They were lucky to share a continent with the British people.
and thats not even counting Germans before the unification

Prussia was the region that ultimately unified the unwashed German masses. The Prussian elites roused the German hordes and manipulated them into destructive wars. Now that Prussia has been separated away, you can see how quickly the remaining "Germany" has declined. It is just a husk. The globalist Prussian elites, now part of Poland and Russia, are the real ones that should be applauded, I guess, if you're into that sort of thing.
Did Indo-Iranian nomads get absorbed by Slavs and Turks, or did they get killed by them?
>>2344539
The Cumans, Pechenegs, and Khazars were usually described as having blonde and red hair, so I think the ones at the western extents of the steppe were just Turkicized at least.
>>2344539
They became Slavs and Turks
WE
>>2344539
They mixed with the tatars who migrated westward into their territory. The current population of places like Turkmenistan are Indo-Iranians with varying levels of tatar admixture. Slavs have nothing to do with it, considering they didn't even show up in that part of central asia until the 18th century.

>An account of the influence on Napoléon’s Grande Armée of the typhus epidemic, which caused half of the soldiers’ deaths, with only a fourth dying in combat and another fourth from starvation and exposure. Napoléon’s doctors had warned of typhus epidemic in western Russia—a landscape that the 450,000 men had to cross. With the retreat of the army, typhus spread throughout western Europe.

Never happened in the east, that is.

The so-called "Roman salute" actually didn't exist in ancient Rome, but originates from a French painting.
Of course the Nazis were doing it out of WEWUZISM though.

A fascinating character really. Burdened with a really harsh upbringing to compensate for his birth defect of a shortened arm. Certain doom pending for all his time on the throne, for an unhealthy monarch can only bring harm to his realm.
I believe firing Bismarck was a necessary step for his emancipation. Time proved him right. Never again Germany was as successful as under his rule. Art and science blossomed like no tomorrow. The militaristic Zeitgeist didn't leave him any wiggle room in the weeks before the World War. Truly a tragic figure and severely underrated.

Ayn Rand Quotes. There are two sides to every issue: one side is right and the other is wrong, but the middle is always evil.
The real thing about evil," said the Witch at the doorway, "isn't any of what you said. You figure out one side of it - the human side, say - and the eternal side goes into shadow. Or vice versa. It's like the old saw: What does a dragon in its shell look like? Well no one can ever tell, for as soon as you break the shell to see, the dragon is no longer in its shell. The real disaster of this inquiry is that it is the nature of evil to be secret.

Guys, Could any of you summarize to me Plato's theory of inspiration, its flaws and strengths, or just basically your own understanding of it.
I've got this.
Relevant dialogue: Ion.
Every art is made possible by the science or knowledge of its subject matter by the artist, which knowledge is put to practice in the artist's activity. "Art" here meaning: medicine, painting, ship building, flute playing, etc. But poets, when asked what is the subject matter of their art, and how it's done, are unable to answer. Thus they don't know their art by means of a science or knowledge of their subject matter. Rather they are inspired by some god or muse.
When one is inspired, the same loses his faculties and lets as it were the muse or God speak as it were through him. But when a poet sings or recites, say Homer, his inspiration is "second hand", because the original inspiration was given to Homer. But Homer got his inspiration from a muse, and the muse from a god. Socrates then compares inspiration to magnetism. The God is like the loadstone, the source of inspiration, and chain of muses and poets that receive his inspiration are like many iron rings hanging from a magnet. Only the first ring touches the magnet directly, the second ring touches the first ring, the third the second, etc. forming a chain.
Later Platonist Proclus used the same analogy with regard to the philosophy of Plato, claiming it didn't have human, but divine origin. The first link in the chain, Orpheus, received the philosophy directly from the god; then Pythagoras got it from Orpheus and Plato from Pythagoras, etc. Thus he called Platonism the Golden Chain, a name which Marsilio Ficino was still using in the Renaissance of himself and his school, and Thomas Aquinas used the term to refer to the Catholic apostolic tradition from Jesus to the prophets to himself.
Plato is famous for banning Homer from his ideal politeia or "republic". Homer, claimed Plato, would undermine the piety among the youth because of the way he portrays the gods, with their many adulteries, patricides, etc.
Proclus, however, returns to Plato's theory of inspiration laid out in the Ion in order to "save" Homer, in a context of declining Hellenic culture and rise of Christianity.
Plato's ban on Homer, claims Proclus, was only meant for the youth, because they were too young to understand the "secret, philosophical meaning" of Homer (which philosophy happened to be identical with Plato's), and would only get the literal meaning. Since, according to Plato, poets were inspired by the gods, they could not possibly say impious and erroneous things about the gods, but hid their meaning from the profane speaking in parables and metaphors. Only adults properly trained in philosophy could interpret the "right" meaning of Homer.
The same strategy of interpreting otherwise embarrassing texts in the light of Plato's philosophy was employed by the Jewish philosopher Philo of Alexandria and the early Christian Church Fathers. Augustine writes in the Confessions that he was scandalized by the OT of the bible before someone taught him the way to interpret its "spiritual meaning", that is, Platonism.

Really broils my beef.
>>2343573
That beef is not yours to broil, comrade.
What were they used for? Why were European so obsessed with these things back then?
Food mainly. Why? Because in the days before sanitation odds are your food tasted like literal shit, so having some spices you never had before was a thrill. It was a novelty back then. Pepper was called black gold back then and now you can buy it cheap as fuck.
Same for tea and other things people liked. Life was shit, so you needed something to take the edge off. Good tasting food was one of those things.
>>2343352
Do you not possess a sense of taste or smell? Are you english?
They are very useful since eating delicious food never goes out of style, they are compact, and they are easy to ship. You can mark them up by a huge margin and people will pay it. It's therefore obvious why they were one of the first things successfully traded continuously over long distances.
It truly makes one ponder.
