He went full tinfoil after the war ended because he couldnt admit hos side lost the war. His very descent into mystical stormfaggotry also made him poorly suited to lead the far right after the war with hitler outflanking him after the bier putsch

That's not really him in the Wonder Woman movie, it's Red Skull with a different name.

Youre wrong because the mind is a by-product of life, life's driving force isnt derived from it. The driving force of life is the mutagenic field.

>>2904913
No you're wrong, genetic information couldn't even be interpreted without the process of biosemiosis. Mutation is just a driver of variation.

>>2904908
Yup this is the conclusion I came to as well. It's the process of logic to self-resolve, the thing we call 'life'. Everything else is dead matter. Take the deadpill.

>Russians before 1917, amirite
Russian Empire was pretty good at wars, only the last few decades went poorly

Please elaborate, I don't know much of Russian history. I'm not.even sure why the Crimean war started? I know it was something to do with the dirty Turk.

Instead of asking a bunch of people who really don't know anything about the subject, why don't you go to Wikipedia's article on Australian Aborigines, look at the citations section, look up the books there that are relevant to your question, see if your local library has them, if not, see if your local university library has them, if not, email the authors and ask them the relevant questions.

You could probably count her abo dna percentage on one hand.

in terms of mathematics, Egypt focused more on practical stuff

Theoretical mathematics began with Greece, Euclid's Elements is the first known math book to use deductive reasoning and introduced the concept of mathematical proofs

i am tired of this "Egypt taught Greece" meme

>Egypt

good one

You are a major retard, the kind of retard who isn't even aware of being an ignorant retard so he still feels the need to voice his "opinion":

It was the Empire which was Holy and Roman

>>2904036
(((Empire))) of Germanic LARP-ers.

It protected the Catholic Church, which was holy and in Rome.

Are you implying that the Kingdom Of Prussia named itself to honor old prussians as valiant combatants?

>>2904023
Where the fuck did you get that idea? it wasn't even officially called the Kingdom of Prussia, the title was King IN Prussia because the HRE was fucking autistic about kingdoms

>>2903810
I'd say so, but people who'd be "too dumb to vote" probably wouldn't give a fuck anyways.

>>2903810
The main problem is that people who are intelligent and informed enough to vote rationally make up 0.0001% of the population and you have 99.9999% of population voting as if they're placing bets on their favorite sports team.
Removing the people who are intelligent enough to at least recognize they are inadequately informed about politics would do nothing at best.

>>2903831
This.

You can't be intelligent enough to recognize that you are not intelligent enough to vote. If you feel this way, you either have simply not bothered to look into the candidates, or have extremely underrated your own intelligence.

It was a noble revolt and That region was the wealthiest in the world. They had tones of cash of their own

>>2903613
Spanish Netherlands was the wealthiest region at the time

The dutch actually repaid their creditors and built decent trust, which usually meant they could reliably secure loans at decent interest. Unlike the Spanish crown that was like a black hole for investors and would just as happily threaten you to pay them more when they defaulted on their last loan.

Geopolitics.

Majority of Russian core cities and population lives in more or less modern European part of Russia. If they lose this, they're done as a country. To protect themselves from ever losing it, they have a very basic policy - expand in each direction to get every invader to face thousands of kilometres before he even gets to that core region.

From the east they're covered. From the south - they're mostly covered, especially as Caucasus forms a good natural border nowadays. From the west, they are not.

St. Petersburg, Russia's 2nd biggest city is maybe 150 km away from Estonian border and 200 from Finnish border. For some people that's a lot - but from Russian perspective, it is nothing.

As such, expansion westwards puts the danger away from the ethnic Russian centres.

Second reason is that on the East, there are few harbours they can make use of. Vladivostok is really more than they need. On the west though, they historically needed more non-freezing Baltic ports and a safe passage to Mediterranean together with port there(Tartus says hi) as a mean of power projection.

Third reason is that the communications with the far east are hard. The trans-Siberian railway runs 7 days from Vladivostok to Moscow. Used to be longer in the past. Used to be much, much longer even further in the past when the railway didn't exist. As such the eastward expansion was blocked logistically.

Fourth reason is that aside from what they already have, there's not much prize there. Manchuria has some resources and this is the historical limit of their expansion and plans in the region. What else is there? Koreas? NK is hell and SK was one of the poorest countries in the world until the 70's kicked in. Mongolia? Lol. Inner China? Historically they either weren't able to send troops there or had diplomatic reasons not to. Now they risk a world war by attacking them and economical expansion, lol, it works in the other way round nowadays

>>2903556

Meanwhile westward expansion meant - fertile lands and developed economies being included in their empire.

I won't pretend to be an expert, but when I studied older English literature at university Beowulf was said to have been Christianized to some degree.

Concerning your question about MA, I think you see correct that he means the Logos/First Mover.

From what I'm reading, Grendel is supposed to be of Cain's lineage, but he is also a "Fen-dweller" which is what Fenrir (the wolf that bit off Tow's hand and will do battle with the gods on Ragnarok) is called.
They also refer to their world as "middle-earth", Middangeard, which is pagan cosmology.
Despite these Germanic tropes, it also condemmed those who sought their salvation from Grendel in "heathen temples, worshipping their idols" and very, very often invokes there "Almighty Father" and God in general.

they didnt have to, they went through the multiple gaps.

Why didn't the Picts just go around Hadrian's Wall?

BECAUSE MONGOLS ARE THE EXCEPTION

Fantasy books like The Song of Ice and Fire.

1 is longstanding meme in popular culture before ice and fire
2 is reactionary counterswing to the romanticized ideal of chivalry
3rd is same as the first, victorian or renaissance borne snobbery
4th is whatever. I remember an otherwise well written and archaeologically minded book suggesting that any armor that wasn't soft or organic material was ceremonial. So bronze plate found during the Mycenaean period would be ceremonial to them.

>"armor was basically useless and was worn only for decorative purposes, a sword would go right through it"
what the hell! Do people actually believe this?
