Guys how many normies do you think know about the

I went around asking people on the street and they either gave a very vague or general answer or said they didn't know it at all. Seriously it had been around for over a millenia, how was no one taught of this? Does it differ on other continents, countries, regions, etc?

They kept asking why I was putting finger quotes around the name. I tried explaining (in a French accent) that the
>holy

>empire
was anything but.
Then they laughed at me and called me a faggot.

THE SENSUAL MAN, THE MORAL, AND THE SPIRITUAL.
1. From their birth, men exercise their senses, earlier than their intelligence,106 and they are by necessity forced to direct their attention to sense-objects. Some stop there, and spend their life without progressing further. They consider suffering as evil, and pleasure as the good, judging it to be their business to avoid the one and encompass the other. That is the content of wisdom for those of them that pride themselves on being reasonable; like those heavy birds who, having weighted themselves down by picking up too much from the earth, cannot take flight, though by nature provided with wings. There are others who have raised themselves a little above earthly objects because their soul, endowed with a better nature, withdraws from pleasures to seek something higher;107 but as they are not capable of arriving at contemplation of the intelligible, and as, after having left our lower region here, they do not know where to lodge, they return to a conception of morality which considers virtue to consist in these common-place actions and occupations whose narrow sphere they had at first attempted to leave behind. Finally a third kind is that of those divine men who are endowed with a piercing vision, and whose penetrating glance contemplates the splendor of the intelligible world, and rise unto it,103 taking their flight above the clouds and darkness of this world. Then, full of scorn for terrestrial things, they remain up there, and reside in their true fatherland with the unspeakable bliss of the man who, after long journeys, is at last repatriated. (Plotinus, Enneads, V, 9)

The discerning person, learned,
doesn't sense a (mental) feeling of pleasure or pain:
This is the difference in skillfulness
between the sage & the person run-of-the-mill.
For a learned person
who has fathomed the Dhamma,
clearly seeing this world & the next,
desirable things don't charm the mind,
undesirable ones bring no resistance.
His acceptance
& rejection are scattered,
gone to their end,
do not exist.
Knowing the dustless, sorrowless state,
he discerns rightly,
has gone, beyond becoming,
to the Further Shore.
(Buddha, Tipitaka, SN, Sallatha Sutta)

Did any other Plotinus work survive besides Enneads?

>>1498434
He didn't write anything. The Enneads are student notes. So no, unfortunately.

Why did he do destalinization and thus scared off the Chinese?
Didn't he realize that the Soviet Union started going downhill from there? Khrushchev, Brezhnev, Gorbachev and Yeltsin literally destroyed everything Stalin built in just 2 generations and rendered the sacrifices of millions of people meaningless and made Russia even weaker than before WW2.

Could we get some discussion going on this fascinating period of french history? I believe few periods of modern history can really top it in terms of style and aesthetics as well as the overall peace, prosperity and innovation.

Trying to understand the Syrian War of today is a real headache for me.
Which makes me ask: what are some of history's confusing wars? And by that I mean multifactional fighting, weird cassus belli, and other things that makes a war hard to understand?

Why did the Finnish Empire fail to colonize the americas?
Was the Hwan empire trying there to?

For the same reason ancient Chinese civilization never became a colonial empire, they had enough resources in their homeland to keep them content.
Plus the waterbender tribes in Nunavut were allied with the Hwan so provoking them would be a bad idea.

Decline of the society
At their cultural apex, many aristocratic Finns chose to ascend to the world of light and leave the physical realm of Yaldabaoth behind
The remaining plebs were too few for one and couldn't operate the empire efficiently, thus it collapsed

Some sort of counter-culture, yes, but without the effect his murder had on the national psyche, and depending on what he does in Vietnam, it probably won't be the same.
You'll still get Civil Rights and drugs/LSD (though in the case of the latter, nobody has really ever given me a concise answer as to why marijuana use suddenly skyrocketed in 1964-1966).

"Objectivity" is socioculturally-enforced. You are de facto forbidden from speaking of your qualia or proposing a "scientific" theory if it is not congruent with the zeitgeist.

>Inhumanism is the extended practical elaboration of humanism; it is born out of a diligent
