It means their inherent worth is equal. If there was no society how would you judge the worth of a man?

everybody would be the same

We all die the same. We will become ashes and dust, survived by descendants who will forget our names. All of this, love, fear, friends, enemies, family, nation, none of it matters.

If you stripped naked a poor man and a king you can't tell which is which

Is that an actual theory? sounds like nonsense.

There were scripts they found there, as well as some tribes that spoke languages oddly similar to Phonecian, etc. I'm not super informed on it, the main reason I asked, I suppose.

Damn, surprised at how little interest the Phonecians have garnered.

Is there any specific periods you'd like to know about or are you more interested in the general practice of historiography?

Here's what I recommend:

Open wikipedia, read whatever interests you. Wikipedia gets shit on a lot but it tends to provide a very accessible summary to most things, and it's so easy to zero in or zoom out at will (IE "I wanna read about the Holy Roman Empire. Oh, Emperor Ferdinand II sounds interesting. Oh, what's this about the Thirty Years War? Protestant Reformation?" etc.

Once you've found a thing you really like, look for a credible book on the period/subject. More recent ones are good because they usually have pretty good bibliographies that can send you further.

Once you've read a good secondary source and its bibliography, see what sort of primary sources they listed and whether they're translated into English. Then read the primary sources. Lots of history, especially as you go further back, is extrapolated from a relatively finite number of primary sources, and you can generally find good bibliographies and sourcebooks floating about for those too.

Also you can find some free university level lectures online, lectures can be nice if the prof is good.

I'm interested in learning about Rome and Greece and Assyria, stuff like that. I guess "ancient" stuff.

Turkish, or papist.

Turkish, or papist.

Holy shit, that is a tough choice.

It seems all of Europe took the Turkpill.

I choose turk, because muslims are less likely to murder Christians than Catholics are

because it's already been done

Do it yourself really.

I don't understand? Are you saying that there's nothing to do because, for example, stoic philosophers eventually created a fairly exhaustive list of tips, so later writers such as Marcus Aurelius were just repeating the same principles? Yeah, well obviously if you just focus on life tips and principles, you have more limited territory than the whole rest of philosophy, but why is it that writing books on philosophies of life isn't more popular? Why aren't people as serious about following life philosophies? In the days of Greek philosophical schools, the cynics would become homeless and dress in rags because they were so dedicated to their philosophy, and people from different schools would get into heated debates and cultivate long-standing feuds over which philosophy of life was the best. Nowadays, people only focus on politics and religion, but while those things have a strong moral component, adherents mostly neglect the finer details of how to think properly, how to spend your time on Earth, which things are important and which things are less important, like money or sex, and other such details. Why is that?

Even if you converted to Islam, there's nothing in the quran that says you're going to Islamic paradise (unless you're a suicide bomber, of course).

Does that sound like a good, positive thing to you?

>>2518689
Same problem if you convert to the "wrong" Christianity.

International trade, is not globalism.

>>2518661
It most certainly is.

>>2518759
No.
To have countries being interdependant is globalism.

No, by that point they were already fucked. They just didn't know it yet.

>>2518553
No but they would have done better and maybe had a proper capitulation at the end

>>2519051
Unlikely. Macropolitical events, most especially trying to stop the resurgence of a revanchist party on the basis of "We weren't really defeated" a la the end of WW1 made any non-total defeat of Germany extremely unlikely. Doubly so since any likely replacement in OP's situation would almost certainly arise from the Nazi party and continue on a lot of the more objectionable policies.

>>2518548
Because Protestants are wrong

>>2518548
No, because of the invisible church with universal priesthood persisted and the Protestant reformation happened. If that sounds like silly reasoning to you, keep in mind that the Catholic/Orthodox position that Jesus' brothers were actually cousins because Mary must be perpetually virginal looks equally silly.

Because that whole part about Jesus giving Peter absolute moral authority (what you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, etc.) was probably squeezed in there so the church in Rome could press the claim to sole legitimacy.

Or at least at the beginning of world war 1, they adapted with the years. Why did germans knew this war would be different than the others and not the french?

>>2518415

Incompetence. Institutional systemic incompetence.

>>2518423
>Why did germans knew this war would be different than the others
They didn't know. A minority of people in every participant knew the war would be different. The war began on all sides as if it wasn't going to be.

too much work and vulnerable to bias

Sun Tzu is number 1. Not up for debate, revolutionized ancient thought and warfare, his book is STILL being taught to the US military and others, the vietcong were known to extensively study this book (that is the only reason America studies it).

I mean, there are many number of things which you know today, which seems simply logical (attacking ones weakness instead of strength, how to identify weakness, etc, etc.), schools of thought which were actualy invented by Sun Tzu, which became so prevalent they don't even seem to have a starting point.

Seriously, read the Art of War if you haven't, it will only take a couple of hours for your first time. The lessons are timeless.

Bonus points for keeping to the theme of satanism, witches or magic.

Stalin would spare a person or two.

>>2518359
According to Zhukov, Stalin was a strong and secretive person, but he was also hot-tempered and skeptical. Zhukov was able to gauge Stalin's mood; for example, when Stalin drew deeply on his tobacco pipe, it was a sign of a good mood. Conversely, if Stalin failed to light his pipe once it was out of tobacco, it was a sign of an imminent rage

Stalin was a manlet who died soaked in his own piss. Lol

why not try again on the correct board?
