Philosophy doesn't require a MASSIVE amount of critical thinking, it just requires a love for knowledge and the truth

>>2479515

Well then look at these fuckers refusing to acknowledge the truth that morality is just one out of infinitely many concepts

>>2479515
Isn't the concept of "truth" a fraud by itself?
Serious question, I'm here for history, not philosophy.

Doing heroic stuff like slaying a dragon

Part of the iliad was about how Achilles gave up a comfy farming life or whatever in order to gain eternal glory even though he knew he would die.

Id say self sacrifice is a big one.

>Be safe from Steppenegro threat.
>Run the piracy gauntlet that is the Philippines, Borneo, Malacca Straits, Southern India, Somalia, and Oman instead.
At least in the Silk Road, you're only in danger in Central Asia.

The Spice route will literally run you through 4 areas of piracy.

In the First Chechen War it was the Chechens but now it's Russia

>Who was in the right /his/?
The ones not having Saudi fighters on their side while trying to spread Wahabshitism through the Caucasus.

It's funny that the only way to counter it today is by imposing Sharia law over Russian state law.

They're just an offshot of wider Phoenecian-Mesopotamian civilisation

>>2479390

Because their writing is undeciphered, unlike Egypt and Mesopotamia, so there is far less known.

> They're just an offshot of wider Phoenecian-Mesopotamian civilisation

No, that is a retarded statement.

"1st Reich" - Holy Roman Empire
2nd Reich - Imperial Germany
3rd Reich - Nazi Germany

>>2479371
Holy roman empire under Charlemagne right?

>>2479380
Correct

because people are fucking stupid

It's the effort that goes into them. You need tens of thousands of people and trade networks stretching for hundreds of miles and competent leadership and organisation. They aren't easy to build they're just structurally secure.

All in a time before any advanced technology.

Have the French been the chief cause responsible for the decline of western civilization?

>>2479087
Define decline

>>2479087
Correct. Robespierre is what you'd get if reddit ran a country

You can say you don't believe in him if you don't believe in him. Pretty straight forward.

>Do you think that God would accept the fact that there can be a more powerful being than him above him?

No. That's why the Sumerians called god the great fedora in the sky.

suicide is the pinnacle of the faith in a self

Suicide is termination of the self. Kind of a weird thing to say.

>>2479027
>you should endure your suicidal suffering because I would feel bad if you died

How is the suicidal the selfish one?
