Then he's a fag, and probably an anglo. Probably one of those "Africa begins at the Pyrenees" types.
I ain't even Greek.
Now, back on topic, i find Bohemia very interesting, and Prague is in my humble opinion the most most beautiful city in Europe.
Maybe it's historically underrated in the minds of normies who only know about WW2, and have maybe heard about the hundred years war.
Jan Hus is in my opinion more important than Martin Luther to the reformation of the Catholic church.

you're vastly cherry picking, op

millions of other white guys die yearly and never reach ninety. you just are focused on them. hundreds of people from their administrations as well have died since then also

>>1970699
its no coincidence that after Nixon no president has died before 93

its no coincidence that after Nixon no president has died of their metastatic cancer, but instead were cured (ie Reagan (colon, prostate, skin), Carter)

it is no coincidence that there is a cancer epidemic in the US and youngins are dying from the same shit that the prez' got cured from

remember that when you do suicide you kill a son
a brother
a friend
a colleague
an employee
and an anon to share good historical discussion with

naturally these characters don't want that

All for primary selfish reasons. The think I'm loosing a brother, I'm loosing a friend... Ect. It's never about they got what they wanted, or they don't have to suffer. People have this ignorant " it will get better" mentality as if they are in fairy tails. Sure people whom get by may think that they were stupid for wanting to end their lives, but that's because they are socialized to ignore and stigmatize their own rationality.

>>1977893
selfish reasons I'm sure, but reasons nonetheless

I mean your own reason for dying maybe justified but what about someone you like decides to suicide?

Because god was invented by camelfucking desert people that didn't want to accept they were going to cease to exist one day and needed something to explain away the rest of the world with.

I'm an atheist and even I know that all religions have an "answer" to this that you can simply google. In short, he gave us free will and abusing it is the source of evil.

Kikero

Well Romans had banks, issued loans, had contracts, utilized credit and charged rent.

Idk why Rome isn't considered capitalism. Other than the mass use of slaves I mean.

>>1981154
By Capitalism, do you mean the individual pursuing financial success?

Smith, I guess

>>1981161
Maybe because it still relied too much on the plantation system and the bawsses invested in labour-intensive ventures rather than capital-intensive ventures.

Probably. The problem is that being smart never impresses anyone because stupid people can't recognize intelligence.

It's better to get a hard skill that you can show people. AKA, STEM. Then when you have a valuable job improving society, you can study all the philosphy you want with your leisure time. You aren't tied into trying to publish stupid shit you don't care about to get funding, or take seriously stupid ideas you don't care about because they're the "prevailing view" or something.

If you decide you have something important to write about, you can publish it on your own time.

>>1980978
t. Philosphy major with a crappy job obviously

I don't like STEM and I'm not good at it. Should I just kill myself?

I worked both days this weekend anyway so I guess I'm going to hell

Can someone explain to me why do some christians celebrate sabbath?

>>1980935
Because Christianity is essentially just fully realized Judaism

Any law from the old testament that Christ himself didn't mention as being irrelevant due to his arrival is still supposed to be observed by Christians

You could argue on that last one that I further the cause by allowing them to kill me, but I don't give a fuck

>>1980152
really made me think

Conservatives all the way. They are the only ones who are ready to do radical stuff like rebuilding the Temple. Reformists are too pussy and too guilt-ridden.

>>1979316

Well, Reform Judaism is certainly older than Conservative Judaism. It was a reaction to the Enlightenment, and essentially an attempt to assimilate into European society while still retaining some degree of Jewishness, often not a very large one.

Conservative Judaism was itself a reaction to Reform Judaism, a sense that too much had been given up in an attempt to merge into society. It's primarily an American phenomenon, I'm not really sure why, but in places like North Africa and most of Europe, you pretty much only have Reform and Orthodox Judaism, Conservative is a tiny, tiny thing.

> which is the legitimate sect?

Neither of them. Orthodox all the way.

>>1979380
Orthodox Jews hate Zionists. They believe Israel is not ready for the Jews and the interlopers have take it over.

>>1978758

At some point in China's history, peasants were prohibited from carrying weapons. This lead to the development of unarmed fighting techniques, particularly among monks who lived far from civilization (and its guards).

>>1978786
Uh, Martial Arts started amongst peasants who did carry weapons prior the short Yongzheng Emperor's Arms ban.

>>1978758
>why
Because the world is dangerous and you're not gonna be always armed.
>when
Prehistory.

As much as I sympathize with Kaczynski his solutions are fucking insane.

If there ever is some worldwide destabilization that leads to a complete collapse of society, there will never, ever be a group of people motivated enough to destroy all industrial technology around the world so that humanity would be unable to recover, it is utter fantasy.

If you agree with Ted's philosophy (if you can call it that), you must also understand, as a rational person, that the technoindustrial system has already won. There is no turning back, there is no chance of victory whatsoever for your cause, so you can either give up and embrace the system or struggle and suffer all your life for a hopeless cause.

>>1977171
Or go innawoods for the rest of your life.

>there will never, ever be a group of people motivated enough to destroy all industrial technology around the world so that humanity would be unable to recover

It's actually more difficult to maintain modern, organization-dependent technology than it is for it to stop being maintained. Many different factors need to be working together even for something as simple and common as a refrigerator to be assembled. What he's proposing isn't that implausible. Industrial society only emerged once and much of the philosophy that fueled this approach to technological development didn't exist prior to the 17th century, so there's good reason to believe if the industrial system were to collapse that there wouldn't necessarily be a new industrial revolution any time soon.
