As the informed historians all of you are, do you think a dictatorship or democracy is the most optimal for a society?

There is literally nothing wrong with a totalitarian police state dystopia.
People are like horses they need structure with well defined boundaries and a job to do to be happy.

dictatortot, democracy is clearly a failure.

>>2174565
Personally I like the idea of democracy but it always suffers from eventually turning into a corrupt oligarchy.

You can't interact with anything, but you are free to travel space and time at leisure.
What are the first historical events you will witness for yourself with this ability?

Then I'd go all the way back to Australopithecus and watch development all the way up to the first agricultural settlements.

Is it a liability to instill a sense of fairness in your child and to teach them to be honest these days?
Everyone seems to be a sociopath with a complete disregard for any kind of virtue, I have a kid on the way and I'm wondering if I'd be setting them up for failure if I don't teach them to be a scheming scumfuck.

I think rather than forcing arbitrary beliefs onto impressionable children, you should give them a solid base framework and let them make their own decisions. That's not to say you should give them 100% freedom, but you need a balance. Then again I'm not a parent so what do I know.
tl;dr give them knowledge, not "wisdom".

If you want your child to be a reflection of what you think is wrong in the world, then yeah, go ahead.

Why Liu Bei couldn't work with Cao Cao ?
Both men had similar goals, they hated chaos and wanted to restore order like they both did fighting the yellow turbans in their youth. Cao Cao had obvious respect for Liu Bei and his brothers and Liu Bei needed Cao Cao support several times in his life.
An alliance would have crush the Yuan brothers much sooner, would have make LuBu a non-issue (even if he had joined Yuan Sho) and the Wu would have give up long ago. The awful Jin dynasty would never exist and the Han dynasty would have survive, probably thanks to a grand-son of both Liu Bei (who was from Han royalty) and CaoCao (who had the real power and wanted to established his dynasty).

You guys know Wu's to blame for this right?
>>
>>2174320
Wu was a bunch of pirates taking advantage of the Yangtze to resist Wei. They had the political influence of a dead gerbil.
Liu Bei and CaoCao could have work together at several points in the story. They just choose not to.
>>
>>2174298
>Both men had similar goals
Namely political and military supremacy over the middle kingdom under the pretense of being Han supporters.
Problem is, it's not a goal you can achieve while having equals.

How do I stop feeling guilty about not working non stop? Apart from things all humans do plus going to the gym, I feel guilty about any of my habits. And I have no goals.
I want to read books but I feel guilty about reading a set number of pages a day. I am worried about being called a pleb for not reading ten trillion boring Western canon novels. I feel like an ADD pleb for rarely reading more than 60 pages at a time. I hate that I'm more likely to put a book down at the end of a chapter.
Similarly for working. I know I could always be working to become better off. I know that people who talk about taking breaks are just lying to themselves. I feel bad for not having the willpower necessary to work non stop on one thing for 10 hours. If I work on one thing then I miss the big picture. If I work on many things I am a dilettante who doesn't achieve anything.
And the funny thing is that I'm a Stirnerite. When you stay unspooked then everyone else's belief system feels like a personal attack. Fuck these people who say that X is so important. X is always working hard / enjoying yourself / focusing on one thing / focusing on many things / reading history / classics / philosophy / other shit.
The awful thing is that I know everyone else is a fraud. That NFL player who everyone loves and says is hardworking has never read a book. That mathematics professor known as a genius is a disgusting dyel. That literary figure who goes on about Shakespeare being a god doesn't know any maths or science greater than an 18 year old yet claims to be worldly. That billionaire who goes on about humanity's big issues does nothing but write checks for people who make social media apps.

I'm assuming people you've looked up to held the beliefs that nonstop work is essential? I know that's how most adults I grew up around thought, that work is intrinsic to character.
Just ask yourself: do you believe this? If so, why? This cognitive dissonance isn't a bad thing, just work through it.

You should be on /adv/ or in therapy. Sounds like you have some self-esteem and paranoia issues. Making baseless assumptions about people not only turns out to be wrong most of the time, but also serves to keep you in your own little negative hell you've created for yourself, where you sink further into your own confirmation bias.

Imprisonment really doesn't seem like an effective way of combating crime, especially for token amounts of time like 18 months. I just overheard a news story about an 18 or 19 year old who was imprisoned for "terrorism offences" for 18 months - I can foresee a news story in 24-ish months about "what went wrong" when a 21 year old man blew himself up. Here's what went wrong:
>goes to prison for 18 months
>during that time, his hatred for the West only deepens
>probably meets more extremists in prison who circlejerk each other in an echo chamber
>gets out in a stupidly short amount of time
>goes back to committing terrorism offences
And in most cases it's the same for other criminals - they're not going to suddenly turn into upstanding members of society, they're going to go back to whatever they were doing before. It all seems like a huge waste of time and money.
I know it boils down to money, and that it's usually more expensive to try and rehabilitate criminals.
Is there a better solution than token imprisonment? Some sort of incentive to not commit crimes in the first place, since prison really isn't that much of a scare if you're already at the bottom of the barrel?

IIRC, some areas of Satanism hold that the opposite is true of God, and that Satan is the figure of love, benevolence, understanding, so on, and so on.
>>
>>2174039
>Satan is the figure of love, benevolence, understanding, so on, and so on
Why they think that?
>>
Seems to be mainly edgy teens who don't actually worship Satan but pretend to in order to look cool. They want to reject God, but ironically, since Satan is God's creation, by worshipping him they're indiriectly worshipping God as well.
As for real Satanists, fuck knows. There's probably some rational reason that doesn't revolve around being edgy but not being one myself I have no idea.

But they didn't fought, they were sold to some sheikh.
