Finally finished reading this book. Tbh I liked it, even though I think it could have been shorter. How does history view Ayn Rand and her philosophy? What is wrong with following your dreams and pursuing your freedom? I can say, at least for myself, that I'm not a tool of the government and that I will fight for my future to realize my,and Ayn Rand's, dream of freedom.
I think that it's a perfect "what if" scenario if the Soviets won the Cold War. So, /his/, why does this book get so much shit?

What lead to the Kuomintang to be pushed out of power ideologically and to be replaced with a Maoist personality cult? Military it was obvious, the Chinese Republic was exhausted from its campaigns against the Japanese, but what lead the people to ideologically support the communists?

-Corruption, a lot of it.
-Economic pressure
-Bold head can't manage a nation.
-Bold head wants to kill of CCP once and for all, again.(failed, if not oblivious)
-Communists ideology appeals to the common masses(free school, land, food,etc.)
-Mao is more appealing to the masses at the time.
Result:RAVALOTION!!!!

>Kuomintang
They were extremely corrupt and their message didn't really appeal to the bajillions of peasant masses that the commies could mobilize.

The KMT started off as one of a number of warlord movements that gripped China in the 1910s-20s. Even after "winning" and ascending to the rule of China, they never really shook that warlord model of administration. They had a core corridor running roughly from Shanghai to Chonquing (or however you spell it) and everything else they just set up people in place and expected tribute of arms and money and troops from time to time.

They were really more akin to a feudalistic government, with a high king exerting influence over vassal kings, rather than a modern state which actually directly rules its territory.

This weak form of governance leads to lots of power vacuums, which the Communists eventually filled.

A procces of viewing history by analyzing how societies and classes create ideas and how those ideas generate actions through the material condtions they are placed in.

You know, what is three principles of dialectic? Begin at this.

Did Hinduism have any influence on the Abrahamic religions? I'm asking because many mythological elements from Hinduism can be found in the Abrahamic religions (such as the obbsession with the number 12).

You guys know way more than me about this. Can someone explain the controversy surrounding the lack of Hieroglyphics in the Great Pyramids of Giza? I thought it was tinfoil hat stuff till I actually searched for them. If you type in "Pyramids of Giza hieroglyphics" you get dozens of slabs of script and every damn bit of it says "lala Abydos Temple" and "western cemetary near Pyramid.." etc. The only image I can find that claims to be from the Great pyramid is pic-related. Is it from inside the pyramid? What the hell is that supposed to be? Enlighten a neophyte like me. What is wrong with Egyptology? Are those that say the Pyramids weren't tombs tinfoil hats?

Those are the legendary eggplants of Giza, they put snakes inside the giant eggplants and made them fight to see which snake was the best at killing so they knew what snake breed to pick when they were going to kill Cleopatra later on.

those ar elightbulbs

Even the msot retarded subhuman piece of human filth would recognize that.

Of course the human wastes known as archarologists don't recognize that because it's muh symbolism.


Yes, guess what you fucking retards, the fact that it has a meaning beyond its material purpose doesn't mean it's not a lightbulb for fuck sake.

And I'm not implying the presence of ALiens in ancient Egypt or some other x bullshit.

I'm just saying it's likely they had light bulbs for the corridors or doing "magic" tricks or whatever.

Yeah, it looks like that, but are these from the pyramids? I see this image but it's like they pretend all this egyptian hieroglyphic imagery is from the pyramids but absolutely none of it is. Are there hieroglyphics in the pyramids?

Literally why is anyone, Muslim or otherwise, stupid enough to take the Hadiths as legitimate Historical records/Religious writings?

Many things like the Nahjul Balagha (sermons of Ali) were firsthand accounts, and many narrations come from Muhammad's family.

This is a gross oversimplification of the complexity of Hadith authenticity. While we should be very scrutinous with Hadiths, it doesn't mean much of it isn't true.

Also compilation =! Originally written. Bukhari may have compiled some hadiths but those existed before he compiled them. Though the Umayyads were self-serving and did distort much of the Sunna

But the earliest ones were written down around the same time it was compiled.

And while members of Muhammad's family are narrators, they are cited by a subnarrator who is cited in a chain. It's still a game of Telephone with Arab peasants no matter how much effort you use to collect them. It's folklore. And treating it as anything more than that is rediculous. Fair point on The Peak of Eloquence.

But there's no way of knowing if that was actually Ali who gave the sermons or if it was the handiwork of one of the many Ghulat sects that claimed to have some esoteric documents attributed to one of the Ahlu Bayt they worshipped.

The latter is pretty likely.

What is the history of heliocentrism in East Asia?
13 posts and 3 images submitted.
>>
>>1342365
Chinese Astronomy-and ergo, East Asian- models viewed Spess as a place where the planets just floated.

Since it floated in the infinite vastness of space, the Chinese were of the opinion that nothing could be the center of anything in the universe.
>>
>>1343491
That's more in line with modern view of the universe, right?

Although there should be a center, where the Big Bang originated.
>>
>>1342365
A clearer picture of heiocentrism is painted in Indian history. Their early vedic texts (9th century BCE) suggests a vaguely spherical world and spherical sun. With the sun as a static center and the earth spinning around. No real mathematical work links to this.

The Greeks got to this idea around 4th-5th century BCE. They toyed with the idea and the limited math they could to calculate.

The later Indian 5th-6th century astronomy works and mathematical works provide a more clearer heliocentric system, including earth, the moon and other planets in solar system. Most notably the accuracy of the rotation of earth down to couple minutes.

Muslims world got to this conclusion around 11th century, mathematically.

And the europe got to this mathematically around 16th century.

How would history changed if Jesus instead of turning water into wine performed a miracle of turning wine into water?

I studied International Relations and Ethics but would like to get into critical theory and political psychology. Gramsci is pretty big in IR and his perspective makes a lot of sense to me but I feel like psychology/psychoanalysis has a lot to offer to the field.

Should I start with Lacan? Laclau? Zizek? Freud? Derrida?

I'm so lost.

Don't start with Freud he's not relevant anymore. Honestly Fir an IR perspective I'd start with cross cultural psychology stuff, and continue into modern psychological though
