"This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
Farewell. My blessing season this in thee."

Hamlet. Act 1, Scene 3, lines 79-85.

DAILY REMINDER THAT POLAND MOBILIZED ITS TROOPS FIRST IN AUGUST OF 1939, WHICH AMOUNTED TO A DE FACTO DECLARATION OF WAR AGAINST GERMANY

On top of that, Poland previously made multiple offerings towards France during the 20's and 30's to invade Germany, this was known to Berlin since a long time.

Then there was also:

- Countless polish atrocities commited against ethnic germans between 1918 1939 (bromberg bloody sunday et al)
- Violation of the minority treaties by Poland in 1937
- Britain and France delivering a guarantee to Poland that they'd invade Germany if Germany defends itself against polish agression, which made Poland decline all the german peace offerings (this also violated the polish-german friendship treaty from 1934 btw)
- Poland ignoring the proposed 16 point peace plan of hitler

>Poland mobilized its forces first

Yes

Because Germany had been fully mobilized since the Munich Crisis in 1938

There's no point in Pascal's Wager in Chinese religion. You all go to the same place anyway.

The Greek Underworld outside of the Elysian Fields was pretty awful.

What's Catholic Hell supposed to be like? Or even Heaven for that matter?

But they don't fight each other?

Ethnology & Cultural Studies fag here

I cannot speak for any country but Germany, but here your Professor will typically get mad over being purposefully obscure and incomprehensible to the point where they will take personal offense.

I totally understand that, too. Those poor souls have to actually read and understand the bullshit we write.

Swiss Geography student here, some of the (german) literature our human geography professors gave us is completely unreadable in my opinion.
An exerpt from Belina 2008, " 'We may be in the slum, but the slum is not in us!', Zur Kritik kulturalistischer Argumentationen am Beispiel der Underclass-Debatte":
>Nach dem Bisherigen sollte klar geworden sein, dass „Kultur“ nicht etwas ist, das jemand hat, sondern etwas, das ihm oder ihr zugeschrieben wird. Wenn die Kultur des Kulturalismus auf der kritisierten tautologischen Konstruktion basiert, dann liegt sie genauso wenig „an sich“ vor wie die Natur der Rassisten, sondern wird durch die kulturalistische Argumentation erst geschaffen. So, wie für die Kritik des biologistischen Rassismus gilt, dass nicht vermeintliche biotische „Rassen“ das Problem sind, „sondern der Glaube an deren Existenz und die damit verbundenen Wertungen und Wirkungen“ (kattmann 1999, 80), so gilt für die Kritik des Kulturalismus, dass nicht das als „Kultur“ Bezeichnete – also das, was Personen/gruppen tatsächlich auf unterschiedliche Weise tun – das Problem sind, sondern die Vorstellung, dass sie dies täten, weil sie eine Kulturen haben. Um diese Vorstellung zu kritisieren, sind also die tatsächlichen sozialen Praxen der Menschen, denen eine „Kultur“ zugeschrieben wird, unwichtig. Dieser blinde Fleck ist nicht der Kritik anzulasten, sondern dem Kulturalismus selbst, der aus den – jederzeit untersuchenswerten – sozialen Praxen „da draußen“ erst „Kulturen“ zimmert. Die Kritik des Kulturalismus befasst sich deshalb mit der „Idee von Kultur“, mit den durch sie vorgenommenen sozialen Grenzziehungen und schließlich mit den ideologischen Leistungen dieses Vorgehens (mitchell 1995, 2000a; eaGleton 2000).

I agree, all that kraut speak is totally unreadable.

Is your thesis related to maritime/naval history? I ask because of the image.

>>1721824
It might be, will have to change my topic.

I am however very interested in maritime history, wrote a paper in undergrad about maritime history.

Picture is from the Vasa museum in Stockholm, well worth a visit. An almost intact warship that foundered during its maiden voyage in 1628,

>is anyone here studying anything related to the humanities?
Hehe, I am in radiology class as I am typing this. Odontology is not a part of humanities, but it is not considered a science either.
That makes me wonder, Were does medicine belong? I hear it being called a "Health science", but it sounds like an SJW therm made up so doctors may feel better.

What you would do is only important if there's a possibility you will do it. It's simply estimating your future chances of doing something.

>Considering the primal, original state of character of a person, it would be possible to calculate what that person would do in certain circumstances. Would they risk their life to save his mother? Would they put a bag of money in the trunk if they found it and notify was seeing?
nope
>As timelines are ultimately a series of possibilities, it would make more sense to see things that way.

what if up was down

A school of Platonism mostly focused on the metaphysical aspects of Plato's philosophy

http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/neoplatonism

>>1721426
>It is an undeniable fact, although nowadays rarely acknowledged, that the general outlook and the principal doctrines of the Neoplatonists proved exceedingly influential throughout the entire history of western philosophy. Through Augustine (354–430) in the West and the 4th-century Cappadocian Fathers (Basil, Gregory of Nyssa, Gregory of Nazianzus) in the East as well as the pseudo-epigraphic writings of Dionysius the Areopagite (early 6th century), Neoplatonism profoundly influenced the emergence of mainstream and not so mainstream Christian theology (John Scotus Eriugena, Thomas Aquinas, Duns Scotus, Meister Eckhart). In addition, by way of a pseudo-epigraphical treatise entitled Theology of Aristotle, Neoplatonic thought facilitated the integration of ancient philosophy and science into both Islam (especially through Al-Kindi, Al-Farabi and Avicenna [Ibn Sina]) and Judaism (Maimonides).

I hadn't heard of this before. Greatly appreciate the good read.
