Daily remember that the greatest philosopher of the 20th century was a Jewish theologian and Concentration Camp survivor.
I don't see any problem with it.

They're just douchebags really
They aren't retarded enough to give throne to dude who randomly won the right to rule in the lottery of his birth.
Sorry in advance if this is the wrong board but it seems to fit.
Has anyone else done their genealogy research and found... less than stellar expectations?
I am all the way back, on all lines, to the "old" country, and so far I have 3 war heros, 4 convicted murderers, 2 ancestors who were acquitted of murder, a person who killed hundreds of Native Americans, a WW2 military deserter, and 2 currently registered sex offenders, one of which, a 3rd cousin, molested a girl <10 years of age
I know we all have grand ideas of who we descended from, but it seems my entire bloodline went to hell when it moved from Kentucky to Pennsylvania. Help a bro out with the feels?
Pic Unrelated, but funny

I don't about you, but I'm the last of kin of Captain Morgan.
True story: My grandfather got wayyyy into Genealogy in his later years, and unearthed the usual grab bag of characters.
A civil war surgeon who hacked mad limbs, William Bradford, governor of Plymouth Colony, and specifically a Revolutionary war soldier. This made me eligible for Sons of the American Revolution, but the guy was a damn deserter. He marched for like 6 days, and said "screw you guis, I'm goin home." In good conscious I could not take the claim, and am only a member of the Mayflower Society.
If Jesus was a real person he rose after seven days, does that mean his descents walk among us?
>>1183346
>If Jesus was a real person he rose after seven days
3 days, you idiot.
>does that mean his descents walk among us?
Jesus had no children
>>1183346
3 days, and then He went straight up into heaven after 40 days. He sent His Holy Spirit down to the earth. Jesus had no children.
>>1183414
He rose after seven days and that is why Sunday is the day of Easter.
And Jesus did have children.
How can just one man keep an entire nation together for 34 years?
I mean its not exactly unheard of for powerful nations to be held together by a single, charismatic strongman.
>>1183339
strength, authority, charisma, cunning...
basically being a clever dickswinger
any conventional leadership qualities you can think of applied to governing of a whole state, leading a country is just like leading a small group of people, just applied at a different scale
By killing his enemies and then running the country on western loans.

Why didn't the Romans ever try to conquer anything south of the Carthaginian Empire? Wouldn't it be really fucking easy?
No one can be this geographically inept, right?
because south of the Carthaginian empire is useless desert
>>1183219
yeah with nobody there so it would have been easy pickings for the romans
I'm in art college and am writing a visual analysis on The Building of the Tower of Babel from the Morgan Crusader Bible. Can anyone tell me what I should call this device on her back? I can't find anything on the internet.
tl;dr what is on her back

Who is this semen demon?
>>1182912
It's a construction site and the person is carrying mortar in the "backpack"

Why is the "reconquista" of the iberian peninsula not really treated as a proper series of crusades in the modern imaginary?
All the discussion seems to divert towards the middle eastern crusades and to a lesser extent towards the baltic crusades, when in Iberia there was even a pilgrimage point, Santiago de Compostela, that was considered second only to the Holy Land in the christian imaginary.
>>1182791
Pretty sure the church has to approve it officially or it's not a crusade.
The Reconquista wasn't a single conflict, but a series of conected conflicts. Some of those conflicts were and are considered crusades. Crusaders travelled to Iberia and cavalry orders from outside and from the land were established to fight the moors. Never seen anybody denying it.
>>1182791
Depends on your sources, from the Iberian perspective it was a mission from God, while also functioning as a way to prove that the Iberians belonged in European affairs as an equal.
The church didn't technically start reconquista, but they did advocate it and so I think that might be why the Spanish identify reconquista as a Spanish duty to Christendom as opposed to all Christians needing to serve reconquista.
>>1182791
>Why is the "reconquista" of the iberian peninsula not really treated as a proper series of crusades in the modern imaginary?
because it isnt
its the ''reconquista''
not a series of crusades
If archers were expected to engage in melee, what did they do with their bows? Surely they must have been personal and also somewhat delicate?
Not as valuable as your life. it would probably be collected when the battle is over
>>1182698
Not that delicate, you just put in on the ground in a big pile.
Go full legolas up in that bitch and blaze through enemy lines, chopping and slicing down enemies left and right untill the bow falls out of your hand because it's so slippery due to the blood of yoir enemies?

I'm going to go download photoshop and make a collage of disappointed Hellenes, Chinese and all the other respectable ancient cultures that would be indignent at this bullshit.
You've failed yourself. Don't even pretend that you actually feel any kind of loyalty to that dead Emperor who pretended to be a philosopher.
>>1182355
Look. Everyone fails. You pick yourself up, dust yourself off, apologize to your dad, and carry on.
I'm not sure if his is the place to put this, but how would you people feel If say Italy did something like Cornwall and revived and officially recognized Classical Latin, would it be plausible, would it be dumb? Pic kinda related
But why?
>>1181917
Why did Cornwall do it
>>1181903
Yes, it should be the official language of the EU and the Pope should support it. But then again the EU should be dissolved and this Pope hanged.
Was the Cultural Revolution the greatest adolescent fantasy of all time?
The leader of a country literally just told all the youth to drop out of school and go beat up old people for being counter revolutionaries instead.
19 yr old me would have been ecstatic to be put in that situation.

Thanks for the chuckles and a new way to view Cultural Revolution.

It was definitively great in scale
What do you think about solipcism? Is there any way to disprove it?
Pic unrelated
>>1181649
>Is there any way to disprove it?
Take it to its natural conclusion. Nondual Shiva Tantra.
>>1181649
No
>>1181649
Disprove, no, but you can empirically test it. Walk in the middle of a busy highway with your eyes closed while listening to loud music. if you're only the real person nothing should happen to you.
