Is ignorance bliss?
I don't know
I dunno faggot, is it?
>>1115462
I'd say both, because while lack of ignorance will make man less happy, he is still going to grow as a person, purely because of the virtue.
From a philosophical point of view, what is more immoral: dating someone in a relationship while believing love to be a transcendental, pseudo- religious force
OR
dating someone in a relationship while believing love to be a subjective feeling without deeper significance?
>>1115171

>>1115171
how can a belief be immoral?
>>1115184
how is morality anything but a belief?
Are there any situations in which death is objectively better than life?
depends on what that life would contain
but that doesn't mean this is a reasonable question.

being stuck in a vegetative state
sure being locked up in some dungeon getting tortered to death
Holy shit, he compared Rawls's a theory of justice argument to the sexual marketplace (and the hypocrisy of society thinking one thing about money, the other about the redistribution of sex). Redpilled as fjcwkw
Which of Rawls' arguments are you talking about? He makes many arguments in his book of that title, the main one being in favor of the difference principle. Is that the one you mean?
Money determines way of life though sex is not materialistic

W-why is the law like this?
>>1114590
United states law is a clusterfuck, why d you think the US is screwed up so bad?
Not even highly educated people understand laws and how taxes work in the US. Around only 12% of the population can even do their taxes by themselves without a computer program
the common law system dates back to the 1100's and is built on the idea of precedent, so rulings and laws that were made almost 1000 years ago still have legal relevance today
honestly it's a miracle it works as well as it does at this point
>>1114605
Do you have to do your taxes yourself in the US? Here in Sweden if you're an employee you just get a letter home with how much you'll be getting.
How complex was the Old World knowledge on cardinal points (North, south, east and west) and wind direction? Is the claim of the Chinese inventing the compass true, and how did people navigate during the day (stars at night obviously excluded)?
>>1114555
And I'm not talking about the history of navigation, I'm asking more in the sense of recognising the fact that some things (the Sun coming out on one side and setting on the other, or cold winds blowing opposite from the direction of warm winds) needed to be defined and recognised

What? I really want to know. Isnt this /his/?
Is naming ships just a Western Tradition? If so when did it start and how did it start?
>>1114452
It started as a mediterranean tradition. Arguably from the Phoenicians dedicating their boats to their gods and calling it by the name of their gods. Romans, Greeks took it up, and then Medieval Europe/Islam took it up as well. Outside the Med, I think only vikings did name their ships.
>>1114459
Contd.
In E. Asia - based on the Chinese example- they definitely did not have names. If anything, a ship's name is the name of the commander in charge of the vessel. Traditionally the only East Asian ship with a name is the unusually large Japanese Atakebune warship "Nihonmaru." But even this isn't a name: it just means "Ship of the State." (i.e. Flagship).
However, Asians do have traditions and supersitions on their ships. Nips tie votive Shinto amulets to the god, Susanoo on the prow. Chinks carve faces on the prows of their ships so that the spirits guiding the ship could see, often fierce faces to scare bad luck. Flags depicting bats were put on the masts as bats were considered good luck among Chinese sailors.
>>1114459
This kind of surprises me. I always thought that people have a natural tendency to give important objects names.

Does anyone have the picture of the US couple of which one is a young girl (I think from the late 19th or early 20th century), with the accompanying text that the husband gave her a doll for her wedding, which get's sometimes shared in history threads on /b/ ?

>From the time of Alexander the great until the 19th century the fastest form of transportation over land never changed
I never really thought of railroads as interesting until I heard this fact.
There has been some changes in cart technology though.
>>1114056
Yeah, but that didn't make anything go faster. The top speed over land was always the top speed of a horse.
That's why we had boats
Would capturing Moscow actually win the Eastern Front for the Germans? Despite it being the capital, wasn't all the industry already relocated to Asia, and wouldn't they just evacuate Kremlin, continuing to fight on further? Or would this be a definitive blow, allowing Wehrmacht to break the organised defence altogether?
>>1113961
Did Napoleon win after Capturing Moscow?
Germany didn't come within a prayer of taking Moscow so this question is pointless. Would taking the US have allowed Germany to win WW2? Probably. What is the point of such stupid questions, though?
