When does group philosophy cross-over to becoming a cult?
Don't forget to buy your outfit before going so you can be a real philosopher/cult member

Wasn't this a scene from Star Wars episode 3? A convo between obi wan and anakin?

This doesn't really work 2bh since Augustus doesn't get horribly burned by lava after a duel with his former best friend.
Was there a cuter couple than Justinian and Theodora? They loved each other and only another, and after Theodoras death Justinian refused to remarry even though he could get any women he wanted.

What nation or individual was the most successful at removing crosscucks? Some of the possible answers:
>states
Roman Empire pre-Constantine, Japan, Ottoman Empire.
>individuals
Timur, Enver Pasha, Diocletian.

>Not posting the Caliphates.
The Levant and Syria used to be very Christian. Guess what happened during the Muslim Conquests.
>>1191726
Christians where still the majority for a while after the first conquests, and conversions where mostly done for tax reasons.
I'm looking for brutal removals, massacres, things like that.

Were there any major civilizations that never practiced religion and never invented the concept of God? I know some isolated savage tribes in the middle of buttfuck nowhere had something similar, but i'm talking about actual civilizations.
Or is religion basically a prerequisite for a civilization?

That bug fucking broke me

Define "god" then.
Because these range from "Supermen who live up in the sky" (Greeks) to "All encompassing and omnipotent (Abrahamics)" and "Avatars of some cosmic force" (Chinese folk religions).
Because not all think the same way. Gods & Goddesses is pretty much a western way to view multitudes of religious thinking the world over. You could say the Folk Chinese were without God since their """"""""Gods"""""""" were personifications of a supreme source of all that i called "Tian." And before you can say "well, Tian is god then." Know that the concept pretty much means "State of the Absolute."
>>1191302
Gods by any other name are still gods
What can /his/ tell me about the clash between European hunter gatherers and early farmers?
>>1191250
ooga booga das me elk, flatnose.
>>1191250
They were probably the same people.
There was no clear cut definitions of the two. People who farmed also hunted and gathered. Prehistoric communities did everything to put food on the proverbial table.
>European hunter gatherers
Around Jutland they were actually communities of fishermen. They coexisted with the farmers for half a millenium before disappearing.

How take so long to disband the Praetorian Guard?
Were emperors blind? Didint they see as an enemy inside Rome? Those fuckers killed more emperors than anyone.
>pic related, one of the best Emperors ever.
Augustus made the Praetorian guard with the intention of them bumping off the Emperor if he went full goober. It's frankly a wonder they didn't kill more Emperors than they did.
>>1191054
>shitty republicucks harp about "what do monarchies do when there's a bad king"
>can just say "create a praetorian guard"
>>1191060
If you have a shitty praetorian guard the problem just repeats itself.
Hey guys, I would like to write a short story about Jesus Christ in historic and realistic terms. Could you surround me of useful information? You know, info about the jewish calendar used during the time of his life, Roman and jew political influence over the province of Judea, etcetera...
PS: It's somehow a Black comedy. Imagine Joseph saying 'In times of Herod we lived better.'

I'm doing a thesis on new atheism and epistemology. what can I talk about?
Natural>Supernatural
and by definition supernatural doesn't exist, if it did, then it would be natural.
>>1190548
this hardly diminishes the undeniably supernatural. if we had a systematic theory for God and how he interacts with the universe no one would say "oh well see that's just a natural phenomena, not supernatural at all"
>>1190557
Being able to completely understand a process and predict the effects doesn't preclude it being natural (and non-anthropomorphic).
Is progress a myth?
>>1190290
Without progress we can't work towards a conclusion.
Not all change is change for the better.
>>1190290
Yes. At least a cultural mindset.
Perhaps this is more fitting on /int/, but I think here the conversation would be better.
What was the intended racial or ethnic makeup of the character Othello?
I've heard Shakespeare based the character off of an Arabic trader, but most modern depictions show Othello as a sub-saharan African.
So /his/, what was Othello, or does it not really matter at all as long as he is swarthy and foreign?

Clearly black, just like Dido, Cleopatra, Hannibal etc.
