People have always been mostly irreligious. Most peasants aren't dumb enough to believe in bullshit like god or the afterlife. The only reason why atheists started coming out of the closet in doves after WW2 was because of freedom of speech finally became a thing. Prove me wrong.

The Islamic world completely failed to modernize, but why? In the 19th century, it seems there were decent attempts (tanzimat, pic related etc.), but now salafism completely won, and Islam isn't really a religion anymore, it seems closer to formalism.
China also made a terrible entry in modernity, was also colonized, but is now developed and rich.

Not everyone wanted to modernize. There were sections of the population vital to administration and holding a lot of power in the non-Western countries who stood to lose a lot in the way of lifestyle and power if modernization went through. You can see this in the Ottoman Empire with the Janissary revolt.

This was a problem in all of the states that tried to modernize, and some countries found it easier to just make a new government from scratch (e.g. Japan).

Was WW1 the end of "great" melee warfare?
When exactly did it die?
39 posts and 8 images submitted.
>>
>>3279601
In WW1 melee combat was more of an exception than rule.

Franco-Prussian war would probably be one of last "old-fashioned" wars in that regard. The French still sued cuirassiers like pic related. Everything past 1870s slowly evolved into industrial slaughter. Boer Wars, Spanish-American War and Russo-Japanese War are first modern wars.

American Civil War? I'm legit asking, I've heard many times it being called one of the first modern wars.

I recently watched this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQHBAdShgYI) video by CGP Grey, where he asserts that the only reason that the teletransporter really frightens us is the continuity of consciousness.

However, this same criterion applies to general anaesthetic and sleep. If that's the case, then unfortunately sleep abrogates the criterion we have for personal continuity, and so kills us. I recognise Parfit claims that this "doesn't matter", but I don't see my own permanent death as sow thing that "doesn't matter". If anything, it is of utmost importance. Why bother planning for a future I won't exist in?

This(http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-1049286) CNN article presents the idea concisely, as does this (http://existentialcomics.com/comic/1) comic

I've been having sleepless nights lately, so I just want to see if any philosopher has addressed the continuity of consciousness specifically.

Well Nazis were in the streets of Paris, and took all of France in 44 when they didn't think Vichy was doing a good enough job. Sounds pretty conquered to me.

There's a reason journalism and communications killed traditional methods of war, civilians can't wrap their head around the horrors of war.

Yes, of course. Hundreds.

One of my favorites is a little known tale about a judge named Ehud. Ehud was a left handed man who sought an audience with one of the pagan kings neighboring Israel. This king was a fat man, but paranoid, and Ehud said he had information the king must hear.

Ehud, being a left handed man, fashioned a shank and hid it on his right thigh. Thus secreted, he gained an audience with the fat king and stabbed him so viciously that the king's bowels burst out, and the shank was completely enveloped by fat and guts.

Ehud makes his escape, but the servants of the king get nervous, as it begins to stink in the king's chamber. They figure he's just taking a dump. However, a lot of time passes. When they finally open the door, there is their dead fat king, but no Ehud. Clean getaway.

Joab has an interesting story, and is an incredibly interesting character--a calculating and underhanded but brilliant and undefeated general serving under King David; basically a bad guy working for the good guys.
