What's more aesthetic, a united aegean, or a united Anatolia?
Aegean personally. One country controlling a sea looks cool as fuck. It's like a map to a new MMO

United Anatolia makes more sense geopolitically. One continuous landmass > one state divided by a huge ass physical barrier
Is 1996 mid 90s or late 90s?
I'd say mid 90s. It was still the peak of gangsta rap, britpop, Alanis Morissette, No Doubt, Beavis & Butthead, Alicia Silverstone, Power Rangers, Coolio, Tupac (RIP), grunge (until Soundgarden broke up in '97), non-bubblegum eurodance, golden age Simpsons (around 1998-99, the show began going downhill), Golden Age Nicktoons, Disney Afternoon, etc.
Plus, Clinton was still in his first term, and it was the last year where SNES/Genesis games were being released right alongside N64/PS1 games.

All I know is, he was nice enough to take the presidential pension even though he was a millionaire to save Woodrow Wilson the embarrassment of being the reason for presidential pension being created in the first place.
Sounds like a bro to me.
>>2120521
You're thinking of Hoover taking the pension to spare Truman the embarrassment. The presidential Pension wasn't established until 1958, and Truman was so completely broke upon leaving office he had to move in with his mother-in-law.

Does the British bourgeois option mean I'm a landed gentry with a country estate or some inner-city shop owner in london or birmingham or some other smokey slag heap?

He said bourgeois, not petty bourgeois, so you'd be a captain of industry, owner of one or more factories / mines, not a landowner or shopkeeper.

Does Jordan Peterson have a good conception of religion? I know he borrows a lot from Carl Jung and Mircea Eliade, but in the talks I've seen he dichotomizes between science' ability to understand how things are, and religion's ability to explain how one should act, and I do indeed agree with him that it is a meaningful distinction.
What I don't understand completely however is that he analyzes religion as a scientist, but he also says he is very religious.
Reason I'm asking is that a lot of what he says in some of the interviews(particularly the long ones) he has about spiritually resonates a lot with me, even though I consider myself an atheist.
>>2118014
Religion has a lot of good to offer, and there are some veery good teachings within Christianity. Jordan explained the difference between being atheist or something else along the lines of "In the journey of searching for truth, being an atheist is just taking a few steps on a million mile trail" or something like that.
>>2118014
The way I undetrstand his views is that he thinks many religious stories and myths throughout time are written down stories of behavioural truth. That is, the truth that has been revealed through action and subconciously been expressed in the myths of various cultures. In that way he finds them "true", not in the strict scientific sense but rather in his own category of "behavioural truth". Now, since he's from a christian culture and since he particularly thinks the idea of logos and the idea of sacrifice as expressed in the bible to be very appealing to him, he calls himself a christian. Even though(as I understand it) he doesn't really believe in the personal god as described in the bible. I remember seeing a video of him explaining his definition of God, but can't remember which one it was. But basically he said that when he feels meaning by acting out speaking the truth and living a good life then he feels like that represents him being in tune with a personal god. But it's honestly a lot of semantics I think and that he wants to appear to be a christian, when most people's definitions of being a christian wouldn't fit. He finds equal truth displayed in christianity in egyptian and mesopotamian mythology for instance. So he says he's "religious" because he finds truth in those myths. Does that qualify as being religious? To him it does, to me I wouldn't necessarily identify that as him being religious. Because essentially all he does is find wisdom in myths by interpreting them in his own way. That doesn't really qualify imo.
>>2118899
I think of religion , very broadly, as a form of comportment towards 'the world' and those within it, which is more or less how Peterson seems to construe it as well--though with a focus on, as you say, 'behavioral truth', or a pragmatic orientation.
