I'd remember hearing Aisha was 6-9 years old when Mohammad (PBUH) married her
As a practising Muslim this deeply troubles my conscience to think my Prophet would do such a thing. Is there some context that I'm missing?
Well /his/, was Mohammad actually a pedophile? Or are these more Neo-Nazi bigot lies?

Tell me about this man, /his/. Was he a good leader? Could anyone else have done a better job of leading an independent Ireland?
Also-why the fuck did the Brits even let ROI happen? The rising failed, and I get that people were pissy but they at no point held a candle to the military force of Britain, right?
>>1518307
He's a good guy but windows 10 sucks ass
>>1518307
The rising failed but the ensuing guerilla war didn't.
Eamon De Velera was a great man. He fought in the Easter rising and the war of independence and later became Prime Minister and then President. He kept Ireland neutral during world war 2 but his "going it alone" approach to world affairs kinda made Ireland poor.
And also, you are wondering how an independent Ireland happened when the rising failed. It's because in 1919 a war of independence started which succeeded in 1921.
Did the Roman Empire have like standardized grammar? Rules for capitalization & punctuation? Codified spellings?

>Did the Roman Empire have like standardized grammar?
More or less. The language of course evolved over centuries and underwent changes. Furthermore, many people developed their own rhetorical style, in which they would also write, e.g. Cicero who often leaves of the "esse" when using an AcI.
>Rules for capitalization & punctuation?
No, because there was neither.
>Codified spellings?
I'm not really sure what you mean.
>>1518216
>Codified spellings
Nah.
>standardized grammar
One or two analyses of Latin were published, notably by Varro.
>Rules for capitalization & punctuation
The interpunct was, at that point, the only form of Latin punctuation.
>>1518252
>codified spelling? Nah
They did have, though, an enormous set of abbreviations. That is why is hard for us Latin students to read monumental inscriptions.
For example, they wrote cos instead of consul, fil instead of filius, cn instead of Gnaeus, and so on.

so many people died.
but stop and just imagine if they had aligned as a duchy of greater glorious mother england, and gone through english conversion.
If Alexander didnt die at 33, would his Empire have lasted
who knows
>>1518077
He would have expanded it to India and probably China and Italy aswell.
>>1518085
He wanted to conquer Arabia next, maybe he would have killed Muhammad's ancestors and saved us all from another bloody Anrahamic religion
How do I learn about WW2? I would like to learn about things like why Germany attacked Russia, why it started and how it ended, etc. I have only a basic grasp of history and figured now that I'm getting some time off work I can start brushing up.
And then maybe I'd like to learn about the Cold War. Like, how come Russia and US, two former allies in WW2, went at each others throats, etc

WWII started because the west was afraid of Germany's growing economic power, all other reasons were secondary

What are the arguments against a one-world government, if it could be formed and stabilized? Surely you can make a case for inefficiency or disagreement with policy, but there must also be great benefits for research and standard of living, right? Expecting a lot of flaming for this one, but that's fine, I just want to hear good reasons from eithet side. Pic unrelated.

If you believe a one world government would issue in the antichrist, don't you want it to happen so God could come in and usher in heaven on earth?
Why did men in the U.S. stop wearing hats?
>>1517932
When they abandoned God.
We've been over this, in the past people actually spent most of their day outside, working, so the hat served a practical purpose of protecting your head from the elements and giving some shade to your face. Nowadays everybody works inside in an office, and when we don't we sit in a car (that has a roof) and as such there is no practical need for hats any more.
Do you think these guys acted reasonably based on the time they came from or not?

Why was Hitler so obsessed with Prussian Nationalism and reclaiming historical Prussian lands when he was Austrian-Bavarian?
>>1517850
Because he was Germanic who sympathized and support his fellow Germans.
>>1517853
But Brits are also Germanic then.
>>1517850
He probably wasn't. He had to pander to Prussian feelings to get the military elite on his side.
so I was reading on Antinatalism, and it took me to Schopenhauer's Will, and it took me to Buddhism and I noticed all of these have grounds on empathy and wanting to extinguish suffering of human being. I dont recall ever reading anything on empathy. Is there some thesis about it or is it just assumed?
tl;dr why should I empathyse with humanity?
Empathy is something you 'should' or 'shouldn't' do, it's something you have or don't have, it isn't voluntary.
>>1517837
>I noticed all of these have grounds on empathy and wanting to extinguish suffering of human being.
normies cling to this so that
-they continue to be degenerate
-while they feel good about themselves for wanting people to be happy and ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''understanding'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' people's suffering.
too bad that normies fail to see that dukkha is explicitly
-ignorance of fleeing pains, clinging to pleasure
-fleeing pains
-clinging to pleasure
also, empathy is a bad translation of metta and karuna
and you can only get baby-tier metta or karuna before awakening
It's most likely a survival mechanism(from a darwinian approach and not paying attention to a metaphysical aspect atm). If we can empathize with others of our species and with other species, it makes for more cooperation, and our species usually does fairly well when we cooperate. There are those who can't biologically feel empathy, but that trait is necessary for certain types of decision making. I would say it's directly correlated with emotional intelligence(being able to read facial expressions, understand a feeling through a tone of voice, cultural artifacts, etc.), but beyond that it becomes somewhat on the boundary of empirical absolutes and metaphysical/abstract absolutes, to where we don't have the right amount/type of drugs yet to understand it on that level or something cool like that. It could also just literally be different frequencies of electricity that our brain gives off, and those who show traits of less empathy sometimes have out of the baseline of what we consider normal to be defects in the structure of the brain. But I'm just an absurdist that likes psychology because it uses big words, so there's that.
Was Baldwin IV really like this?
no, the modern audience would be triggered by how antediluvian the views of these people were, it wasn't motivated by insecurity and hubris like their imitators on /pol/, they unironically believed in their religions and social order as though it were plain fact, like one of the laws of physics

Pretty good movie. Not accurate at all but I liked it.
This thread is cross-posted from /sci/ (it's not doing well there, and I think there may be legitimate interest here), and it concerns a very small document in the history of mathematics (subject related): the "EMLR".
In fact, what the document actually consists of are a few dumb-simple arithmetic calculations, small enough that you could fit them onto one sheet of modern paper (the roll itself is a bit bigger than that, measuring about 10" x 17").
The story of the document goes like this. Once upon a time, there was a young, sickly Scottish lawyer by the name of Alexander Henry Rhind, born in 1833. Rhind also had an interest in antiquities, and so he took a trip to Egypt for some "fresh air", as people living in the 19th century liked to say. The trip was also an opportunity to make a purchase. Although the historical details on this point are unclear, the basic idea is this: circa 1858 A.D. , at a market in the modern city of Luxor (which in ancient Egypt was known as Thebes), Rhind purchased at least two items: a very long and much more involved papyrus which is a treatise of elementary mathematics, and therefore acquired the name of the "Rhind Papyrus", and a tiny, extremely brittle rolled-up piece of leather, which was impossible to unroll without destroying it (the EMLR). Both items are thought to have been "discovered" (i.e. illegally looted) from the nearby ruins of ancient Thebes, such that they were made availble for purchase to whitey.
Rhind goes back to Britain, bringing the documents with him, to live for a few more years. Being a sickly man, he promptly drops dead in 1863 (possibly pulmonary disease), aged 30. C. 1863/1864, Rhind's estate directs that both items are bequeathed to the British Museum, where they are kept today.
The topic of this thread is therefore closely related to the so-called Rhind papyrus, which I had previously discussed in an archived thread:
https://warosu.org/sci/thread/8027713
Due to its central location in London, westerners from 1863/4 going forward thus had ample opportunity to study, translate, and bitch about the Rhind Papyrus, which they proceeded to do on-and-off for about 70 years. Meanwhile, the Leather Roll sat quietly curled up, its contents unknown.
Fast forward to 1927. Some scholars and a chemist start spot-testing a chemical treatment, in an effort to unroll this ancient piece of leather. It works, and they do indeed soften and unroll this ancient document. The writing turns out to be simple arithmetic, which is very much of a piece with that of the Rhind papyrus. Specifically, both documents are thought to date from c. 1650 B.C. (+- 100 years, the Rhind papyrus itself contains historical details which date it more precisely in terms of ancient Egypt). The EMLR performs very similar calculations to those found in the Rhind papyrus (or RMP, where the "M" stands for "mathematical"). And both documents are written in the ancient Egyptian "hieratic" script. Hieratic is basically a cursive form of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics, which allowed scribes to write more rapidly.
Pic related is a historical blurb which comes from volume two of Chace's two-volume exposition on the Rhind Papyrus, published 1927/1929, when the EMLR had JUST been unrolled. the OP pic and this pic both derive from that volume, and they therefore represent among the first looks that anyone had had at the EMLR, in a publication.
As for the hieratic writing system, and specifically hieratic numerals, the following page and image are extremely useful:
http://www-history.mcs.st-and.ac.uk/HistTopics/Egyptian_numerals.html
Using pic related, it is feasible for a determined reader to look closely at the OP (or a much cleaner drawing of same which is soon to follow), and translate the calculations. The short version is that the document consists of 26 simple equations among fractions, which are duplicated on the document. By using the existing wiki, you can quickly start to pick out which bits are which, and compare original with translation:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_Mathematical_Leather_Roll
or if you don't feel like squinting, I found this drawing of the OP, somewhere (although its treatment of columns seems to be backwards/confused).
Small fragmentary bits of information are missing from this drawing, however.
