I've heard many times that the native people of South Africa, known as Khoisans or Ottentots didn't have a language and still don't have an actual one, they used clicks rather than actual human sounds, so it was basically just a really simple language, a series of clicks, "Clingon", I think that's the name of their language.
What do you guys think about this?
>>1351792
Yes OP
Yes
The khoisan don't have a language
Just a series of sounds which represent ideas & things and a strict pattern of rules to give more precise ideas from person to person
Yes
Not language
Just a means of verbal communication between humans
Silly

Some of South African black languages have clicks as well.
This literally is the South African president, not even joking.

Am I right when saying scientific advancements such as the Age of Enlightenment, the Renaissances, and the Scientific Revolution would have never happened if not for the majority of Europe uniting under Christianity?
If not for that, then most European nations would be too separated and hostile due to the multitude of pagan religions each peoples after the Roman Empire fell had.
I'm tired of hearing that Christianity held back science.
>>1351572
Europe never united under Christianity. Europe never united. The Romans kind of did it, Napoleon kind of did it.
Christianity helped bring about scientific advancement such as those in another way. The continual conflict over the faith brought such mad warfare to Europe that science simply had to progress. The age of Enlightenment happened because much of Europe broke away from the traditional Christian ideas.

>If not for that, then most European nations would be too separated and hostile due to the multitude of pagan religions each peoples after the Roman Empire fell had.
Sans pagan religions: literally what happened in europe during the 1500s to the 1600s, in which differences in Christian interpretation came to play.
>>1351572
Most European nations were too separate and hostile.
It's only after the two world wars do we see a united europe. OH WAIT NO, THERE WAS STILL THE COLD WAR.
So it's only today do we see a united euro-

Well shit, it was never united.

Is there a value in practicing asceticism even if you're an atheist?
>Asceticism (/əˈsɛtJsJzəm/; from the Greek: ἄσkησις áskesis, "exercise" or "training") is a lifestyle characterized by abstinence from worldly pleasures, often for the purpose of pursuing spiritual goals (Wikipedia)
Interestingly, a minimalism movement/aesthetic have grown out of rising capitalism. Is that a sign asceticism has or will have a place in modern society? An alternative lifestyle focusing on the higher things of life such as philosophical questions. Naturally a hipster minimalist facade is not ascetic but perhaps it's a wind in that direction at least.
Personally I've been attracted to asceticism for years and I'm not entirely sure why, maybe it's just masochism, but it does feel less hypocritical and more cleansing.
Stoicism has nothing to do with belief in gods. So sure.

If you could give a title to the contemporary world (read: post WW II), what would it be?
I would name it:
>Of slaves and whores: the death of dignity
I would name it simply, The 2010s.
The last days
>>1351011
fair enough but I was thinking more of something that could give a sense of this era to future generations who didn't know it.
For instance, if someone told you yeah there was this era called "the 1350s" you wouldn't get the same feel as "the dark ages"

Was he right or just autistic?
There's plenty of more interesting reactionary thinkers than Evola but you autists just keep making the exact same threads over and over and over, there's two fucking threads about Evola on the first page right now, apparently him and Marx are the only two people /his/ knows about fuck.
>>1350619
He was a dirty fucking revisionist
As the title goes, I'd like a hand with identifying the title of a painting.
I believe it depicts a man clutching a dead or wounded person, facing in the general direction of the viewer. The dead person is to the viewer's right of the main subject.
In a (perhaps superficial) colour palette and stylistic way, it reminds me of Saturn Devouring, shown here. Especially, the prominent eyes, but while Saturn looks animalistic, the subject I'm looking for looks despairing.
I also believe that the face is more detailed than Saturn's, but I could be misremembering.
I'm not even certain about the composition of the painting.

Human nature according to God.

But does such an entety exists?
>>1350518
Such a human to live like Jesus did, very unlikely - maybe some people imitate somewhat his exact behavior on earth but they are able to do so only in desert or forests all alone without social poisoning.
The point is that God took human body - to show humans how they should live, behave, think like.
