I do appreciate the reply but I wasn't the original writer.

its less war-prone than it has been in centuries

The most interesting thing that will happen in East Asia is the shifting of alliances and borders. Clinton made a ton of strides towards asian-american relations as secretary of state, and can probably continue that with Vietnam and the like if elected. Along with that, Duterte is going full retard and wiggling his ass at China begging for the dick, so that will change up territorial waters and influential control over Filipino shipping routes.

No war though

Plus the Philippines are vulnerable to China rn

Yes, at least for this faggot who's planning to write a fantasy story based on all the species of human that lived on Earth around 100,000 years ago.

Ahhh yes, quality of life tends to improve quite a lot when your friends and family members are being killed off in the millions.

>Their people are educated, well fed, and well paid
>Except for y'know those few over there starving or being murdered en masse

Yea, that's dumb.

Then you should have no problem with the SJW white genocide.

Not a Jew myself but I have a friend who had a similar upbringing in Australia. You should go contact a local Rabbi, they're apparently very happy to help you learn more about their faith.

You'd probably have better luck asking some time when it's not the Jewish Sabbath in most of the world.

probably to fight each other, they were warlords

I'm not sure how anyone on this board could answer this without making wild claims full of conjecture.

Bad question, OP.

What's with the part of the Arabian Peninsula that doesn't speak arabic?

Uninhabited

It took a very long time after the conquest, and only really intensified in many areas in the 19th century when local identities were finally near-expunged e.g. Copts, Armenians, oasis dwellers etc. Groups that managed to keep their identity to some extent were usually the inheritors of an earlier and more sophisticated society than the bumfuck Arabs who turned up, e.g. Persia was still a very wealthy and culturally prestigious place, Romano-Berber territories still had Roman ruins, Egypt speaks for itself etc. Places like Tunisia, Iraq and Egypt would likely have kept a much less Arabised identity if not for the foundation of new Arab barracks cities such as Tunis, Basra and Cairo. They had much less ties to the ancient pre-Islamic heritage of the area.

>WE WILL BURY YOU

What did he mean by this?

Mahayana Buddhism is corrupted

Look into Theravada instead. It's teaching closely relates to the historical Buddha.

>>1827341
OP here. While Mahayana is certainly interesting due to its cosmology of countless gods and wrathful deities and descriptions of exotic Pure Lands and Boddhisattvas, Theravada is more sound and practical, as well as reasonable.

>>1827299
>How are the Boddhisattva vows even remotely possible to achieve?

I dont know, how is paranirvana possible to achieve?

Mahayana probably is a radical departure from the methods of the historical Buddha, though I dont think its clear Theravada is pure either. I am not even sure that is important to what Buddhism is in the same way Orthodoxy is essential to Christian tradition

Personally I dont believe any of the theology, I just appreciate the history and the psychological benefits of Buddhist practices, and of all the schools I am familiar with, I find esoteric Mahayana Buddhism the most engaging.

If you were a landowning noble in Parthian/Sassanian Persia, you were pretty much a Proto-Knight trained from birth given the existence of feudal cavalry there.

So yes. Better that than some fatshit Italian villa owner.

I always loved that word.

I think they lacked the more advanced infrastructure that would have made a wheel useful. They would have had enough contact with outsiders to adopt it if it were useful.

Btw, why didnt Sub-Saharan Africa ever develop or invent the wheel
It's been a while since we last had this thread

what would you use a wheel for in the fucking jungle?!

Kierkegaard is babby tier normie philosophy read by people who want to look sophisticated and/or are college freshman

Eclecticism just makes the most sense. You should never follow a philosophy for the sake of living up to the idea of that philosophy, you should instead take from each philosophy what suits you and use it to your betterment.

What is faith, in Kierkegaard's view?
