Is there another state similar to the Mamluks, where the succession was mostly not based on family ties but on chosen successors?

Are you actually asking if states have had monarchs that have picked their successor?
>>
>>3295245
I mean ones where hereditary succession was almost never the case and remained so for a long period of time

Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth fits your parameters. Elective monarchy.

What's up with the non-canon books of the bible?
What makes them not make the final cut in most bibles? What qualifications does a book need to meet in order to be canonized? Can Books be canonized today or is it too late to canonize books?

Is traditionalism just a meme?
I used to like a lot both Evola and Guenon but the more I think and analyze them it's just like
>hurr burguoise explout us and are degenerate
>lets supplant them with a medieval mentality priestly caste, they surely know how to rule and will not exploit anybody because le tradition and le solar king
I mean this glorification of aristocracy, church and whatever other shit as if they wouldn't do anything our actual shitty elites/burguoises do. Sounds plain retarded, just changing one shit for another shit as if it means anything
Its just romanticism?

Traditionalism is pretty stupid, no one today who actually understands history would willingly go back to the olden days knowing what it entails.

TRADITIONALISM, AND ROMANTICISM, ARE MUTUALLY ANTITHETICAL; THE FORMER IS REALISTIC, NATURALISTIC, TAUTOLOGICAL, OPPRESSIVE; THE LATTER IS IDEALISTIC, REVOLUTIONARY, TRANSCENDENT, FREEING.

Show me where Evola claimed that "nobody will exploit anybody" if traditionalism is implemented.
Why is there such a difference between historical representation of Gypsies, showing them as romantic nomads with rich culture, and modern image of Gypsies as dirty, pathological criminals?

COMMON MISTAKE. GYPSIES DO NOT, NOR HAVE EVER EXISTED AS AN ENTHIC, CULTURAL, RELIGIOUS, OR RACIAL GROUP. PICTURES AND VIDEOS ARE CHERRYPICKED FROM ALREADY-POOR ROMANIA AND BALKAN COUNTRIES TO DEPICT THE RESPECTIVE COUNTRY'S POOR AS "NOT THEM".
>>
>>3294896
because at that time western societies were not foolish enough to invite historically hostile cultures into their own, so they could afford to view them from a distance through a romantic lens. now they know for a fact that they are dirty pathological criminals.
>>
>>3294915
but thats not true tho
gypsies are distinctly gypsies and look different, speak a different language and have a different culture
they are so distinct its unmistakable, even the ones that speak the local language and dress and behave like normal people are still recognisable because they simply look like gypsies, they have darker skin and different facial features

THERE IS NO "OREGON TRAIL". TRIPS ACROSS THAT DISTANCE WERE NO MORE DANGEROUS WITHIN CENTRAL NORTH AMERICA THAN OTHER PLACES. YOU, LIKE THE REST OF YOUR SORDID GENERATION, HAVE BEEN SOLD A LIE TO PAY THE LIVING EXPENSES OF THE PEOPLE THAF MADE THAT GAME. LOOK UP THE DEVELOPERS OF THE GAME AND YOU WILL KNOW WHY.

The Polish and Russians seem really incompetent. Charles also got lucky that everyone around him was stupid because there were like a million chances he could have died in that war. It's like a bunch of retards fighting it out with one retard being slightly smarter than the others

Why did the French divide their former colonies into so many different countries? Did they want to keep them small and powerless?

That was probably part of it, but I think on a more practical matter they just had to make the provinces small enough to manage. All large polities have some sort of lower-level district management, even if they aren't explicitly federations.

Humanity hss advanced so damn much, so damn fast, technologically speaking.
Will humanity ever reach a moment were advancement is not only technological, but transcendental? Or is humanity doomed to be as hollow as it is?
Is trascendentalism doomed to be exclusive for a few individuals?
