>yfw you realize that societies can't "collapse" in a meaningful sense if they have civilized neighbors preparing to capitalize on state failure to extend control
>yfw you realize that the modern problem of failed states is due to the international norm against colonialism

can you elaborate how our civilization is collapsing?

>>1737365
Every civilization has collapsed. It doesn't matter if it is or is not.

thanks for the cringe

they're also not capable of getting their own food/water/taking care of their hygiene on their own. They're totally reliant on authority for their every need.

Not free.

So then go learn about the history from any of the infinite sources available to you and come back when you have something to actually discuss.

Early forms of kenjutsu were generally practiced with bokken and lacked any sort of systematized sparring. Kenjutsu, and ther other weapon arts were practiced through two man kata.

This state of affairs continued into the edo era, however after a few peaceful generations some felt that the sword schools had lost their edge with the lack of warfare and duels with live blades legally restricted.

some schools made improvements to the shinai, or bamboo sword and fashioned crude armor for sparring and other drills. While conservatives decried this as an unrealistic form of training, its dynamic nature made it very popular.

As Japan entered the late edo period shinai kenjutsu had become dominate, and men trained in the method occupied many positions in the militias of the bakumatsu. With the rise of Meiji however swordsmenship entered a decline. Those schools that survived tended to follow the government push for standardization and modernization. The differences between the various schools were minimized and a standardized kata set replaced the different kata practiced by older styles.

after WWII kendo was revived under the kendo reimei which increased the trend of sportification and spiritual development which began in Meiji.

He was pretty sexually depraved, but I don't think he knew what the fuck was going on most of the time.

Why did the nuns cremate the remains? Cremation was prohibited by the RCC until Vatican II

What is meant by "fallen women?" You mean, like, apostates?

>>1736950

No, it means unmarried mothers.

That's a handsome gorilla. I want him to fuck me.

He was raised a christcuck, his realization that meaning is not absolute was shocking to him and apparently caused him nausea. This is the same reason Nietzsche had such an extreme reaction to the same realization, his christian faith was ripped out from under him, causing a mental shock.

On a purely personal note, I was raised by completely godless parents and always found ideas like nihilism and absurdism trivially obvious. This isn't because I have a stronger mind than Sartre or Nietzsche, it's because I wasn't burdened with the same payload of false ideas that I was forced to jettison.

Apart from the fedora shit at the end, this post is pretty good
Happened to me in 9th grade, realized I was gonna die and have to face nothingness and I threw up

Also I know Aristotle raised similar points, but not in terms of always existing vs. not always existing (since Aristotle did not believe the universe was created, but always was, it's just that it was *moved* by God).

>>1736366
>Wouldn't something that always existed, be immutable (since there is nothing else to make it change but itself)?

No, that doesn't follow at all.

>things which did not always exist, their very existence would be mutable

Nope, you can change matter into energy and vice versa but you can't "unmake" it. It's character is mutable, but it's existence isn't.

>unless they exist of their own volition (they willed themselves into existence

Logically impossible.

>wouldn't there have to be some source of their movement?

Yes, it's called "the big bang".

>>1736409
The big bang is a mutable occurrence, though. Unless you believe spontaneous movement can occur (in which case we can throw out Newton's First law), something else would have to have set it in motion.

If that's true why did philosophy not stop at the presocratics?

Philosophy was concluded by Descartes. Everything since then has been nothing but pointless circlejerking.

> Philosophy is dead and should stop being studied.
So is math, because for any set of axioms there is true statement that can't be decided in it.

>>1735963
god is like the sun whose warmth falls on everyone, believers and unbelievers alike. after death this warmth is removed and the soul itself is judged.

>If we were to take that interpretation of hell as accurate, how would it be any different from ordinary life for atheists?

Atheists are perfectly able to reach and perceive God, they are just unwilling to. The difference between hell and everyday for an atheist, is that in hell the atheist has been stripped of his delusions and now ACTUALLY cannot reach or perceive God.

It's the equivalent of one of those bitches that's always cold complaining about how "there's no heat in here the air-conditioning is too high" being dumped into an environment where the temperature is absolute zero and there actually is no heat there.

>>1735982
How exactly does that "warmth" affect individuals?

Grazing pen. The Empire deserves recognition for its role in Eurasian trade routes but little else. That map is more an 'area of where mongols fucked shit up and left'

They may leave behind a weak khanate in these uninhabited flat lands but little else.

If you want an empire that developed its conquests, look to Rome.

It was split into different Khanates that would intermix the local cultures with the one of the Mongols. Each then ruled by one of Genghis sons that would pretty much establish a dynasty in that region.

What people don't seem to understand about Tengrism is that it is a very flexible religion that allows the worship of other religions cause Mongols consider it as "another form of Tengri".
The only thing they had a real problem with was halal slaughter which Genghis himself considered a disgusting practice and would put the death penalty on anyone doing it.
This of course changed when the fragmentation started and the ilkhanate gradually became muslim with the Golden Horde.
