No, early adulthood is when Peter makes more sense

Older adulthood is when you realize they were both fucking idiots. Christopher is a shitty version of David Hume and Peter is a shitty version of John Gray

Other way around m8.

Used to be language, called Low Saxon. It is reduced to dialects that are slowly dying.

But the map ain't correct because in parts of the Netherlands the language is Low Franconian.

>>1492578

well, they taught you lot pederasty

and you've been doing it since

anicent Greece was ruled by a Turkic/Turan elite.
look it upp

England would be shittier.
Seriously, even though I don't like Cromwell and his autism, Royalists were a bunch of idiots and incompetents.

>>1492633
How so?, im not being obtuse im genuinely curious

Then England would have ended like revolutionary France a century later since there wouldn't have been a compromise between the King and Parliament that stemmed uprisings. Britain has been amazingly stable since the Glorious Revolution while France has literally had half a dozen republics since then.

Thats deep senpai.

There's a meme in society of some kind of entrepreneurial post-capitalist industrial-scientific "productivity" thing, and they are expressing the meme because they are demi-conscious memebuoys floating on a slurry sea of currents you can only see if you zoom out.

It's exhausting even trying to give an answer to this question. You need to like phenomenologically bracket every single word and write a book explaining that they aren't even people. They aren't even conscious. They aren't even having "opinions". STEM people are like robots with human skin stretched over them. To say "they are dismissive of the humanities" is implicitly to admit I think there's a "they". STEM people don't even fucking exist. They are a statistical gaseous nebula of random particles wafting across continents and periodically expressing junk they picked up along the way. Why would you even talk to them?

Talking to a STEMfag is literally like being some kind of Buddha, ascending reality, then coming back down and talking to bees who were dudes in past lives. I'm sure these bee niggas can be saved or whatever, but let's just wait until they're back in human form. Don't walk around going "BEES, STOP BUZZING, PUT DOWN THAT POLLEN, LISTEN TO ME ABOUT HOW EVERY CONCEPTUAL CATEGORY YOU HAVE FOR EVEN THINKING OF THINGS WAS SHAPED FOR YOU BY AN UNCONSCIOUS SLUDGE OF MEMETIC POLYALLOY THAT FLOWS IN PREDICTABLE CURRENTS FROM YEAR TO YEAR THROUGH THE HIVE IN WHICH YOU WERE CONCEIVED"

Specific physiological phenomena correspond to specific subjective experience. There are an enormous amount of explanations offered for why this is true and to what extent it is true; in many ways it's the question of the times (ie, what is the relationship between material man and subjective man).

Even taking the most extreme view, in which consciousness is completely a material phenomenon, such statements as "love is chemistry" become specific instances of the more general "subjectivity is objectively constituted." How one gets from here to "meaningful things are meaningless" which is, in a nutshell, the rhetorical impact of such statements, is a topic for another day.

For my part I don't believe "subjectivity is objectively constituted" and I certainly don't think such a fact would lead, if it were true, to "meaningful things are in fact meaningless."

The NUTS anecdote from WW2 is the only anecdote I can think of right now that is confirmed to be true, and is still very amusing.

that's genius

My favorite fake anecdote is the meeting of Diogenes and Alexander.

My favorite one that might be real is Cleopatra being brought before Caesar rolled up in a carpet. It's such a silly yet great idea, I want to believe Plutarch did not just had the idea himself.

Do it as a hobby?

>having ambitions in the first place

>just live by the day
That is a sure fire way to live a fucked up, miserable, and short life. You should always be planning ahead, always be improving yourself and always working towards some type of goal.
There is no type of eternal hell to punish you if you don't do this, but the universe you live in will become a sort of hell if you allow your agency to be removed from your life.

If this is the only life you have, at least have a good one.

勝者による敗者の裁判は、どれほど司法的な体裁を整えてみても、決して公正なものではあり得ない。
―― ロバート・A・タフト米国上院議員
一九四六年十月五日
The trial of the vanquished by the victors cannot be impartial no matter how it is hedged about with the forms of justice.
- Senator Robert A. Taft,
October 5, 1946
戦争を交えている二国間においては、その戦闘員のいずれかが宣伝に訴えることによって、世論を自分に有利に仕向けようとする危険が必ず存在している。その宣伝において種々の事件 ― 悲しいかなこれはすべての戦争から分離することはできない ― は偏見と感情を激昂させ、戦いの係争点を曖昧にしてしまう特別の目的のために拡大され、曲解されるのである。
―― チャールス・アディス卿
一九三八年十一月十日、英国チャタムハウスにて
Between two countries at war there was always a danger that one or other of the combatants would seek to turn public opinion in his favour by resort to a propaganda in which incidents, inseparable alas (!) from all hostilities, were magnified and distorted for the express purpose of inflaming prejudice and passion and obscuring the real issues of the conflict.
- Sir Charles Addis at Chatham House,
November 10, 1938

my turn

Ten years have passed since the end of the Cold War, and the world is now in the midst of turmoil and crisis. In order to keep the scarcely maintained world peace, the role of the continued Japan-U.S. friendship and alliance is unshakable. Throughout the Cold War era and up to the present day, there has been some serious friction recorded, especially in the area of trade relative to the export of textiles and steel, also in the area of discussions as to increasing Japan's defense capabilities, and to restructuring of Japan's economic system. However, these items of discussion have been, without exception, items of national interest. Both nations, Japan and U.S., have tried to mutually resolve the problems and to reach the satisfactory resolutions and these efforts and achievements are universally recognized.
