Loser.

Your intellectual growth would actually be better served by reading a Marxist analysis and applying critical thought to it.

>>2644017
If I wanted to read cancer I would. A fascist or conservative is just as able to criticize Salazar's regime and not focus on muh racism and muh colonies for the entire length of the book, but actual issues.

I could read an entire book written by a Marxist on the problems with fascist Italy but they will only tell me how much they oppose colonialism, racism, fascism and other things on an ideological level, rather than actual problems with the regime such as a weak military and lacking industry.

You're a fucking retard. Fuck off and kill yourself.

>Historical materialists not focusing on the materialism

I guess you've never actually read a Marxist author, have you.

Buddhism?

>>2643941
Beginning in the first centuries CE, India contributed— largely through the vehicle of Buddhism— to all aspects of Chinese religious, cultural, artistic, and material life. Chinese notions of transcendence had been radically transformed by the Buddhist notion of liberation, just as the Chinese heavens and hells had been populated by gods and demons of Indian descent. Chinese paintings and sculptures drew heavily on the Indian— no less than the Central Asian and Greco- Buddhist— techniques by which the Buddha had been visually rendered, and the Chinese performing arts— storytelling and drama— adopted the Indian modes of the chantefable (alternating prose and verse) that had been common in the Indian subcontinent. Chinese philosophy had been forever altered by the substance and style of Indian epistemological and ontological discourse, and the Chinese diet was transformed by the adoption of the sugar and the rice gruel that had been consumed by Indian Buddhist missionaries. Even Chinese furniture had been fashioned after Indian precedents. Prior to the advent of Buddhism, the Chinese sat on mats, whereas following the example of Indian monks they began sitting on chairs.

We might easily lose sight of the layers of mediation that lay between India and China, given the rich history of trade between the two regions. In medieval times, each was well aware of the other’s existence, exchanging all manner of goods and even a series of political embassies. Beginning in roughly the first century, a vibrant trade between India and China flourished, with the establishment and expansion of the Silk Route. India supplied precious gems and aromatics, medicinal plants, spices, cotton, and Buddhist devotional objects; China sent porcelain, gold, camphor, and, above all, silk. The goods came through various routes— most famously through the oasis kingdoms of Central Asia, but also by sea and along passages through Tibet and Burma. But while there are records of Indian traders in China and Chinese traders in India, trade for the most part took place through middlemen. Much of what came to China from India arrived through the efforts of Sogdians, Parthians, and later Arabs. Hence, while many Chinese had seen Indian cotton, or consumed sugar that had been refined by techniques transmitted from India, few would have ever met an actual Indian. The same was true for Indians, who may have been familiar with Chinese silks, but would probably have purchased them from other Indians or from Central Asian merchants.

>first civilization
Sumer and Akkad predate it but yeah, sucks to know that Egypt was basically a food ranch from 525 BC to 1953 AD.

>>2643899
That used to be the consensus among scholars, but older Egyptian stuff has been found, so it's looking like Egypt and Sumeria were basically coterminous.

This is Heaven Lake, situated on the border between North Korea and China. The lake lies within the caldera of Mount Baekdu, a volcanic mountain which formed the caldera following a massive eruption around 1000 AD, one of the largest in recorded history.

The lake holds much spiritual significance to Koreans, and according to legend Mount Baekdu is where the Korean people originally came from.

>>2643890
Imagine if that place happened to be in South Korea. You know those chaebols would relentlessly capitalize on that shit. There'd be Samsung beachfront resorts and Hyundai sponsored splash parks.

>>2643857
korea is the italy of asia
shitty peninsula divided into good north and shit south surrounded by stronger and better countries, only significant at one point in history and basically useless trash today.

Die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

because Mongols cannot into culture so they just adopt whatever culture of their subjects

same case happened with Mongols in the middle east.

>>2643823
China had better administration than Mongols.

Also, Mongols never knew about taxation, so they loved Chinese administration.

Calavery became alot more effective to it was a waste of horses to use chariots.

>>2643808
Can you elaborate on this? Why was cavalry more effective in medieval Europe?

>>2643788
Chariots weren't widely used during Roman times. That shit is early to mid Bronze Age.

>>2643767
Quite common, I GUESS.
Outside of the world that got written down people are shitbags regardless of the time period.

Atheism is impossible, so never. The new scientism is the deepest faith-based religion yet on earth. What you really want to be asking is whether they waned towards nihilistic religious thought, not whether they became logical contradictions.

The Fournier Register is a set of records from the inquisition into heresy run by Jacques Fournier, Bishop of Pamiers between 1318 and 1325. Fournier was later to become Pope Benedict XII.

Even though the main focus of Fournier's inquisition work was to find Cathars, he was occasionally confronted with skeptics and nonbelievers.
In 1318, Fournier interrogated Aude from the village of Merviel. Aude had initially expressed doubts about the transubstantiation, and had subsequently also discussed her nonbelief in the existence of God with her husband and aunt. To her husband she said: "Sir, how is it possible that I cannot believe in our Lord?"[1]
And she asked her aunt: “Aunt, what might I do to believe in God, and to believe that the body of Christ is really on the altar?”[2]
Another woman, Guillemette of Ornolac, was brought in for interrogation because she doubted the existence of the soul. She expressed the opinion that what is referred to as the “soul” is nothing more than blood and that death is final. When Fournier asked her if anyone had taught her these ideas, she answered: “No, I thought it over and believed it myself.”[3]
Both women were sentenced to wear a double yellow cross on their backs for the rest of their lives.[4]
An even more outspoken villager who was called in for questioning by Fournier, was Raimond de l’Aire. Witnesses had heard him say that "God never made the world, that the world had always existed, that the resurrection was a myth, that the Eucharist was nothing more than bread and wine, that the rituals of the priests meant nothing, and that he gave to the poor not for his soul but so that others would see him as a good man." [5]
A witness told Fournier that Raimond deserved to be put to death for saying that Christ was not created through divine intervention, but "just through screwing, like everybody else.".

Possibly. Making every post in the cursus honorum "in your year" is quite a feat for a man of low birth

trouble is oratory has to be heard to be properly judged. the remaining writings only give us part of the picture, and not the important part
