Education system is designed to make you a useful 'tool' for the benefit of society. Individuals who takes risks are not so useful to society because they cannot be controlled as easily as the obedient ones who don't take risks nor behave in risky manners.

Basically, educated minds are conditioned to not take the risks.

>>1693402
I don't know if this is the right board for this but i would think it comes down to how much these risks correlates the persons perceived chances of survival or asking the question "what do i have to lose" in some intances all people have to lose is their life, this may cause them to act irattionally.
that is my take on it , I am not sure it is the right answer though to your question

>>1693402
Because the intelligent people can make that amount of money in a few hours of work in a comfy office instead of taking on a chance of being killed or going to prison.

If you don't understand what risk is kys

Not with those crappy ships they don't. They wont even make it to Southeast Asia alive facing the sea alone.

If he could court some other European naval powers, he might be able to.

Japan was at the peak of its power during his time. With the whole country under his control, if he played his diplomacy right, other European nations would jump at the opportunity to see their rivals gone and have more influence in Japan.

the real question is "how good was the Spanish hold on the Philippines, and how much did the natives and nearby states like having the Spanish there?"

Sugar is extremely bad for you, as is fat. Learn how your body works and stop taking health advice from people trying to sell you something.

>>1693268
Hard not to when many people are sent off into the world with a mediocre health class or two and companies make a particular effort t make their preferred views "common knowledge".

I wonder what OP will do when he finds out they aren't the only group interested in making money at the expense of others?

Love isn't the exception. It's just romanticization we use to comfort us when we know that we're going to die and be forgotten by those we hold closest.

~ Division: fundamental layer of knowledge is an opposition
“I am conscious of x” and “x” could be the world or my dreams
Or my mood or my concepts or this fact that I am conscious

~
~ And “I” might be this brain, or might be caused by this brain
And this brain might instead depend on “I”
But regardless “I” is the thinker, yet “‘I’” can be thought of

~
~
~ You think of your self, “I am conscious,” “I am aware of myself”
There is the I, then the myself: subject/object, knower/known
There is consciousness, and there are its elements: I/x

~ Then when you know your self, when “I am self-conscious”
Who or what is the knower and who or what is being known?
Your self is known, but the knower is opposed to the known.

~
~ Introspect: you are conscious of hopes and doubts
And what is imagined and emoted and remembered
And all this personality of you is known by the unknown knower

~
~
~ And all outside: all touched and all watched in whatever ways
Are done so due to that knower, that knows the objects of space
As similar and as dissimilar, as in common and as divided

~ This division now though is between all your objects
An opposition not between subject/object, as was first
But between object x versus object y: both known by the subject

~
~ This division between objects that burrow versus objects that fly
Those conceived as rising versus those conceived as flowing
Some thought to behave thusly while others behave non-thusly

~
~
~ These: dissimilarities that yet rest on similarities, layered under
Something in common that allows for this abstract division
Burrows or flies, it lives: living or inert, it is real

Sounds more like what they'd do to heretics.

>>1692992

Sounds like what was done to religious people throughout the ages.

Is that Steve Wozniak?

Just be a deist, it's easy

>>1692949
Then you're a Deist?

It's fine if some want to accept the first cause as logically consistent. But the actual existence of a Deistic god remains nothing more than a philosophical argument.

I just can't wrap my head around why a God would create the Universe and then do nothing to interact with it.

By all means, there is no meaning at all in life. Even if there is, there is no way for you or men to know it and thus from our point of view its irrelevant.
Enjoy your newfound nihilism.

>>1692762
What's the point of existing in a nihilistic state?

I've come to the conclusion that we are just chemicals and what not, death or the abrupt halt of these chemicals, wouldn't be so bad.

Also, where can I learn more about nihilism?

British colony up until about 1964 I believe.
Fighting took place there or around there in ww1 and Japan actually helped defend it

Basically, if an Empire existed, it invaded you at some point.

Knights of Malta were extremely badass, maybe the most badass of any "Crusaders".

In the end, your name is in one of the greatest fucking movies of all time

I see a pattern here...

The governmental system was retarded and rival powers could just bribe noblemen to call the government body (Sejm) off whenever it met.

Non-Jew but my general understanding is that halakha is important because it comes directly from God and by following it you respect the partnership between God and man.

>Hell is the main moral motivator for a lot of ancient people's morality
This is how stupid you sound.

Why do greeks, chinks, romans have morality when everyone is going to the same afterlife?

>>1692625
Jews don't keep the mosaic laws.

if it was the case, we should see them stoning adulterers, killing apostates, and so on.
