Jaden Smith

Any State sponsored university has a unstated interest in keeping the State happy. Be too controversial and they pull funding.

That last panel would work better as a pompei graffiti. Real reason why I posted.

I don't want to live in the same country as Slavs and Swedes, go away.

Aristotle's metaphysics.

I like the the theory of forms when it comes to mathematics but the idea that there is a such thing as 'computerness' or 'phoneness' or 'beerness' floating around in the ether does strike me as a bit ridiculous.

>>1286257
if you construe the "ether" as each individual's brain matter then plato was pretty close to the mark, though only for how each individual brain works. for example we have a form of "chair" in our mind that is informed by all past chairs we have interacted with and each new chair is mapped onto. but I don't see how there could possibly be the form of "chair" outside a human cognitive frame of reference

Perhaps it was to be honest.

Charlemange was the first to gain the title of Holy Roman Emperor, because he kicked the muslims out of France and went on a crusade to convert/kill the Saxon's till they accepted Christianity.

For all purposes, the Carolingian Renaissance did seem to be a revival of many Roman traditions after antiquity and he largely did restore Imperial rule in the West.

If you can consider the Roman Catholic Church to be the spiritual and in ways cultural dictate of the Roman Empire, Charlemagne as the dude who reunified the West into a coherent Empire and who did try and revive Roman tradition (ie Carolingian Renaissance) + added legitimacy at having kicked muslims and pagans out,

plus the notion that Catholics were Romans, and him being the new protector and Emperor of these Roman-Catholics (Church being the biggest attempt at Roman continuity)

Holy Roman Emperor seems like a pretty fitting title

i recall one awesome story which must have been one of the last great sword battle in history. A Russian and Japanese officer dueled in the midst of a battle while the troops around stopped to watch. The Japanese officer won the duel and struck down the Russian if I remember.

First of all, basing knowledge on sensory experience automatically puts focus on the individual, since it is always an individual's senses that are experiencing something. Any talk of 'general will', 'spirit of the people', 'historical inevitability' and the such simply has no place in this context. Politics can only be seen as concerning a set of individuals, never a nation or some other collective entity.

Further, any large collective projects undertaken by the government (or some other political body) can never be justified by the before mentioned collectivist understandings or rationalist grand theories. They can only be justified in the utility that they would produce, and that needs to be guaranteed by actual experience of previous such projects.

Therefore, massive changes are something that will always be seen with scepticism, and as such they are more likely to be rejected in favour of smaller, safer, experience-based actions and plans: 'small, limited government', 'letting it trickle down', 'letting things sort themselves out', etc. It basically turns into a sceptic justification of the status quo, as long as the status quo guarantees certain basic rights to the individual.

In the end, just compare the list of famous liberals with the list of famous empiricists (and persons from subsequent schools) and observe the massive overlap.

I've been intending to skim through these ones, considering that I've been told that they're entertaining (erm, therefore is difficult to nuance whether those are your aims, given that "best" isn't that precise of a criteria). Supposedly does a run-through of his career.

It hasn't been disclosed to me though whether it has a translate version.

Invading Russia was always the plan, it was THE reason for Nazism to exist. Invading France was necessary after the Allies DoW, Hitler's real mistake was in breaking the Treaty of Munich and so revealing himself to be a liar. After that, there was no more room for a negotiated settlement over Poland since the Allies had no confidence Hitler would confine his ambitions to the Polish Corridor.

>>1285810
Becase he wanted France. Among other things. So he needed his east border secured. That's why he tried to ally with Poland and when that failed he allied with Soviet Union which some faggots still ignore. Then they defeated Poland waited a bit and turned to France that was still patiently waiting for the attack all this time.

Mongols were militarily competent, ISIS is not. They were also tolerant of other faiths, ISIS is not.

Sure is summer in here.

>>1285659
They are pretty competent, better than the K*rds. You don't have to like them to admit that.
>>1285654
No because they're tactics aren't original unlike the Mongols. It's like how the Goths were a retarded Hunnic Army, Isis is a retarded somali militia.

>>1285654

The Mongols established the rule of law and were pretty hands-off rulers, ISIS are pure wreckers of civilisations and literal thought police.
