I dabbled in religion as a kid, but fell into apostasy and eventually atheism as a teen when my local religious authority decided to just lash out at me when I got curious and started asking questions about my faith. (Protestants: Never again).
I've been wondering about the nature of consciousness and somewhat constructing my own faith system as of late, but it is dependent on "us" as human minds being monistically linked to our atoms and not some emergent metaphysical property.
>Universe is infinite within its own domain (conservationally cannot be annihilated, only transformed)
>We are all under the illusion that we are an independent spectator of the universe and not a part of it experiencing itself.
>There is thus no birth or death in the sense of one's personal creation or annihilation, we transform in and out of structures capable of introspection.
Is there a faith that follows along those lines somewhat?

In what war did Colonel Sanders serve in? I can't seem to find any information on it. Was he black ops or something? Did he fight in WW1 or WW2 and under what battalion. Did he kill any krauts or land any major victories?
Finally how did he go from being a military brat to being a chicken king?

Oh and is he buried in Arlington National Cemetary? If so, can someone point it out to me on a map? I searched and searched for well over an hour for his grave but could not locate it.
>>
>>3130592
In the slim chance you aren't a stupid troll, I will tell you that Sanders was not an actual military colonel. He was a Kentucky Colonel, which is a honorable order the state gives out, kind of like a life peerage.

We discuss the greatest empire in South America here, and a sad reminder of what might've been.
Republicanism was a mistake, restore monarchy now kthx.

Why was it an Empire and not a Kingdom?
>>
uma delícia

>>3130710
Kingdoms are generally ethnarchies. I think the notion of empire better describes (betrays) the notion that Brazil is not a real nation, but a patchwork of different regions and peoples, only kept united by sheer state force.

one of the criticisms i hear of Zizek is that he tends to focus too much on Europe
many Maoists think Marxists should abandon Europe and focus on the true revolutionaries of the 3rd world
they view first world workers in America/Europe as part of the "Bourgeois"
plus Zizek has talked about wanting to preserve European culture against Refugees/Islam

Eurocentrism is itself a concept originating in the western tradtion

>>3130385
this
it seems to strive from self hatred among whites, a sort of reverse White Man's Burden (Zizek uses that term)

It's time for the real challenge! How many sub-divisions of Holy Roman Empire can you name from memory? Add as right labels to map and show Voltaire who is the boss here.

because to become a real history buff you either genuinely have to be a huge fucking nerd or someone who took a liking to a certain period and decided to leanr more about it and found out it linked to something equally interesting and it snowballed and snowballed until you are where you are now
and a "normie" doesn't have either, he lives for the moment, wants to make money and fuck bitches and doesn't give a fuck what color where Roman legionary tunics.

You are aware that the Jews weren't the only people in the camps.
There were about 3 million Soviet POWs that seemed to stop breathing while in the care of these German resorts.

Real in what sense? It's untranslated so anyone who claims to know what it contains is simply a liar.
>>
>>3130006
Real as in, is it a forgery or not? Is the text inside actually genuinely logical and not actually gibberish? Is it a true book?
>>
>>3129980
It's either gibberish or possibly a "lost" language that died in Europe between the 16th and 19th centuries.
>Scientists were allowed to conduct tests in 1978 and delivered a verdict: the Shroud was manufactured in the Middle Ages. However, the scientific method was rather unscientific and it did not settle the question at all.
>Personally, i suspect that the Shroud is indeed real: it dates from Jesus' time and it might well be that the corpse wrapped in it was the corpse of Jesus. It is just implausible that someone (someone with an amazing knowledge of chemistry) would create such a perfect fake that would last for centuries and fool everybody for centuries. There is no other artifact from the Middle Ages that even remotely belongs to the same category. There is no document of anyone having discovered a technique to manufacture this kind of images. It is simply implausible that someone would achieve this feat but no record would remain of it, and that person would never take credit for such an amazing creation, and nobody else would ever learn that craft and continue it.
Is he right, /his/?

Scaruffi is full of lies. He claims to be some top notch pop music scholar including fabricated awards and outrageous claims (he owns some demos from Boards Of Canada which are owned by their good friends and near relatives). He is a liar

Why do people feel the need to use french where English is completely sufficient? Is it to seem sophisticated?

No.
Romantic love is a drug

It also lasts about one or two years

Hollywood really messed up people by making them believe that romantic love is so important.

Africa has a severe case of crab bucketism and trying to deny the biggest piece of evidence of why this is a shit situation is horridly counterproductive.
