Is there any possibility we will see a widespread return to Monarchy, /his/? Despotism seems to be an inherent part of society, and we've seen authoritarian governments assume Monarch-like powers in the past century or so.

I don't think it is likely, nor do I desire it. The thought just crossed my mind today.

I wouldn't gladly die for anything, because I'm scared of being dead.

Freedom to think and say whatever I want, and the freedom to disagree. Those are things I hold to be very important.

South Italy was colonized by berbers at first when it was uninhabited, and migrants from the Fertile Crescent later. In central Italy there was Etruscans who were originate in Anatolia. Since Rome is in the middle of these, I guess there were not much different.

How should the understanding of free speech change when we realize that citizens have limitations on theie ability to recieve information?
There simply is no time and interest for most people to get really informed on a subject and it cannot be expected of them.

1)not all people can get informed enough on a subject to be able to reject false and dangerous ideas.
2)people have cognitive biases making them susepctible to certain persuasion tactics.
3)certain ideas, even when based on complete lies, can do and will cause certain idividuals to become violent and even kill others.

In some sense the idea of completely free speech is akin to the idea of a completely unregulated market that will somehow sort itself out to the benefit of all.
The problem is that the final ideally sortned point of a market and the ideal point of a perfeclty informed citizenry never comes and the the road to this unreachable goal is full of fluctuations that endanger human life and property.

On another note, do you think the correctness or truth of an idea is related to how fitting it is with methods of persuasion? I.e. if an idea is persuasive it might still be said to be "correct"
in some context even when the arguments are based on factually incorrect information.

If that is your argument we should live the free market another look since unregulated speech is working out pretty well in the long term.
>>
It's not practical to try to squelch free speech. Unless you have some omnipresent censor able instantly analyze and interpret the "value" of all speech everywhere, the most practical policy is to allow free speech except under certain explicit circumstances. Not to mention if your power in any way stems from the will of the people, and they resent heavy-handed censorship, you are taking a gamble they will put up with you. Now if your power doesn't stem from the will of the people, just prohibit all speech, I suppose.

Really? so isis spamming propoganda and persuading teens to go fight for it is ok? /pol/ neo nazi fabricated photographs and false quotes are ok?

This all results in violence.
In what sense is it working out? In the sense that we have not destroyed the human race?

What if Kublai Khan's mongol invasions of Japan in either 1274 and 1281 weren't screwed over by a Typhoon and were successful in attacking the Japanese?

That was because silly nips were accustomed to dueling and calling out their opponents during war, not an all out melee free for all.

Did PTSD exist in ancient times? Kere there Aztec and Spartan and Persian warriors who witnessed the horrors of war, and just sort of became depressed and reclusive, or otherwise mentally messed up?

Woulda, for example, a warrior who was horrified at the sight of his comrades being chopped in half get a panic attack at the sight of a butcher slaughtering an animal? Just to make a sort of correlation to the picture here.

Or were warriors known for any kind of reclusion or depression after experiencing combat?

I would have to assume yes, since people werent much different back then. Is there any documentation, either from ancient times or later, that speaks about this sort of thing?

Not ancient, but here's some relevant Shakespeare:

Hotspur’s wife, Kate, was complaining about her husband’s regular involvement in mortal combats and his consequent odd behaviour:

O, my good lord, why are you thus alone?

For what offence have I this fortnight been

A banish’d woman from my Harry’s bed?

Tell me, sweet lord, what is’t that takes from thee

Thy stomach, pleasure and thy golden sleep?

Why dost thou bend thine eyes upon the earth,

And start so often when thou sit’st alone?

Why hast thou lost the fresh blood in thy cheeks;

And given my treasures and my rights of thee

To thick-eyed musing and curst melancholy?

In thy faint slumbers I by thee have watch’d,

And heard thee murmur tales of iron wars;

Speak terms of manage [horsemanship] to thy bounding steed;

Cry ‘Courage! to the field!’ And thou hast talk’d

Of sallies and retires, of trenches, tents,

Of palisadoes, frontiers, parapets,

Of basilisks, of cannon, culverin,

Of prisoners’ ransom and of soldiers slain,

And all the currents of a heady fight.

Thy spirit within thee hath been so at war,

And thus hath so bestirr’d thee in thy sleep,

That beads of sweat have stood upon thy brow

Like bubbles in a late-disturbed stream;

And in thy face strange motions have appear’d,

Such as we see when men restrain their breath

On some great sudden hest. O, what portents are these?

Some heavy business hath my lord in hand,

And I must know it, else he loves me not.

I'm sure they did. It would have probably been less of a shock to them though as:
A. There were no explosives, gunpowder etc. War was on a more perceptible/manageable scale for the human mind, usually 1on1 combat.
B. The average person probably grew up a lot more exposed to combat and danger in general, compared to your average Westerner.

I still reckon they had something of the sort though.

Is this even a real book?
