Ten asses

Your average low-grade denarius is still worth $20-$50 in US currency. You just can't pay for groceries with it.

Though I recall reading about old Roman bronzes still being actively used as currency out in the villages in 18th century France.

The socialist bureaucrats often do not know very well how to conduct economic activity and socialist bureaucrats spend too much time on paperwork and too little to economic activi itself.

Honestly, no nation in which they work should collapse financially. Is nonsense be producing wealth and stay without it, is somewhat ironic pose the thesis that in the republics of workers they do not work.

I think Cuba resists the fact that there spend very little time on paperwork, but much to the economic work.

War is inherently barbaric.

Well I read the treaty and can't seem to figure out why some Mexicans think US land belongs to them. Are they just really ignorant?

Modern mexicans are the descendants of uneducated dirt poor farmers who probably barely even knew there was a war.

Mexicans are as ignorant as the average american

Ehh, most of them have, at most, an interesting anecdote or two, and a lot of them don't make sense if you're not a chessplayer yourself. I mean like, Botvinnik had a row with Averbakh, wouldn't speak to him socially for years, because Averbakh once had a position where he grabbed a queen for an easy endgame and a resignation rather than doing a forced 9 move checkmate, which offended Botvinnik's sense of chess purity.

I know Fischer once claimed that he almost didn't believe Euwe was ever a world champion, because he was "too normal".

I once gave odds to an IM, (and lost) over a misunderstanding. Dunno if that counts.

i heard that the first worldchampion wilhelm steinitz once drunkenly challenged god to play against him with one pawn less because there was no competitor at his time

albert einstein was kinda disappointed that the second world champion emmanuel lasker almost exclusively used his amazing intellect for chess although he was mathematically talented as well

the third worldchampion raul capablanca claimed to calculate 25 moves in advance in the endgame

the fourth champion alexander alekhine seemed to be somewhat of a nazi sympathiser at least he seemed to be welcome as a guest in nazi germany

also he was an alcoholic

the fifth worldchampion max euwe maybe even was too "normal" as bobby fischer claimed because he only won against alekhine because of his alcoholism

alekhine recovered after the slight victory of euwe ( 8:9 ) i think it was and hammered him with a very clear victory in the next world championship about 10:4 i think

the next world champion botvinnik was the only one to regain his title two times i think against smyslov and tal

tal was a heavy drinker and smoker and a player of immense creativity he was called something along the lines of magician of riga

tigran petrosjan was maybe the best defensive player of all time and he was although kind of deaf which granted him an advantage because he was lessed distracted by noise

boris spasski once played a magnificient game against bent larson in the fight of the UDSSR against the rest of the world in which he won in like 17 turns i think using a brilliant rook sacrifice

bobby fischer was the youngest grandmaster at his time i think at age 15 he might have had aspergers and a paranoid personality too

he kind of disliked chess later in his life which was propably due to his mental conditions as well but he claimed the game would be overtheorized to the point of the laughable importance of memorization of opening tactics in particular he thought the game should focus on creativity

Serbian brainwashing

Serbian brainwashing after WWII. It was an attempt to destroy everything Bulgarian in the region.

Those bloodletting """"doctors"""" are one of the world's biggest trolls. They are the modern equivalent of a self-certified doctor telling you that shooting yourself will gradually make you bullet proof.

What's the funniest part is that these """"doctors"""" could kill anyone they wanted with bloodletting without even being questioned about their practices.

Look, we tried to reboot Jew-free (see Meister Eckhart), but like your overlords always do, you papists threatened to burn it all to the ground if we did. So here we are, limping along years later, and like a spurned woman, you blame all the consequences of your fickle behavior on us. Such is life.

I attempt to understand religious belief every time I try to understand myself, as until recently I was a believer

>Without a belief in God, he said, “it’s more likely that your ultimate belief will become meaningless.”
This is not a reason to believe in God. I find the concept of objective morality unsatisfactory anyways. It being objective solely because God mandated it only makes it seem more arbitrary. I prefer a more down to earth approach: Will I benefit more from a lawless society that does not allow murder, stealing and rape or from a society that restricts me from doing these acts, but also protects me from these acts and punishes those who do them, discouraging it and making it less likely to happen to me? Do I benefit more from restricting people's ability to say political opinions I disagree with or with speech being protected, so that there is no chance my speech will be restricted and it is easier to have an open discussion of issues? In both cases, I'd say the latter. If this doesn't satisfy you, in America we already hold up the founding fathers ideas with religious reverence that is drilled into us in public schools which drives these shared values into us without the need for a God. Besides, christian God certainly isn't for freedom of religion, which I'm sure is among the "shared values" Moore is talking about. In Kings you'll see repeatedly that the Kings who are viewed with praise all actively suppressed the worship of other gods

*the Christian God

I went to a Catholic Highschool and studied various religions there and outside of school. I was always surrounded by religious people throughout my life, especially when I went to University.

You operate your brain, to control the own mind is called intellect, using the force to operate. The brain controls you if you let it, reacting instead of being proactive, not being conscious and aware
