Free will is a myth. The only things free are the monies i get from da government every month

You have no control of your subconscious thoughts and actions, but you do make decisions in your conscious mind.

Libertarian.

He describes himself as a "freedom fanatic" in one podcast.

he is a centrist libertarian but probably leans a little to the green side.

>>2172214
libertarian

>>2172047
Nose too big?

>>2172047
I bet he would've liked reddit a lot

>>2172047
He was THE hipster of his age.

No, Zinn just never noticed when the 1960's ended. Him and Noam Chomsky maintained the same incorrect views decades after they had been refuted by the rest of academia.

>>2171898
Well what did he say about WW2?

>>2171898

Never trust anyone who can't admit when he was wrong. Like Chimpsky, Zinn never repudiated any of the so-called "socialist" tyrants he championed at various times, he went to his grave denying the Cambodian genocide and refusing to criticise Pol Pot.

>Is it not better to stand and fight against a lion rather than run away?
Go fight a lion and tell us how it works out.

>yeah but we have guns and shit now
For like 800 years. Evolution doesn't work that fast.

>>2171895
Cos people who ran away from lions didn't get eaten and lived to pass on their genes ya dingus
It's not better to stand and fight if running gives you a better chance of surviving

>>2171895
Perhaps the whole process of overcoming one's fear and building up courage results in strong men. In turn, these men who developed strength of character were the ones to pass on their genes.

In nature, probably both the completely fearless and the cowardly perished, giving place to the ones who could most reasonably calculate risk vs reward in order to survive.

Pretty much the same as today, general sends letters to groups, local leaders in the form of officers who distribute orders down the line until you get to squad formations of some sort, thus everyone knows what they need to do

>>2171568
They smashed them together like a autistic kid with two wooden blocks

>>2171580
But upon new orders, how would this reach those on the frontline? Would they be in a position to obey and break off fighting? I know that battles mostly ended in routs but frontline sounds like complete suicide.

>>2171582
That's what I'm trying to imagine but I can't.

Materialistically? No.

Spiritually? Yes.

This is why a materialistic definition of the universe is asinine.

>>2170930
I mean, those workers that reassembled the trolley onto the track and still had it hurtling towards that guy are assholes.

>>2170866
It has been argued any act is moral when it comes from an enlightened mind.

futhermore you can make arguments to monism, arguing that killing a group is no more wrong than curing a virus.

Now most Buddhists will object to these but to my knowledge they have been made before

>>2170866
There is none.

If they want to be violent, they'll do it irrespective of what their religion tells them.

That it's necessary. IIRC the rationale in Myanmar is that Muslims will destroy Buddhism if they have the chance and won't leave of their own accord so violence against them before they can enforce their will is essentially pre-emptive self defense.

Who gives a shit

AD is a myth. We call it the common era because we can all be traced back to a commen ancestor who lived in antioch 2000 years ago.

Bhagavad Gita

>>2170475
Greco-Roman, it's not the most interesting but it is prevalent in modern literature and film and is important to understand

>>2170475
Share with us the files anon, let us read with you.

Oats, or any grain, can be soaked in water for a couple days. Longer, and they will ferment. Given a choice between dry feed and wet ferment grain/hay, any farm animal from ducks to hogs to cows will choose the fermented. After a while, you get used to the smell. It's sort of a beer tang, well, just walk by a brewery and you'll smell it. Hogs love that shit

Oats are still the grain of choice for feeding where I live. And pigs can eat fucking anything so you can just let them out in the woods.

>>2170463
Jesus christ, those are some fat pigs

Because Mosley was a crank who went around giving speeches to drunken louts in pubs.

Why would they follow a Zionist?

The sun family was inbred as fuck and sun quan was the worst of the lot for exiling his extremely talented prime minister. Liu Bei abandoned his family on no less than 3 occasions running from battles. Cao Cao deserved to rule.

>>2170196
>Liu Bei abandoned his family
That was in fashion for heroes of that time, you forget your family to focus on your quest
>Running from battles
You mean the thing Caocao elevated to an art ?

>>2170196
Cao Cao by far in real history

In the stories its Zhuge Liang, since ya know he wrote the stories and all

>individuals with inflated egos with a united force at their disposal (that they had never possessed before) attempting to carve out their little Empire, then retroactively claiming this was done in the name of a religion?
yes
Islam would have never gone anywhere if it hadn't been spread by the sword

>>2170020
Getting money and power, like every other empire fucking ever. Your attempts to belittle them as if the spread of the Arab Empire was any pettier than any other territorial expansion is retarded.

>>2170038
To be fair, for all we know, it could have alternatively spread in a manner similar to Christianity. Certainly would have been slower growth though compared to how it actually happened.
