Germany here.

History Class for german stuff started with Bismark. We did speak about the revolution(s) in 1848/49 very briefly.

no ancient or medieval topics whatsoever sadly.

But I did learn about the third Reich three times. (6th, 10th and 12th grade)

>>2203966

Sanskrit scholar here.

Quite easily the most difficult language ever. Shits all over Ancient Greek.

>>2203802
Difficulty means nothing.

>>2203809
Sure it does.

Sanskrit was too difficult even for natives, hence the development of the Prakrits like Pali and Hindi.

Sanskrit was like the Ithkuil of its day.

Βάρβαροι.

JUST

Nobody ever got eclipsed harder than the Achaemenids. Despite the fact that they played an integral part of reigniting the torch of civilization after the bronze age collapse, and made up 44% of the worlds total human population, they had the misfortune of being conquered by the Greatest General Who Ever Lived.

Today barely anybody knows of them, and even the most racially masochistic leftists, if they acknowledge they were there at all, refer to them as nothing but a bunch of barbarians with sticks. Likely stemming from their pathological desire to sling mud onto the glory achieved by Alexander in conquering them.

Wow it's like Western civilization is a category for nations that behave similarly.

>>2203756
Either way, the subject is "does history repeat itself?"
So if you're gonna contribute to it, please share examples of it having repeated, how you predict the future based on the past, or your view on why it does not repeat itself

>>2203748
General rule - decreasing of number of independent states and growth of empires - is actually repeating.

>a brilliant General or is that a postwar myth?

>implying that there are brilliant generals in and of themselves and that brilliance as a general is not always a myth

its a bit of both
he is compared to the military baboons of the SS and the red army generals who have their clear "PUSH HARDER COMRADE" commands from stalin

>>2203667
hello Tolstoy

>>2203545
No. He brought clarity to the field and helped spawning the logical positivists and influence current day philosophers such as John Searle who have cucked computer scientists for almost 50 years.

>>2203556
so you think Frege was a positive influence in philosophy?

>>2203595
the dude is responsible for modern logic

That's ol' slackie right there.

By being a finally united "nomadic" people. Nomads are fucking S tier warriors/expansionists OP. History shows this time and again. They're a non concern most of the time, because they're too busy fighting each other to focus on a singular goal, but every now and again, when the stars align, a person (or people) come along and whips everyone into shape, and whenever that happens shit has literal global consequences. See PIE, Huns, Arabs, and Mongols.

>>2203415
the byzantine and persian empires were weakened from years of war with eachother
and the islamic army was led by the very talented general khalid ibn walid

>>2203447
go ahead and add Turks to that list as well.

That Humanities majors are a bunch of salty fags who can't get over the fact some smart fella insulted their meme education.

He refers to the tendency of older philosophies to answer questions and categorize known and supposed information. That is to say they are running out of different names to call the same thing.

The sciences on the other hand have the luxury of assigning new names to new things, which keeps things fresh.

Note that I'm not trying to spout ignorance I just know that I a lot people believe Egyptians were black and a lot of people who think they weren't and I want to hear both sides

>>2203333
There is none. Egypt is in Africa, so they had to be black. You know, black are from Africa, stupid.

>We conducted novel analyses regarding the association between continental racial ancestry, cognitive ability and socioeconomic outcomes across 6 datasets: states of Mexico, states of the United States, states of Brazil, departments of Colombia, sovereign nations and all units together.

>We find that European ancestry is consistently and usually strongly positively correlated with cognitive ability and socioeconomic outcomes (mean r for cognitive ability = .708; for socioeconomic well-being = .643) (Sections 3-8).

Gee, it's almost as if europeans and their descendant's families come from wealthier backgrounds or something

Honestly, I find some of the linguistics, and especially the linguistic focus, fascinating. I'm still not entirely sure why the various authors felt the need to explain etymologies of names and places, which were presumably well known to the intended audience anyway.

it's not something that has to give you immediately
you can ruminate and re-digest all your life and come up with something different each time
you are not forced to get anything out of it
personally it is a literary masterpiece including some of the greatest devices conceived

I think Jesus' message was just a more extreme interpretation of the law of the old testament, in that you were expected to embody the ideas behind the law, rather than just follow its commands. I think however that it was an incorrect interpretation, and that the current legalism that Jews are sometimes criticized for is more correct (you were expected to love God, but I think loving God was expressed first and foremost by following the law and thinking that his laws were something you ought to follow).

I also think that the more gentile-friendly elements of Christianity are largely from Paul, and that the other writers were more Judaic in character.

I also take from Ecclesiastes that man has been grappling with nihilism since long before Nietzsche's "death of God."

Greatest President.

Butthurt leftists and fascists incoming.

A warmongering child BUT had the balls to actually fight in a battle.
