What would happen to the child, who's parents always discourage him and questions all of his acts - from like, careless childish playing to goofing with / interested in a thing he found in the garden - with simple "Why?" questions - "Why would you need that? Why do you do this? L" etc

Isn't it normally the reverse, with children asking why?
>>
>>1271132
They ask why and how their surroundings works. But what if we face them with questions about how and why THEY di as they do

Freud said it affected intelligence in later life. The way parents react to "how is babby formed" dictates if kids remain curious or not. If the parents react harshly or tell them some bullshit it hampers their interest in other questions for fear of chastisement. If they respond positively the kid develops an impulse to research.
sorry cant remember where i read it.

More and more I find that I can't find stimulating material, more and more I realize I'm one of this generations greatest minds, more and more I realize I myself must contribute.
So /his/, what's up with that? Why isn't any material from the past 2 millenniums stimulating or challenging to me? I'm not that far ahead of anybody, am I?
Present to me stimulating ideas, now /his/

>You can't actually prove god exists, therefore god doesn't exist
>You can't actually prove conscious beings other than yourself exist, therefore you're the only real conscious being
Why are atheists content to come to the first conclusion but not the second when they follow the same line of thinking? Why do they draw the line at solipsism?

They don't say this though (protip: most atheists are agnostics and agnostics are actually atheists).

You can though, it's pretty fucking easy actually.

There will always be poor people, but Christ won't always be here as a dude walking around, and while is here, it is right to glorify him with all your money.

I like the comparison between 4chan and the Holy Roman Empire a lot more. A loose confederation of different states/boards that often despise and fight each other and are only united by name. Reddit would then be France and tumblr would be the ottomans.

>In the beginning, God created the Heaven and the Earth
>And the Earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Okay, so what this is telling me is that the Earth had no form, yet it was created. So I can only assume that the universes existence at first was like a blank canvas and God drew in everything else, including heaven. And he decided to do it all after an infinite amount of time prior.
This couldn't have happened.

According to the bible, God is infinite, so he must've had all these morals in his head for quite some time and only then did he decide to create the universe, only to make it so that humans weren't perfect.

If you woke up in your present location in 1913, how would you go about stopping WWI from starting?

I'd just kill Hitler and let the war happen. We learned a valuable lesson from that war and if it didn't happen and technology got to develop even more before the next big war it could've been even more devastating
>>
I'd just go find Lenin and try to use what future knowledge I have to help ignite the world revolution and transform the whole planet into a soviet republic.
>>
I'm in Austria, but I'm French and I don't speak German.
I would have a hard time.
But I think the best way would be to kill some of the leading figures of the right wing of the SPD... Or so I would like to think because I resent them, but after checking, it seems that the reichstag would still have voted for the war if the socialists had voted against.
Then I don't know. I guess I would hide in Switzerland and let it happen. And I would try to kill Stalin before he can wreck the Russian revolution.
That's more important than WWI anyway.

What are the best books on the ancient world?
They must be written in a way that doesn't make me want to claw my eyes out (i.e. not academic text books).
Books on areas other than Ancient Rome/Greece particularly welcome (anyone have any good books on Ancient Asia?).
