Lots of the time you'll see one of two things, and sometimes both; Compartmentalization, and desperation.
Compartmentalization usually comes from having been raised in one's chosen religion, and therefore treat it uncritically. Other times, the idea of death is just too scary for some people.

"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents."

i know a bunch of real smart people that are muslims, but they told me they dont believe in it as the actual truth but rather stick to it out of habit and because of family. another one said he "didnt want to break character", maybe he was just afraid of people changing their views on him.

it's more like participating in a reason to join up with the old family rather than playing a role as a rigid dogma

What did he mean by this?

Of course not. To deny one metaphysical claim doesn't imply the denial of all metaphysical claims. You might as well ask if monisim is nihilism or something.

Nihilism is (usually) a subset of atheism. So no, there are atheists with non nihilistic values like natural rights theorists, kantian universalists, consequentialist utilitarians, aristotelian virtue ethics , liberal pragmatism etc. Nihilism is such an overused word desu. It's not the same as pessimism, atheism, postmodernism or moral relativism. Christianity and Buddhism aren't nihilistic either unless you're a retard who parrots Nietzsche without reading primary sources.

He would order a Caesar salad.

Augustus would orobably like China the best due to its autocratic system of government. Julius would probably like the USA best.

How can you philosophically be a cuck. It's a fetish

>>2735452
Pleb for the free shit.

>>2735452
Philosophically, plebs see themselves as superior to plebs (even though they're not)

I used to think about this a lot too until I realized you can probably learn enough to trade shit within a half hour. That shit doesn't require fluency and years of study.

You teach them like how you teach a child
If it's the same language group, like French and Spanish you already have sentence structure. But more liekly than not you create a hybrid language which would be started by merchants and then later to groups if people of greater contact was made

Since people living in border regions tend to speak several languages, in the Old World you can theoretically chain enough such natives to speak with everybody. New World is the more interesting case, yet people still managed to learn each other languages in a year or so, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Malinche .

Just memes.

Pretty much yeah.

If automatic handheld crossbows were a thing back in 300 BCE China, why wouldn't a simple handheld crossbow be a thing in 1000 AD Europe?

nope

Kingdom of Heaven.

If they ever made a good movie about the 1565 Siege of Malta at about the same quality, I'd put that up top.

>Everything you see in the world of extended space is your body's response to a minor tingle on the inner surfaces of your eyes.
Wrong. Hallucinations are the product of the brain not the eye.

Missing the larger point, focusing on exceptions that are rare, and that I'd bet are parasitic on original visual data gathered through normal functioning.

Wrong. We can move our face without moving any part of our skeleton

Missing the larger point, even if true.

But there must always be an imperceptible pull of bone.

The bombing with atomic weapons of Nippon had absolutely nothing to do with the surrender of the nips. It was all about the Russians.

>>2734415
I always thought it was a combination of the bombs and the invasion of hokkaido. After all, the japs didn't start begging for peace after the Russians decided not to renew their non-aggression pact.

Dual wielding is pretty much common in many Southeast Asian martial arts.

>>2734346
In warfare? Never. In private duels? Sure, typically the second weapon worked as a main gauche.

No, dual wielding is a meme, famous Japanese duelists notwithstanding. It's utterly impractical on the battlefield and requires more effort than it is worth to use effectively in self defense.

It left before my time :'(

What didn't?
