It's a bit simplistic especially since all you need to read is Machiavelli and economic theory.

Collectivism leads to genocide. There will be always some "others" that don't fit the collective.

> How can this tragedy be prevented if at all?
By opening global borders, so refugees could escape genocides.

if the Terico's have their usual muskets in the center they would win

if they don't have the muskets id give it to the Macedonians

>Who would win?

The one with guns I guess.

>>2770242
Out of the two pikemen blocks? Assuming the top is Macedonians there's no way Tericos could beat some of the most experienced soldiers in human history armed with longer polls and shields. They might have a chance if they're run of the mill Hellenestic infantry of varying quality, but they have no chance against Alexander's troops.

It's difficult to tell, because, though he certainly would have been the most intelligent President of all time, intelligence does not equate to success as President. It's probable that he would've been great, though.

Game theory is effectively rationalist morality. Is that what you're looking for?

>>2774702
It still doesn't seem to refute radical skepticism. A priori knowledge or morals are still dependent upon one's own perception, and if one cannot prove they exist then neither can their perceptions be proven.

1. All evaluative reasoning both that considered "moral" and that considered "amoral" is the choosing between alternatives.

2. All evaluative reasoning ultimately derives from a formal or informal hierarchy of values, or value-set.

3. All Value-Sets ultimately reduce to a series of stated axioms, the rejection of which by an act of will destroys the value-set. If you don't care about pleasure, utilitarianism means nothing to you. If you don't care about eudaimonia, virtue ethics means nothing. And so on. In short, all moral philosophies are merely the working out of certain axiomatic premises, a priori assumed values at the base of the structure.

This is the "problem" of moral skepticism properly defined. The only solution to this problem would be if all values were ultimately reducible to a series of values build into the structure of consciousness itself. That is to say, to prove that all consciousnesses [human and otherwise] actually desire the same fundamental things, and only the means differ.

Many ethicists try and prove this, very badly, when you corner them and try and get them to justify their axioms. But usually they don't do this in a formal sense, an appeal to universal values implicit in consciousness. Instead they simply call you evil or dumb and imply you already agree with them, and are just pretending otherwise to be stubborn.

In absence of such a proof however, a kind of root of will itself, all value-sets are based on the purely subjective desires of particular agents.

The Medieval Tourney can get pretty lethal sometimes. Especially during the Early Middle Ages. Although by the late middle ages and the 16th century it just became this faggy social event.

Imperial Chinese Lei Tai (Striking Platforms) were pretty much mostly non-lethal Proto-MMA rings set up in a town/city square for public entertainment.

However in some dynasties, Chinese law only allowed duels to take place in public areas like bridges, crossroads, and such for the purposes of gathering large numbers of witnesses so the thing wont be misconstrued as murder. So sometimes, a Lei Tai event could get pretty interesting whenever a duel between two quarreling parties will take place, effectively turning it into a bloodsport venue.

Fucking burgers.

I would think we have less crazy people since we know so much more about mental health. But it looks like we have more for the same reason. Can you imagine how many people were batshit insane in, say, the bronze age, that people thought were talking to the gods, or were just in an aggressive kingdom or tribe where it was just considered normal to kill each other over anything?

Shut the fuck up.
