Will human civilization ever return to feudalism?
Societies and civilizations are large collections of overlapping, intersecting, and interacting institutions. Feudal and Manorial society was a collection of institutions and relationships some of which persist even to this day in many parts of the world.
I just dislike this characterization. What is meant by "Feudalism?" There are a large number of feudal institutions which typify and characterize this concept, that can be present in varying degrees.
>>1655249
what he said.
Feudalism still sort of exists in a number of varying ways in underdeveloped countries.

well on our way now...in the west anyways.

No wonder everything went wrong.
Why did the German state have to be created by some Baltic LARPers?

Is it possible that these ancient relatives had some form of symbolism or spirituality?
Bump
short answer: almost certainly no
long answer: the easiest way to tell if a hominid had culture is to see what it was buried with. If something has spirituality, it probably cares about the afterlife, and would bury dead family with food or tools or flowers or whatever else it thinks might be needed on the other side.
Now, Australopithecus was not found buried in graves or cairns, which suggests that they did not care about the afterlife. Although it is possible that they had funerary practices but didn't bury their dead, but left them in the open, proving this is basically impossible, since such funerals do not lend themselves to easy preservation.

sense of not being eaten by a lion and the warmth of hugging kin was probably as far as it went until scarcity problems were met probably correlatory if not directly causatory of the use of psychadelics, that which is human growht, special evolution of the mind and thus the environment it controls (and the fact it does) to greater degrees transgenerationally & clearly within one lifetime, the difference is night and day. cannabis at the least is a performance enhancing drug. at least get its clasification right.
gave direct rise to the use and invention of things like language, writing, invention, history as a passed along phenomenon that gives rise to the snowballing or compounding of human genius, the species exists in direct causation of the use of psychadelics, our brains naturally produce dmt and every single person alive has an endocannabinoid system bound to their bodies as important as the nervous system.

>Implying your lineage wouldn't sneak out for some mongol cock
Answer is lad, to do that sort of maths you'd need a lot of data or some fresh Ghengis chromosomes or something.
If we estimate that he had 4 sons, lets not could Gelejian, and that they had 4 sons and so on; and that a generation is what - 25 years?
Generation 10 [250 years later] would be 4^9, or 260,000 people.
> [425 years later] generation 17 would have more people than are alive today.
> [475 year later] generation 19 would have more people than have ever lived.
So what gives, well you have to account for betacucks, infertility, faggotry, mortality and a LOOOOOOT of inbreeding. The meme of the ubiquity of Temujin's genetics has proliferated like those perhaps apocryphal genetics because we assume that he was a potent man who had a lot of kids, and that those kids would have chadded it up too.
My bet is that we're all descended from him. Even native americans, abos and subsaharan Africans. All it would take for this to be the case is for there to be a decent chance that one of his line will copulate with someone from the next settlement. Keep reiterating that for 800 years, I bet you'd could tree upon which we're all living extremities and ol mongol big cock the trunk :^)
All conjecture though, no one knows for certain, estimates will vary wildly.

I remember reading it's something like 5-10%, and only in the Middle East and Asia.
When two nations go to war, how does God decide which one will win if they both worship and pray to him?
God fights on the side with the best artillery.
First, is this a God that operates on free will, semideterminism, or total determinism? Secondly, is it a dualist theology?
Which God?
Wow killing women and children then running away the second they see an army such impressive warriors.

What were interactions like between black & white people in the Northern & Western U.S.A. prior to the 1960s?
So like in 1940s or 1860s?

Bonus points if it's historical
Seems like the mainland European powers couldn't get enough of these Irish soldiers. Why were they in such high demand? and why did they so easily become generals in Spain,France, Austria and even Russia?
Historically even people who hated the Irish like Lord Mountjoy and James II admitted they were good fighters.
For the same reason you find Chechens around whenever there's a conflict in the Muslims world.
If your state fails hard enough, you can actually make a living out of fighting, which you would be doing for free anyway.
This is also why Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Guatemala contribute so many UN peacekeepers.
You know that dude who beat Napoleon at Waterloo?
Born in Dublin.

>falls for churchills bait during bombing campaign, targets towns and cities in southern England, because Churchill was bombing Germany, just like Churchill wanted
Like I get he didn't want to seem weak probably, but if he didn't bomb towns & cities in retaliation, world war 2 could've been avoided, or at least have had a different outcome. What is he really gaining from bombing civilians other than British hatred for Germany? The peace movement in Britian stopped after he started to bomb London. Surely targeting just military targets would've been more beneficial and economical to the German war effort anyways?

If Hitler was capable of evaluating world events and making smart decisions, he wouldn't have been Hitler.
>>1654889
>but if he didn't bomb towns & cities in retaliation, world war 2 could've been avoided,
What? It had already been going on for months.
> or at least have had a different outcome.
Extraordinarily unlikely.
>What is he really gaining from bombing civilians other than British hatred for Germany?
Battle of Britain was still, at least on paper, to support a sealion. In addition to reducing the RAF, Hitler needed to disrupt lines of communication, to keep troop formations from rushing to wherever he was landing and overwhelming the beachhead, and destroying any industry is nice.
>The peace movement in Britian stopped after he started to bomb London.
The Peace movement was nowhere near to unseating Churchill in any way.
>Surely targeting just military targets would've been more beneficial and economical to the German war effort anyways?
It also would have been insufficient. Britain was building planes faster than Germany was, and pilots were the real bottleneck. Bombing airfields stung the RAF, but not nearly enough to pull them out of action, and if the heat got too bad, there was nothing preventing them from pulling up stakes and basing somewhere in the Midlands, sacrificing coverage time over southern England to protect the airfields. What do you do then?
Not to mention the bombing of civilians being directly attributable to British strat-bombing is ridiculous. Seelowe demanded destruction of railroads before the invasion, and sooner or later you're going to have to bomb civvies to do that.
Can christians follow other philosophers ethics, like being christian but following stoic ethics.
Well technically you can follow any morality you like as long as you're not afraid of going to hell.
Sure, why not? Especially if your one of those christians who think you will go to heaven just by simply believing that Jesus is the son of God. regardless of your actions.

To liberate the Arab peoples in Iran.
