Are you the same person after ten or whatever years when all your cells have been replaced?

It's the same damn ship.

It's unresolvable, that's the point.

This is only a "problem" for platofags. There is no right answer to be "settled," it's just a matter of how you choose to define it.

Alcibiades.
Brutus.
The Praetorian Guard
The South.

Alcibiades

>fled Athens after being accused of sacrilege, sided with Sparta
>fled Sparta after making too many enemies there, sided with Persia
>Athens begged him back, so he left Persia too to become an Athenian general again
>had many successful victories, but after one loss everyone turned on him once more
>exiles HIMSELF from Athens this time
>assassinated by losers holding a grudge against him while wandering the world

BRVTVS is far more iconic than Alcibiades.

you're an idiot

not wasting the time to explain either soz mayn.

Maybe pre 1900's. War causes too much gdp damage now and is out of meta. Right now it exists to execute cartels such as Al qeada and isis to create investing opportunities in shitholes.

Sure, if you want to live in a martial state. The problem is that modern militaries are warfighting institutions and not governments. Needing to build your military framework to accommodate for statehood with modern militaries is actually a detriment unless you effectively turn it into a martial state.

Remember that, for example, in the United States, the President is in fact the Chief of the U.S military.

Never studied philosophy, would also be intrigued to hear this.

I'm guessing it has to do woth a point of loneliness when nomother oppinions of those you once revolved yourself around exist and instead you are just consumed by your ego?

Probably wrong but i hope it's not far from an educated guess.

You don't realize anything when you hit rock bottom, you get sent crazy. Go and ask a hobbo what ideals he has.

The greatest generation had to be that way to make it through the great depression and ww2. The goal now is to develop virtues without having to go through all that. To be frugal and diligent without the threat of poverty. To be assertive and strong even though you live in the burbs. To value liberty and rugged individualism when gubmint does nearly everything for you.

So the Romans were 3rd world?

You have to realize that meals back then had different parts. Eating more than one sitting was considered gluttony, my burgerfriend.

Childhood is thinking WW2 is super cool and interesting.
Youth is thinking WW1 is overlooked because it requires a deeper understanding of politics, but is ultimately more interesting.
Adulthood is realizing WW2 was indeed the most most fascinating conflict because it's when modern warfare truly developed and Europe shed the trappings of the past century in a truly ideological war.

Ww1 fags are just scared of being called Nazis. Ww1 is the safe war

I have long surmised that almost all that men do and work for, from autistic academic ardor to glory in battle, is to impress and attain women

What would we do if they didn't exist anymore? Fuck around, that's what.

Yes.
Beware the vaginal jew.

>Is men's desire for female validation the cause of all human history

FTFY

Because it was proclaimed as dogma by the Church desu. Pretty much all Christians in the world (other than most Protestants) already believe that St. Mary never sinned, so the idea that she was without original sin from the moment of her conception (I see it as sort of preemptively baptised) isn't a huge jump.

Has a movement based on the spread of information, without a charismatic leader like Lenin, Caesar or Napoleon, ever challenge the status quo of their society and win?

yes yes it was edits of cartoon frogs that convinced those 80,000 people to flip traditionally blue states into red yes

Alright. This is going to be long, but bear with me.

So you're a hunter-gatherer. You and your family of 30 or so other hunter-gatherers live pretty quaint lives. Every day you go out, do your thing, and come back home to your makeshift residences before moving on against as vegetation gets sparse, or the herd animals move on. Shit is tight.

Then one day while you and your buddies are out chasing down elk to death, you run into another group of guys doing the exact same thing. Except they're a little different from you. A little taller, a little quieter, a little bigger in general. You have literally zero cultural exchange, and you can't speak the same language even if you wanted to.

The shock of this meeting leaves both sides so baffled and on edge that your quarry successfully escapes to live another day. Your group of mates has wasted the whole morning and afternoon. You're pretty miffed, but this sort of thing has happened before. Besides, the incursion of these people, this /other/ has left you so baffled that you don't even know how it could get any weirder.

A couple of your buddies want to start shit, but everyone is tired from running around all day. So you go back home, tell your story to the womenfolk, the children, and the elderly around the campfires.

A few days pass, and the event begins to fade. Your family picks up and moves on. Then, on the hills... you see /them/. They see you too. In the distance, everyone just looks on at one another. No one can find the words to say anything about this transient meeting. You and the other men instantly become on guard though, because despite how similar these people look there's still something slightly off about them. Eventually they dip into the trees and out of sight.

The women begin to worry, the children are scared, and a few of the old men say that these people are demonic spirits. You keep your thoughts to yourself, so far this pack hasn't done anything to you or your ilk. So while they are a bit odd, they've given you no reason to think they harbor any ill intentions.

Time passes once more. You come back with a fresh kill, and everything seems ordinary save a group of hysterical women who run back from their daily chores of picking fruit, and digging up roots. There was a lone man, one of the other people. His appearance was such that they gave flight instantly without even learning his intentions. Many take this as proof of the demonic origin of these solemn folk. They say that he had come to steal the women away, to kill them, and do other horrible things.

The men are out for blood, but you press for caution. Going to war against this tribe could be a mistake. You don't know how many they are, and they did seem quite formidable. Perhaps there are many more in this region that you just have never come across, and they could easily outnumber and kill everyone in your family. Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps.

With these warnings, everyone is thoroughly subdued but still shaken by the day's events. To try and allay their fears, you say that everyone should prepare to leave in the morning and make a new camp somewhere else. This ought to put enough distance between you and the /others/.

For the Yous. People usually crave attention more.

It causes the pheromones in the pleasure center of your brain to start flowing.

Because having knowledge, analytical skills, and communication skills is something that requires a lot of work.

>How did it become the President doing whatever he wants?

That was always the original purpose.

>>2272490
>What was the purpose of executive orders originally?

The Legislative Branch writes the laws and controls the budget.

The Judicial Branch determines when the laws are right or wrong.

The Executive Branch does all the work dictated by the laws, fights the wars, and defends the Constitution.

So, an Executive Order is the President doing what the Executive Branch has always done: All the work, fighting the wars, and defending the Constitution.

They are not laws, but in a lot of ways, they carry a LOT more force. However, every President can issue any Orders he wants, as long as they are lawful, so they tend to be more transient than Laws.

Sounds a bit authoritarian. Especially since the original idea of the presidential office was much smaller than what it is today.
