When was it that all plebs in Europe knew what year AD it was? Like by 1200 did peasants know it was 1200? By 1300? 1400? 1500?
around 800 AD it was widely used in Europe and England
Many peasants in europe were illiterate retards that didn't even know what year they were born as late as the 19th century.

This. Peasants were retards who wouldn't know the time of day, let alone what season it is. You're a fucking retard if you think one would ever know the fucking year.

With high population, yes. And as soon our ancestors had enough intelligence and material culture to be in the high ranks of the food chain, high population was a matter of time.
The neolithic revolution came because the pressure on the middle-east region's was too high. The calories it could supply without any transformation were insufficient for the amount of mouths living on its soil.

Yes, it is the imperative of every people/nation to rule and conquer. Read Spengler sometime

Pretty much. Organised hierarchical societies tend to beat freer less organised ones

No, that's ridiculous. Jesus never advocated for seizing the means of production.

nihilism is a faith based position in the same way a belief in god is a faith based position.
to conclude life and the universe has no ultimate meaning you would have to examine it as a whole, since as humans we are limited to a tiny part of the universe our knowledge of the whole of the universe is insufficient to come to this conclusion with anything even remotely resembling certainty. life may appear to have no meaning but there was a time when the earth appear flat, appearances can and often are deceptive.
whether life and the universe does or does not have an ultimate meaning is unknowable to us at this current time. in the same way the existence of god is. life and the universe could have an ultimate meaning and we would be ignorant to it in the same way a cog in a machine (if sentient) would be ignorant to its place in the larger system of things due to its limited perspective. the cog's life would appear to be without meaning, it spends its entire life going in a circle in what seems to be a completely inconsequential and purposeless manner. if the cog could see the entirety of the system it exists within it would see that its function does have purpose, even if that purpose is limited in scale.
the only intellectually honest position with respect to the question of whether life and the universe has any ultimate meaning is that of agnosticism. in the same way the, the only intellectually honest position with respect to the question of whether there is or is not a god is that of agnosticism.
since there is insufficient evidence to conclude life and the universe has no ultimate meaning or purpose, such a belief is based on a leap faith rather than knowledge.
prove me wrong, please.

I hope you're also agnostic about the unicorn living in your backyard
>>1683026
why wouldnt I be?
I dont believe its there but I dont know for sure that it isnt.
are you saying ultimate meaning is analogous to unicorns?

>Le you cant know nothing jon snow meme
Theres is actually a demon unicorn dragon necrofilic soul surrounding your body until the day of your death. The afterlife consist of being eternally sodomize by him.
>you got any proof for that claim?
>Nah but you dont have proof to proove me wrong because we cant know it yet but someday we may proove me right. Until that day my theory deserves has much respect and significance has any other since you couldnt prove me wrong and that is enough reason to making it "probable".
God fuck i hate agnosticism retards
Is there a way for me to become a psychiatrist without actually having a degree in this field?
I've been providing psychiatric help for my friends and relatives for a while now, and the word has sort of spread to the point where my friends are referring their friends to have a session with me. Everyone seems satisfied with the results so far.
So I'm thinking, is there a way for me to make it official? I have a bachelor's degree in political science and a master's degree in political philosophy, and I'm currently working as a journalist.
>>1683020
Only three star posters would have any chance of making an accredited leap into psychiatry like that in today's world.
>>1683020
>I've been providing psychiatric help for my friends and relatives for a while
Do you mean you prescribe them medication? That's what psychiatrists do. For that reason, they have to go to med school.
I think you mean becoming a psychologist/counselor. Because there's no way you could become a psychiatrist within it a degree. That would be fucking dangerous.
>>1683033
Damn, still got some earning to do, it seems. People just don't upboat my posts all that much.
>>1683042
>I think you mean becoming a psychologist/counselor.
Possible, but I was sure I got the terms right this time. I always confused the two. Anyway, I meant the so-called 'shrink'. Not a native English speaker, sorry.
>Because there's no way you could become a psychiatrist within it a degree.
And what about psychologist/counselor?
Who was Jesus Barabbas?
>>1683013
Probably the same figure as Jesus of Nazareth who was later split apart by the Gospel writers in order to manufacture a bizarre and completely uncorroborated set of circumstances (passover pardon, funny how there's no independent verification of a custom like this) to shift blame for the death of Jesus away from Rome and towards the Jews.
>>1683018
Are you basing this on personal conjecture, or some critical, academic argument?
>>1683022
I'm mostly basing it on Hyam Maccoby's work, if that's what you're asking. The actual cut and thrust supporting it would be far, far longer than I could cram into a 4chan post, but if you're interested, I would recommend Revolution in Judea. But that is his ultimate conclusion, that "Jesus Barrabas" and "Jesus of Nazareth" were the same dude, and that a lot of distortions and uncorroborated bits of local "tradition" in the Gospels tend to make the Pharisees/Judean society at large less sympathetic, and the Romans more sympathetic.
What, specifically, is wrong with a "great man" reading of history?

>F*CKING

It oversimplifies. It funnels entire periods of history through the lives of singular individuals. This leaves a lot of others by the wayside, and while they may not have contributed equally their contributions are still worthwhile and give a more complete view of the time period.
I don't consider genocidal shitcunts to be great.
Can anyone dispute Marx's theory of historical materialism?
No because he was completely right
Civilizations are more than his economical-material vision of things. That said, it could be said to be "correct" in the lowest sense if it was named "historical degeneration".
not a refutation of course but a good compilation of the basics of Marxism and Leninism: http://bookzz.org/book/862537/add33c
We struggle with cavities, bleeding gum, receding gums etc... today with all the fancy tech we have (floride paste, flesses, tepee).
What was the dental hygiene of people like in the past? Did they lose all their teeth by 30?
The Egyptians tended to die frequently of dental abscesses on account of all the sweet food, and all the sand in their bread wearing down their teeth.
It was worse than ours, but at the same time gross ass teeth has always been unappealing.
Neanderthals and pre-civilized humans had pretty good sets of chompers, but this is mainly due to a lack of starchy diets so prevalent in agricultura societies. Once the agricultural revolution takes into effect, tooth decay increases dramatically
There are ways of brushing your teeth (charcoal, twigs, resin) since many rules were had on hygiene. I believe Medieval Europeans had laws that permitted divorce on the grounds of malodorous breath, so it must have been a relatively common problem.
Isn't that why we have wisdom teeth? For when our back teeth deteriorate, we got some back ups?
>people get these surgically removed
I hate the dentist so much I suffered the pain of letting them grow in. It wasn't even that bad tbqh.
