>There exist various forms of Schizophrenia.
This.
And various forms of experiencing psychosis, which by the way doesn't have to be from schizophrenia, it can also happen with bipolar disorder. I have most likely the latter, and mostly experienced delusions, very few if any hallucinations.
>>
>>1987886
No. I don't even have auditory hallucinations at all.
By far the worse part, at least for me, is the negative symptoms, just because the facial and verbal expression problems make getting on the good side of people very, very difficult. People treat you like garbage when you seem crazy. And there's no faking normal. That's the worst thing, the fear and stigma of others.
Also the negative symptoms make getting up and out and living life hard. I could deal with the positive symptoms just fine on my own. The visual hallucinations are a minor inconvenience. The "delusions" and "paranoia" are a matter of opinion, I feel. I don't think wealthy Western doctors with liberal worldviews have the necessary personal background or intellectual daring to be in a position to accurately gauge the problems with society or the dangers someone of a lower socioeconomic stratum such as myself might face.

Qing China. Although there it was government mandate rather than a fashion branded on the public memory. Same deal for Best Korea

Victorians or the Chinese.
Chinese were pretty good at getting people to dress how their elite did. They even got the Mongol Empire to become Qinboos

fraud? conceptual artist with intellectual merit? Which is it?
Should visual art be combined with conceptualism or is that question flawed logic?

it's action painting, very hardcore branch of expressionism
the whole idea is that you should pay attention to the act of painting itself rather than resulting work

that sounds like a meme dude
lets look at pollock in the context of his time. he scribbled a bunch of paint on a canvas, but somehow he was the first person to make a very lucrative career of it.
>Then now, I said, you will understand what our object was in selecting our soldiers, and educating them in music and gymnastic; we were contriving influences which would prepare them to take the dye of the laws in perfection, and the colour of their opinion about dangers and of every other opinion was to be indelibly fixed by their nurture and training, not to be washed away by such potent lyes as pleasure --mightier agent far in washing the soul than any soda or lye; or by sorrow, fear, and desire, the mightiest of all other solvents. And this sort of universal saving power of true opinion in conformity with law about real and false dangers I call and maintain to be courage, unless you disagree.
>But I agree, he replied; for I suppose that you mean to exclude mere uninstructed courage, such as that of a wild beast or of a slave --this, in your opinion, is not the courage which the law ordains, and ought to have another name.
>Most certainly.
>And therefore when any one of these pantomimic gentlemen, who are so clever that they can imitate anything, comes to us, and makes a proposal to exhibit himself and his poetry, we will fall down and worship him as a sweet and holy and wonderful being; but we must also inform him that in our State such as he are not permitted to exist; the law will not allow them.
>But shall our superintendence go no further, and are the poets only to be required by us to express the image of the good in their works, on pain, if they do anything else, of expulsion from our State? Or is the same control to be extended to other artists, and are they also to be prohibited from exhibiting the opposite forms of vice and intemperance and meanness and indecency in sculpture and building and the other creative arts; and is he who cannot conform to this rule of ours to be prevented from practising his art in our State, lest the taste of our citizens be corrupted by him?
>There can be no nobler training than that, he replied.

The name Chimpanzee comes from Bantzu "Ci-mpenzi," which roughly translates to "fake person"
The Latin name, Pan Troglodytes, comes from the word Troglodyte used in Greek myth to describe cave-dwelling humans living in East Africa

I'm not sure. Fun fact, the San realized that humans and primates are related before anyone else, and even made a myth as to why baboons and humans are different now.

Nelson Mandela. Managed to almost bring down apartheid and lead an entire movement from within a jail cell. He then inconveniently died in that cell and Thabo Mbeki took all the credit

If Hitler's authoritarianism and need for control are what caused his decision to invade Russia and the subsequent crushing loss, why doesn't the exact same apply to Joe Stalin?
Why didn't the Russians get punished for being run by a dictator but the Germans did?

So 20mlns dead as a result of his actions isn't punishment enough?

Germany got "punished" because Germany lost. USSR won. There's nothing moral to this.

Because it appeals to humankind's base instincts as opposed to thoughtful reflection, which kinda runs against this whole "civilization" thing we've been doing for the last few thousand years
>>
>>1986495
It gives seemingly simple solutions about complex problems and it doesnt get its approval due the sophistication and arguments of the politician but from the simple-mindness of the common people.
Populist know that the common people dont care about facts or long-term solutions. They want le manly men who just does his shit without caring about the subject.
Populist demand walls to be built to keep illegals out despite the wall being fucking expensive. And they demamd the country the illegals come from to build the wall despite it being the third largest trading partner. And they demand a wall at all despite the fact that about 75% of the illegals arent fucking stereotypical borderhoppers but people who just overstayed their work visa making the wall useless to begin with

People often joke that slavs never contributed anything, but that's wrong.
Unlike German inventions in which majority of them came from German Jews, Slavs actually contributed important things.

Why were suits so common in the late 19th and first half of the 20th century? They seemed to be worn all the time and by people of all cultures, was there a reason?

Clothing used to be extremely expensive, most people only had literally only one or two outfits, one for day to day life and the other one for Sunday church/special occasion, and that was that. Shoes also used to out of the reach for most poor people which is why up until even the 1950s poor children used to run around barefoot all day. They literally couldn't afford shoes.
Cheap, affordable clothing that meant that even working class first worlders could afford dozens of shirts, pants, shoes and so on only started appearing in the 1960s and 1970s. Prior to that only very rich had dozens of anything.

What has studying history taught you about humanity? Not necessarily what you think is objectively right, but what you've learned.
I have learned that we aren't as far from animals as we'd like to be. Our natural states and proclivities encourage things like rape, murder and banditry, and civilization is the conscious moving away from our natural state. But we're all a week of being without food to revert to our natural state, and we as a species have gone up and down on the scale of civilization, more pronounced in some regions than others.
I've also learned that power is best divested to local authorities, but quality of life improves the larger the net of trade is.
Also, historical sources have to be seen with the same skepticism and assumption of bias as modern media sources.

I mean all you have written there is what I "learned" when I first read Thomas Hobbes when I was 17. It's edgy as fuck but not true at all.
