The same way any religion explains away bad things happening to good people and good things happening to bad people.

The bad things happened because we didn't believe enough or those other guys had the strength of [Insert Religion's Devil Here] backing them up and ruined it for us. But don't you worry God has a plan and we'll get rewarded eventually.

The good things happened because we didn't believe enough or those other guys made a vile deal with [Insert Religion's Devil Here]. But don't you worry God remembers and they'll get just punishment eventually.

All things universal become meaningless. If everyone is "educated", the meaning of such a thing is necessarily reduced.
>>
>>983791
All things that exist, exist, thus existence is meaningless.

I'm in a territory inhabited by the mound builder culture. I go to work building temporary shelter and scouting the swamp, cataloguing the native factions. I build some weapons with my advanced knowledge and personally defeat the weakest faction with bows, swords, and makeshift bombs. I force the survivors into a small army of slaves, and then go to work on the next most powerful tribe. When I have enough slaves, I'll be able to build even better weapons for myself and my human shields. I soon take over all of Louisiana as the dreaded White god-emporer and found New Orleans as a toiling city of slaves moved by my godlike will as the natives outlive their usefulness as anything other but chattel.

I greet La Salle and offer myself as the first proprietor of New France

Quickly go to the nearest French fur trading outpost if I survive long enough to find it, then find a way to get a ship to bring me all the way up the St. Lawrence River, beeline southeast across the Atlantocc, round the Cape of Good Hope, and arrive at a port city on the Indus delta

Then I conquer the region

Carlists uniforms.

I have two questions /his/.

1. Would the Pan-Arabist movement have survived the 20th century if the Arabic coalition won the Yom Kippur war?

2. Would it have been able to stop the rise of Islamism as the dominant ideology in the Middle East if it did survive?

No.

No.

Islam stopped being united even before the Qur'an was written down, and Al-Wahhab invented the idea of acknowledging the insufficiently orthodox Muslims as infidels punishable by death.

There is no Ummah, only war.

Would USA still get involved into WW2 if Japanese didn't attack Pearl Harbor but still went on to invade South East Asia colonies of other Western Powers?

USA already was involved in WW2 to some extent before Pearl Harbour, they were helping to supply the Allies in Africa
>>
>>990955
Supplying allied troops and putting your own troops on the line are two different things though.
>>
>>990948
seriously, why did japan attack?

who would think attacking a nation several times your size, population, and that has access to a personal supply of war making materials with a history of stepping on smaller nations and the whole "mastering the Americas" thing?

His theory is also based on priori pseudoscience ( the best thing I've heard from praxer is how if you try to prove them wrong, you're proving them right because you "intend" to prove them wrong) and value theory posited exclusively from the standpoint of exchange.

Can you "prove" philosophical positions or statements? For example, if I'm a mathematical platonist, is there a chance I'm "wrong"? Are there any philosophical positions that are obsolete and "proven wrong"?

Has disputation ever ended? Have any philosophical questions been answered to the satisfaction of everyone? Have any theses proven immune to criticism?
>>
>>990507
Of course not. What I'm asking is is it even theoretically possible to prove a philosophical position beyond a reasonable doubt? Like, it's something I'm actually interested in. Is everything really relative?
>>
I'd say that it's impossible to be wrong about something that you can logically prove, unless it can also be demonstrated to be false.
Mathematical platonists are right, unless you can find some way to prove that numbers can't not-exist.

How come religion was a driving force for artistry and human expression for most of history, propelling artists to make great works, but these days seem to absolutely wreck everything it touches?
Is it an american phenomena, with christianity deeply tied to deeply un-expressive, repressed demographics? Is it a greater focus on conversion and exploitation rather than individuals expressing their faith? Even in recent history you could compare works like Passion of The Christ to Ben-Hur. Or (probably a bit unfairly) God's Not Dead.

Fundamentalism is a pretty new phenomen and is antimodern in its nature, which threatens concepts of art and science based on modern thought.
>>
Good shit doesn't make the headlines.

It sometimes makes the history books though.
>>
>>989498
What a bunch of crap. The vast vast majority of what the arts community appreciate and generally huge labors of art are not religious anymore, and it's not just a social climate trend, people are simply not driven to create these things as much anymore. And I mentioned Ben-Hur because it's relatively recent and was a massive project with strong marketing, compared to a modern massive project with strong marketing
it's not an outlier either, there are many modern religious works that are very weak, and many religious works 60-70 years ago that are considered very strong, both now and then.
