Hello newfriend

Like >>1892288 pointed out your not that intelligent.
Also I am not so certain that intelligence has to do with believing in a God. But once you learn more and more, it becomes more difficult to do so.

>still thinking that it can be a protestant-catholic reconciliation
Sorry, that won't happen at all.. And Obama I won't do it.
True, Obama I, our dear current pope is popular, because of...reasons. One reason is that he hasn't the same hardon for homophobia as his predecessors Carl the Cuck II (with his gf Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu) and Palpatine XVI.
But it's the same old, same old being always perfect, being in a constant mode of crisis since Garibaldi brought an end to the Papal States and so on. Who the fuck wants to have anything to do with them?

>tfw dub of dubs confirm
Here's an interesting little chart. As you can see, the differences are too great to disregard. If you're not a catholic.
Because the catholics are masters of hand-waving away hard issues. No wonder why catholic countries such as the Failipines, Failzil, Failgentina, Failxico and Failatemala are lagging behind in STEM*. They are such failures that if it wasn't for failslam, they had to invent it in order to feel better.
Catholicism is like a long wet fart of darkness and silence, all it takes is a little light or a little sound or a little opening of a window in order to ruin it all.
*) Male STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), not female STEM (Selfies, Twittering, Eating and Man-hating).

>tfw papists are still buttblasted
Wanna blast your butts a bit more?
Read R. Scott Bakkers books? There's three magic systems there: Gnosis, Anagogic and
Pshûke.
>Skill in the Gnosis relies on intellect and purity of meaning, while the Anagogis relies on creative metaphors and the Psûkhe relies on raw emotion. Gnostic sorcery usually takes the form of geometric shapes.
Pshûke can be disregarded because it's so weak. So does Gnosis and Anagogic reminds you of anything? Intellect and purity of meaning vs creative metaphors.

Alright, with the way the world is going, I'm going to end up in the military eventually, so I figured I may as well prepare diligently.
Fuck being enlisted, what are some good books on military strategy/theory?

Why did he re-route 2 SS Panzer divisions away from army group center's defense of east berlin to Czechoslovakia, thinking the red army was going to stop their offensive there? How the fuck did he think their goal was Czechoslovakia?

I can't even imagine how awful pre xxi century wars were
After doing sport you just want to go home shower, drink water and sleep
Now think that you are in the middle of russia and you have no clean clothes (it's all wet), it's -10ºc, your food consists on shitty soup and the best of all: you have a sargeant telling you that if you leave your trenche when the russians tanks come he will beat you
or being in lybia at 50ºc and almost no water and your sargeants drinks the last bottle of water "because he is a sargeant" and you are starting to have a heat stroke but you know you still need to walk 15km back to base (but if you leave behind your helmet and machinegun you will be beaten)

OP, you made a pretty uncontroversial statement "lmao wow being a soldier before the 21st century must suck!" And giving a few random hypothetical scenarios of how war sucked (instead of picking from the thousands of real accounts of how war sucked).
What sort of groundbreaking discussion were you expecting? "No it didn't"? The OP was a shit prompt for discussion.

Probably all I'm going to get are meme responses because of all the ottoman shilling here but i just recently realised this and it was somewhat eye opening.
Mozart wrote at least at least two pieces of music influenced by Ottoman Empire at the time.
One is the Turkish March : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWYmUZTYE78
Other is Il Seraglio : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvefmK6LNwc
It shows how influential the Ottoman Empire was at the time.
I dont like comparing past to today as its never really proper but it was basically like how USA is today. Those pieces of music would be like Hotel California of today except more significant because Mozart has certainly stood the test of time.
Before realising this Ottoman Empire was just another empire that conquered this conquered that lost this battle and fell because of this etc etc...
But there was a time where people lived with that Empire as reality on their doorstep. It must have even looked impressive to them to have composed music influenced by it.
Also I think influencing Mozart to write a timeless piece is way more impressive feat than conquering any city. It requires a kind of power that you cant simply acquire with siege engines and swords.

the effects of Ottoman rule still persist today and have defined the region.
It exists as much as much as Rome and Classical Greece exists for many.

In Aristotle's work, "catharsis" (purgation) is about giving the passions an outlet. In Orthodoxy, catharsis means conquering the passions, instead of appeasing them. Only then can the true you be found, for before then, you are not a unified will, thought or desire, but a sea and manifold of wills, thoughts and desires, all in dissonance and struggling with no cohesion against each other.

Aristotle is the right one here. Mind will always be context dependent entity so to seek existence as unified will is to seek literal death.

Why should the "you" necessarily be a single unified will, and not the emergent totality of an existence?
