Why didn't Polynesian tribes settle in Australia? Was it to do with the climate or Aboriginals? Or did they net know Australia existed, despite settling islands only relatively a short distance away?

Pretty sure polynesians didn't miss fucking Australia. I doubt the various climates throughout could be considered even remotely sound reasons for not settling.

It seems the only reasonable hypothesis is the Abos were so fucking ugly that they scared them away.

What would the world have been like had every nation spoke the same tongue? What would've changed by everyone being able to understand each other via some sort of universal language (Ignoring how infeasible such a thing is)?

One thing history points out. Whether you look at the book of Kings and Chronicles in the Bible, or you study the various Roman Emperors, or if you study the Presidents of the United States, or the various leaders of throughout history...

You'll notice, like for example in the book of Kings in the Bible, each King is introduced in one for two ways. "So and so King did GOOD in the eyes of the Lord, or So and So King did EVIL in the eyes of the Lord" etc etc

You look at Rome you'll see the same thing, emperors who did good or bad by "Roman standards". Same with US leaders, same with all the leaders throughout history etc etc

So what you see is a unpredictable trend. You never know who's going to take the throne. Even in Israel, "God's chosen people"...they weren't guaranteed a "Good king in the eyes of the Lord" because they were God's chosen people.

Now you ask what the world would be like with one leader and language? Think about it...

You now have no where to run in the event the power begins to corrupt, no "new world" to run to as our ancestors ran from the crown. Because the whole world would be under one voice and one will and one intent. That's one reason why the tower was destroyed. Man in his arrogance, is untrustworthy. Plain and simple. The amount of oppression that can take place under one single foot, where no one can escape to a "new world"....the potential oppression is what you have to keep in mind. But it will eventually happen, will be presented as a desirable solution. After that we'll have to wait and see what happens.

Finally we can have the Pan-Universal Roman Empire.

We'd end up with thousands of languages derived from one single language with various groups of people using various "Old X"s as a lingua franca akin to what we have/had now only linguistics would be a lot more or less interesting depending on what you like in linguistics.

Sharp dresser.
>>
>>1715484

He has his fans and his haters - and both would probably be sorta right and sorta wrong.

He was a great offensive tactician.

He liked taking risks and going on the offensive - and German High Command stuck him in Africa and told him he couldn't do any offensives ever while his logistics were constantly compromised by the RN prowling the Mediterranean.

He disregarded those orders and we all know how that went. Did he bleed out his equipment and supplies for very little gain? Yes. Did his dashing style make him popular and respected with his troops and his adversaries? Also yes.

Strategically his management of the defense of France wasn't all that bad, to be honest. His leadership just suffered from SS and Wehrmacht infighting. Also, he got strafed in his staff car so that didn't turn out too well.

>He liked taking risks and going on the offensive - and German High Command stuck him in Africa and told him he couldn't do any offensives ever while his logistics were constantly compromised by the RN prowling the Mediterranean.

His logistical compromising was more due to the expanses of desert he had to cross on the basis of almost no established infrastructure. The amount of supplies lost to RN raiding is generally overstated.

The plan he advocated didn't work at Salerno. Why would it work in Normandy?

"every bishop is Christ in person"

This is a Catholic doctrine.

The Orthodox think it's extremely wrong: http://anastasias-corner.blogspot.com/2008/06/in-persona-christi-capitis.html

Could some Catholic give me the justification the RCC uses for it?

I think this was thought out quite well. The only thing that I am skeptical about is the idea that the Germans would exterminate all Slavs in the annexed lands not deemed fit for assimilation. He did seem to touch upon enslavement but I don't think that would end. After all, the east was supposed to provide food for the empire and they always planned on using slaves for that.
>>
>>1715549
Yeah, my thoughts exactly. I forgot if the narrator brought it up in his series but the events of the book Fatherland were significantly more realistic than the events of The Man in the High Castle.
I mean seriously, how the hell do you drain the entire Mediterranean into Africa?

also I'll admit I'm a bit new to /his/, just wanted to ask if alternate history discussions are aloud, even though they aren't exactly "historical" per say.

>god knows everything, including the future, and everything that happens is according to his will, which you as a human are not capable of fully knowing
>despite this, god is willing to listen to your requests and alter the future in your favor

Yeah, nah. God knows everything. He knows as soon as you're born that you're going to grow up to be a piece of shit that dies and goes to hell forever. There's of course nothing you can do about this, because you're going to grow up to be a piece of shit and never pray for your salvation or cut the skin off your son's dick or whatever you have to do to join the cult these days.

If you don't pray, it's because you weren't ever going to, so god doesn't change the future for you.
If you do pray, it was because you were going to, and therefore god was never really altering his plans for you, he just forced you to go through the motions of prayer before he 'altered the future for you' when really he had plans to alter it before you were even born.

Prayer is unnecessary and counter-intuitive because it accomplishes nothing.

Drink and fornicate while you're still young, curse those who do when you become too old to do it. Like everyone else through history.

1. Author rigorously detailed account of contemporary curses with detailed etymologies and situational uses collected from contemporary celebrities.

2. Write a sequel, fine beers, their origins and their observed effects.

3. Throughout cast 'yelling' as a source of traditional cultural pride and a unique contribution to the artistic world that can only be performed properly in the conditions described in your previous books.

4. Get so rich off the above you can bitch slap an entire political party all the way to the nomination on fame and outrage alone.

5. Do another book deal.
If it worked - > 'Why I'm Awesome and People Listen to Me

If it didn't - > 'Why I'm too Patrician and Cultured to be Understood by Regular People'

6. Die of Cirrhosis.

I don't know why, but for about a year now, I've been getting some serious thoughts about becoming a priest. I don't really get it, and I don't know where to start, and every time I really look into it, I'm overwhelmed by anxiety about whether or not I can do it at all. I sometimes feel like I just want to escape the world, and priesthood seems like the best way of doing that that isn't shooting yourself or anything. I love catholicism, and I'd love to become a better catholic, but I don't really know If I'd ever be a good enough catholic. My parents would be upset, but I'm not really interested in getting married (I'm not gay, but I just don't seem to be as into sexual encounters as my friends. Not that that's bad, I don't fucking know). This has all been overwhelming, and I feel like I'm just looking for something to escape the madness of this world.

any advice /his/? you guys are the wise old man of 4chan.

Much of your post seems to concerned with escapism rather than any devotion or service to the church. Consider living in a log cabin and praying a lot instead. Becoming a priest requires a level of dedication and drudgery that few sane people possess.
