>>2337377
He has a nice way of synthesizing psychology, philosophy and evolutionary biology into a coherent thought structure.
I enjoy his life advise

During the Battle of the Bulge, the American 101st Airborne division, The Screaming Eagles held the city of Bastogne (a major crossroad of the German offensive) from December 21st, 1944 to December 26th 1944, this would become known as The Siege of Bastogne. During which, the Germans superior numbers had chipped away at the American Forces. Nearing Christmas, the Germans gave the Americans the Ultimatum. Brigadier General Anthony McAuliffe responded with one word:
"Nuts!"
The Screaming Eagles ended up holding their position and caused a German retreat.
>tfw Anthony McAuliffe shitposted an entire Nazi battalion and won.
Captain sobel trained them well.
Shit talking Hitler
Part One: Dietrich "I used to be a stormtrooper like you but then I took an artillery shell to the face" von Saucken
A cavalry officer who regularly wore both a sword and a monocle, Saucken personified the archetypal aristocratic Prussian conservative who despised the brown mob of Nazis. When he was ordered to take command of the Second Army on 12 March 1945, he came to Hitler's headquarters with his left hand resting casually on his cavalry sabre, his monocle in his eye, saluted and gave a slight bow. This was three 'outrages' at once. He had not given the Nazi salute with raised arm and the words 'Heil Hitler', as had been regulation since 20 July 1944, he had not surrendered his weapon on entering....and had kept his monocle in his eye when saluting Hitler.
When Hitler told him that he must take his orders from Albert Forster, the Gauleiter of Danzig, Saucken returned Hitler's gaze....and striking the marble slab of the map table with the flat of his hand, he said, 'I have no intention, Herr Hitler, of placing myself under the orders of a Gauleiter'. In doing this he had bluntly contradicted Hitler and not addressed him as Mein Führer.
To the surprise of everyone who was present, Hitler capitulated and replied, "All right, Saucken, keep the command yourself." Hitler dismissed the General without shaking his hand and Saucken left the room with only the merest hint of a bow.
Between May 1928 and July 1930, the former General served as a Reichstag deputy for the monarchist German National People's Party. He intensely "distrusted Hitler and his movement,"[46] and approached his relative Hans-Jürgen von Blumenthal with an idea to form a coalition with the Stahlhelm against the Nazis. This resulted in the Vorbeck-Blumenthal Pact. Later, when Hitler offered him the ambassadorship to the Court of St James's in 1935, he "declined with frigid hauteur."; the suggestion for the nomination as ambassador to the Court of St James had come from retired Colonel Richard Meinertzhagen during a visit to Berlin.[41] During the 1960s, Charles Miller asked the nephew of a Schutztruppe officer, "I understand that von Lettow told Hitler to go fuck himself." The nephew responded, "That's right, except that I don't think he put it that politely."[41]
After his blunt refusal, Lettow "was kept under continual surveillance" and his home office was searched.[41] The only rehabilitation due to his legendary status among the German people came in 1938, when at the age of 68 he was promoted to the rank of General for Special Purposes, but he was never recalled to active service.
What are some lesser known natural geographic strong points or areas of strategic importance that have changed history?
Things like the gates of Thermopylae or Strait of Gibraltar.

There's a pass through the Judean hills that's mentioned in the Bible in the context of the Israelite-Philistine Wars, that one of the British generals later exploited against the Ottomans in WWI.
If White people style their hair into cornrows (ignore the cringe) is it culturally appropriation? Have no European societies ever used cornrows? Even going beyond Europe, are cornrows an exclusively "Black" way to style your hair?
>>2337122
Since black hair is uniquely textured, yes it is an exclusively black way to style their hair using hair.
Even if it is...so what?
Seems like modern day sjws want to return to the 50s where dem niggers and dem white devils stick to their own side of the railroad tracks and keep interaction to an absolute minimum.
What's the difference between cornrows and more generic braiding?
So in the most recent Tomb Raider you go and explore the lost city of Kitzeh, which in the game is a Byzantine city somewhere in Siberia, founded by a 9th century heretic prophet and his following.
Highly unrealistic, but fascinating storyline nonetheless.
I feel like it's obvious they're pointing to the Byzantine origins of the Russian world in this one.
What can /his/ tell me about it?

Stop playing video games and read a book

Sounds like a meme interpretation of the prester john myth

>What can /his/ tell me about it?
About the city? It doesn't exist IRL. I'm Russian myself and I live in Siberia. I've travveled all over the land and there are no Byzantine cities here.
how old were you when you grew out of natural law?
12 here
A man's natural rights are his own, against the whole world; and any infringement of them is equally a crime, whether committed by one man, or by millions; whether committed by one man, calling himself a robber, (or by any other name indicating his true character,) or by millions, calling themselves a government.

The mediævals were only too right in taking nolo efiscopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop.
>>2336909
Define “good“ leader.
If you want to get shit done a certain amount of recklessness helps. If you want to inspire be good.

If you guys had to argue that the fall of Rome occurred at a distinct point in history, what point would you choose and why?
I'd say it was CE 476 when Romulus Augustulus was deposed.
44BCE
>>2336730
313 AD
That's when Rome gave up to the cancer within it
>>2336730
I would say that the Fall of Rome is in our future. If I had to guess, I would say 2024.
>Furthermore, because the universe is natural, its self-selection amounts to a cosmic form of natural selection. But by the nature of this selection process, it also bears description as intelligent self-design (the universe is “intelligent” because this is precisely what it must be in order to solve the problem of self-selection, the master-problem in terms of which all lesser problems are necessarily formulated). This is unsurprising, for intelligence itself is a natural phenomenon that could never have emerged in humans and animals were it not already a latent property of the medium of emergence.
What did he mean by this?
>>2336688
>for intelligence itself is a natural phenomenon that could never have emerged in humans and animals were it not already a latent property of the medium of emergence.
lol intelligence can't emerge if it's not at least potentially emergent

PD: The Universe. You’ve got to be impressed by the Universe when you see order in the Universe. This wasn’t an accident, Miss Rand.
AR: Oh, now you’ve got to give me a few minutes. {Audience applause} What do you think would happen in a disorderly Universe?
PD: In a disorderly Universe?
AR: What’s the concept of order? What does it have to do with things which exist? If they clash with each other, if there were contradictions, they wouldn’t exist. There is no such thing as a disorderly Universe. Our whole concept of order comes from observing reality. And, the reality has to be orderly because it’s the standard of what exists.
PD: Right. So…
AR: So, the contradictions cannot exist.
PD: Okay. So, we have an orderly Universe because it’s impossible to have a disorderly Universe.
AR: That’s right.
PD: I got that. I understood that.
AR: Fine.
PD: Do you understand what a breakthrough that is that I understood that?
So did the jews kill Jesus or what? What's the stance on this today.
>>2336643

T. Noko
>>2336643
Yes, no, and no.
The had a kangaroo trial and condemned him to death for blasphemy. They beat him, spit on him, and wanted him dead. By their own Law of Moses, that violates Thou Shalt Not Murder.
But they either did not have the will or the right to execute him (he had quite a popular following, and they were subject to Rome), so they turned him over to Rome and essentially blackmailed Pilate into crucifying Jesus.
So the Jews condemned him to death, murdered him in their hearts, and let the Romans do the dirty work.
But nobody killed Jesus. He came to die, and no man had the power to kill him without his consent. So when his work on the cross was finished, he gave up his spirit and died.
Note that Pilate was surprised Jesus died so quickly, and note that a centurion set to kill the three condemned criminals broke the legs of the two living thieves, but as Jesus was already dead, stabbed him in the heart with a spear just to make sure.
Nobody killed Jesus. He committed deicide on our behalf.
