It's a fucking continent of a nation. More people live there than Europe itself.

>All cultures value happiness, money, success, family, and good looks - really, the things which makes it essential for us to survive and reproduce.
What is interesting is to see all the rituals and considerations that apply to these things, because they change a lot from one culture to the other.

> I don't see how learning a new language can open your eyes to a new culture.
Languages shape the way people think and see the world. However, coming to this point would require a very high level of proficiency, so it's years of practice and immersion for a meager result.

Basically the problem lies within your question itself. There are better reasons to learn a language and better way of approaching a foreign culture.

>Languages shape the way people think and see the world
I don't see how. All languages fundamentally describe the world we are in and it's not like an English paragraph will describe a painting VERY differently from a French paragraph.
>better reasons to learn a language
I'm talking about a not so useful language such as a language that is rarely spoken by locals in your area and I don't think there is a good reason for that.

It's more or less subcounscious. For exemple :
In English, when you are agreeing with someone, you can say "you are right".
In French, we literally say "you have reason."

When you comes to the root of the words, to their true meaning, it is a huge difference. Another exemple, the fact that English creates a different between sheep and mutton, while many languages don't.
Not to mention all the words that can't be translated.

>All languages fundamentally describe the world we are in
I agree, but langages are vivid thing, they evolve and change all the time. A language is the reflection of a people's history, culture(s) and society. So in the end, even if we all see the same things, we dont have the same way of looking at it.

>I'm talking about a not so useful language such as a language that is rarely spoken by locals in your area and I don't think there is a good reason for that.
Motivation is good enough a reason. Some people find language learning a fun or interesting exercice, it doesn't necessarily have to be the answer to a specific need.

They are two of the primary emotions yes, from greed you get ambition, lust, desire, jealousy, envy and others, from fear you get hate, distrust, caution, community, etc. The third I'd say would be empathy, whence comes love, charity, compassion, mercy, bravery and others.

Also Gul Dukat did nothing wrong.

He probably would've just stayed put in the United States until his death. Moving to Quebec isn't an option because it's still owned by the English.

You can read philosophy in any order you want really.

>Missing out on antinatalism

Fichte and Schelling are important if you really want to bridge Kant to Hegel, that is, if you want to read Hegel without having to re-read what you just read over and over because it reads like a word salad.

Schopenhauer is actually more relevant to Nietzsche than any of the aforementioned idealists or Kant, since he develops the idea of will and self-overcoming a lot more, though Nietzsche is doubtless influenced by Hegel's Philosophy of Right in his conception of power.

The Roman Inquisition was installed to battle heresy. The Spanish Inquisition was a whole new level. It adjudicated heresy, bigamy, sodomy, crypto-Jews, crypto-Muslims, and "Erasmists" (the word they gave to anything resembling Protestantism, even reformist Catholics). It maintained the caste system of the Spanish Empire: "Pure bloods" on top, the converted "impure" below. It socially engineered the fear of non-conformity into multi cultural people.

Torquemada ran the show. The civil authorities merely carried out the wishes of the church. The church had the rule that they wern't allowed to shed blood so the civil authorities carried out the sentences delivered by trials held by the church.

Being a good Christian,Torquemada said that no blood must be shed;however,he conceded that people did often die under torture. If that happened,the inquisitor must immediately seek absolution from a fellow priest. Torquemada gave all his priests the power to absolve one another of murder.

studying Frankish nobility they would basically gather small armies and go kill each other and burn down one another's estates over the most trivial states. The relations between nobles was like soap opera, and nobles were really the only people that mattered.
The states were really only centralized in that when the monarch was strong, nobles pretty much expressed deference to them and were loyal to them, but otherwise it was every noble for themselves. The internal state of affairs were nearly anarchic.

>Meanwhile the emperor sent [g29] troops to the four directions of the land, commanding them with a wrathful order not to spare either old or young, neither child nor adult, neither man nor woman nor anybody. And in this way he demolished and polluted 12 districts. It was a pitiful scene there [13] and one worthy of many tears.
>Come now and tally up for me the numbers [slain] at that time: the venerable, respectworthy elderly who fell, their white hairs stained with blood; the youths stabbed to death with swords, the countless incalculable eyes which were blinded.
