At first glance I thought that was a row of Mosins being worshipped

I wanna keep it

Prod it.

Call to the police.
Century old explosives are really dangerous.
>>1378277
There's no explosive in there, at least not in the sense of the actual artillery shell. If anything ever happened it would just make sparks. You're fine.
Intellectuals have had a big hateboner for Aristotle since the 17th century, but has there ever been a thinker who contributed more to western thinking and the fundamentals of science? And his works continue to be relevant in many fields.
> but has there ever been a thinker who contributed more to western thinking and the fundamentals of science?
Bacon, Hume, Popper
>his works continue to be relevant
lol
>>1378269
Dear anon, here is a thought experiment: without this Aristotle how much thinking and fundamentals of science would not be as it is today.
I think the contribution to Western thinking is more integrated into our culture psyche as it is to science from this man Aristotle.
>>1378291
All respond explicitly to his work. Without Aristotle there would be no enlightenment because there would be no theory so comprehensive and compelling to merit such a response.
The earliest specimens to be found of the genus homo were found in Ethiopia and are about 3,000,000 years old. The earliest specimens to be found of homo sapiens specifically were also found in Ethiopia and are about 200,000 years old. The scientific consensus is that homo erectus found its way out of Ethiopia and into Europe via Egypt and possibly through Yemen.
Tldr: We are all basically Ethiopians. That's our home. When thinking about this and how recently we actually left, don't you feel the urge to go visit? Not to see what is actually there primarily, but to imagine what was?
>>1378249
Haha, great post.
Well memed, friend.
>>1378247
Cool story, bro.
>>1378255
You left yourself wide open. But to answer your question, I wouldn't waste my time visiting a place just to imagine what was there.
The meaning of life is death. We are only alive so we can die.

danger and play is what women are and want [they want play = safe danger] and men want women, but only because women are the ultimate danger and play thing, so that when they believe to have dominated women, they feel valued. This is nice, but you can reach a life beyond this.
once you understand that men are not meant to be as good hedonist as women, you first acknowledge the superiority of women at the hedonistic life (which is just called life by men and women) and you see the misery of hedonism, either the direct hedonism of the woman, or the nihilistic fantasy of the delayed hedonism [hedonism of the will] of the man [the one that men advocate for, the one about engaging yourself into challenges after challenges, seeking merit, pursuing your passions, in one word still clinging to entertainment (typically to attract women sooner or later) to better turn away from their impotency at the hedonistic life..] created by men once they get beat by women.
Once you see the game as well as the noneffective masculine life, you lose faith in hedonism. At this point, you either see the solution or not {Nietzsche did not see it, or rather he did not claim explicitly that he saw it]: you strive to do the exact opposite of hedonism (either the masculine one or the feminine one): first you stop being nihilistic, in accepting what you are (it is crucial to be sincere about the starting point], meaning a worm, and in stopping to analyze the past to get a better future (= the strategy of men, which remains inside hedonism (even though they claim that it is not, and in practice is is clearly not), but even more nihilistic than the feminine hedonism, once they are beaten by women] and in stopping to take what you desire, feel and think seriously [=the hedonism of the woman, and the fueling of this hedonism by men].
>>1378056
Women are wrong for having faith in what they desire, in thinking that this is relevant to ones life
they are a bit wrong to let men spend their life trying to serve women.
Men are wrong to try to play with women, which is just serving women
men are wrong, after being defeated, to be resentful towards women
men are wrong to think, after being defeated, that the solution is to be even more nihilistic than women in dwelling in hedonism of the will
The lack of efficacy of the masculine life leads to a narcissism (contrary to men), but without egotism (contrary to women), a more equanimous and benevolent stance towards what is desired, felt and thought. At this point, you stop looking at hedonism of the body [=the feminine hedonism], turn towards hedonism of the soul [what religious call it], spirit, consciousness [what buddhists call it] [=the hedonism of the mild ascetic, the hedonism that most men fail to see and the one that women love to think that they embody (women love to think that they are not as egotistic as they are, that they embody a humanist stance)] and then you understand that even this is doomed to be disappointing, so you refuse it until you stop caring about this one too.
If god exists. Why should we care? We do not have an obligation to love him, do we? Out of pure authority? Is one obligated to love someone if they love you in return? Nonsense. Is there such thing as a nihilistic deist? If god gives you purpose, what is to stop you from rejecting that purpose?
Depends on which god you're talking about.
>>1377833
The traditional monotheistic judeo-christian god
>>1377837
Well in that case because if you don't he'll literally burn you for all eternity.
Was he right?
>>1377678
No.
Nigger, he litterally believed in magic.
>>1377678
Yes. About everything.
How did pic related become successful?
He seems like the opposite to everything that roac-- err I mean Turks stand for.
He was successful because he drove off the imperialists of France, Greece, and Britain and he rallied the people under Turkish nationalism.

also it must be noted that many of the educated people were soldiers. they had modern education and were quite useful in this chaos.
>muh modernization
also laicism to shut up the extremists and rabble rousers
Waico was an perfect example about what really is the State?

Waco was a good example of why acting belligerent with the authorities in a heavily armed nation can be a dangerous activity

The government did nothing wrong.

That day they was out spreading the word of Democracy and freedom?
Has it dawned on you, /his/, just how radical the Gospel is, and how revolutionary Christianity is? Christianity is so familiar that I think we miss how strange and alien its vision of the world is. If you compare what Jesus says to the way the world is oriented even now, even in a supposedly 'Christian' world, the two world-views are radically different. Do we really understand Christianity at all, /his/? Is anyone any more a true follower of Christ?
>>1377363
Isn't the basis of Christianity that mankind is inherently wicked and hopeless without God?
Where's the disconnect?
>>1377363
Your observation is correct.
if you dive a little deeper into just the smaller actions of early Christians, the church practices were mostly seen as fucking insane by the people.
during the earliest days, the Church required circumcision as mandatory for becoming Christian as they still kept with the Abrahamic Covenant.
Apparently telling 30+ year old men to slice off their foreskin with no anesthetic is not a fantastic way to get many takers for your new religion, and the circumcision requirement was only done away with after decades of debate.
What do you think of vaporwave? I think its related because its posmodern, retro and sociologically and philosphically analizable
>Vaporwave has been described as "a degrading of commercial music" in an attempt to reveal the "false promises" of capitalism. Music writer Adam Harper of Dummy Mag describes Vaporwave as "ironic and satirical or truly accelerationist"; noting that the name "Vaporwave" itself is both a nod to vaporware, and the idea of libidinal energy being subjected to relentless sublimation under capitalism.
>Critic Simon Reynolds has characterized Daniel Lopatin's Chuck Person project as "relat[ing] to cultural memory and the buried utopianism within capitalist commodities, especially those related to consumer technology in the computing and audio/video entertainment area".
>情報デスクVIRTUAL (Jouhou Desuku VIRTUAL), the alias of Vektroid, describes her album 札幌コンテンポラリー (Sapporo Contemporary) as "a brief glimpse into the new possibilities of international communication" and "a parody of American hypercontextualization of e-Asia circa 1995."
>Music educator Grafton Tanner argued in his 2016 book Babbling Corpse: Vaporwave and the Commodification of Ghosts that vaporwave is a rebellion against rampant, uncontrolled capitalism, particularly surrounding its treatment of nostalgia.

Also, kill yourself.

Sorry if my english aint perfect

there's a board for music, m8
vaporwave is shit btw
So, I've heard here that there are English Bible translations that are a bit more enjoyable to read than the King James Version, and I've been meaning to get around to reading the Bible. Would /his/ have any recommendations on this front?
>>1377184
The KJV is the most enjoyable imo but it lacks material from the Dead Sea Scrolls.
The RSV is good.
>>1377211
Call me a pleb, but I found the KJV pretty impenetrable. The language was clear, but a massive chore to read.
>>1377216
You are a pleb. Also I don't understand; was the language impenetrable or clear?
The search for God is useless, we can know anything beyond materialistic phenomena. Our Laws and Logic only uphold in our reality. Anything beyond this reality is Trivial. So why do people still try to prove/disprove him?
The morality of Hell can only be reconciled if God actually left clues people just chose to ignore. If such a being were actually not provable, Hell would be even more cruel than it already is.

His existence or lack thereof would tell us a lot about the human condition and our greater purpose.

>The first signs of a particle heavier than the Higgs boson was seen at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) back in December.
Unexplained by current models, its existence might lead to the discovery of a whole new set of particles and possibly even a fifth fundamental force.
The Standard Model claims everything in the universe is made from the most basic building blocks called fundamental particles, that are governed by four forces: gravity, electromagnetic, weak nuclear and strong nuclear.
The forces work over different ranges and have different strengths.
This new particle, if it exists, would not fit into the description given by the Standard Model and so would lead to a whole new area of particle physics for them to explore.
How historically accurate is the bible? Is it true one of Solomon's bastard kids became an Ethiopian king?
>>1376908

Go away Luther.

Utterly faultless.
Why doesn't anyone talk about Arab colonialism and slavery?
They were the ones who began to truly reach for global colonialism and massive slavery.
>>1376819
Why doesn't anyone bring up Roman, Greek and Persian colonialism? They're far in the past.
>>1376865
Why doesn't anyone bring up Assyrian colonialism?
>>1376883
That's even further.
