History is the creator of all things.
History is needed to learn all things.
It is the number one subject.
It's practically the most fun, too.

Nobody actually gets jobs related to their degree these days.

As long as it shows you're intelligent, you should be good for a wide variety of jobs.

Anyone here whos done a degree in it, what are you now up to? Can you make a decent career out of it. Not OP but curious

Stalin believed in Hitler because of the pact they had.

If he declared war on Germany before operation Barbarossa then the 3rd Reich would die quick.

He was scared and didnt want to believe it. Sometime in september or october he went to his dacha and locked himself in until the other party leaders came and begged him to come back, which tells you he was insecure and knew that he had fucked up and was expecting to be deposed for the disaster.

The actual history is much less clear than you're making it out to be. Yes, it took him by surprise, but he was far from the only one who found an attack - especially a devastating one - implausible. The Red Army and the industrial capabilities backing it was in place in all of the borderlands, the high command can be forgiven for thinking that the defences were strong enough to contain any attack.

Would history have been different if he'd anticipating Barbarossa? Maybe a little, but not by much. The communication and command structure within the Red Army was attrocious, not even the Winter War had learned them that lesson so I doubt they could do all the necessary improvements in time.

I prefer cold and windy desu. My favorite time of year is the second week or so of November when we get our first real snow; it's blustery and overcast but still warm enough to be wet instead of frozen solid.

God I hate summer

like the swings of a pendulum the seasons represent the irreversible passage of time

every second of life is finite yet because of this infinitely precious, our lives will end, as the universe inevitably marches towards heat death and loses entropy all this will never happen again and if not it will repeat over and over for eternity, which is more harrowing I do not know, everything is our last chance yet we are trapped in mediocrity and most of our efforts are futile, you try to accomplish something and you fear you are wasting your time, you indulge in hedonism and you fear you are wasting your life, there is no escape from this kafkaesque horror and all the time the clock is ticking

Fucking hate summer. Love autumn and winter

Its 18:23 here and I dont want to think (i am a night owl). Fuck summer

Because metaphysics claims to be a science, while explaining nothing whatsoever

Yup. It's also a pure coincidence that jews dominate high intellect demanding jobs like lawyers and financiers and are disproportionately represented as Nobel winners. Has nothing to do with them having the highest iq. Just a luck of a draw lol!

EVERYTHING is an accident of history and if you disagree you're just a dumb storm weenie :^)

Why do people parade Interstellar like it's the next 2001: A Space Odyssey?

I's a good movie, yeah, but I've never saw it as something revolutionary.

Care to explain?

When Jesus says, "Don't be an asshole." Do that.

Choose the reading that gives you the least amount of cognitive dissonance.

that's only because they were too busy slaughtering each other

That's only because Japan's first foreign war was a fucking disaster that they focused inwards.

And boy did they fucked their own shit up internally,

>>1482907
Good fortifications and a charismatic leader. The fact that the British fucked up badly didn't hurt either. When the secondary force was supposed to be landed, the ship was on the wrong side of the river and some miles away so they never arrived.

>destroy the cultures capable of progressing humanity?

Do you think "progress" is a uniquely WASP phenomena, Nigel?

>>1482820
culture is not an amorphous blob there are lots of different ideas, some superficial, some good, some bad

reason and capitalism are the principle ideas of the west, because they are the source of their success they have become self-perpetuating and spread throughout the rest of the world like wildfire, most upheavals are a reaction against it or the result of its disruptions, most immigrants arrive in the west as a result of these ideas getting into their heads, though they may carry with them many superficial spooks and memes that go against reason, when it comes to important things like obtaining a comfortable life they leap at it

>>1482828

If we don't know what matter is does that prove God is real?

Why do theists force a whole pseudo-metaphysics around God when they can't even tell us what God is?
