Redpill me on game theory. is it argle bargle or foofaraw?
It's just a theory.
It is just decision mathematics.
It attracts huxters and charlatans because it makes them look smart and powerful like in that pic, but really their understanding of things is basic at best.

Let's talk about the role of the powerful secret societies in history. How much of their influence is a meme and how much isn't? What are some least known secret societies of history?
>>1884813
Wasn't it recently revealed that Worst Korea is ruled by secret society?
>>1884826
Clubs and groups in general played a far more important role for humanity than nowadays. Its not ridiculous that some members of the same group would work together to achieve certain goals.
The American revolution was led and instigator by a group of masons. The Founding Fathers were masons.
Why did the Roman Empire change dominant religions so many times?
>the roman empire
huh
Really
made me think
....
Stupid bait but interesting question. Might have something to do with their retarded insistence on deifying emperors. No-one could take that shit seriously for long.
>>1884910
That was only taking a cue from basically every other major empire in the east, though. God-kings was nothing special with Rome.

Why was he so fucking edgy?
He didn't despise the weak - just the institutionalised forms that served to reproduce their servitude.
He didn't laugh gleefully as the wolf tore into the sheep - he raged at the shepherd who'd bred them to be sitting ducks
>>1884883
Good post.
>>1884883
Not bad, my anon friend
Not bad
What the fuck was his problem?
>>1884730
He just tried to purge degeneracy from streets.
>>1884730
He was a jewish butcher.
>>1884730
He just wanted to get rid of the whores. is that so much to ask?
Isn't St. Joseph a literal cuckold?
>>1884711
God gave him the task of raising his fucking son, not sure that qualifies as cuckoldry. On top of that his other son, Jakob, became a prominent politician.
>>1884711
No sex was involved. No. And a visit from Gabriel convinced him not to divorce Mary, or have her killed.
Cuckolded by God. Wish i had the honor.
i hate history. why?
Because it's so bullshit. It's just propaganda, and the history we learn isn't even history, it's basically - World war 1,2 cold war, french revolution, our society now, what might happen if the world continues like now ....
Also, how come we don't learn about the history of Asia, africa and south america, (excluding aztec and maya). I'm pretty sure at some points arab were the strongest superpower in the world, so was the mongols, and so was the persians. And the continent of Africa that has wonders. How come none of that is mentioned, could it be that somebody, somewhere doesn't want people knowing that not just the whiteman is intelligent and open-minded?
Every year, the schools has the same shit over and over and over again. We've come to the point where basically it's all about knowing dates and names, and you're good to go. And what is even the point of the subject? It's just propaganda bullshit, Napoleon, stalin and hitler are all enemies of the states, and the states and their small minions overwhelm the europeans.
Hitler is wrong? The states are for our freedom? I'm not sure which is right and which is wrong, nor that i care, all i know is that the winners write history, and i don't get why people major in history, like if you're going to take a major you need atleast to know this shit, and if you still go ahead and major in history meanwhile knowing this, i'm not sure what to say..

or maybe we're all not in secondary/highschool and you can study all of these independtly
VERY euphoric thread my friend
so from 6 years old to 18/19 people mostly learn about 4 happening, and the rest of the world is forgotten, is that how it's supposed to be?
>>1884689
people mostly don't learn anything, if you like history you'll study it outside of your history class
why are you trying so hard to be profound?
this is pretty simple
is the Unites States a democracy?
if so, how can you justify the fact that even if the majority of citizens vote for one candidate (e.g. populist support for trump), the opposing candidate can still win (e.g. hillary's bribed electoral college)
>>1884619
It's a Republic with some democratic processes.
>f the majority of citizens vote for one candidate (e.g. populist support for trump)
>Trump
>Populist support
>Implying
>the opposing candidate can still win (e.g. hillary's bribed electoral college)
The electoral college has only gone against the will of the popular vote 3 times in US history.
The USA practically has a two-party system. Both are shit. 99% of people vote for one candidate cause they dislike the other more.

True, but there is nothing stopping it from happening
Why is Norse Paganism the go to version of paganism for neo-pagans?
Roman paganism's records are more complete
>>1884459
Because we wuz vikings and sheit
Because Viking Warriors >>>>> Shitty Romans who relied on barbarian i.e. norse tiribes anyway.
>>1884459
Most of neo pagans seem to be Nordicists.
When and how it become uncool to live with your parents? It wasn't like it in ancient times for sure.
there was a glorious time in the past where with only a high school diploma you could afford to rent a good apartment in a decent neighborhood of a large city of your choice while still having enough money left over to be able to save for a down payment for a house...
The rise of consumerism, without a doubt.
>>1884424
Yup.
What was Pol Pot's problem?
Dude was a dick for what seemed like entirely arbitrary reasons. Did he just love the murder?
No, it was just Frantz Fanon's theory taken to it's logical conclusion. Frantz Fanon wanted to destroy capitalism to bring about a Marxist utopia and the liberation of the oppressed in the former colonies, and Pol Pot turned this into destroying the whole of society to free people from capitalist oppression, and starting all over. That's why his take over was called Year Zero, he wanted to restart the whole of society
>>1884371
What's the Fanon connection?
Part of the reason might have been a scorched earth policy. As a warlord from the boonies surrounded by threats on all sides he had little need of Phnom Penh, his mentality was to withdraw to the rural interior and prepare for invasion.
>>1884327
Absolutely nothing :^)
>>1884327
He didn't finish off Red niggers and signed peace treaty from the point of a loser.
Fuck him. It costed Poland another partition 19 years later.
>>1884409
What else could he have done? He had little to no support from other countries. Poland barely managed to rout the Reds at Warsaw.
It wasn't like Ukraine and Lithuania were helping at all. They just wanted their independence. They weren't willing to restore the commonwealth.

According to Oxford biologist Richard Dawkins, “We are machines for propagating DNA, and the propagation of DNA is a self-sustaining process. It is every living object’s sole reason for living.” However, since atheist fertility rates are among the world's lowest, while Muslim fertility rates are the world's highest, it seems that atheism keeps humans from fulfilling their purpose, while Islam helps humans fulfill their purpose. This leads to the odd conclusion that if making copies of DNA is our fundamental purpose, Richard Dawkins should convert to Islam!
>hehe got 'em!
DNA is our soul.
>>1883852
No no, it's that memes are the DNA of the soul.
