>Once, when discoursing with his disciples, he noted that one of them was totally absorbed in taking notes. Slyly he filled a huge wooden spoon with gruel and threw it as a joke in young note-taker's face. Roaring with laughter, Luther shouted, "Write that down too"
What the hell was his problem /his/?
Medieval academics weren't very thought out. It's entirely possible Martin Luther didn't understand the value of note taking, probably instead believing that you learn best paying attention to the lecture or something.

How come China never invented the phalanx? Or something like the mandible system of the romans?
Not useful against horse archers
>>2087293
How come the Europeans never invented something like the Chinese bureaucratic system that managed to impose an uniform set of laws on a large Empire from the dawn of Greece to the collapse of the Holy Roman Empire?

Can someone please explain the French Revolutionary Wars?
What were they about? How/Why did they start? And how did France manage to obliterate a dozen nations simultaneously?
Also, if the French Revolution was about overthrowing monarchy and such, then why was it immediately followed by ... well... a monarchy? I seriously wanna know more about it because I feel like this is such a big gap in my historical knowledge.
Rothschild funded it to become rich
Same, this is also a big gap for me. I've heard it started because France was wasting its treasury on government programs, and I'd think it's a safe bet that France's old habit of absolute monarchy (in contrast with the Enlightenment's valuing of liberty) did it in too.
I also know that Napoleon said that he was trying to keep Republican ideals or something along that line during his reign as emperor. But that's all I know of him.
>>2087271
the revolution was seen as a threat by every other european power who feared they might end up the same so they declared war on france. joke's on them tho, heaps of revolutionary zealots + mass conscription for the first time + overpopulation + meritocratic officer corps means that the french army is going to kick all their asses.

What requirements does Jewry have before they can start building the third temple?
>>2086956
They don't even agree on that. But the most common variant I know of is the Messiah appearing and taking political control of Israel.

>enough global dilemma so no one cares when they bulldozer it
>>2086976
No, the Red Heifer is supposed to come after reconstruction; it would serve no purpose before without a temple to burn the cow and mix the ashes into the water and whatever else you do with it to ritually purify people.

What does /his/ think of Oswald Spengler.
are you creating the same thread over and over again in the hopes that you one day get an answer that confirms your bias by being in full favor of this man? it's not going to happen. the general consensus is that some of his stuff stands up under critical thinking and some of it does not.

I watched this movie, and kinda liked it. I saw it raised controversy, and I find it weird. Why is the memory of the Pacific war still such a touchy issue.
I can understand why China, Philippines, Korea still hold a lot of grudges against Japan. But the USA also seem to have a rather distorted view of the Pacific war, like still seeing Pearl Harbor as one of the worst crime against humanity ever, or refusing to acknowledge Nagasaki bombing was unnecessary. Why ?
No one ?
>>2085493
I can't imagine many Americans have even heard of The Eternal Zero, much less found it controversial.
>refusing to acknowledge Nagasaki bombing was unnecessary
We nuke them once and they don't surrender. We nuke them again and they surrender. Seems like it was necessary to me.
>why is a movie glorifying the aggressors of a war theater that affected over a billion people a touchy subject?
Why plebs' too flail to understand him:
>One does not only wish to be understood when one writes; one wishes just as surely not to be understood. It is not by any means necessarily an objection to a book when anybody finds it impossible to understand: perhaps that was part of the author’s intention—he did not want to be understood by just “anybody.” Every more noble spirit and taste selects its audience when it wishes to communicate itself; and choosing them, it at the same time erects barriers against “the others.” All the more subtle laws of any style have their origin at this point..

/his/ spouts a lot of propaganda about him either ironically or unironically. Don't expect much from this place.
So we all know he was a cuck for some times, but I also heard that he occasionally shagged his little sister and that he had regular sex with a 13 years old British girl on St Helena
That would make him:
-a cuck
+
-an incestuous guy
+
-an ephebophile
>>2085216
>he had regular sex with a 13 years old British girl on St Helena
napoleon did not fuck betsy balcombe you lunatic
at least my napoleon shitposts come with meme images
13 would be hebephilia, at least today.
Considering how much earlier girls enter puberty compared to now, attraction to a 13-year-old was probably straight up pedophilia in those days.

She heavily implied that they did
