crashing this continent with no survivors

To just hold on to his power in France. Poor Napoleon was old and tired by that point. His days of conquering things were over, he just wanted a quiet life as enlightened despot.

On August 19th, 14 CE, Augustus died, and control of the Roman Empire passed to Tiberius. Around the same time, soldiers came to Planasia with orders to execute Postumus - orders that were carried out only after a terrific struggle.

In the aftermath of Postumus' death, an imposter arose claiming to be the exiled prince - he was apparently a slave named Clemens, who had accompanied Postumus to Planasia. After two years of this facade, Clemens was captured and executed by Tiberius. When he was brought into the emperor's presence, Tiberius supposedly asked him 'how did you become Agrippa?' Clemens replied 'the same way you became Caesar'.

>>954583
Agrippa was the charismatic, military muscle to Octavian's not-very-inspiring-to-his-troops, political brains.

>>954583
Speaking of Agrippa, what is the best biography of Octavian around?

>>954522
That guy saw himself as an Islamic Warrior and his descendants led the Golden Age of Islam in India.

Also his antics drove a lot of scholars from Persia & Iraq into the arms of the newborn Ottoman State.

No, Islam always was and will be a savage barbarian death cult, founded by heretics

Life has no meaning, we're just existing molds of flesh and bone.

>>953900
> molds of flesh and bone.
So is my dick yet your mum found it meaningful last night

>>953894
I find that "meaning" is a word that means "what is meant or intended to be conveyed by something" or "what is intended for something". I believe humans are the only ones able able to convey messages or intentions, so, ergo, life has no *inherent* meaning. For some reason people think this is depressing, and it should stop there, but I just said humans are the ones who have intentions. I see life as a blank canvas devoid of anything until the individual "paints" it with meaning. Just because there's nothing there doesn't mean there can't be.

No, if Aryan supremacy has taught us anything, Vikings massacring hapless civilians is the peak of honor and a warrior culture.

I am proud America has carried on that proud tradition of slaying helpless people.

We should keep it as a reminder of how far our attitudes have come

trying to smudge out the awful parts of our history harms us further

No because this isn't Germany.

It's not really an "excuse" considering libertarians believe that selfishness is good and natural

>>952549
No.

But it is made-up.

It's funny how leftists create a whole narrative about how free-market is something that no one questions, at the same time they question it all the time at the media and universities.

The problem, of course, is that left-wing intellectuals are totalitarians by nature. If something they don't follow isn't given the "racism" treatment (ie considered completely outside the pale of acceptable discourse) they think it's too much.

The fact that there is people who believe in free-markets and that this people have a voice in public discourse is enough for left-wing intellectuals to believe that such discourse is hegemonic.

>philosophical explanation
Is there a philosophical explanation for anything?

Just ask /sci/ 2bh, you might get an actual answer, or at least a few theories. Here you'll just get asspulling and conjecture followed by tired arguments.

Esoteric tradition describes Creation as a series of ascending and descending musical scales

>>951432
Musical scales, finally without the meme, are literally a social structure.

They would, like, point to things and say 'this table" or "me Hiro." And some stuff like greetings could be gathered by context. Once you get the basics you move on to more abstract concepts. Humans have dedicated brain regions to learn language, which are more active in childhood but still functional in adults, so learning language is an innate ability in most neurotypical humans.

>>950619
For each group there would likely be a few people that spoke some words of a common language. Needn't be the language of either group.

>>950619
Portuguese utilized Chinese to communicate with Nips.

Funnily enough. Portuguese was the first European language known by Nips, and when the Dutch came, the Japanese spoke to them in Huehue

in most of scifi shows and movies, whenever they want to show a race of men with high intelligence, they show them as lacking in emotions. .e.g. the vulcans in star wars and i am sure you nerds are familiar with many such examples. this has always made me wonder. it is not just the nerds that believe that lack of emotions = high intelligence but there are even legitimate scientists that seem to convey this atitude that emotions hinder logical thinking and therefore belong to those with lower intelligence.

lets look at this claim with some logic. it is widely believed by the west that humans are more feeling and emotional and less robotic like out of all the speices on this earth. infact the word 'humanity/humane' also imply that to be human is to have greater emotions and feelings. but then how is it that this same culture could produce two contradictory views. let me explain the contradiction. are humans not the most intelligent species on earth ? then how could being able to feel more emotions and feelings equate to lesser intelligence. this test can also be applied to other animal speices. the dolphins are thought to be extremely intelligent. and guess what, they are also know to express a greater range of emotions than are found among the animal kingdom. when we apply logic to both humans and animals we find that far having emotions correlating with lack of intelligence, being able express more emotions implies greater intelligence.

i am also reminded of this episode in far cry where crichton in cloned into a posible future and a possible past version of his speices. and the future intelligent version is shown as having no emotional feeling what so ever, while the past dumb version is full of emotions and passion. even back then as a young man watching that episode, something did not sit well with me about that. something seemed contradictory. but back then i could not really imagine the kind of corruption that exists in the western mind. i know better now.

breathing carbon monixide. Feel fine. Hear fire alarm beep. Sounds like my alarm clock. Think hey I feel fine its probobly malfuctioning. Decide, no i changed the batteries a month ago should be ok. Leave house. Call fire department. Fire. Not dead because listened to reason. Also its not like feeling isnt involved with reason. feelings are an important part. Like in Casablanka, the guy wants to stay, but he knows she can do better without him so he lets her go against his feelings.

He means that you can do what you want but you can not will what you want.

You can do what you want to do, but you don't have the power to choose what you want to do.

>>Do you think we can even become completely extinct?
nah, most people are hedonists and will do anything to continue being so. Nobody is born a monk and even most monks fail to stop being hedonists. The good news is that it does not matter if we die and even the scientists claim that massive extinctions happened before and yet complex life started again. if you have faith in science, you do not have to worry. if you stop being a hedonist, you do not care if you die. All is well.

HUMANS FOREVER

In less than 1 billion years the Sun will have expanded to the point that it's too hot on Earth for plants to undergo photosynthesis, so Earth will be essentially devoid of life for the last 3 or 4 billion years before the Sun swallows it.

I anticipate that climate change will cause massive migrations, which will strain our already limited resources beyond their capacity to feed us all. Massive food and water shortages, nations going to war over access to fresh water, massive riots as immigrants and refugees struggle to assimilate to their new home nations. I doubt anyone would use a nuke in such a scenario, but I'd be astonished if we weren't to lose a few billion people to droughts and famines in the next few centuries.

Of course, then there's the potential for a superbug to sweep through and kill off a lot of people, which will be easier to do once the oceans start to rise and habitable land starts to get more and more crowded.

Yes, of course we will one day become completely extinct. Happens to every single species. We will either evolve into another form of homo sapiens or we'll die out entirely. As to who the next apex predator would be, I can only assume it would be another primate. Though it'd be cool if crows or elephants took over, as they both demonstrate considerable cognitive abilities.

Planet of the Elephants. That'd be cool.

Parenthetically, I remember reading that Mount Rushmore is supposedly the one monument that will outlast everything else humans have built. It's supposed to still be recognizable in 200,000 years or something like that. Long after the skyscrapers have disintegrated back into the soil, after the houses and farmland have been reclaimed by nature, after all our bones have rotted away into dust, Mount Rushmore will still be there. So that will be the last evidence that we were ever here.
