The Glorious Revolution was neither glorious nor a revolution

All "revolutions" past the 1700's have only been adding to the earths inevitable demise.

When Kant wrote admiringly about republican government, the "republic" he had in mind more than any other was England.
England was the one country to which every enlightened person in Europe looked with longing: the country which had conquered monarchical absolutism and religious obscurantism.

Does the existence of the Pirahã debunk pretty much every humanities theory?
>they have no concept of religion
>their language has no past tense
>their language has no numbers
>their language has no subordinate clauses
>they have no fables or stories
>they make no art
>they name their children after other members of the tribe, and many cannot remember the names of all four of their grandparents

Any theory of objective humanity trend, sure. But no one really believes in that anyway.

What we know about them is filtered through a rather dubious source.

I don't believe human trends and "laws" should be taken as completely absolute but as a way to Generalize human behavior.
This guy approaches you in the middle of the night and says "hey kid, wanna hear about the magical world of forms?"

Is the only possible outcome of the modern economic capitalist system we live in a total failure? Will it ever work properly? Will we actually be able to 'make' money? Instead of simply moving it and creating debt? What will the crash look like? First world nations reverting to third world?

Everything is destined for failure, but you can't determine whether something is a failure if it's based on lies anyway.

Why have I never heard this stuff before? This should be taught in schools. It is stunning. I had no idea this kind of recording existed.

I mean think about it, he fought through the Civil War, lived through the Wild West times, the Industrial Revolution at the turn of the century, and saw the inventions of radios, televisions, cars, airplanes, tanks, jets, and nuclear weapons.
I really can't even fathom it.
Here is another neat video. I wish we had more of these old people on tape giving interviews. Post anything you have.

Not really an authentic recording. But still a moving reading of an authentic letter.

What's wrong with his philosophy? I only know the basis "being-onto-death" which I find to be a right way to look at life. I was actually going to get into his philosophy more, but I'd like to know what you dislike about it OP.

Since the last thread got archived with only one reply I'm gonna post this again.
I need all the sources you have on:
1) Freemasonry
2) Rosicrucianism
3) Martinism
Academic and sacred texts are both good.
I already know about Lewis Masonic and McCoy.

What is peoples actual opinion on this man?
He gets shit on a lot on 4chan and while his party was definitely inolved in some questionable actions, was he himself so much to blame?
No opinions on the apartheid please, just on Mandela.

i dont care if you do or don't agree with it
how do anarcho syndicalists claim not to employ coercion? and if they really don't coerce anyone to work, what of those who choose not to but leech off the society? jsut let them? because i think disallowing someone to leech would be saying they can't eat without work which sounds to me like capitalist coercion
sorry if ive compeltely misunderstood

if you thought that an anarcho-leftists could be reasoned with then you truly have completely misunderstood
>>
all human discourse is coercion unless people automatically agree all the time, if freedom is the ability to do what someone immediately wants then any kind of challenge to somebody's beliefs or advocacy for the truth is coercion
this is why I left anarchism
>>
>>1011211
ok but seeing as you once were anarchist, how would you have explained it back then? surely such an obvious answer must have an answer, no matter how weak the answer may be

Strawman. Free marketeers don't believe it's balanced; they believe greater economic growth regardless of who benefits is a better policy than more balanced economic growth with "chosen" winners.
