Shit I don't know why I typed that, pls ignore that.

Creating a common point of view, a language, a common interpretation of the reality are the bases for culture and society. Of course, every culture has to believe that its own point of view is the only rational point of view. This scheme is never questioned or it won't be strong enough to make people together. You have to believe that you are right and the other are wrong, or your beliefs won't be effective when you'll have to use them to make choices (I'm talking of ethics and moral).

So, you need to have a point of view, a strong one, to live in society, but often people are not sensible enough to understand that morals are point of view and not reality.

that's my opinion

>would it be better to hold an apathetic and indifferent attitude towards ideas and concepts, especially your own?

as opposed to what? why would it better? what are you hoping to accomplish?

>Would this kind of thinking prevent conflict

yes

>and lead to self-growth?

not likely

Ruined by a crusade and then later conquered by the Turks? Nah, I don't think it's likely.

It first has to be like Rome before ending up like it.

>>1829960
Oyvey, well could the US end up like the Western Empire?

It's so surreal to even imagine Greek influence being that prevalent as far away as the Hindu Kush and beyond.

Too bad Buddhism didn't spread to the western greeks. Buddhism has a way of accommodating local polytheism, Alexander's brotherhood of man almost came true.

Only Mahayana.

Okay this map of Brest Litovsk may be bullshit but you get the picture.

Why would France and Britain accept it?

>>1829844

Because France lost a bit of territory.

And because they were worried about the many German troops bound to return from the East.

>seems like it would have been way easier to spend all his resources conquering someplace in africa instead of trying to take on modern militaries right next door
Because all of Africa was owned by those modern militaries right next door, you dumb cuck.

>>1829804
they would not have gone to complete and total war with germany over them.

they'd spend some effort trying to defend them sure, but they wouldnt be worth millions of men

>>1829800
Every place in Africa was already conquered by a Western power. If he wanted to conquer somewhere in Africa to wipe out blacks, he'd still have to fight the French and British anyway.

The second chart can be explained easily. Napoleon conquered countries like Prussia and Austria and made them his allies.

Don't quote me on this but I believe it's to do with location.

On flag boards, I always see anglosphere countries and countries that have been influenced by anglos use 17th, 18th, 19th when listing centuries.

However, European countries seem to use Roman numerals for centuries, especially France.

French here, we use Roman numerals.

Would the ice age continue or would it somehow end without the sea levels rising considerably?

>What would history have been like if the land that was Doggerland remained above the sea throughout all of this time?
>How would this have changed things like the Roman conquests, WWI and WWII?

You realize how absurd these questions are, assuming you want a even vaguely realistic answer? Nothing would have been the same

There are.

The forces that keep you imprisoned in your immanence.

>>1829637
What's that mean

>>1829647
What keeps you tied down and in bondage to the world and things of the world exclusively, without reference to the whole and the miracle of their being a world in the first place

The 'founder' of my family was a pauper Bedouin who converted to Nicene Christianity and settled in what is now Jordan.

When Napoleon took over the Netherlands, he made people claim surnames so he could keep better records and do more organized tax collecting. The Dutch people thought the idea was ridiculous and would never last, so many of them took joke names because they didn't take the idea of a surname seriously and wanted to fuck with the officials.

So, my last name (like many other Dutch peoples') is a meaningless joke name that my ancestor chose to fuck with a tax collector. I like to think he was a funny guy.
