If you come here to box a Kangaroo, we will find and we will kill you. It's actually sickening.

hello butthurt ruskie from /int/

did an australian fuck your gf or something?

Australian here,
There was nothing to trade,Australia is a desert nation the early ducth explorers even didn't want to settle here because there was nothing of value.no green lands etc

>>1385058
THis is besides the point when the native inhabitants aren't even trading with each other.

Why do people think Australia is the same as the world? Their peoples were able to live in the same state for 40 fucking thousand years because they were provided with everything they needed to a degree which allowed them to stay stagnant.

Why would people trade when they can walk a couple hundred meters literally right up to a kangaroo and throw a stick at it killing it? Repeat for thousands of years.

OK then, but that doesn't really explain why there were no attempts to settle the coasts.

Are there no coasts with vegetation nearby or places to plant sweet-potatoes or trees to make fishing boats out of?

We are already nearing the end of the post post modern era

No, it's not coming to an end. We are eternally stuck in the post modern age.

>>1385020
So what exactly is post-postmodernism then? What are its characteristics?
If we are nearing the end of it as you say then we should know it enough to describe it.

It survived for a long time because of the weight of the name 'Venice' and then the French realized that they were weak bitches and it was destroyed.

> Thirty members of the Great Council, chosen by lot, were reduced by lot to nine; the nine chose forty and the forty were reduced by lot to twelve, who chose twenty-five. The twenty-five were reduced by lot to nine and the nine elected forty-five. Then the forty-five were once more reduced by lot to eleven, and the eleven finally chose the forty-one who actually elected the doge.

Maybe not, but he definitely did the wrong thing by spending a third of his country's annual budget for his coronation when he could have used it for more productive means.

>>1384869
I mean, yeah, but when 20 million $ is a third of your annual budget then it's not hard to do that.

You should check out Maimonides's work, especially a guide to the perplexed.

Although, I should warn you, despite it being a "student tier" book by Maimonides's own standards, he pretty much assumes you have the entire OT and Talmud more or less memorized, so it can be tough to get through if you don't have a thorough background in Judaica.


And you get pieces of that in the Gemara itself, but just due to the rambling nature of the texts, never really concentrated in any one area, just various arguments as to the nature of reality scattered hither and yon.

this is actually a good thread that deserves a response

im only able to contribute that i feel a pretty unpleasant cognitive dissonance as long as im not able to formulate precisely what bothers me about a certain issue

its like feeling dishonest because you are bothered while not even knowing what your exact problem is

>To do it correctly one has to write ellequently and be able to express himself precisely while relying on established philosophic terminology and history.
Read pic related.

Literally impossible to do what you are asking, at least with English. Writing something and expecting to be understood in something such as philsophy is pointless and that book will explain why.

It's also a fun read which touches on a few instances in history which happened a certain way because of the way words are so easily misused and misunderstood.

But this is why I mentioned intuitions.
It is exactly when you are not clear, not specific that intuition comes into play.
When you describe a yearning, a confusion, a desire that is somewhat general and yet and because of that is relevant and inspiring and interesting.
Imagine a person that does not know your language but wants to convey to you the wonderful feeling he gets when looking at the stars at night.
He cannot relate it to you using clear words but through gesticulations, body movement, , and noises you can understand what he refers to and it inspires you to also feel something majestic about the stars as you look at them with him but you do it in your own way and yet you both refer to the same wonder or awe.

In our case, we do speak and understand the same language but we dont necessarily require linguistic complexity when trying to point at something unclear.
Like a demonstration of people calling for change. they dont know the causes of their misery but they can express though their actions and emotions that something particular is bothering them, they jsut dont know EXACTLY how to articulate it in the proper jargon.

The alleged "war crimes" are still fairly controversial in some schools of mainstream academia.

What about the male-model assassin part?

>>1384488
Nah
I mean did you see lee Harvey, the archdukes killer, or Booth
Not really male model material

OP here, shameless bump. No love for psychology aye? I think that snobbishness/egotism is too similar to agreeableness. The other ones seem good.

I myself thought of risk averse -/- risk-taking too. A book on animal personality talks of bold vs shy, I would consider that risk averse vs risk-taking.

> it it seems to be the best we have so far
Socionics is better as it tends to focus on traits more objectively unified by neural system works than on unified by lingustic descriptions.
> What traits do you think are missing?
The point of factor analysis isn't to find quadrillion psychological traits, but to simplify quadrillions of them into a small number of properties. That way each trait and its impact could be proven without huge doubt. For example, conservativeness could be factored with closeness to experience, as you are close to changes as conservative person, you can add here risk-aversion also. Now you got just one quality to work instead of three. So, question here isn't about what missing, but about what can't be reduced to what is already here.

>>1384181
>Socionics
Bit spooky to be honest as it incorperates Carl "Spooky boy" Jung. I see it catched on in Russia. Something to look into anyway.
>So, question here isn't about what missing, but about what can't be reduced to what is already here.
Interesting. I suppose you are right and the Wikipedia also mentioned this.

So instead of expanding it, one should see if alternative traits do not instead correlate with the ones already there. If not, perhaps they do deserve to be added?

Yes.

>>1383766
Yes but they also had less hair because their endocrine systems weren't fucked up by processed sugars and birth control pills.

Yes, but women are generally less hairy than men. Also pretty much only their husbands actually saw their naked legs.

>Is there any prof to my theory?
Making a theory and then searching for evidence to support it is irrational unless you have an agenda to push. Make your theories based around existing evidence.

>>1384442
conduct research before posting about research methods next time okay pal

Does this not go beyond arts? I think the overall cultural trend is towards minimalism, ever since we rejected the golden mean of hellenism/aristocracy. Minimalism is a way of reintroducing moderation into the dominant populist/democratic zeitgeist, but under the guise of modesty instead of discipline/breeding (which we rejected with the revolution).

So, why exactly do you guys think that the pronunciation of the tetragrammaton has been lost? When did this supposed loss happen?

>>1370062
To my knowledge, we acknowledge the tetragrammaton pronunciation, but stick to using the name Jehovah cause it's more widely known (so they claim).

>>1370071

Oh, interesting. I guess that having people shout at you from streetsides isn't the best way to pick up the creed.

By the way, what caused you to be mentally out of the group?
