What if every religion is true and after you die you go to whichever one it was you believed.
If you're Christian/Muslim you'll most likely end up in hell because you're all fucking hypocrites who never practice their own faith while calling everyone else out.
If you're atheist you just fucking disappear lel
If you're Hindu, well than you're in for a world of fun.

From a purely military/strategical standpoint, how good was Francisco Franco?
At one point he was the youngest captain in the Spanish Army

He was kind of like Wellington. He mostly enganged inferior armies and preffered the safe strategies. That is probably the reason why the civil war lasted so long.

The countercharge tactic he loved was pure insanity.

Why do people continue to believe in the existence of it when it has been debunked?

Why do people think that our will following causal factors means it's somehow unfree? Compatibilism > hard determinism.

I don't think it's a question that really has any practical implications or that most people even think about. Freedom that actually exists doesn't even require free will, fucking Bakunin was a determinist.

Really? I didn't even know he touched on the subject as a philosopher, I thought he was entirely a political philosopher.

I think this takes the cake:
"[In the middle ages] the physical origin of sperm, in men and in women, was also debated. The brain, the head in general, the body as a whole and the reproductive organs more specifically all had their supporters. The medieval mind liked to work by analogy, and the whiteness of the brain was likened to the whiteness of semen, the spinal cord providing a physiological link between these two substances. Both semen and breast milk were believed to derive from blood, undergoing a series of purifications during which they lost their colour. Men, needless to say, were thought to purify their blood more completely, thanks to their hotter nature. Emission of both menstrual blood and semen were thought to remove impurities from the body. The retention of these products could poison the system, and sexual activity, including masturbation, was sometimes recommended by doctors as a cure for various ailments. Churchmen were left to debate whether in such circumstances sexual activity constituted a sin, or was necessary for the health of the body"

Are the Lowlanders overlooked in Scottish history despite being the majority of people? Why is that?

No. All famous Scots in history were lowlanders.
And in any case the populations of the Highlands and Lowlands were in fact roughly equal before 1715.

Why did middle-age Europe go full Dune when it came to spices?
Why was it so valued? Was there a gold rush for New World spices as well as those from Asia? What's was their deal?

Spices make food taste really good.
>>
>>1255754
Spices, especially nutmeg, was valued as an anti plague amulet. It also made shitty, rotting meat and produce taste somewhat passable. Napoleon's Buttons has a very interesting chapter on the chemistry of spices and what made them coveted in Europe.
>>
Status symbol, and taste, and food preservation.
This isn't isolated to spices, England got half of China addicted to heroin because they weren't getting their fucking tea.

Yes.
But they got fucked by tyrannical regimes shortly afterwards. Whilst Leninist-style states don't seem to be the best at effectively implementing communist ideals, they sure seem to be the best at protecting communist ideals.

Why doesn't anyone ever talk about this guy? Because he didn't kill a bunch of people in the pursuit of his Socialist ideals?
Bernie Sanders made this about him in the 1970s:
