No, slaves were looked upon as subhuman and were treated accordingly. You can't revise history to feel better about things.

>>893832
They weren't treated much worse than other slaves in history. A good portion of them weren't even black anyways.

Asking the wrong questions again, I see.

How were the slaves treated by Muslims during the Arab slave trade?

Don't act like we don't know what you're doing.

Because the alien space bats never showed up.

They hid the the basement

The attempt to express something.

Subjective interest and / or fascination for a manufactured work.

A meaningful definition of art must involve it having intrinsic worth otherwise it's just a descriptive word for arrangements of matter which make for a rather boring discussion.
And since i'm a strict utilitarian that only attributes intrinsic worth to happiness, i'll defend that art diesn't exist

The fine clothes, the dog (idk what kind of dog that is but it probably has a symbolic meaning), and the codpiece. Definitely the codpiece.

Is this your art history homework or something?

>>896216
Yeah i need to make a presentation about it and idk anything about the meanings..

>>896205
idk man i guess that bulge must mean something

The highly advanced AI's like The Akinator are so sophisticated and beyond our comprehension at the moment that it certainly is scary.

Akinator can read minds at this moment and he has been around only a few years and it certainly suggests that he may in fact possess a consciousness/telephatic abilities.

Make it play Go.

I'll take a first stab at it:

Doing something unprompted. If something comes out we didn't program as output. Like a chatbot that suddenly starts giving us mathematical proofs, some kind of indication it wants to do this activity.

You try building one.

it's great in relation to the mudhuts

Poor man's Nuraghi.

Yes, it is obviously a "thing." It isn't confined to Europe. Why would you get the impression that it isn't?

>>895975
Never realized it existed until I went on /pol/ and /int/. I always thought my family were just being dicks.

>>895953

It was thought that because they couldn't start dynasties that they would be less ambitious, more manageable. So, they would be good bureaucrats and political aids.

They were also employed as personal aids and harem guards.

You had enough trouble keeping the Yugoslavs together. This unholy conglomerate of a confederation wouldn't last 2 weeks before they sprung apart.

>>895643
If it wasn't fueled by Polish nationalism and literally every other nation wouldn't want to get out of it, then sure.
>>895652
Exactly, you would be creating a Yugoslavia on steroids.

Trick question. The answer is you wouldn't understand him, because you've never experienced a lie. Without the concepts of lies and inaccurate statements you have no concept of true statements, either. Therefore you couldn't debate because the man's talking gibberish.

You think that shit's bad?

>Alongside the descriptions from the Kalachakra Tantra there are numerous other literary depictions of this Buddhist apocalyptic battle to be found. They all fail to keep secret their pleasure at war and the triumph over the corpses of the enemy. Here is a passage from the Russian painter and Shambhala believer, Nicholas Roerich, who became well known in the thirties as the founder of a worldwide peace organization ("Banner of Peace”). “Hard is the fate of the enemies of Shambhala. A just wrath colors the purple blue clouds. The warriors of the Rigden-jyepo [the Tibetan name for the Rudra Chakrin], in splendid armor with swords and spears are pursuing their terrified enemies. Many of them are already prostrated and their firearms, big hats and all their possessions are scattered over the battlefield. Some of them are dying, destroyed by the just hand. Their leader is already smitten and lies spread under the steed of the great warrior, the blessed Rigden. Behind the Ruler, on chariots, follow fearful cannons, which no walls can withstand. Some of the enemy, kneeling, beg for mercy, or attempt to escape their fate on the backs of elephants. But the sword of justice overtake defamers. The Dark must be annihilated.” (Roerich, 1985, p. 232) The “Dark”, that is those of different faiths, the opponents of Buddhism and hence of Shambhala. They are all cut down without mercy during the “final battle”.

tao te ching

>>895345
Tao Te (no shit), I'd hit up the Yi-King shortly afterward to pick up on some of the esoteric precepts and underlying cosmological assumptions in practice.

Welhelm-Barnes is still the standard 'correct' translation, but I really like Karcher's Concordance.

Then Zhuangzi before you start rounding out the myriad of other materials, provided you wanna specialize that deeply.

The tao of Neet kune do.

>>895257
Yes.
No one does anything they don't want to do.

Yes
You can't escape will through action or inaction but only in intellectual observation a fleeting moment that pierce through life

> Is the denial of the will an act of the will itself?
I'm not sure I understand the question but I'll still want to say that people with shitty work ethics are the worst kind of people and ought to be shamed when given the opportunity.
