This probably relates to a few instances in the core Buddhist scriptures.

One of Buddha's early followers was Vaisanga, a man who was almost certainly a kapalika mystic. The following story is in Dhammapada, but we've got fragments of varying detail elsewhere such as the Pali canon and a number of poems attributed to the dude ( http://www.accesstoinsight.org/lib/authors/ireland/wheel417.html ):

Once, in Rajagaha, there was a brahmin by the name of Vangisa, who by simply tapping on the skull of a dead person could tell whether that person was reborn in the world of the devas, or of the human beings, or in one of the four lower worlds (apayas). The brahmins took Vangisa to many villages and people flocked to him and paid him ten, twenty or a hundred to find out from him where their various dead relatives were reborn.

On one occasion, Vangisa and his party came to a place not far from the Jetavana monastery. Seeing those people, who were going to the Buddha, the brahmins invited them to come to Vangisa, who could tell where their relatives had been reborn. But the Buddha's disciples said to them, "Our teacher is one without a rival, he only is the Enlightened One." The brahmins took that statement as a challenge and took Vangisa along with them to the Jetavana monastery to compete with the Buddha. The Buddha, knowing their intention, instructed the Bhikkhus to bring the skulls of a person reborn in niraya, of a person reborn in the animal world, of a person reborn in the human world, of a person reborn in the deva world and also of an Arahat.

The five were then placed in a row. When Vangisa was shown those skulls he could tell where the owners of the first four skulls were reborn, but when he came to the skull of the Arahat, he was at a loss. Then the Buddha said, "Vangisa, don't you know? I do know, where the owner of that skull is." Vangisa then asked the Buddha to let him have the magical incantation (mantra) by which he could thus know; but the Buddha told him that the mantra could be given only to a Bhikkhu. Vangisa then told the brahmins to wait outside the monastery, while he was being taught the mantra. Thus, Vangisa became a Bhikkhu and as a Bhikkhu, he was instructed by the Buddha to contemplate the thirty-two constituents of the body. Vangisa diligently practised meditation as instructed by the Buddha and attained Arahatship within a short time.

Ok, so who were these Skull Tappers….? The best bet is that they were, or a forerunner of, the Kapalikas, who are thought to be one of the wellsprings of the Tantric transmissions.

The Kāpālika tradition was a non-Puranic form of Shaivism in India. The word Kāpālikas is derived from kapāla meaning "skull", and Kāpālikas means the "skull-men". The Kāpālikas traditionally carried a skull-topped trident (khatvanga) and an empty skull as a begging bowl. Other attributes associated with Kāpālikas were that they smeared their body with ashes from the cremation ground, revered the fierce Bhairava form of Shiva, engaged in rituals with blood, meat, alcohol, and sexual fluids.

According to David Lorenzen, there is a paucity of primary sources on Kapalikas, and historical information about them is available from fictional works and other traditions who disparage them. Various Indian texts claim that the Kāpālika drank liquor freely, both for ritual and as a matter of habit. The Chinese pilgrim to India in the 7th century, Hsuan Tsang, in his memoir on what is now northwest Pakistan, wrote about Buddhists living with naked ascetics who cover themselves with ashes and wore bone wreathes on their heads, but Hsuan Tsang does not call them Kapalikas or any particular name. Scholars have interpreted these ascetics variously as Digambara Jains, Pashupatas and Kapalikas.

Mattavilasa Prahasana (Devanagari:मत्तविलासप्रहसन), (English: A Farce of Drunken Sport) is a short one-act Sanskrit play. It is one of the two great one act plays written by Pallava King Mahendravarman I (571– 630CE) in the beginning of the seventh century in Tamil Nadu.

But it wasn't, it was only half their fault.

It was more like 76% Germany's fault.

This topic comes up very often here, but usually the discussion is worthless because every high schooler thinks he knows shit and has to share his non-knowledge. That's the problem with mainstream history topics here, the threads about more obscure stuff are usually better.

Rich dresses were status symbols, they were not seen as feminine. See that iconic painting of Louis XIV with high heels and a 'feminine' outfit, for example.

Does this book meet the 25 year rule?

well, you know something is up when China is building entire cities from scratch and this is considered "fake growth" while developed western democracies sell insurance, debt, and stock options to each other and this is considered "real growth"

>>2070072
I wasn't aware there was such a rule on /his/. I don't mean to break protocol, was just wondering if anyone else had read this or if they felt a similar way.

>>2070098
Yep.

Now, this book was written before Trump, but sometimes I really do wonder if the entire world is basically just resigning itself to ever more unstable and intense forms of capitalist alchemy that China isn't in the end going to come out on top just by reeling it in.

Don't get wrong. Singapore is the answer, and the best look for a culture/civilization anywhere in the world. China's got insane problems of its own. But I do love their philosophy and I honestly don't know what the fuck to think about the West.
