I know that hunter-gatherers spent little time working, as to peasants working farms, they had tons of holidays to party and drink shitty beer.

This.

It was pretty shitty being a peasant in the Middle Ages, but working super-hard wasn't one of the reasons for it. Thanks to the Church's calendar of feasts and holy days, people up and down the economic ladder constantly got time off. Granted, much of this time off was spent in prayer and fasting and at Mass, but it was still time they weren't required to work.

The Mona Lisa was a great source of national pride for the French, along with many other pieces in the Louvre that were moved before the occupation of Paris.

thanks anons. I guess I can bump the thread with more information about the show. It's a silent clown show that gets progressively more absurd until the Nazis and servants have a dance off to the music of popular dance offs in film. In a way we're trying to create art that Hitler would have labeled degenerate and we're drawing heavily from Dada stuff. Other influences include Buster Keaton and the like

Reminder that you should never read Hegel's Philosophy of History without understanding his Phenomenology first.

"Philosophy" of History is nonsense.

Consider that nothingness could potentially have been experienced by those who are dead.
Unfortunately, we can't talk to dead people.

>>893005
>If the Universe is the sum total of all things, does the idea of nothing exist

Only metaphorically. What you are saying has been put forth by the Greek Monosts thousands of years ago. Today we know empirically that true vacuums do not exist.

So you can say "there is nothing the pot" and it makes sense because by nothing you are just mean nothing visible the the naked eye. This has the interesting consequence of making it so the universe is eternal, since a universe that is not eternal would have to involve a "nothing" either at the start or end.


>>893027
Dead is a just a state of being where the material of the body is in decay. Or if you want to get into spirtual stuff their "soul" has moved to another realm. In either case there is no "nothing" because the matter still exists and the other realm would not be "nothing".

Death is ultimately a human word to describe the particular state of some items.

>>893027
That's why I'm asking if there is no way to prove it how can be be sure it exist or that we can experience it. It's about as convincing as heaven or hell.

He wasn't the greatest, though he was underrated

>>892957
He's my personal favorite, definitely the smartest in the past 50 years.

>>892965
Some argue he was the greatest of all time, however.

>>892858
No. "the Bible" as a unified entity has never existed even in Greek. There existed a plethora of manuscript traditions in the Byzantine Empire with varying degrees of overlap with the tradition in the wild west.

>>892858
Yes, NT is written in Greek.
and Dave Ramsey is a fraud. Literally called indeux funds as marxism to appease his mutual fund advertisers.

If you take financial advice from him you deserve to get fucked. Equal to glenn beck listeners who bought from gold line.

>>892902
Yes but the language has surely changed since then.

Also this isn't about Dave Ramsey, look at the file name.

I can't say I know much about occult traditions, but almost all of the Jewish ones would have come from Egyptian, Canaanite or Mesopotamian earlier traditions.

So I'd have to say I'm skeptical of his point.

>>892787
Yes. Most of it comes from Kabbalah. That's because most pagan esoteric traditions were completely obliterated, or transformed by the Church.

Jews however, were somewhat tolerated, and allowed to practice Judaism even in Christian societies. Because Jews lacked the same kind of central authority of the Church and were allowed to exist, this let them have esoteric traditions not found elsewhere in the Western world.

Because of this, it was the only secret esoteric knowledge that was permissible to study as well, because Judaism was the root of Christianity.

Some sort of supernatural agency.

Depends a bit from culture to culture and there's some degree of difficulty in translating some related concepts. Like western dragons and Chinese dragons - they are not very alike, but the closest concept the westerners had to it was "dragon" so they pinned that label on that Chinese mythological creature.

Multiple definitions for multiple uses. "Deity(1) is a definition useful from an anthropology perspective, where it is anything humans have historically worshipped and needn't imply any specific characteristics beyond that. "Deity(2)" is useful from say a theological perspective, where within a specific framework to be a deity the subject must meet arbitrary criteria a b c d and e, whereas in another theological framework it must meet arbitrary criteria f g h.

There doesn't need to be one definition thst encompasses every single possible usage context. The Sun was a superhuman being "deity" according to Aten, but not to you or I (probably.)

>>892654
It's just an abstract that has moral and spiritual authority, don't overthink it

The war would have definitely gone on longer. However, the whole Sicilian debacle showed just how much the people of Athens could be convinced to support insane strategies, so there's no guaranteeing that the Athenians wouldn't vote for another venture just as disastrous as the Sicilian one. (I have to admit, though, the Sicilian expedition came very close to succeeding a number of times during the campaign, and total disaster could have been averted as well)

>>892636
True, if the Athenians had followed Lamachus' strategy and attacked Syracuse early it could have been a different story or at least given Athens more of a chance with a foothold in Sicilicy, Alciabiades even had plans to use Sicily as a stepping stone to Carthage, now thats a conflict i would have loved to see!

>>892669
yeah, had Athens took Sicily it well could have won the war against Sparta and its empire would have been perpetuated. The balance of power would have shifted irreversibly as Athens now had a resource and strategic base vaster than Sparta or the Thebans had they joined. It also would have been interesting to see how it dealt with Carthage. Considering their similar political structures and economic might they might well become trading partners or allies. imo Carthage was not really that much of a warmongering nation.

Every nations that fired a gun.
About my country, France, some soldiers started going on strike against war.
They were executed "for example" without a real trial.

>>892526
I still think there's a difference between executing people that are refusing their national duty (However stupid that duty may be) and executing some civilians because you fear some other guys may kill you.

literally what

>>892409
It's a legit movement. Although it's rooted in butthurt. Since everyone kept calling them Mongols, they basically manned up and ran with it.

>>892409
The latter, it's a really annoying meme. Russians think it's a perfect way to legitimize their imperialism, since apparently being neither European nor Asian makes them their own "civilization" with "unique values", shielding them from criticism and accusations of backwardness.

>>892430
It's legit in sense that many Russians actually think like that but it's not feasible to implement it in real life.
