Pseudoscientist and kook, of the sort that have existed since the days of the snake oil salesmen. His "work" has zero (0) scientific merit and he was instrumental in the creation of the modern "New Age" mysticism.

[citation needed]

I like his views on religion. The idea of Gods and Platonic forms as psychological archetypes is spot on.

>>1899774
>considering scientific merit as the sole criteria of worth

Regard thinkers like him and Freud as philosophers and you'll be fine.

Persia's military tactics revolved around the deployment of mass light infantry backed by cav and archers.

Needless to say they were kinda stumped when facing against Greek Hoplites, who were by their very nature a heavy shock infantry force

very carefully

>>1899497
Yeah but the Greeks were a bunch of boy lovers, while the Persians were battle hardened conquerors.

I love him but no. Suleiman has more place being in that list.

The Ottomans were more Roman than the HRE ever was.

Reagan wasn't around then to teach them to pull themselves up by their boot straps.

Basically; the video in the OP is saying

>since we were babies we are being programmed like a computer almost

>build up patterns of thoughts can rule our actions without us consciously thinking about it

>reprogram subconscious mind to overcome opposition of negative thought patterns

In other words, we get so caught up in these reactive states that we aren't even conscious of our own reality

>>1899313
These "programs" are sent to us all day. When we watch the news or mTV, we are being programmed, mind controlled. If you take a teenage girl watching mTV, it is almost guaranteed her personality will reflect a character on one of the shows, and her attitude and focus in life will be on boys, sex, drugs, and drama.

It is no different with us. We watch too many YouTube videos that subliminally send us to hate one religion, before we realize it, we start meme-ing the same information all over the internet. One angry youtuber says something mean about God, everyone jumps on the wagon because the ability to discern is gone, and the reactive process to spout out that other person's idea becomes this other persons action

>Think for example many of the content on websites like this; how often does a place like this cause you to have negative attitudes towards the world, spiritual concepts, people, groups, etc. Feeling sad because people hammer you with insults on your perfectly valid ideas, or looking at threads with these twisted perceptions; all to subliminally try to get you to think a certain way that benefits "them" and does not benefit you. What good comes out of it?

Were you not conditioned to think of these things as negative? Does skepticism not prevent pain?

>Things like reading, exercise, quietly sitting,

Have you not been conditioned to think of these things as positive? How do you know that everyone will benefit from reading, and what is "good" reading?

You could argue that he would've agreed with a lot of the ideas and arguments behind anarcho primitivism, like the corrupting nature of technology.
But IIRC the APs generally argued that agriculture was the root cause of all these problems, whereas Pol had a huge agriculture boner

Outside of teaching and maybe working at museums, there aren't gonna be a whole lot of choices available to you. Your best bet is to probably wait for your Accounting major and focus on getting money and becoming economically stable right now.

The book does mention that they were very brutal and powerful, however they were afflicted with the "curse of femininity" as Herodotus called it. It is wierd that after 100 years they just dissapeared from Dacia without a fight.

It's not an ideology. You may live according to your self interest only because you aren't required to live in the interest of an authority.

Swords as primary weapons rather than sidearms.

Swinging in an upwards figure eight could break apart pike formations, but after they got in there they'd usually drop it and start swinging with an axe or mace. Thats one way people used them atleast, the spanish had ones made for self defense.

Aggressive bullies who expanded their power by enslaving their weaker neighbors. So basically just like every historical empire.

Their biggest mistake was starting a war with the US.

Things seemed to be going well but there were serious political and economic problems that bubbled to the surface after the great depression.
