Neither

>>1462343

He actually did though. Logics are formal systems of reasoning, abstracted from any real content, and based solely on terms. Aristotle was the first person to invent a system of logic. Who invented a system of logic before Aristotle ?

How come Germany has historically made the worst allies they could conceivably make given the diplomatic resources of the given time period?
5 posts and 1 images submitted.

I mean, they kind of had to ally themselves with central european meme countries like Austria-Hungary due to the similar circumstances of being sandwiched between France and the Russian Empire.

One has to wonder why they didn't become homies with the Brits. Was it because the Germans wanted to establish an overseas empire too, and the Germans' ambitions for a huge warfleet to support/protect that empire made the British empire feel uneasy?

People who are more familiar with the era; why didn't the Krauts and Limeys buttfuck each other?

They had a good thing going with Russia for a long time, the Holy Alliance/League of three emperors.

>trusting the British
Yeah because that turned out well for everyone who did it.
Also because Britain had an antagonistic disposition towards Germany's increasing industry.

Don't forget Wilhelm II completely fucking over Bismarck's web of diplomacy.

The only humanities students who don't graduate straight into barista school end up filling HR departments, where they continue to pester the actually contributing members of society. The only purpose liberal arts seems to serve as a way for normalshits to continue to impose social norms on nerds after high school.

I'm a /hist major, and I like anime, am a virgin, and am socially inept. And I have no real direction in life too.

Honestly, that lib arts image probably best describes business majors. Just add "Douchebag" to the list, and remove the first two.

Am I doing anything wrong? I don't want to be one of those pseuds who talks about philosophy solely by worshiping famous people and saying nothing of substance. I'm a skeptic ffs. I literally cannot see how dozens of philosopher king wank fantasy pages can enlighten me.

>inb4 but he influenced so much

Either he influenced so much that I don't need to read him or you tell me right now why you haven't read the Bible, Torah, Qur'an, harry potter, and game of thrones. I pick neither of those options btw.

The masterpieces of Plato are Republic, Parmenid, Phaedo, Timaeus if you didn't read these dialogs, you didn't really read Plato.
>>
>>1462294

Plato is a master of the western cannon. His works, though at times long, seem to shoot off the page at great speed.

Truly, reading such an explosive mind is, in a way, like stockpiling ammunition against ignorance.

After reading Plato, the walls of ignorance will crumble under the explosive strength of his tightly fused arguments.

How much of todays crime is drug related? Most of it? Most criminal syndicates revolve around drug importing and manufacturing.

I remember reading somewhere that during the prohibition era alchahol cartels in mexico would do what they are doing today with the drug cartels (very violent practices) some of these cartels are now legitimate buissnesses as the prohibition was ended.

When will governments realise drug use is not a crime, but a mental health issue and an illness. When will they stop punishing these peoples with the same degree as murderers and kidnappers?

What would the world look like if all illicit drugs were no longer illicit?

>inb4 everyone would be on drugs
That's wrong. There are people who don't drink and smoke. I know people who grew up most of their lives in Amsterdam but have never tried weed as they see the negative effects as worse than the positives. Drugs do not suddenly make everyone want to do drugs.

There is also the huge postivie of them being billion dollar industries, even on the black market. Legal drugs = less taxes, so long as the govt's successfully regulate that is.

Drugs should be legal. State has no right to protect you from yourself, and drug control is a resounding failure.

???

>>1462268
If, hypothetically, widespread drug abuse were to have a large negative societal impact, than the state has a responsibility to intervene.

Well... motions doesn't into real entirely.

You see, it's not that light speed is the fastest speed there is, it's that only photons travel at the speed of speed. There is a good reason it's depicted as 'c', it's just speed. Everything else is slowed down, most things we can perceive are slowed to the material level.

Well... yeah. Their velocity is the same, 10mph, but their speed relative to each other is 20mph.

Simples.

Lotta stuff going on in this one. Battlefield in center, cannons, cavalry and pikemen meet, soldiers locked in the embrace of death. Foreground, the dead and mangled, looted by a victorious enemy (note the empty purse). Right, a burning and plundered (barrels) town, murdered civilians, crows arrive to feast. Left, a soldier (likely the artist?) throws his head back and drowns himself in wine.
