What are the arguments for Free Will? What are the arguments for Determinism?

The way I see it:
>Physics and chemistry follows on deterministic processes.
>The human brain controls the human body
>The human brain is beholden to physics and chemistry
>The human brain follows deterministic processes
>The is no free will

when you lack the willpower to distinguish between yourself and your thoughts then of course this is true, and you are acting only from conditioning and experiance, but when your practice controling your mind and thoughts you give yourself the chose of free will

Just ask anyone who believes in free will to define it. No coherent definition = nonsense concept.

>conquers more territory in Asia than Napoleon does in Europe
>defeats Napoleon in battle

Why do people rate Napoleon over Wellington?
I'm assuming it's racism, that people think Indian armies couldn't possibly be the equal of European armies. Even though the Indian states Wellington was beating were richer and more powerful than the European states Napoleon was beating.

Really makes you think

Not really racism, more the eurocentric view people have.
>>
>>2930811
I'd bet there are pages about French villages on Wikipedia right now that are longer than pages about Indian cities.

It's not just deliberate Eurocentrism but it's easier for dumb people to think only one place has happenings in the world at a time. Thus Greeks disappeared after Cleopatra, who was black anyway.

Why doesn't Israel just build the 3rd temple already? I mean, they de-facto own the land, so it's not like anyone can stop them.

On that note, if they named the country Israel why didn't they restore the monarchy? Reviving the holy kingdom of Israel as a republic seems like utter sacrilege.

So what was happening here? What lead to the fall of the Visigoths to the muslims?

I barely find any documentation on these guys, or how life was during their rule, only how they got destroyed in Guadalete, leading to the Ummayyad Caliphate controlling almost all of the Iberian Peninsula.

Was there any practice during medieval Japan of capturing nobles for ransom like in Europe? Were Japanese too quick to commit suicide precisely to avoid such results in every case?

They did, I think. Minamoto no Yoshitsune, if I'm not mistaken. Was seppuku really that prevalent in premodern Japan? Or was it just as common as Roman suicide?
>>
Seppuku during the warring states happened but is was Roman tier. An acceptable way to regain honor, but not the only way.

Edo period is when everyone went crazy about glorious suicide.

Yeah but it had a picture for ants and I'm wondering how you historyfags deal with this. I mean basitcally we're down to bedrock with this one, either its a forgery or this indicates some genuine prophetic power in the book. On the other hand there is plenty in the way of failed prophecies in the book.

You could just as easily say that Persians looked like Eastern Romans.

I don't know an awful lot about Eastern Rome suspect it might be a similar case to the late western army, where people accuse late Roman soldiers of "looking like Germans", when in fact it was the Germans copying Roman fashions and not the other way round.

>>2929878
Inglourious Basterds is an interesting film to me because any one scene from it - seriously, any 10-minute segment - plays like a fucking masterpiece. I was so excited for the rest of the movie after watching the first segment. But the movie overall doesn't hang together very well, something's off with the pacing. It's like 5 fucking fantastic short films with no momentum or narrative cohesion connecting them.

One thing I will say is that Tarantino does food porn like nobody else. That movie never fails to make me want a glass of scotch, strudel and espresso, or a tall glass of milk.
