I don't know the answer to your quesiton, but I've been writing fantasy novels too, and in my studies I found that Inuit (if I recall) tribes were able to make rudimentary iron tools without mining, from meteorite iron.

We'd actually be more advanced

Bronze production required extensive trade routes, and it's a stronger material than iron

Only downside is the lack of weapons which can be mass produced

I am addicted to the pursuit of knowledge, it does not seem to lead to anything, but it keeps me going

Also this board granted me laughter

You know the answer ...

Is there a philosophy that says fear of death is the only reason to live?

Cavalry were always dumbass chads.

Classic combo of relative inexperience and hubris.

He lost an arms race. His soldiers had single shot rifles, the Indians had multi-shot (repeating) rifles.

It's a collection of Nietzsche's notes stitched together and published posthumously.

You could say it's "not canon", though it is studied, kind of like On Truth and Lies in a Non-Moral Sense.

No one considers it a forgery, it's in Nietzsche's handwriting. Part was forged, but that isn't published with it, that was only in the Naziboo editions. The edition in the OP is strictly Nietzsche, no forgery.

>>1210212
It's not only "canon", it's crucial to understanding Nietzsche. 99% of misconceptions about Nietzsche are due to not having read The Will to Power. They are not just diary entries, they were notes specifically for a work with that title that Nietzsche planned to publish, meant to be his magnum opus `

>>1210212
Basically this. It was edited by Nietzsche's sister, who was a huge nazi supporter. It's basically all the parts of Nietzsche's thought that might be misconstrued to support Nazi ideology out of context stripped of that context and put together.

Deng Thread

>>1210060
Chiang gave us dignity
Mao gave us liberation
Deng gaves us food

Did Deng have any faith in communism at all or was he just a state capitalist by the time he came to power?

Autism? I can see all the schizos becoming shamans while the spherglords are busy playing with objects until one accidentally makes fire and the chads steal his technology

>>1209922

That's my point though, you don't "accidentally" make fire, it's an involved, arduous process

>>1209948
It was tinkering yeah, not some kind of rationalization, at least that's what I assume

Even some modern inventions arose out of toying and tinkering around

Nassim Taleb claims this how most inventions arise, or at least some of the inventions thought of as arising out of knowledge arose out of random tinkering

Who says that. I've never seen Jews proudly declare their heritage in another religion.

>>1209605
I don't think I'd academically run with "Jews were Zoroastrianists". I can go with the argument the Jewish faith was influenced by Zoroastrian conjecture, but I can also explain that away with the concept God intended for this influence because He anointed his assigned deliverer, Cyrus (Isaiah 45). In the wider scope, yeh, many judeo christian people would consider that heresy, but it's not the worst contention to have.

He'd probably hang you for saying it.

He was a fookin' bell end.

Literally who?

Holy because the Emperor was crowned by the Pope.
Roman because it was created to be the sole sucessor of the Roman Empire.
Empire because it had an emperor, it was a dominion that collected taxes and was, to certain degree, an unit.

>Holy because the Emperor was crowned by the Pope.
Pope had the exclusive authority to crown all people, that doesn't mean every single kingdom was "holy".
>Roman because it was created to be the sole sucessor of the Roman Empire.
With ERE still firmly in place. On the lands Romans considered absolutely barbaric.
>Empire because it had an emperor, it was a dominion that collected taxes and was, to certain degree, an unit.
Being a unit and collecting taxes doesn't make anything an empire, and claiming it's an empire because it calls itself an empire is quite ironic, don't you think?

fuck, that be a hairstyle?

Vulgar Latin was by far the more common tongue, as the invaders were actually small in numbers and France had an extremely high population density historically. Couple that with Latin's use in the church and the general prestige that the language carried, and it's only natural that Latin and it's descendant languages would dominate.

>>1209427

Thanks!

>>1209427
I would also say that latin was the language of the imperial administration (which the Franks and visigoths and others tried to maintain) and that the celtic language in Gaul wasn't that different from latin, it would seem, so the two languages appear to have blended to an extent. Current french is essentially derived from latin, but with celtic influences (and some germanic influences as well).

Somebody on my mom's side was the first man put in stocks at Plymouth, an irishman by the name of Claflan. He stole a pig.

We really haven't gotten much further than that. So I'm an American.

I wanted to lol at seeing this OP. Why would you want to read any philosophy pre-Socratic? I understand that there were thinkers before him, but not that many in all honesty and not measuring up to him. I'm genuinely curious. Also, hope you get the info you want in this thread.
