It was a book meant for an older time, where the concepts he wrote about would have been interesting, but they are of course pretty fucking boring now

it's poetic language

It means that if you don't act appropriately bad things will happen to you in life due to the consequences of your actions.

You just murdered someone? now a bunch of people are mad at you and you'll probably be killed, sent to prison, or feel guilty about it for the rest of your life: you are now in hell
You just took a bunch of cocaine? What's that, you've been doing it for many years now and your social/financial life and health has sunk to rock bottom? you are now in hell

Its not profitable when everyone produces a ton of food. No one will buy it at your price. They will be sold at 1c per billion tons of grain.

People who saw no profit from farming moved to other industries, which were readily available.

>>2169354
who the fuck said anything about profitability

fuck off autist I bet you're an accounting major always have to maximize the bottom line for schlomo don't you

The means of supporting yourself is economy.

You could be self-sufficient and live like Amish or you could partake in trade/industry and live a much grander life.

Made-up story about him being the Jew of Linz (it was, I think) who first sparked anti-Semitism in Hitler, according to Hitler.

The professor was visibly shaken, and dropped his chalk and copy of On Grammatology. He stormed out of the room crying those ironic post-modern crocodile tears. There is no doubt that at this point our professor, Michel Foucault, wished he had pulled himself up by his bootstraps and become more than an AIDS ridden sadomasochist interested in fisting. He wished so much that he had some kind of truth to hold on to, but he himself had written to disprove it!

The students applauded and all rolled into American universities that day and accepted Wittgenstein as the end of philosophy. An eagle named “Formal logic” flew into the room and perched atop the copy of "Principa Mathematica" and shed a tear on the hardcover. The last sentence of "Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus" was read several times, and Karl Popper himself showed up and demonstrated how dialectics is nothing but a means of justifying contradictions.

The professor lost his tenure and was fired the next day. He died of the gay plague AIDS and his "books" were disregarded for all eternity.

Brava!

After a long siege(around three years), Odoacer, the man who deposed the last Western Roman Emperor, was forced to surrender the city of Ravenna to Theodoric's army, sent by the Eastern Roman Emperor Zeno.
To seal the piece, Theodoric invite Odoacer to a dinner at the "Ad Laurentum" palace(now destroyed). During the banquet, Theodoric drew his sword and stabbed him in the collarbone, directly piercing Odoacer's heart; then it's said that the King of the Ostroghots exclaimed "This guy surely had no bones".

China and India fought a low intensity border war in the 50s.

In medieval times, a woman could get an annulment if her husband was proved to be impotent. in 'Medieval Lives' Terry Jones writes:

If the man failed to perform in the marriage bed, the wife was perfectly at liberty to go public about it. A twelfth-century manual advocates a physical examination of the man's genitals by 'wise matrons' who - presumably - knew how these things worked. Witnesses were then summoned to observe a full-blown road test of the under-performing member:

A man and a woman are to be placed together in one bed and wise women are to be summoned around the bed for many nights. And if the man's member is always found useless and as if dead, the couple are well able to be separated.

That is, sadly, how we know about Walter de Fonte, a citizen of Canterbury in the thirteenth century. In 1292, his wife complained he was impotent. He was duly examined by 12 worthy women 'of good reputation and honest life' who testified that his 'virile member' was useless. What a way to enter history.

Cuckolds were made to "Ride Skimmington", which meant they were put on a donkey or mule backwards, bound, and paraded around the street, enduring laugher and insults. The "reasoning" being was that women can't help their bad behaviour, and women were deemed sexually insatiable (with anyone but their husbands).

One incident I read about in Church Records forced a couple to live apart for a month, which I have never read of before. Why did this happen? Because the couple regularly missed church, and the man was dragged before the church court. His excuse? "She makes me f*ck her in church time"

>muh feels
great argument

It's true though, even the greatest of us won't be remembered in 10,000 years.The very act of attempting to create the illusion of an artifical meaning of life in a universe where those meanings would be meaningless in a few milleniums is "the absurd" xD

I thought the absurd was trying to imagine your own unexisitance. Like remembering the time before you were born and other impossibilities.

I don't, or at least I try not to.
