He didn't prove God. He only showed that there has to be some point where logic starts.

There's a huge leap from that to deism, and there's an even bigger leap from that to theism, let alone Christianity.

Does egyptian mythology have heroes like Hercules or Gilgamesh?

Not really, Phaeros were diva queens who would not tolerate a hero stealing their screentime, I mean fame. The closest to a hero would be Imhotep but he was more of a Merlin figure

Didn't he lose his dick? Lmao nice fucking hero I mean fuck Hercules, Odysseus, Theseus or even norse Thor who pretty much served similar purpose they killed beasts and stuff but Osiris? He lost his cock now that's some accomplishment worthy of a movie or two.

What is the most likely scenario for World War III?

proxy wars are the future, man. direct confrontation between major powers is too costly

>>2340344

Hard to predict. You're not likely to have an all out, conventional war, especially not one with nuclear weapons, until at the very least American military hegemony decays to the point where you have multiple Major/Great powers who are more or less military equals.

At that point, things will have changed so much that it's impossible to say what the political tension lines would be.

Someone with a belief in the afterlife getting the nuclear codes and then experiencing an unfortunate series of geopolitical events that leads them to rationalize pridefully escalating a conflict beyond the breaking point and sending billions of humans to the kingdom of heaven.

How do you define capitalism?

I've always thought it was the freedom of choice between varying brands of goods and services in exchange for currency. Am I wrong?

So many people hate on it without even knowing how to define it

Is modern techno-industrial society a historical anomaly whose time will soon pass?
101 posts and 14 images submitted.
>>
I hope not. I thought the movie Interstellar had the right of it in representing the decline of civilization, minus the magical blite inexplicably rendering the atmosphere unbreathable. Human civilization may hit some hard times and become anti-industry, andi-progress, because those are what caused the environment to collapse and allowed nuclear weapons to be created. Then we will just struggle along despite antibiotic resistant diseases popping up and crop monocultures being wiped out by disease.

I can't imagine we would ever loose agriculture. But we may fall far far from where we are currently.

If we want to colonize space now is the time while we still have cheaply accessible liquid energy bubbling up from the ground.

Yes. It's very fragile and has a lot of moving parts.

>>2340085

it's up in the air at this point

Western governments need to get their priorities straight, and fast. I don't have faith in China (even if they do have quantum computation and genetic engineering of homo sapiens), and while Japan is currently awesome (muh space elevator, muh robotics) they can't do too much alone.

I'm a little rusty with my Iranian leaders, so apology's, but I think Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi was better for Iran. He was the one pushing for "westernization" of Iran, correct?

This, he saved Spain.

40 years ago today, Tony Kiritsis wired a shotgun to his Mortgage Broker's head and rigged a "Dead line" to himself (if he was pulled away from the shotgun it would go off) and did a live interview and paraded around downtime Indianapolis. Stand off lasted for 63 hours.

Saw this in the schlocky documentary "The Killing of America." What a beady eyed entitled douche. Where does this guy get off endangering all these people and being a loudmouth and publicly torturing a guy because he was too stupid to read the terms of his bank loan?
