Hey I need help finding a writer.
He seemed like a philosopher and he wrote about things like "Divine Mind" or "Universal Spirit"
It was written very brilliantly so it wasn't your average Hindu saint or new age author.
I'm guessing it was an older (18th century) German Philosopher.
Any ideas?

Why did wrestling become so big in turkic and mongolian cultures?
What does the steppe environment do that stimulates that?

It was big everywhere. I'd be interested to know why it diminished in Europe but it was still very common and well explored by the early renaissance. I guess Pugilism and to a lesser extent fencing took grew to dominate the martial arts scene in Europe too much.
Wrestlings great and take no equipment whatsoever so other than tutelage it's completely free.

It is important to know turks and mongols probably get it from greeks. Also greeks were homo they did it naked.

Was he responsible for the young senators killing Iulius Caesar? Did he influence them while keeping his hands clean? Was he a cunning manipulator?

Cicero was a man who thought public order was the most important thing. So I think he would rather prefer ceaser left to govern some far away place rather than him getting stabbed by his fellow romans.
>>
>>2069379
Probably not, Cicero was old as fuck back then and at peace with Ceasar (Cicero was present in Pompey's camp during battle of Pharsalus, but Ceasar forgave him and treated him with utmost respect). Cicero was mostly focused on writing philosophical works serving as a mean of consolation for his daughter's death. He kept away from politics during Ceasar's reign. He only came back to it when he wanted to slander Marc Anthony, which ended badly for him.
>>
>>2069381
>>2069394
Thank you for your insight, I forgot that he was already pretty old by then. Ifind it fascinating that he didn't interfere with Ceaser by the time he was dictator yet completely changed his approach when Marcus Antonius came into power.
What must Antonius have done to him for making Cicero so angry and making him write those Philippicae. It's almost amusing reading those speeches.

Are there any decent, non biased places online to research Christianity and the Bible without them trying to convert me? It's pretty hard to learn about this stuff when they think it's real.

Yale Online offers a free New Testament Hist-Crit lecture course by Dale Martin. I think it's on YouTube. Probably the best option besides enrollment in a university.
Also, pick up Diarmaid MacCulloch's magnum opus "A History of Christianity" for a great read into the history of the religion.
That is a good Bible-Christianity combo for someone who doesn't want to make a career out of it.

What kind of research do you have in mind? Just read the Bible and other stuff by yourself, google some shit you're not sure of and there you have it

I heard that it wasn't until roman times did Jews start to really be monotheistic, that the commandment to 'have no other Gods before me' meant that Yahweh was to be god #1 above all those other gods, whom the Jews also worshiped.
Or is it that the religious Jews were monotheistic, but the everyday pleb jew worshiped whatever?

I think philosophy is interesting and I'd like to learn more, but how do I know what to think when philosophers 10x smarter than me and with more interest and depth of knowledge than I'll realistically ever have can't agree on anything?

Images at sum up an era
In the foreground, the densely-packed, soot-saturated workers' neighborhood, with tiny windows (to evade the window-tax), and cramped courtyards to hang laundry, etc: overcrowded, gloomy, and miserable.
In the background, that shockingly-modern miracle of transportation, the train, that whisks the middle- and upper-classes across the country in a matter of hours. (you can almost imagine zooming in to the luxury dining car, where top-hatted and high-collared Victorian travelers are enjoying a glass of sherry.)
The train literally speeds by above the working-class--it seems oblivious to the common peoples' misery below.

It ruined trains for me when I found out that the ability to travel from one train car to another while the train was in motion was only developed in like the 20s.
Like, all you need is a central corridor and doors on each end.
Who wants to be stuck in one fucking car for the entire trip.

I have heard Francesco Sforza, Duke of Milan described as one of the greatest military commanders of his age. On one of the threads here he was even described as a "1 in a million commander".
What exactly did the guy do to earn such a title? What made him better than other Condotierri of the time period? Pic related

he just upped and took over an entire city
Like a Boss
>>
>>2068670
How did he do that? And why was that particularly special for the time period? Plenty of people have taken over cities. This makes him one of the greatest?
>>
>>2068693
dunno about the greatest but he was pretty good
Milan through marriage was in inheritance to the HRE, France, and Sforza through marriage
Sforza being the closest to Milan quickly took it over and repelled all the other encroaching forces. Then teamed up with Lorenzo de Medici to make an Italian league that made the peninsula peaceful, protected, and prosperous for quite awhile
Went from peasant to Duke in about a day which was a pretty big deal in Medieval/Renaissance standards

There's always been this East West Divide in Europe. A sort of culture clash seemingly has always been present, at least in my opinion it has. The cultures of eastern and western europe seem very different to me at least to me.
>Byzantines vs HRE and Western Europe
>Russia vs West Europe alot
>Cold War
>Great Schism
It seems like East and West Europe have always been at it. My question is that could Constantine dividing the Roman Empire into East and West have caused this sort of cultural and religious divide throughout the ages?
Thoughts? pic semi related I guess

Russia is the way it is because they were occupied by the Mongols for such a large time, which led to a divergent culture which was a blend of Mongol-Asian culture and European culture, plus some of their own.
Byzantines and
