Only reddit memesters think Tesla was a superior inventor to Edison, Tesla was an autistic lunatic with no sense of business who only got lucky once and then went into obscurity, broke and crazy. It was not only until fucking cracked.com ran a meme piece of article about him that online autists began worshiping him.

Could there have been a historical basis for the myth of Heracles?

>>926052
Actually the character of Hercules was adapted from Old testament Christianity specifically Samson. The indeed the earliest manuscript mentioning him only appears in 900AD prior to that Hercules was just a regular but attractive Man however as Christianity spread suddenly out of the need to compete pagans began to copy Samson's exploits and attribute them to Hercules like slaying a lion before outright embellishing them.

Well?

/His/ I have a thought experiment for you.

Consider the experience machine.
It is a simulated reality in which you can expect yourself the have the most fulfilling life conceptually possible. Any dream you could ever have could be realised once you step inside the machine. Your accomplishments inside the machine will still feel real, climbing Mount Everest would be difficult but ultimately you would get to the top.

The machine is self-sufficient and has been constructed so well that it cannot malfunction. Do not consider the pragmatics.

You are offered a place in the experience machine, do you choose to enter?

You will not know that you have entered the machine. It will be impossible for you to tell that what you are experiencing is ultimately a simulation.

Do not worry about friends and family, if you worry about leaving them behind imagine they too will enter the machine. They will not experience your loss.

So, do you take the offer? And why?


Lastly, I'd like you to consider the implications this thought experiment has for ethical theories such as utilitarianism which only consider the ends in their evaluations.

Perhaps the experience machine could simulate you having an the most unenjoyable life?

Why did it take so long for the US to abolish Slavery in relation other countries?
45 posts and 3 images submitted.
>>
>>925144
Because unlike Europe, the U.S didn't industrialize and when it did, only the North did.
>>
>>925144
US was way more reliant on it I think
>>
>>925144
Because other Europeans only used slaves in their colonies, so it wasn't that economically detrimental to outlaw it.

On the other hand a large part of the home American economy relied on slave labor.

This.

This is a question I don't really know where else to put.

But I was wondering, how is it possible to get more counts of murder than people you kill? For example James Holmes killed 12 people but was charged with 24 murders. How did that happen? Also he only injured 70 people but got 140 counts of attempted.

you can't unsuma the satsuma. the bullets of the gatling guns gotta be littered with the blood of the shogunate's ashigaru. tokugawa yoshinobu aka "the last of the bakufu" is not the emperor. he's an outdated traditonalist and a samurai puppet. westernization is the only way to kanpofu. TOKYO not KYOTO, ok??

A tozama daimyo and imperialist was teaching a class on Meiji, known Emperor.

”Before the class begins, you must get on your knees and worship Meiji and accept that he is your absolute king chosen by god, even greater and more powerful than the unifiers of Japan!”

At this moment, a brave, loyalist, pro-isolation fudai daimyo who had served several campaigns of submission against the enemies of Japan and understood the necessity of intrigue politics and fully supported all decisions made by the bakufu stood up and held up an ukiyo-e woodblock print of Edo.

”What is this scenery, baka?

The arrogant tozama smirked quite Chinesely and smugly replied

“An immoral cesspool of a city, beset and held ransom by foreign devils, you stupid aho.”

”Wrong. It's been 260 years since it became the capital, and if it were, as you say, beset by foreigners...then it would no longer be the capital of Japanese culture anymore.”

The tozama was visibly shaken, and dropped his fan and contraband copy of some faggot-ass Dutch book. He stormed out of the room crying those tozama crocodile tears. The same tears tozama cry for the “Emperor” (who today lives in such luxury that he need not even bother with anything resembling power) when they jealously try to undermine the stability of the Tokugawa bakufu. There is no doubt that at this point our tozama, Shimazu Tadayoshi, wished he had pulled himself up by his topknot and become more than an Imperial yes-man. He wished so much that he had a katana to behead himself from embarrassment, but he himself had traded them for Dutch firearms!

The students applauded and all turned fudai that day and accepted the shogun as their lord and savior. A wolf named “Amaterasu Ookami” flew into the room and perched atop the Tokugawa family crest and shed a tear on the chalk. "Sakura" was sung several times, and Tokugawa Ieyasu himself returned from the dead and brought unity and authority throughout the country.

The tozama lost his tenure and fief and was exiled the next day. He shamefully commited sudoku and was reincarnated as a Korean for all eternity.

To what degree do Russian (nationalists) associate their pride in their country with the USSR, especially the communist system of economic organization?
29 posts and 3 images submitted.

Russia is fucking weird because an international movement that explicitly denounced nationalism and cared only for Russia as much as it cared for every other country on earth has become a point of pride for conservative Russian nationalists.

Depends on who you define as Russian nationalists. There are a lot who are prideful for the USSR, but those who aren't can usually be imperialists or Eurasianists.
