Does anyone else get suicidal feelings even when not sad like they feel constrained in a human body and crave death because they just want their body to return to the earth/air/sea? I'm a ket user btw.

WHY IS IT THAT OFTEN, WHENEVER SOMEONE ADDRESSES EXISTENTIAL, OR ONTOLOGICAL, QUESTIONS, THERE IS ALWAYS THE PERFUNCTORY MENTION OF RECREATIONAL DRUG USE?

>>3172770
thought it more be more relatable to other ket users than those who aren't due to the existential/dissociative nature of such experiences
I'm not one of those people who randomly mentions taking drugs in conversation if that's what you think

I was reading this book on the meaning of Western architecture, which begins in ancient Egypt. I always thought of the pyramids as absolutely the most basic and least practical structure in history. This book sort of changed my mind. Egyptians saw the landscape as divided in two axes by the Nile River (which flows from the North to the South) and the sun (which rises in the east and sets in the west). These predictable phenomena laid the groundwork for Egyptian religious sentiment; that, unlike other ancient river civilizations, their gods were contemplative rather than destructive. They adhered to a natural order rather than revolutionized it. They don't bicker and quarrel; they promote structure and routine. Egypt represented this. Eternal, unchanging order... that by this constant, unchanging order of the universe, contrasting forces can act in opposition to each other in harmony. This is what the pyramids represent: eternal order. One can see this by the things they stored the corpses with, as if they would continue their life even in death. As if death was but an element of the nature of the constant universe. False doors represented the passage from one life into the next. Irrigation techniques based on the eternity of reality. It's all so magical. I understand Yu-Gi-Oh! so much more now. Incredible.
Anyway, just a thought.

Why was it common for the mercantile class/caste to be assigned a relatively low place in the social hierarchy in antiquity, despite their material power? Were there any societies where merchants were given a higher standing than the warrior or priest caste?

I'm seeing a mounting amount of evidence that Palestinians are Jews who never left Judea and were converted to Islam over time. Did any Jews stay behind after the roman exile? The claim to Israel would be ridiculous if Palestinians are really Jews.

It's bullshit. Pic related.

Some did, but they were displaced later on. Palestinian clans all have different histories with different origins, most of them are straight up LARPing to claim a history predating either the first Arab conquest or after the Crusaders were pushed out. However the idea that all Jews were displaced at either 70 AD or after Bar Kochba is not true. Usually bullshit Israeli historians like Shlomo Sand straw man and try to say since the Jews weren't all kicked out in 70 AD that means the Palestinian Arabs are Hebrews for some reason. After the Samaritan revolts and other Jewish revolts later on they were displaced again, it was a slow process but the Arabs have taken over the land through birth rates mostly. Also Samaritans who are Israelites and have never left Israel are much closer related to Jews than they are with Palestinian Arabs. That should tell you something.

This is the last Emir of Bokhara if I remember correctly. Must've been pretty surreal to live in the thick of the great game.

What's the best textbook to learn latin? I studied it in school. We mainly used the Cambridge course and did translations to english of texts by Caesar, Cicero, Horus, Livy, Sallust, Ovid and Virgil. Since I've forgotten a lot I want a rigorous textbook to work through.

Never forget, people DIED for the eight hour workday.—Rebecca Gordon
Freedom is never granted; it is won. Justice is never given; it is exacted.
- A. Philip Randolph
“Silence never won rights. They are not handed down from above; they are forced by pressures from below.”
―Roger Baldwin
Do any of you guys know a quote or a paragraph of intense visual and poetic quality that concerns the slow achievement of human and social rights after centuries of struggle? I am sure there must be a book that makes (maybe on the introduction or in the conclusion of the volume) some beautiful and concentrated remarks about the fact that so much that today is normal and well established for us needed to be extracted with strikes, wars, blood and sweat from those on power by our ancestors.

You can say that when you are not the one fighting against the dilapidation of labor rights in your country. The one who is fragile and spoiled here is you. Probably never had to work a day in your life (except for comfortable desk jobs) and had the University paid by your parents for you.
Also, I am not talking to /pol/ here: spoiled babies dont have nothing to offer.

>mentioning Nicky, who people can justify the murder of
>not mentioning his children, wife, and sister-in-law who did literally nothing wrong
I mean, Nicky is my patron saint and all, but Alexei and his sisters were murdered because of who they were, not because of anything they did.
