Lee Hsien Loong is a mathematician, but he's a career politician by trade.

A good chunk of the PAP are doctors, but most of them are businessmen, public servants and "soldiers". There are doctors, yes, but it's a shrinking minority. I don't remember any engineers or computer scientists in the PAP. Fuck, Singapore has a crisis of engineers and computer scientists leaving the country.

China might be a lot closer to the technocracy. It sounds like they have a ton of engineers in the CCP.

I think "technocracy" is too nebulous a term to ever label an actual government as such.

>On 1 May 1985, Đorđe Martinović, a 56-year-old resident of the Kosovo town of Gnjilane, arrived at the local hospital with a broken bottle wedged in his rectum. He claimed that he had been attacked by two Albanian-speaking men while he was working in his field. After being interviewed by a Yugoslav People's Army colonel, Martinović reportedly admitted that his injuries had been self-inflicted in a botched attempt at masturbation. Public investigators reported that "the prosecutor made a written conclusion from which it appears that the wounded performed an act of 'self-satisfaction' in his field, [that he] put a beer bottle on a wooden stick and stuck it in the ground. After that he sat 'on the bottle and enjoyed'."[1] Community leaders in Gnjilane subsequently issued a statement describing his injuries as the "accidental consequences of a self-induced [sexual] practice."[2]

I'll consider Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi to be a conquerer.

The oldest religion in the world, with great freedom of dogma, and still in constant evolution and reinterpretation.

It's an ethnoreligion to the Hindus not unlike Judaism is for the Jews.

It is divided in orthodox schools (astika) and heterodox schools (nastika), the former accept the authority of the Vedas, the other reject them.

Astika schools are six: Nyaya, Vaisheshika, Samkhya, Yoga, Mimamsa, and Vedanta.

Nastika include Buddhism, Jainism, Charvaka and Ajivika.

These schools are schools of philosophy in addition of being religious sects, because they come form an age and a place where philosophy and religion were not separate, hence they talk about epistemology in addition to ethics, metaphysics and theology.

Read the Blackwell Companion to Hinduism for more.

The Persians called the people who lived on the Indus Valley "Hindus" because they weren't able to pronounce "Shindu" correctly.

Thus, it was a word to describe people who lived in the Indus, regardless of what they believed in. You can be an atheist, and still be considered to be Hindu.

Ancient Vedic Texts are what Hindus today rely on for their religion. This includes Upanishad, Rig Veda, Bhagavad Gita and more.

The symbol in OP's pic is "Om". It is said that this word gave birth to the universe.

Frederick the Great

Excuse my lack of knowledge on the matter,did Frederick benefit from freedom of speech?

>>1261763
I doubt it. Freedom of speech doesn't really benefit the ruler of a nation anymore than total freedom of speech by a child benefits the parent.

Because antisemites only see people as groups, just like every racist. Collectivism is inseparable from racism.

>"It isn't the capitalist who has power, but the Jews!"

This is the ideology of a fool, because it denies reality.

Antisemites then try and justify this by (wrongly) believing that capitalists are on their side. Most capitalists are white, and most antisemites are white, so clearly their interests coincide, the antisemite thinks. Then they wonder why their lives haven't improved once the Jews have been subjugated or murdered or expatriated.

Oh, damn! It wasn't the Jews! It was Mexicans/Gypsies/blacks!

And so the wheel turns. Antisemites struggle against their own net of prejudice eternally.

Apologize for nothing, do what is best for Russia, don't turn back to communism, glorify the future while viewing the past as glorious [but less so than the future], ignore and suppress the fact that modern Russia is anathema to Soviet doctrine and ways of life, stop kidnapping British spies and feeding them to sharks.

>>1261161

This pretty much.

Putin himself said "Whoever does not miss the Soviet Union has no heart. Whoever wants it back has no brain."

There are certain aspects that could be used to "glorify" ("Sputnik crisis") but only to defend Russia against forces that want to break it up even further, NATO at its borders, Ukraine, etc.

Russia has geopolitical interests just like every other state and completely condemning the Soviet Union might play in the hands of the US when it comes to Russia's bordering nations like Ukraine.

>>1261161
Everything this man said, except for the shark idea. Keep feeding British people to sharks. Sounds like fun.

So during the French Revolution, there was a period (I think the fall of 1793) where groups suddenly decided to desecrate the royal tombs at Saint Denis. This involved opening and then destroying all of the tombs, as well as scattering the bodies of the dead royalty into mass graves. There was an artist who drew some of the more significant corpses as they were laid out.

This is the corpse of Louis XV in 1793. He died in 1774.

Appeal to a certain type of people, particularly stupid people, and you'll be worshipped as a god to them like Karl Marx. You could also just write about improbable but plausible ideas which will draw people to you.

Rich parents

You essentially have to be able to analyze broad social trends/ideas among different groups of people, be able to talk about the source or reason for these trends or ideas, predict how these trends or ideas might bring different groups into conflict, then pick a side and suggest your solution to these problems in a really idealistic way that will appeal to the group whose side you picked.

Ask yourself:
>"where are we now and what problems do we face?"
>"where should humanity be headed/what does the ideal society look like
>"How do we solve the problems that we currently face and create this ideal society"

You have to be able to present your ideals in a new and compelling way and you need to be able to set your ideas within the existing philosophical "timeline", this means preemptively responding to established arguments and criticisms, and directly responding to and pointing out flaws in the ideas of other philosophers.

It helps if you can find some new way to package your ideas, "nihilism, existentialism, solipsism" etc. Ideally you will want to create a new word/idea and market your whole "philosophy" around that word.

Hard to say. Information on pre 10th century or so (AD that is, not B.C.) Zoroastrianism is very sparse.

the shiite sect is a mixture of islam zoroastrianism, and lately sikh.

How did a religion that was so prominent in such a long-lasting empire manage to go so unrecorded?
