What's up with medieval art? Why's it so crappy looking?
30 posts and 17 images submitted.

Art wasn't a medium of entertainment/outlet of human expression at that time. Everyday life revolved around religion, and artworks were basically only meant to sate the basic need of depictions of the bible and whatnot for the public, especially illiterate serfs & peasantry.

The Italian Renaissance is the de facto next step of the evolution of art. Many artists who focused on proportions, the Fibonacci Sequence, and perspective were surrounded by the rebirth ("Renaissance") of antiquity: the rediscovered works of ancient Greeks, and were influenced by the then-new concepts of geometry.

There were no art schools, just monks going at it, and the result is pretty cool imo, they created unique styles.

I want to become a freemason, build up in ranks my whole life and leave a legacy for my children and their children.

How do i become one?

Can anyone just become one? or do you need a certain privilege?

There are a few requirements, but you mainly have to find two freemasons and get them to vouch for you. And you have to ask to join, they can't ask or recommend it to you.

^This.

Find your local lodge, find the date of their normal meeting, and wait in the parking lot. When people come out, calmly and non-creepy like, ask to speak with the Most Worshipful Master. Explain to him that you don't really know any Freemasons and would like to apply.

That should show some initiative in your part.

Is it fair to make an argument that if it wasn't for The Enlightenment and The Renaissance, world and Europe would currenty look like rural Afghanistan and remote parts of South America?

I am not baiting but I legitimately interested in how accurate these two charts are.

By funding more research into genetics research and CRISPR.

But normalfags are already getting buttmad at that too because they can't cope with the fact that people are merely a consequence of whatever genes they win in the cosmic reincarnation lottery and that free will is a lie.

>understood the limitation of economics as a science and came up with a better way to understand it

This is like saying YEC's understood the limits of accurately dating rocks and have come up with a better way to understand the formation of the Earth.

>>2064587
It's not the same.

>Austrians argue that logical positivism cannot predict or explain human action, and that empirical data itself is insufficient to describe economics, which in turn implies that empirical data cannot falsify economic theory, and that logical positivism is not the proper method of conducting economic science.
>>
That statement might be true for Subjective ToV, but libertarians are through and through believers in Economics as Hard Science.

Economics isn't a science, some of its most fundamental ideas are assumptions, and no one can make even half-decent predictions. Economics is much more about power, and thus about politics, than any economist likes to admit.

But that isn't what Austrian Schoolers believe. They avoid "charts n' sheet" because, often, data clashes with their political ideals.

But avoiding predictions and data isn't the same as recognizing the limits of economics.

Striving to be normal is like saying "Everyone should be white bread"
Sure it's ok in most situations but the differences in the bread is what makes it special

No, as a matter of fact being normal is a bad thing because people are normally morons.
>>
>>2064180
Yes people should strive to be normal. We are inherently different and come from a collection of different experiences. We are already individuals, you dont have to try extra or make a show of it.
If people dont stive to be normal, it becomes a competition on who can be the most unique and edgy. Thats how you get annoying ass people who think they are intersting because they walk around dressed like a mental patient or ask edgy questions like "but why is pedophilia illegal when being gay isnt?"
Being part of a society and having individuality promoted instead of unity is the most retarded thing I have ever experienced.
