If I brought contemporary music back to different times in classical antiquity, what do you think they would like and dislike? If you don't think ancient Greeks or Romans in any era would appreciate modern music, what is the latest style of music you think they would?
>>2329648
dance music with an emphasis on major key would probably be appreciated by any culture if played often and people are encouraged to dance to it. a beat and dance is fairly universally appreciated.
singing during music can come off as strange or disturbing to isolated cultures, and could easily to historical ones.
a skilled analog synth composer's music would blow someone like bach's mind, stereophonic composition included.
>>2329659
I fantasize about showing someone like Bach or Tchaikovsky this song.

Pfew, almost did a good work today when some lady asked which direction Salvationville was, but then I realised I just founded a religion that says you only have to believe in Christ to get into heaven, so I just spat in her face and stomped her stomach.
>I can buy passage with my actions, fuck the poor an isolated
Not to mention your religion is false since jesus failed to come back before his apostles died.
>>2329504
Wow, same here. But I confessed to my priest afterward and he says I'm all good now so yay me!
>>2329530
Christ told the apostles to follow his example: "As the Father has sent me, even so I send you" (John 20:21). Just as the apostles were to carry Christ’s message to the whole world, so they were to carry his forgiveness: "Truly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven" (Matt. 18:18).
This power was understood as coming from God: "All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation" (2 Cor. 5:18). Indeed, confirms Paul, "So we are ambassadors for Christ" (2 Cor. 5:20).
Are there any secular ethical theories that don't entirely rely on hedonism or self-interest?
>>2329306
>I have two personalities
>history and humanities
oh also the answer to your question is there are many stoicism is a good one, personally I am quite fond of Chan Buddhism, the theistic elements can be completely ignored in favor of just focusing on the eight fold path and meditation
>>2329306
Self-interest is the basis by which pretty much every organism in existence makes decisions.
Are we living in those times now?

Pretty sure, just see how the word "woke" triggers mentally handicapped liberals.

Let's have an open forum. I'll original pose questions and ideas that, perhaps, you haven't considered. You feel free to do the same.
Let's begin. Idea #1.
Racism has always existed and still rampant. But for this point let's set racism, stereotypes and all that aside to consider a valid question.
When African slaves were brought to North America, was their evolutionary process disrupted and if so what are the implications?
That's not the favorite question that's been in my mind this evening but it is the one that was stuck there when I created this thread.
I will have more that are not of a cultural or racial nature.
And ask me something. This is my first thread over here on /his/ so hello and give me some ones. Challenge me with a really good philosophical question.
Here's one more to help get it started.
Can anyone here identify the thing that makes an obsession "an obsession". Why is it, for example, that people come to 4chan with a particular fetish and they want it over and over...sometimes even imposing it on others in threads where it doesn't fit?
Who is the greatest U.S. president of all time and why am I smart for knowing who Polk is?
Donald J. Trump
FDR & Lincoln
[power gap]
Washington
[power gap]
everyone else
>>2329107
Where the fuck is Teddy, and why is FDR up that high?
Sniper appreciation thread
Nobodies likes snipers, soldiers would rarely give them a chance to surrender.
>>2328932
Why?
>At the beginning of the war, the Mosin–Nagant 91/30 was the standard issue weapon of Soviet troops and millions of the rifles were produced and used in World War II by the largest mobilized army in history.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosin–Nagant
Who is the most underappreciated US president and why is it Nixon?
Obama, Clinton, LBJ, Truman, Eisenhower
Carter and Nixon are both severely underrated and demonized.
>>2328879
I'm going to have to agree with both of those.
Who were the best historical trolls?
>>2328782
Hitler, he trolled Germans so hard they're still feeling the effects of his prank.
>>2328782
when titus or homer or someone said about romans visiting a house in some country each night and they all had amazing silverware and how rich they must appear but was in fact being moved house to hosue every day to show how much money they had and little they needed outsiders.
>>2328782
Pretty sure those girls would need veils irl. Nice painting regardless.

Your buddy has an atrocious grasp of basic philosophy and theology.

Its a bit scary but he delivers it flawlessly, you're stuck listening for an hour cus he so compelling and too nervous to interject

I'll start opit off with pic related.
Some ideas to throw out there.

General discussion on worse movies. Opinions welcome on why.
>worst special effects
>terrible acting/directing
>historically inaccurate
>Hollywood bullshit/blown out of proportion.
>>2328591
>Fury
They stuck to the source material at least.
>>2328591
Tom cruise in Valkyrie was a mistake from the beginning. Terrible movie overall.
New Hawksawridge was cringeworthy. Andrew Garfield in a movie about WW2 was almost as bad as that new Spiderman movie that came out a few years ago.
Who was that with again?
Oh wait...
>>2328694
I kinda liked Shy Laybuff in it though haha.
But as far as it being a movie I knew when I saw Brad Pit in the Trailer that it was gona be a Hollywood bullshit movie rather than accurately depicted.
I can't hate the movie.
So what was your thoughts on Crash Course Philosophy? The last episode just uploaded today.
I thought it was more introductory then John Greens history ones. Not bad if you are first getting into it but definitely not a stand in for an actual education on the matter.
>>2328264
Pretty shit desu, I just want crash course to do 1 actual educational lesson.

I wish the incessant religion baiters would stop.

>>2328237
>implying /his/ isnt a politically motivated bait shop
>>2328214
It is but the real posters stay away from it.
I still come on these kinds from time tl time to try and spark sense into people saying "its bait dont go for it!" Or "fuck off back to /pol/." But somehow people just ignor and still feed into it.
Alas my faith for /his/ dwindles
>However, trolls are also attested as looking much the same as human beings, without any particularly hideous appearance about them, but living far away from human habitation and generally having "some form of social organization" — unlike the rå and näck, who are attested as "solitary beings". According to John Lindow, what sets them apart is that they are not Christian, and those who encounter them do not know them.
>Later, in Scandinavian folklore, trolls became beings in their own right, where they live far from human habitation, are not Christianized.
Are the legends of Scandinavian trolls just corrupted accounts of Norse pagans that rejected Christianization?
>>2328153
Yes ofc. The norse were notorious for despising their own religion and coming up with, and converting to christianity before it reached them.
>>2328221
>converting to christianity before it reached them.
I'm talking about troll folklore from after the Christianization of Scandinavia.
Maybe, it would not be unlike the Tuatha de Dannan of Ireland being pre-Indo-European peoples who retreated to woods and hills and literally became elves.
