Long ago in a distant land, I, Aku, the shape-shifting Master of Darkness, unleashed an unspeakable evil! But a foolish Samurai warrior wielding a magic sword stepped forth to oppose me. Before the final blow was struck, I tore open a portal in time and flung him into the future, where my evil is law! Now the fool seeks to return to the past, and undo the future that is Aku!

This shit is common in Medieval cultures. Spectral figures, fantastic beasts, fairy folk, they all seem to have a real, tangible presence in the world.

I wonder why it isn't taken more seriously today.

Hi.
First of all I ask all of you to behave well, I want to have an intelligent discussion here, so if you don't have anything constructive to say please do not reply.

I was supposedly born "jewish" although I do not believe in it, and do not see myself as one.
The race of those who are called "jews" is semitic mixed with white.

So I see myself as a "semitic atheist" not so called "jewish".

You have to understand something.
Judaism is a religion.
Not a race.
It had to be invented at some point.
It was invented at 700 -600bc.
Before that the so called "jews" were israelite tribes.

They had to come from an existing race that started to believe in this religion called "judaism".

If you'll go back enough generation in the lineage of those who are called now "jews" you will get to someone who was not "jewish" because this ideology wasn't invented yet.

Let's say communism was invented not a hundred years ago but 3000 years ago. Now let"s also say that an aspect of communism was to only marry other communists.
But it still won't make their race "communist". Communism is just what they believed in.
So this is what happened with the so called "jews".
They were some existing peoples who started to believe in this ideology called "judaism" and intermarried.

According to you, is Judaism the only true religion?

Does people not from your religion go to hell?

It's Eurocentric trash by askenazi to call Jews a race. There are European Jews, Arabic Jews, Ethiopian Jews and even East Asian Jews so they obviously can't be a race. Then again Israeli Jews are obviously full of Caucasian supremacy what with their dislike of blacks.

Does language play a part in shaping culture or is it only a way to gain access to a certain culture? Would America or English culture be any different if they spoke Old English?

If they spoke Old English, they'd essentially just be Scandinavian speakers and have more in common with the Nordic languages than actually having a language identity of their own.

Language is culture - culture is language.

What matters is the society they are formed in. Language and culture are both children of the societies they came from, rather than being the parents of each other - they are siblings, not parent and child.

Octavian defeated Marc Antony and Cleopatra at the Battle of Actium and went on to become the first emperor of Rome, but how would things have turned out if Antony bested Octavian? Would it even be that different?

idk

>>2365968
It would have been very different due to Marc Antony's hard on for Cleopatra and Egypt. At best, this might cause a Byzantine-like situation. At worst, you'd get a civil war or assassination due to unhappy Italians.
>>
>>2365968
If Augustus had not won then Rome would've eternally been destroyed. Anthony's loyalties no longer layed in Rome whatsoever but purely in Egypt, the land of inbred pharaohs, and that corrupting harlot Cleopatra. Augustus went on to make Rome grand and to give us, filthy Barbarians who were nothing more but naked savages bathing in our own filth, civilization through Roman military conquest and mercy. We would not be here basking in the light of Rome's shadow if Anthony had his way. Augustus was pure and upheld the virtues of the Republic and traditional Roman values that have formed the basis of all successful states from Rome itself to America. Marcus Antonius would've left nothing but eastern debuchery and betrayal in his wake for future people of the western world.

Wouldn't call the Ottomans or Seljuks* tribes. They were more like Empires. Oh wait, they actually were empires. I'd call you an idiot, but I'll just assume that you're uninformed and that's the reason you're asking. But the Names of these groups were Dynasties that eventually became society's. Turks are where they are from/ their ethic background just as Saxons are from saxon, irish from Ireland and So on.

The rest I know not much on. They were very significant in the times of the crusades as well as what some call the middle civilizations between asia and europe. Once trade was established Europe and Asia would never be the same. You could give them credit for the exploration to the New world and birth of exploration and colonialism.

How do you deal with the constant guilt that you are wasting your time or not working efficiently or that trying to work efficiently is dumb or any of the other endless prevaricating about your choices?

I always have it. I want to reject all wisdom, self help, and philosophy related to this as bullshit, and I truly believe it's all bullshit, but I keep getting drawn back in and thinking about things.

Part of the problem is that if I truly use my intuitions I end up throwing almost everything in to the trash. Of course that includes self help but it also includes all boring as hell fiction and boring as hell pointless philosophies and current events and history and so on. There are ten trillion things you have to claim you are interested in or else the pseudo intellectuals will come after you.

Of all people, Zizek sums it up well but he doesn't realise you can generalise to literally all philosophy. I have completely realised that all philosophy that is practised is an infinitely small amount of all possible philosophy. I can see this but society abuses you and yells you to fall in to line and swallow the bullshit

Consider the possibility that any step you take may be a step in the wrong direction, and therefore may be worse than taking no action at all.
>>
>>2364377
Not OP but I definitely often have regrets of doing things when I should've just let it slide by.

Inaction is probably the best thing you could ever do in your own life, unless you are for certain that doing an action would get you into a better place.

But you have to be 100% certain, and know everything about the action before doing it. Alot of humans, including me, have failed to act in such a manner, and it has cost me precious things which I would've liked to have back.
