I think about metal detecting as a hobby. Anyone into this? Care to share your experiences?
Also, are there some things I can do in case I find something important to help the archeologist's?

French guy, found a number of baïonettes in the fields surrounding my village ( in Picardy, near the Somme ) and I even found a 50 silver marks coin, with the nazi insigna, dating 1938, in a room of the familial castle, which was occupied by german officers during the war

There's no dogma or universal doctrine on this topic. Basically speculation. Some Church fathers promoted the idea of soul sleep, to battle the idea of the pre-existence of souls and gnostic dualism. Human nature includes soul+physicality intimately intertwined, so no judgment until you are physically resurrected. Others disagree...

Why does it matter to you, and why are you being rude (christcucks) in the process?

Tried posting this on /o/ but they were too busy circlejerking to answer my question.

What were the market positions of the four major independents (Nash, Hudson, Studebaker, Packard) in the early 1950s? And let's say George Mason didn't die in 1954 and Studebaker-Packard merged with AMC. What would be the new AMC's model hierarchy, and which of the Big Three makes would be the AMC makes' competition?

In the early 50s, Nash was rising. Same with Studebaker. Hudson was up there, but it was in decline as the Step-Downs were brilliant when first introduced in 1948 but their unibody construction was impossible to update with the yearly trends that were overtaking the American auto industry at the time. Packard was in steep decline; they had fucked their brand identity with stupid decisions after WW2 and were about to lose their market share to Cadillac.

As for your second question, if Mason had survived there wouldn't have been a direct "competition" between AMC and Detroit makes head to head. George Romney followed Mason's plans as much as he could, so you'd have seen about the same things happen. Packard would have obviously been the "luxury" brand, Studebaker might have wound up the performance/midrange one, and Rambler would have taken the lower share instead of Rambler taking the latter two on its own.

AMC thrived until Romney left to run for Governor of Michigan because they didn't actually try to compete with the Big Three. They made compacts and they made them well, so they got to undercut all of Detroit with a product none of them were offering. AMC only started floundering when the new chairman decided he wanted to compete with Detroit head-to-head, which ended horribly. It had also already ruined AMC's pedigree for compacts by the time the oil embargo rolled around, which cost them a lot of business. If Mason lived, he would have probably ensured that particular switch never happened.

>t. someone who appreciates AMC and grieves for what could have been

>>1845254
Also, it was incredible how lucky AMC was with their decision to end big car production in 1957.

>decide to cut the flagship models and go all-in on midsize and compacts in the summer
>people say AMC went insane
>before the year ends the country enters a recession
>the Big Three's 1958 offerings of gaudy chrome-laden barges get put on ice
>AMC's economical smaller cars suddenly get in high demand

Frankly, it was criminal how they managed to squander their reputation for economical cars so damn quickly. Other manufacturers would have killed to have "Our Brand=Saves You Money" implanted in the American consciousness as well as Rambler managed to do with the 1958 model year.

So, Polk (Democrat) gets everything he wanted to do accomplished, then steps down in 1848.

"War hero" Whig, Zachary Taylor, gets elected, but dies just a year into his term. His VP, Millard Fillmore, becomes President and basically betrays all Whig ideals.

Fillmore allowed the 1850 Compromise to pass, pissing everyone off (allowing slave masters to go North to catch their slaves, in return for California to enter the Union as a new "free" state).

So, the Whigs were subsequently divided. A Democratic alcoholic, Franklin Pierce, won the next presidential election. He was also considered a shit President.

Pierce had to decide what to do with the territories of Kansas and Nebraska. He decided to let them PICK whether or not they'd be slave states. This pissed off abolitionists, and allowed for the birth of the Republican party.

At the next presidential election in 1856, the race was three-way. Buchanan, the pro-"let the states decide on slavery" Democrat, the "muh abolition" Republican John Frémont and the Trump v1.0 anti-immigration "Know-Nothing Party." Buchanan won.

Buchanan's presidency is known as a succession of him shitting the bed and failing to be decisive. Thus: Civil War in 1861 after Republicans actually get in office.

I'm genuinely curious, why have Jews been so hated throughout history? It seems like everywhere they went the inhabitants grew to despise them. Arabs, Romans, Europeans and even the British grew tired of them. Why?

How does the concept of an afterlife even make sense at this point?

Don't we all agree that personality and memories are correlated with the brain? If so, isn't it the case that you are actually a slightly different person at each moment?

We all know that people change hugely throughout their lives. They really become different people. Especially when something affects their physical brain, like a disease or a drug.

So in the afterlife, which one are you? And if you're just some "other" part like a soul, why identify with it? You wouldn't even remember who you were. So how is that "you"?

This is why rich techies believe in the simulation hypothesis

Which is retarded, but compatible with technology. The trilemma doesn't even make sense.
>>
>>1845092
I still don't get it, to be honest. It seems like bad philosophy to identify too closely with any past or future version of yourself.

What I'm saying is, we are all constantly dying and being replaced by something slightly different! Going to sleep is going to "your" death. So is hitting your head on something.

Fear of "death" is really just a glimpse of how weird things actually are. People afraid of "death" should actually be in constant cosmic horror.

One possibility is that the brain is just a receiver for a soul or mind. I don't buy it myself, but it's a possibility that I can't refute.

>the phalanx, a formation known to perform badly on uneven ground and which depends on the suppression of individual impulses in favor of collectivist coordination, was developed in a region famous for its rough terrain by a culture who revered endlessly the individual heroism of figures in the Iliad, mythology, etc.

>the longbow, a variant of the bow, a weapon known to dislike wet weather, was developed and trained with by a people inhabiting an infamously wet island

At least for the hoplite and phalanx thing, it's because the origin of post-Mycenean Greek warfare was HEAVILY ritualized. Not to say that people weren't killed (hell, a lot of people were killed) but they weren't fighting in the sort of total war mindset you saw by say, the Peloponeasean war, where the phalanx system was starting to fall apart, be replaced by more flexible combined arms approaches.
