Not speaking for anyone else so to me, history is merely a interesting collection of facts regarding humans in general.
I'm bit autistic so I pursue knowledge where I can in packages that are manageable. It also helps me understand human conditions/psychology to the degree, allowing me to see a grand overview of humanity itself and down to small details of single human lives. This allows me to draw some analysis about modern worlds and humans and compare/contrast situations neatly for me to factor out.

I dunno lol
I've always liked stories be it in the form of movies, books or whatever
At some point I just came to the conclusion history is infinitely more interesting and intricate than anything anyone can conjure up from their mind

It continually reminds me that there are very few simple events which occur. Also much of the way the world works is counter-intuitive, and thus shouldn't ever be taken frivolously at face value.

Max comfy.
since it's /his/, let's talk about the internet's history.
I know it (kinda) violates the 25 year rule, but this is still the most relevant board to talk about it. Plus it ties to humanities in how the internet affected our current culture.
Anyone here familiar from first hand with the internet before the 90s? What was it like? And when did it develop to start resembling our current one?
And let's admit it, there will be such a thing as internet historians in the maybe far future, and 4chan will go down in history as one of the most influential sites ever, gaining reputation as the internet boogeyman. It was the catalyst for spreading memes, its users affected real life events, and its attitudes spread across the net and thus reflected in real life among people.
>tfw future politicians, artists, men of letters etc are today's shitposters
How does it make you feel?

The Great Schism in "Crusader Kings II"

Hello, I've been playing Crusader Kings 2, a grand strategy video game that takes place in the Middle Ages. My question for you guys concerns the Great Schism (East-West Schism of 1054). Relax, if you have not played the game you can still help me. In fact I do not think that any experience with the game is at all necessary to answer this question.
So the original game starts in 1066, after the Great Schism. But there are two DLC's for it that set back the start-date, one to 867 and the other to 769 AD. Obviously, both of these start dates in the real world are pre-Great Schism. However in the game the Christian faith is split into the Orthodox Church and the Catholic Church for each and every start date, 1066, 867, and 769. This is appropriate for the 1066 date of course, but with my limited knowledge it seems decidedly inappropriate for the other two.
The game does acknowledge that the Great Schism exists. If you play as the Byzantine Empire you can potentially "mend" the Great Schism. The fact that the developers have kept the game pretty damn historical and that they DO acknowledge the Great Schism in some form or another tells me that their decision to keep the churches split in the earlier starts wasn't a mistake. I have also done some research and discovered that the Eastern and Western Churches had ecclesiastical and theological differences well before the Schism (some sources claiming even as far back as Justinian I). However it is of course conceivable that the developers could have kept the faiths separated for gameplay or developmental reasons, or it could have simply slipped their minds.
So my final question for this thread is, was the developers' decision to keep the churches separate historically accurate? Was the Orthodox Church a thing before 1054? Was the Catholic Church?
Cheers to all that contribute.

Install CK2+, it adds a united Christianity.

>>1586628
I know that in the East they changed over from Latin services to Greek ones, but I'm not sure when that happened. Maybe the game chose to represent that split, since changing liturgical languages would naturally start to change the culture of the church?
>>
Pre-schism there was a definite rivalry between Greek and Roman traditions and spheres of influence, but it's not like you suddenly belonged to one denomination or the other after the schism, birth of the Catholic papist institution was a gradual process to centralize church rule and took decades

Of the socialists here, who would also identify as a Lysenkoist and why? Do you really believe that the inequitable distribution of capital is entirely the function of society, chance, and arbitrary historical processes?
Assuming it is not (i.e., some people innately possess traits that facilitate the accumulation of capital), is Marxist ideology and analysis dead in the water?

Lysenko is right in that people are not robots shaped 100% by their genes, but can be influenced heavily by environment.
That's who I reject the argument of 'socialism is against human nature because we are inherently greedy'. People can be- for want of a better word- brainwashed from birth to be model citizens.
The Soviets failed to achieve this because they kept many facets of the capitalist reward system; had currency, cars and apartments for high-achievers, etc; as well as general Slavic incompetence and slovenliness

Let the Germans cum in, my fellow Christian brother. Let them cum in Rome, so they can make a more multicultural, tolerant society.
You bigots should really learn about Christianity!

>>1586566
Yes. Christianity is a peaceful religion, all those violent Christians don't represent real Christianity.
Also, disagreeing with me means you're a christophobe

If I'm being attacked then just hamata and squamata since it's much quicker to put on

Lutheranism, Anglicanism, etc., excessive dependence on the state proved fatal in the long run. If the voter want sodomites, the state wants sodomites and churches will want sodomites.
I'd say Baptists.

who's the most eccentric prime minister/president you can think of?
The Canadian Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King was a childless bachelor with a PhD from the University of Chicago who believed that he could talk to his dead mother and who collected European ruins at his country estate.

For America, the prize goes to LBJ or Buchanan. Buchanan was a bachelor and was pretty incompetent at keeping the nation or even his party together. Even though Johnson had a ton of significant legislation, he would meet with his advisers during his morning shit and compare their penises to "Jumbo". And, of course, his interactions with Pearson.
