Because due to the nature of the Spartan state, they carried around an enemy with them, namely the Helots. (Who themselves mostly descended from locals they conquered)

Sparta was internally stable only so long as the army was there to quash any potential helot revolts, which meant that they couldn't go on long campaigns and leave them unattended.

Plus, as the Peloponesean war showed, even the non-professional Greek militaries weren't pushovers, and taking fortified positions is hard, and that quality advantage is mostly demonstrated in things like being able to march and charge in step, which doesn't mean much in 1 to 1 clashes atop a narrow wall when you try to bring up ladders (much more complicated siege equipment didn't yet exist in their part of the world) against defenders.

>>1257958
They had to be always at home watching over the neighbours they had enslaved and terrorized. It's what allowed them to be focused on war to begin with.

>>1257958

Cause they focused into war not conquest.

It was just a concept used to justify expansion. Every major power ever in history had it in some form, this was Americas version.

>>1256865
I explain it as American version of Spanish Colonialism, but that's good too

>Roman invasion
Non existent genetic impact
>Anglo-Saxon invasion
It was more of a mass-migration so it had notable genetic impact.

>>1254971
This.
Roman influence came and left with the Romans. To my knowledge, they can be hardly identified, if at all, in the modern Englishman's genes. When the Normans came (a bastard mix of Danes, Gallo-Romans, and vastly Franks [both Gallic and Germanic]), Latin linguistic influence appeared in English since the language of French was so heavily influenced by the Romans.

I read that roughly 30% of English DNA is from Germany, and 11% or so is from Denmark. Tbqh since the Jutes were from today's Denmark, as were the Angles in part, that 11% is probably not from the Viking Age but from the Anglo-Saxon era.

Plotinus:

>This Universe is good not when the individual is a stone, but when everyone throws in his own voice towards a total harmony, singing out a life- thin, harsh, imperfect, though it be. The Syrinx does not utter merely one pure note; there is a thin obscure sound which blends in to make the harmony of Syrinx music: the harmony is made up from tones of various grades, all the tones differing, but the resultant of all forming one sound.

Langan, again:

> The "purpose" of their lives, and the "meaning" of their existences, is therefore to self-actualize in a way consistent with global Self-actualization or teleology...i.e., in a way that maximizes global utility, including the utility of their fellow subsystems. Their existential justification is to help the universe, AKA God, express its nature in a positive and Self-beneficial way.

Hegel:

>Reality is:

>1. Process: its a system in motion

>2. Contradiction (the dialectic) is the motor

>3. Reality is constructed by the mind; only the mind doesn't know this at first (understanding). Mind thinks reality is "out there." Mind is therefore alienated from itself. Recognizing that reality is its own creatin reconciles mind with itself.

Thugs - gangs of professional robbers and murderers in South Asia up until the late 1800s - preferred silent strangulation, after which victims would be robbed and disposed of.

> Is not self-denial the root of love?
No, rather it is precisely the opposite.

Love is very much a selfish and sensual feeling. To deny love is to deny yourself and vice versa.

>>1263613
So if you jump on a grenade out of love for your fellow soldiers, you are sacrificing the great majority of your life for nothing but an instant of sensual gratification?

>>1263623
Yes, basically.

>for nothing but an instant of sensual gratification?
Do not underestimate the all-encompassing power of fleeting sensual gratification.
