very good metric of determining which ideas are acceptable either, because "falsification" is not a good way of figuring out which things are true and which aren't. Here's a hypothetical for you--let's say you have an apparatus that is designed for the purpose of measuring the acceleration of objects in a vacuum, and you drop a quarter inside the apparatus. The output data is that the quarter accelerated towards the ground at 9.5 m/s^2.

Have you just falsified the numerical claims of the theory of gravity?

Why did no country actually colonise Antarctica? Sure countries had claimed territory and a few expeditions were made but nobody actually settled there.
Btw the Jews would never go there because there are no people there to scam money out of

Because it's really, really, really, really fucking cold. Practically uninhabitable.

unlike the Japanese, the Aztecs couldn't make or work steel.

The Portuguese didn't teach anything besides the recipe for gunpowder. The guns were sent to the best sword smiths in the region who copied them to the best of their ability

>>2536351
>the Aztecs couldn't make or work steel.
they still helped the Spaniards to repair all their bronze cannons though

and what if the Portuguese also showed them to work steel?

I meant more about how the government actually worked

pls respond, anons

The free Open Yale course on Ancient Greek History is great. You could also pirate plenty of Teaching Company courses on various aspects of the field.

>>2536224
youtube yale courses
Project Gutenberg for a ton of texts, many in the original latin or greek alongside english so youll know what the fuck.

All you have to do is Google what an education of this type would entail, and then just search the web for the books and commentaries on the books.

The rest is non white, according to /pol/

Race is an outdated term. Look up generic clustering.
Also any form of nationalism is useful to the state, and useless to the individual. Quit getting spooked.
And since only the state benefits from nationalism, it makes sense it would promote civic nationalism, as to avoid riots and unrest.

>Also, why is this historical event invariably ignored whereas German occupation of neutral countries is scorned all the time?

Probably because the Brits treated the natives with respect and didn't genocide them.

>>2536220
Cucked them something shocking though.

>Why did the Anglo decide to "flagrantly violate" the neutrality of this insignificant nation?

The single biggest artery of the convoy lines to Britain went along the U.S. east coast over the northern reaches of the Atlantic to places like Liverpool. They were shipping all sorts of stuff, oil, (mostly from venezuela), metals, grain, you name it. They were worried about u-boat and even occasional surface attacks on these ships, and wanted to cover as much of it as possible with as heavy defenses as they could muster.

Part of that includes defense from the sky; naval bombers are a hell of a lot better at killing ships than ships are at wiping out naval bomber formations, and even if your planes can't sink the raiders, just spotting them gives you a chance to organize better point defenses or maneuver nearby convoys out of the way. The problem with air cover, though, is that planes can't stay in the air forever, especially WW2 era planes, and you can only project airpower so far away from your airbases on land. The middle of that atlantic route was where the bulk of the convoy losses occurred.

Iceland is an island in the middle of the northern atlantic. You can base airplanes there to watch for u-boats; that's why it was strategically valuable.

>Also, why is this historical event invariably ignored whereas German occupation of neutral countries is scorned all the time?

Because the Germans rounded up people and sent them to concentration camps. The Brits, not so much. Doubly so in this case, where the invasion of Iceland happened after Germany attacked a neutral Denmark, who was still technically the Iclandics colonial overlord.

Atheism dates back to 4th - 6th Century BC, so probably not.

>>2536500
Atheism almost certainly predates religion.

No. Being an unmarried, childless loner isn't all that uncommon among philosophers.

anything comes close to that?

i just wanted to see some light at the end of the tunnel, even if it was from eras before.

That man shaking Hitler's hand is (((Winston Churchill))). He is about to betray Czechoslovakia and let the Germans annex their natural defenses because his Jewish masters are desperate for war and want to crush Germany. I read it in a .jpg on /pol/

the common excuse is that Britain was just buying time

>>2536126
They foolishly believed that the Nazi state acted in rational self interest, similar to themselves, and thus badly misjudged German policy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seima-Turbino_phenomenon

Basically, Uralic folks descend from a Siberian warrior race who lived to fight. They wanted to be in close proximity with the Aryan race because they wanted to kill the males and take their Aryan women for themselves as brides.
This is how Finns became blonde.


Let's keep in mind Finns don't have Asian mitochondrial DNA.

Paternal and maternal lines tell a different story indeed.
Siberian men, Aryan women.

I think so.

I'm aware of no source indicating they faced them on the field of battle. They were, however, in the Greek cultural sphere, so they had probably heard stories from things like Alexander's expedition to India.

>>2536115
They probably knew about them but never would've faced them since only the Carthaginians would've had them nearby and they never fought them at this point. Also the common Roman soldier who wasn't of patrician birth and better educated in global stuff probably had no idea what they were and thought they were monsters.

>>2536160
I do think that during antiquity elephants inhabited parts of Syria and North Africa.
