Even if the entirety of existence is merely an illusion conjured up by your own mind you can exert no real conscious control over it.
You will never be able to know if any possible brain in a jar scenario is true or false as the concept is pretty much unfalsifiable.
It offers no useful predictions and all other theories are still capable of making useful predictions that line up with this imaginary world.

You ultimately can't refute it but you can still choose to not care about its' possibility.

Also, God.
If a benevolent God exists, like that of Christianity, then reality as a whole also exists. It's the only way to escape Descartes' nightmare.

Both of the above replies.

He wasn't that very bad, mostly incompetent I believe.

Maybe this will give you some insight.

But on his defence:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaOFPzNfXmA
He was very well aware of what is going out, certainly.

First they deposed his dad, elevated Mossadeq, then toppled him and gave power to son, then fund the fanaticism against Persia-Iran... Did it turned out against them or out to expecations?

Pahlavi, original one wanted to be like Ataturk, but they never gave him ;_;.
He was always around the poor and rurals, whilst his son was in the palaces and the richer part. Kinda lost the idea of why they got rid of Turkic Qajars.
But even the shit dynasty like Saudis had their Faisal - who was killed and is responsible for most of the modernisation they even did in most of existence

Pretty cool

Because Greece is a shithole with nothing going for it, the population aren't much related to the ancients except by the language, they have no good history for the last 2000 years, so all they can cling onto is the ancients.

At least its real though, unlike slavs and blacks who just make shit up

>>1407640
Greek history is pretty great they should be proud of it nothing wrong in that

>>1407686
>being proud in shit you have nothing to do with
what's next you're going to be proud in the specific subjective interpretation of the brain to the outside stimuli of reality?
you're going to be proud of the fundamental laws of the universe?
in the product of DNA sequencing?
be proud in something that actually points to your virtuous as a living human being not to ideal concepts that are influenced by nothing but ego masturbation and inferiority complex.

Mmm. I'm torn on Ismay. I don't think it's wrong for him to want to live, and no one can begrudge him that.

I think the reason the contemporary and modern reaction to Ismay surving is so visceral for several reasons.

1) Ismay was not an ordinary passenger. He was the acting director of the White Star line, and was acting in an official capacity while the ship was sinking through certain actions such as when he relieved women of their duties (he even forced several female crew members into the boats, saying 'you are just women, not crew, now'). Is he crew, or passenger? He seemed to have wanted it both ways.

2) Multiple eyewitness accounts make it credible that the circumstances surrounding loading this lifeboat were not peaceful, orderly or calm. Ismay repeatedly insisted that there were 'no passengers left to fill the boat' (yet by multiple accounts, certainly there were) and that it was not chaotic (despite reports from multiple people of gunshots, needing to form human link chains so they could get women and children onto the boat, and so on). He seemed to want to downplay his choice by amending the circumstances--"It didn't matter that I got on because there weren't passengers aren't and it was so calm!"

3) The unfairness of it. If the 14 year old bellboys were deemed "adult crew/adult men" and couldn't get onto a lifeboat, why should Ismay be allowed a spot so easily?

It didn't help that Ismay's behavior and decisions after the sinking didn't endear him to the victims' families or eyes of the public.

I feel compelled to post that last week I went to a museum and saw the actual violin Wallace Hartley played as the ship went down. Eerie as hell.

>1. What was Napoleons aim in all his wars? was it European unification?

No. After the French Revolution, every monarchy in Europe became an enemy of the French. He was trying to defeat them to force them to recognize the French Republic.

>2. Did Hitler want to unify all Europe under a fascist Regime?

Unclear. According to his own rhetoric, he just wanted to unite all "Germans," who just so happened to live in various foreign countries.

>3. Why is it always the English who are opposed to any dominate power in Europe but never seek to gain land within Europe and become the continental power?

They have never had the strength to do that.

Its location makes it hard to be attacked but also hard to attack other countries

“For I am I: ergo, the truth of myself; my own sphinx, conflict, chaos, vortex—asymmetric to all rhythms, oblique to all paths. I am the prism between black and white: mine own unison in duality.”

Fortifications are much, much older than that. They predate history. The oldest settlements we even know about (Jericho, etc) were surrounded by walls.

>>1416194
true, but walls are one thing, im more interested in the developments in fortifications, such as the changing to rounded stone fortifications to defeat siege tactics, and the gradual decline of them as cannons rose in popularity.

We've used walls since civilisation began

because Mormonism is one of the few religions to be so fucking wrong we can be 100% certain it is wrong. even if the world is an illusion it's still wrong

>>1415686
It's the perfect American religion.

Other Christian sects generally have the bedrock of thousands of years of theological research.

You have a convicted criminal from Vermont.

>>1415686
Because it's not Christianity. You'd understand this if you weren't the kind of person that chooses religion for superficial lifestyle reasons.

Trench warfare was a nessesary evil. It was the worst tactic for the western front in WWI except all the other ones.

>>1415611
Because the doctrines of the worlds powers hadent changed, and that alot of military theorists didnt see the civil war as represenative of wars that would be fought in europe

Nobody expected or wanted trench warfare when the war began, most military experts thought that the speed of both the mobilization and movement of the troops would mean that the faster side would win, and fairly quickly... but then everyone was too fast, nobody got the upper hand, and so trench warfare it was.

Because in communism everyone is supposed to live well. The fact that they didn't, makes people think that it wasn't communism. Also they don't know what communism really is.

because the state, wages and class divisions still existed

>>1415296
because it's only real communism if there isn't a genocide and/or famine
