Not really. Terrence McKenna was just a fucking stoner hippie who really liked eating mushrooms, and managed to make a living talking nonsense to delusional people.

I've done mushrooms. They don't make you any smarter or anything of the like. Perhaps a mushroom made some dumb early man think more about his world... but, so did hurricanes, droughts, fireflies, and predators. Lots of events, big and small, contributed to the evolution of human intelligence. To suggest that mushrooms deserve any significant amount of credit... is nonsense.

never heard of it
is it a meme ?

maybe not completely. but entheogens like marijuana and mushrooms have been used by people to alter their consciouss for milennia

I'm Argentinian, but nice ad hominem anyway. I'd appreciate actual arguments more though.

This is why mass graves existed.

Venice didn't just sell shit. They controlled supply for essentially all of western europe. Economies had to react to Venetian policies rather than be freestanding.

You're essentially complaining that Wall St doesn't do anything.

Pretty much.

Basically the dedicated nazis. Only allowed to join if you were a pure or very close to pure aryan. If I remember correctly hitter said he was going to cede a small state to himmler for the ss in the same why the Teutonic order had their own state

Shitty meme. They were basically the political thugs of the SA given hand-me-down equipment from the Heer. Their best use was charging blindly at the enemy and getting themselves cut down.

Nope. Read books.

The Church always finds a way

>Just because he didn't bodily raise himself up from the dead doesn't mean the resurrection didn't happen, he just resurrected as the holy spirit! You just don't get rich, symbolic metaphor.

I guess reconstituting yourself from ashes is a bit more impressive than reanimating one's corpse.

>>929976
The key point was that his remains disappeared which supported the claims he either resurrected or his body was stolen. This wouldn't exactly change with cremation. Actually it would make it easier to steal his remains to fake resurrection.

I'm gonna make a 10 best anime battles edit when I get home.

>pounding away uselessly at each other for four hours while the men freak out about how to even use the fucking things
Yeah, nah. Monitor v. Cumberland is more interesting because it's the hallmark of the new age demolishing the old.

Excellent joke, OP.

Reminder Spengler is for literal autists

Academics don't take Spengler very seriously. I haven't read him, so I can't give you my opinion on the matter.
>Is history
History is the progression of Being through time. There's nothing infinite or cyclical about it. There are observable patterns that we can use to make inferences given certain conditions, but whether or not there is a univesral 'theory' of history according to which X is true is a different story entirely.
>when did the West begin to rise?
Probably with Charlemagne, sometime in the 13th century, or during the Renaissance. I don't know which.
>When did it peak?
The Victorian era.
>When did it start it's decline?
Whether or not it's in decline is questionable. Western civilization is capable of restructuring itself. If it doesn't currently resemble its 17th-century self, that's because it had to change to adapt to centuries of shifting conditions.
>When and how will it fall?
It will probably be the Jews' doing.
>What even is the West?
The idea of Freedom, demonstrated in history.

Someone will point out how he lost about half his battles.

But still I don't think there any others who are as good as him. Didn't Pompey wreck the shit out of the pirates?

Nelson wasn't even the best British naval commander in history. He managed to win the one battle that counted the most, and win it at a time when the public needed a to put a face to British naval power. Much like Kurt Cobain, most of his popularity comes from the timing of his death. Even Wellington didn't like him: "He [Nelson] could not know who I was, but he entered at once into a conversation with me, if I can call it conversation, for it was almost all on his side and all about himself, and in, really, a style so vain and silly as to surprise and almost disgust me".

My vote goes to Admiral Yi or de Ruyter.

Except history provides perfect examples of philosophical lessons. Also, some of the most famed artworks convey popular scenes from history. It's only natural that they blend.

at the moment of my submitting this post, 24 of the first 35 threads (first four lines of the catalog) are history related, not humanities related

I think you mean theology should be split off, it's nothing more than atheist and theist shitflinging now, hardly from the theist camp currently


the rest of the humanities can stay

Bottom of a cup I dug up in greece, even has the artists signature

There was a knight who did this and he got excommunicated
He was the first person in history to do so.
He later recanted his views and died in good standing with the church though

Depending on how charasmatic you are i think. If not important the Church will probably just tell you why you are wrong and maybe kill you if you continue. Probably likelier a mob killsyoufor it.
