Greetings /his/, confused as to the cultural distinction between the ancient religion of Britain and that of ancient Ireland. Are some aspects of these cultures shared before the invasions of Rome? I always mistakenly attributed Boudica to an Irish background. What was ancient Irish culture and religion like, /his/?

Now that we have this out of the way, did this meme empire/country contribute anything to humanity before it allowed others to carve it without any resistance because they realized how shitty their nation was?

So why did we took the dollar off the gold standard and was it the greatest mistake we've ever done?
18 posts and 3 images submitted.
>>
>>2042151
Gold neither pays an interest nor does it give dividends.

>>2042142
You had to, you where near bankrupt and couldn't refinance. No, there is not much benefit to base a currency on Gold, besides being rare it has not much use. Think of money as a token for work, you get money for your work and can transfer it into other peoples work if you like to.

Then, in a high inflation economy with a government such as unpredictable as the current Turkish one, it might be wiser to be long in gold.

What is the difference between YHWH, El, El-Shaddai, and Elohim?
12 posts and 1 images submitted.
>>
>>2041728
YHWH according to the bible is Elohim's proper actual name. Like how your name isn't anon, it's Jim or something.

The rest are basically just titles, like "the lord" or "the father" as we'd use in English.
>>
>>2041742
Thanks

So what's up with other gods in the region called El? Was it just because they used the same semitic word for their local god?
>>
>>2041791
Probably a combination of local linguistic similarities and Judaism having roots in local pre-Abrahamic religion.

There's a great Foucault quote about how the many states of the Holy Roman Empire were used as a 'laboratory' to develop the template for european modernity, and how as its consequence the united Germany became compelled to take the role of Europe's leader. It is almost spooky how well his exact wording described Merkel's Germany in the EU.

Because they didn't want regular people to read it for themselves, only elites and church members. They wanted to be able to censor inconvenient parts and add on a lot of bullshit.

What you need is commitment and reason. Attempts to spread things like Lojban, Esperanto, etc. have all failed because there was no cultural incentive to adopt. It was a zero sum game and most people would rather not learn a new language and rely on others doing the same.

Your best bet would be to create conlang people are passionate about. Something fueled by a fictional universe. There's no shortage of geeks who learn Tolkein's Qenya, or the language from Avatar, or Dothraki.

As a fiction-writer I've wanted for some time to develop a con lang but work/school keep leaving me with too little time. I've thought about this a lot.

The best I ever came up is a couple of systems of fictional digits. That was fun.

Let's say that you can push one button and erase someone from existence. Because of magic, nobody remembers or misses them, and any good or bad they did in their life magically happens anyways without anyone questioning it.

Q1: Is it immoral to push the button?

Q2: same as above, but an entire civilization is erased. Now is it immoral?

Something about this feels off; this is why I can't totally buy into utilitarianism.

You seem to be under the false assumption that utilitarians believe existence is good.
>>
>>2041564

No. I'm saying that they don't believe existence is inherently good, and that's why I don't completely agree with them.
>>
>>2041556
It isn't if those persons are Franz Josef or Wilhelm II. Or Gengis-khan. As for civilizations, erasing the Mongols would be an ethical act.
