The priests of Amen in Thebes was becoming extremely powerful, undermining royal power. it was likely to be in part at least an attempt to take away their power

>>1754646

He was a religious zealot first and foremost, the fact that his reforms removed power from his rivals was a happy accident, he would have tried to covert is country to Atenism even if doing so somehow strengthened the priests (if they all just converted em-mass or something)

he got infected by thoughtvirus of ancient alien squid planet eaters from the inner space and become their channeling tool.

Anti-natalists should kill themselves.

Otherwise, they're just being edgelords.

Why, no matter what society you live in, can peace only be achieved through non-peaceful means.

Generic, but yeah.

>>1754486
Are we humans peaceful by nature? Is war just another by-product of competitive behavior?

War is typically the result of one of three things

Rational Calculation; the state sees resources or political advantage and uses armed force as a gambit to improve their situation.

This typically takes the form of the very powerful states dividing the world among themselves and taking from less powerful societies. It is rarely worthwhile for a state to go to war if the outcome is not nearly certain. Example: Anglo-Zanzibar War

Irrational calculation; this takes either the form of nationalist rage, or more commonly an inflated view of military capability and diplomatic security, caused by a dysfunctional foreign policy apparatus. This is what causes the majority of major inter-state conflicts. Example: 2003 Iraq Invasion

Distraction; the leadership of a society uses a conflict in a calculated ploy to gain domestic political support. A common theme in these conflicts is that the conflict has little potential to destroy the leadership or the society, and is often intractable by design. Example: Falklands War

Note that these models only explain the beginning of a war, that is, the initial attack. When attacked, it is nearly always in the best interests of a society to respond with force.

Rational war, especially economically motivated war, has become less common as the international consequences of aggressive warfare have become more severe.

Irrational calculation will continue as long as governments are incompetent, but is particularly common in nationalist societies, and in autocratic governments.

Distraction wars are typically an extension of domestic political instability, most often where a government is chronically, structurally unable to meet the demands of a population, often in a kleptocracy society or in the developing world.

Collective security arrangements can make all of these types less common, but as long as one society wishes to start a war, a war is inevitable.

The divine quest of Spain was to remove kebab but french perfidity and austrian petty squabbles interrupted this noble cause. The second Spain rejected it's nature and started getting into trouble in Europe, demise came, and even victories only brought more and more problems.

Get Bertrand Russels book, its a great starting point.

>>1754239
Read Spinoza's Ethics.

Aside from that. Just read books that philosophers have written. Aristotle, Descartes, Plato, Kant, Spinoza, Nietzsche. They all say very different things. Think about what they say. You don't have to make decisions. Just think about it.

>>1754254
Yes this is a good recommendation.

Even so, don't blindly believe anything. Russel is a brilliant philosopher but his words must be tested just like anyone else's.

It's a British ploy to divide and weaken Europe. Notice how all those European countries like Frnce have to follow Brussels but Britiain suspiciously doesn't. It's too obvious not to see that that's a British puppet.

>romans
>tolerant ovf other religions
So thats why they razed the Second Temple of David Khan and the local Christians turned it into a garbage zone before the righteous Muslims came and restored it to glory?

And don't get me started when they created the meme of christianity and started to persecute any pagan not following it by destroying their temples or just out killing them.

was he anti-hitler or just using his death as a means to an end of the war?

Seems like he was mostly just doing it for peace and possibly revenge of the aristocracy.

Argentinians kicked British invasions..

Sounds retarded to me for several reasons. First, brits didn't choose their colonies based on the weather, that's so silly it almost doesn't deserve a reply. Second, its not like British humans are different from others, they don't need to terraform to move

Honestly difficult to even address this question because it's so dumb

>>1753045
I'm not saying I agree with it, I was just wondering if anybody would have a source on how the British would of had an effect on Indian environment

>If someone says something is bad because it is "unnatural", how do I debunk them?
This isn't about finding out the true meaning of a word. It's about dominance, isn't it?

>>1752916
The entire point of debate and argument isn't to convince the other person, but to win a battle of intellect and wit. So yes, dominance.

>>1752907
hello gorillaposter
I just finished a philosophy exam so I'll help you out
"natural = good/bad" is not an argument on its own, but you can say that become something is "natural" it is the predictable course of an agent's behavior. ex. a dog barks and pisses on things. trying to stop a dog from doing these things is "unnatural" and probably disadvantageous to the dog, like trying to push the hands of a clock in the opposite direction, because it's native mechanism makes it do these things.

for humans the same principle applies, but humans "naturally" create and innovate things and live in complex social orders. "unnatural" behavior is, more aptly, suppressing the *unique* tasks carried out by men. it's okay to suppress sex, eating, shitting, sleeping, hygiene, etc because other animals do these and they're subordinate to social creativity, the prime function of man.

BTFO during and after the great depression and haven't really been relevant since. Rather than turning to empiricism they decided to prax out their own fantasy world so internet libertarians loved them.
