The Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria are said to be nicknames. My professor said one is nearly impossible to find and only one student has ever gotten it.

Nina = Santa Clara
Santa Maria = La Santa María de la Inmaculada Concepción (yeah)
Pinta = name is unknown

I'm from the town where the Santa Clara was made. Santa Clara is a monastery in a town called Moguer and the Niño brothers, who lived there, were the boatbuilders.

Tell me they're not still teaching that crap in school. What did your professor tell you that he discovered America? There's no reason for Columbus to be taught in any primarily English speaking country. The guy shipwrecked in a place called Santo Domingo.

It's the early 1920's and you've been appointed head of the Soviet Union. How do you govern it and what changes do you make to avoid the mistakes that Stalin & co. did in real life?
Hard mode: you're not allowed to drop communism.
Ultrahard mode: you're not allowed to adopt capitalism in any form whatsoever for at least 50 years.

My dad loves his parents and talks fondly of his childhood. He mentions casually that his mum and dad would smack him for being bad. But he never ever smacked me, and when I asked him about this discrepancy he says that he never contemplated doing it (though I was a well behaved child).
Has humanity reached peak comfy and we don't need to respond harshly to bad behaviour?

Depends where you live m8, some places hitting children is seen as cruel and inhumane, in other places (even in what we think of as the developed world) parents beat their children all the time. My parents had to send a note requesting that the teachers at my school not paddle me (although I don't think it was done at my school anyway).

Worst feeling is sitting in class for hours dreading having to go home. Non-Asian kids will never know this feel.

My uncle told me that in 1979, when he was 17, he applied to join the British army and after the medical he was told if he signed he would be sent to Northern Ireland so he told them to fuck off. I called his bluff and said that anybody in the British army from the ages of 16 to 18 could not be sent to a war zone however he argues that it was different in 1979 and that you could be sent to fight if you were 17. I have looked to try find evidence to back up my point but I can't find anything relating to that year. Help /his/

If Nixon didn't think he'd be pardoned Ford wouldn't have been president in the first place

Would the country be better off with a former president in prison? I can see arguments either way.

>you will never see him perform live
> Once the solar, golden, sacred regality of the mythical first age fell, power devolved upon a lunar, silver, feminized priestly caste before an unconsecrated warrior nobility struggled against it, announcing the Bronze Age. Then power shifts to the mercantile caste, represented by the Italian comune, Freemasonry, the Jewish financial oligarchy of the Renaissance, and New World American Judeo-Protestant plutocracy. By the beginning of the twentieth century, organized labour and Marxist-Trotskyite subverters sought to transfer power to the last caste of slaves or sudras, or the consumer-pariah, reducing all values to matter, machines, dysgenic egalitarianism and the reign of abstract quantity.
Is Evola right or is this highly simplified version of history?

You have a 12yo brother and you want to get him into history. How would you describe the Renaissance and Humanism to him in, let's say, two paragraphs, without making it an absolute borefest? How can you explain to a kid things lke the revival of interest towards platonism, the classical canon of beauty, hermeticism or mention great people like Rabelais, Copernicus, Ficino, Francis Bacon, Giordano Bruno, Michelangelo, DaVinci without making it an absolute borefest? I
know people like us had immense curiosity and devoured a lot of information but times change and now they might not have enough time or attention for that. How would you guys explain this period?

Honestly? Mass media, even if it's not historically accurate. The Borgias, Assassin's Creed, etc.
Nobody started liking history by reading a textbook. Age of Empires, Civ or Braveheart got you to start reading kiddie books, which got you into reading a textbook. Mass Media may not be historically accurate, but it helps cultivate an early and healthy interest in history. If he likes it he'll keep liking history long after he knows what's wrong with whatever entry level media got him into it.
