I guess all of you guys are aware about the teleportation paradox:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teletransportation_paradox
some says that in such a case "you", subjectively speaking, would cease to exist, otherwise the second example would imply two identical "yous" on the same time
Now, I thought about another case inspired by the Theseus Ship paradox, i guess somebody else thought about it already but here we go:
what if such machine only destroys a part of your brain and replaces it with an identical copy, perfectly joined with the rest of your brain and entirely made of new matter?
Then, what happens when this process gets repeated until the whole brain gets replaces while keeping the identical atomic structure of the original?
If you would be subjected to such an experiment, what would happen to your own "self" or, in other words, to your subjective experience?

Is History the most legitimate Humanities degree? Why does everyone shit on it so much, especially the "MUH HERITAGE" /pol/tards who fell for the STEM meme? How are you going to praise the historical accomplishments of your ancestors while trashing the academic study of said history?
History is much better than most humanities subjects. It still for plebs brainlets who can't learn it for themselves.
arent those meme charts suppose to represent earnings rather than importance?

No, it's entirely arbitrary
Who was the LEAST consequential American president?
Who left office having left the smallest mark on the country and the weakest legacy?
I'd say Carter. He's not really remembered for anything except failing to rescue the Americans being held hostage by the Ayatollah of Iran
lemme just end the thread right now so we can go back to being /pol/ .5
>Dies within a year of being president
that's pretty much it.
>>1640564
That isn't Harding or Buchanan.
Carter had a profound effect on Liberal International Relations around the world and the US.
Despite not particularly agreeing with Liberal IR theory myself, you can't discount the impact he had at the time. He's still regularly cited in political units at universities across the world.
Is race a social construct? If not, how many races are there? What defines a human "race"?
>>1640106
Race isn't real, but tribalism is. If you don't look like me, then I'm not as naturally inclined to trust you because you aren't from where I'm from.
Is it so hard to believe that different lineages of humans have different mutations the may very well infact affect things like intelligence?
>>1640106
Yes. What people usually mean by race is ethnicity, and it mostly comes up when one ethnicity is intentionally racialized in order to distinguish it from the default, usually White WASP in America.
What's the most autistic war/event/conflict in history /his/?

Every major event in history is just human being autistic about religion/power/money/true/shit.
alright let´s meme again
People's Crusade
The Pope had the idea to sent peasants fighting for religion instead of mercenaries fighting for money. In the end their whole army was destroyed by the Turks in the first battle, they lost 30.000 men where the Turks lost less than a hundred.
Why does commies always starve to death?
Just look at Holodomor, The Great Leap Forwards and now currently Venezuela.
>>1638160
That's not real communism comrade.
poor decision making by the bureaucracy.
real communism needs to have the people in charge, not stalin/chaves/mao and a few of his buddies who are divorced from the proletariat in distinct ways.
>>1638210
But the people are imbeciles which is why the Maos and the Stalins of the world take always come on top in socialism.
After Battlefield 1 was announced, I've become very interested in WWI and I want to learn more.
Specifically, I want to learn more about the Italian Alps and and Arabic theater and Lawrence of Arabia. I didn't even know this stuff was fought over before now.
Anyone got resources on this stuff? Books/videos/other things?
>I want to learn more about the Italian Alps and and Arabic theater and Lawrence of Arabia. I didn't even know this stuff was fought over before now.
They fucking weren't fought over.
WW1 was fought in trenches in germany and france by fucking WHITE PEOPLE.
>>1638126
Hello /v/!
>>1638126
I know you're trolling, but the war between Germany and France (+ some British help) on the Western front was still the most relevant
A shame they chose to replace it with Bedouins in BF1
I don't really understand the japanese strategy in WW2. I know the army and the navy didn't cooperate much, but the way they handled the war it seems they had no idea of what they were doing.
>>1636794
>Let's have many half-assed theaters!
t. Ministry of the Army.
>>1636794
probably because it was really an alliance between manchuria (army) and japan (navy)
nips gave yanks an excuse to their pacific but god forbid china ever gets the power to collect on its debt owed

I don't really know what their end goal was but I assume it was control oil fields + use chinks as slaves

John Paul 2 is a well of hilariously bad statues.
Would an ideology seeking to unify the Aryans from Europe, Persia and Pakistan be plausible? Or are there just too many cultural differences and mindsets.
Only if they agreed on a common cause, i.e. remove kebab and merchant.
>>1632711
I don't think too many European ""Aryans"" would be too keen on aligning with the pure Aryans of Iran and northern India.

Why bother?

Long-term stability and neutrality, in comparison to the short-sightedness of politicians who are elected only for short terms and must waste time and effort on winning their next elections (allowing special-interest groups to influence them).

Not in this passage, no, not a chance.

We have to look at the context to whom Jesus is speaking. Jesus gave Peter the authority to bind and loose in Matthew 16:
>And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
Matthew 16:18-19
"Binding and loosing" is a phrase which comes from the rabbis. It refers to the authority to make decisions binding on the people of God.
This authority includes interpreting and applying the Word of God and admitting people to and excommunicating them from the community of faith. For the Jews this meant the community of Israel. For Christians this means the Church.
Saint Basil explains this very well:
>Though Peter be a rock, yet he is not a rock as Christ is. For Christ is the true unmoveable rock of himself, Peter is unmoveable by Christ the rock. For Jesus doth communicate and impart his dignities, not voiding himself of them, but holding them to himself, bestoweth them also upon others. He is the light, and yet 2. You are the light: he is the Priest, and yet he 3. maketh Priests: he is the rock, and he made a rock.
—Basil li. De poenit. cƒ. Matt. v. 14 ; Luke 22:19
>>1639767
>Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.
Matthew 12:30
>And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
Matthew 16:18-19
>The one who hears you (Peter) hears me, and the one who rejects you rejects me, and the one who rejects me rejects Him who sent me.
Luke 10:16
>I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd.
John 10:14-16
>When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.” He said to him a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Tend my sheep.” He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, “Do you love me?” and he said to him, “Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep.”
John 21:15-17
Was hunting and eliminating Witches justified?
>>1639716
Is removing a cancerous tumor justified?
>>1639716
Only if they were actually capable of anything. It's odd that something as innocuous as (((witchcraft))) was purged if it's generally agreed that it isn't a real thing.
But then again, lets not turn this into /x/
>>1639716
Yes it was in principle, witches are real and need to be killed. See Leviticus 20:27 and Exodus 22:18 for reference. The problem of things like the Salem witch trials though was that they didn't get a fair trial - which per the Mosaic covenant requires two or three separate witnesses - see Deuteronomy 19:15.
Now I'm not arguing whether the Salem witches were actual witches or not (although some of them probably were), but they weren't really proven guilty the way the Mosaic law commands.
