Used to think just like you anon, but the sin there is arrogance, thinking you have the world so worked out in your limited experience and refusing to have a relationship with your creator.

I'd like to start to read more from ancient philosophers. I've already read a bit from Epicurus and Democritus.
Whose work and in what order would you recommend to me?
>>1726012
Do you know Greek?
If not, learn Greek first.
>>1726020
Can't I just read the translations?
>>1726024
Most translations are quite bad and/or clumsy. Many technically good older translations were made by the educated and for the educated (who would be familiar with the source material anyway) and are less concerned with faithfulness and more with the literary skill of the translator. You will always be reading "Ancient Author as interpreted by Translator" rather than the original.
Some translations can be good and faithful for the most part, but you will be unable to judge this without knowing Greek/Latin. For this particular point, you don't even have to read it in Greek/Latin normally, you could stick to a translation - but it's immensely useful to be able to simply look at the original text if there's some sort of ambiguity in the translated text you're reading.
Basically if you don't know Greek and Latin you are functionally illiterate with regard to the foundations of Western thought.
Racial relations, or tribalism in general , is a prisoner's dilemma problem.
It only makes sense for a group of people to give up tribalism if all other groups also give up tribalism.
It makes sense for a group of people to believe that relations with another group of people are cordial and to bear them no ill will or suspicion if race relations genuinely are cordial and the other group bears them negligible ill will and suspicion.
Thoughts?
What answer do modern, progressive liberals have for this other than acting against your self interest and hoping that in effect the other group will in enough time show you mercy and suffering until that time comes?

>What answer do modern, progressive liberals have for this other than acting against your self interest and hoping that in effect the other group will in enough time show you mercy and suffering until that time comes?
I'm a modern, progressive liberal and I don't think we should give up tribalism, I don't even think it is possible for a human to give up tribalism.
>>1725995
that is in effect what is being called for when people call for no borders and say that people who call themselves refugees and want to live in a country should be provided for simply because htey are human beings.
If you don't agree with either of these things then you aren't what I'm referring to.
I'm talking about the kind of progressive lefties you find on college and university campuses and who write for huffington post, salon, guardian comment is free, the guardian, slate, vox, etc.
It is also in someone's self-interest to hire a black guy for lower wages instead of an equally qualified white guy despite the klan encouraging him not to. So there is an internal prisoner's dilemma among the dominant race.
There is much to be said for Ayn Rand's brand of uncompromising individualism. The collectivists imagine a utopia where everyone cooperates, but in reality you get a situation where ordinary people are spooked into choosing "cooperate" while the leadership secretly chooses "defect" and covers it up. If everyone chose "defect" by default then any group that forms would have to be transparent and prove they are choosing "cooperate", vastly reducing corruption and ironically fostering better and more cooperation.
just because you act like an autist doesn't mean you are one

he is more likely to be psychopathe than an autist
>>1726019
No, psychopaths tend to be the opposite of autists, which Napoleon clearly wasn't. Stalin was probably a psychopath, for instance.

Why not just genocide the German tribes and resettle them with true Romans?

Too many Germans, no Julius Caesar around to do to them what he did to Gaul and they became better at confederating then barbarians had been in the past.

No, it's fucking retarded.

What makes France more rebellious than Tawain? What makes Tawain more rebellious than South Korea?

So apparantly abbo's are the "most ancient civilization".
People in the comments on Facebook got triggered when some folks pointed out you need to possess certain shit like agriculture, writing and the sorts to be classified as an actual civilization. Then the masses of virtue signallers went on to say "according to YOUR definition, racist".
So what is it. Are they a civilization or not?

Why does /pol/ think the rest of the world is as amoral and sociopathic as they are? Is it truly inconceivable to /pol/ that some people actually believe certain things /pol/ disagrees with and merely aren't just "signaling"? Or am I misunderstanding the term?
>>1724817
"Civilisation" means a society that builds cities. Abo's have never built anything even vaguely resembling a city
Why did he allowed Christianity?
>>1724795
Because he needed a unifying monotheism to fight the Sassanid Empire and because painting the Chi-Rho on his troops' shields helped him win a battle.
Because he hated science and minorities.

The other day I was looking up minority populations in the US. At the last census in 2010 Indians (Feather not dot) were a whopping 0.9%. I dont recall of the top of my head what the number was when they were at their lowest, ( I believe it was a few hundred thousand) but seriously what the fuck gives. Even at current the population growth rate there should be more of them then 3-5M. Makes no fucking sense. I got to thinking my great great grandpa was some sort of redskin (forget the tribe) and he married white. I look of rates of interracial marriage and for Indians they're over 50%. Did they nearly bang themsleves white after the genocide, plague or whateverthefuck or is there another explanation as to why their population has grown at such a slow rate.
My great great grandma morning star fucked some white dude aka my great great grandpa affectionately named white bread so on and so forth and when i ask anyone who knows anything about them "what tribe?" all i get in response is "morning star"

Native Americans will be extinct in America until Mexicans owe up to the fact that they're more native than the fuckers from that Buzzfeed video.

So natives will reclaim the demographics in the US again? I mean theyll be different natives, but natives nonetheless.
Jews are hated because they have the correct translate of verses in the bible. The bible as we know it is mistranslated.
There are not just one god people.
Elohim, translated correctly, means Gods, not God.
If no one cares about this topic, well, okei

>Jews are hated because they have the correct translate of verses in the bible.
NO; JEWS ARE HATED BECAUSE THEY ARE A PARASITIC, TREACHEROUS, MALICIOUS, AND INSIDIOUS, PEOPLE.
>There are not just one god people.
JEWS ARE GODLESS.
>Elohim, translated correctly, means Gods, not God.
1. "ELOHIM" MEANS "OFFSPRING OF EL"; EL IS SATURN.
2. JEWS ONLY WORSHIP YHWH, AND IALDABAOTH, THE DEMIOURGOS.

Wow! No need for such hate.
