How could it be said that eating meat was vital for the human species when from prehistoric times through the ancient civilisations and middle ages the vast majority of the population was almost completely vegetarian or (in more arid areas) vegan? Until the advent of industrial farming in late 19th century, throughout the vast majority of farming cultures animal products(probably with the exception of milk) were an extreme luxury only accessible to nobles, and only available to the rest of the population during ceremonies and religious holidays?
Nnot to mention the average vegetarian medieval peasant or khanaanite farmer were far hardier than today's average meat eating person, so clearly meat isn't that necessary for the survival of the human species.

Most of human history is pre Neolithic. We were hunter-gatherers.

As for medieval peasants, look at their heights and life spans.

>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodor_Morell

List of substances given to Hitler:

amphetamines (in Pervitin and Vitamultin form) [13]
Atropa belladonna (in Koster's Antigaspills,[13] compound containing strychnine, subject of investigation) [1]
Atropine (extract of seminal vesicles) [13]
Brom-Nervacit (barbiturate, since August 1941 a spoonful almost every night) [1]
bromides (to bring him down from amphetamine highs before sleep)
caffeine
chamolile
cocaine (via eyedrops)
E. coli
enzymes
Eukodol, or Eukodal (a trade name for oxycodone)
Eupaverinum (synthetic alkaloid) [1]
Glyconorm (metabolic ferments) [1]
Mutaflor (pills prescribed to Hitler for flatulence in 1936, the first unorthodox drug treatment from Morell; bacteria extracted from human faeces, see: E. coli) [1]
methamphetamine (crystal meth) [1]
morphine
Oxedrine Tartrate
potassium bromide
Prophenazone
proteins and lipids derived from animal tissues and fats
sodium barbitone
strychnine
sulfonamide
testosterone
vitamins

I kinda feel sorry for Hitler now. He was probably brain damaged towards the end of his life.

>Implying.

He was almost certainly a hellenized Jew who grew up outside of Palestine itself.

And as for why, isn't it obvious? Paul was the one who went out and converted the gentiles, mostly by saying you don't need to be a Jew and chop up part of your dick to be a Christian. Consequently, he got more followers than those sticks in the mud who are demanding you live by those old ritual laws.

And if that wasn't enough, the more Jewish Christians got decimated during the revolt at the end of the Julio-Claudian dynasty.

It's incomplete. One day every Jew will live in Israel.
>>
Its a testament to the artificiality of the nationalist experiment really. The Jewish communities of the time that would go on to form Israel had actually very little in common with one another outside of religious tradition and some artifacts of the Hebrew language. Jewish identity was something that had to be forged, to be convinced of: it was a construct formed out of a perceived necessity and legitimized by enduring outside hostility. All the while, they sold the existing inhabitants of Palestine as being some great "other" that stood in the way of their interests, despite that Palestinian population actually having a fair number of Jews among them that would be excluded from the new Israeli identity.

From a neutral point of view, did the British really "abuse" the colonists? If so, why did they abuse the colonists?
59 posts and 9 images submitted.
>>
Absolutely not. British were simply trying to collect their taxes rightfully owed to them by their subjects. Britain financed and provided security for the colonies, it was in their right to demand a return on their investment.

Early Americans were nothing but deadbeat hooligans evading taxes. You know what would happen to such people in today's America? They would rot in jail!
>>
>>884637
No
The British had spent an exorbitant amount of money protecting the colonies when they asked the British to do so in the 7 Years War. The taxes levied against the colonies (which were incredibly small in comparison to the taxes people on England payed) were to help pay for that.

/lit/ has this thing for Greek literature. Can we make one for Philosophy? Maybe even ones for Economy and Law?
28 posts and 4 images submitted.
>>
>>884305
Philosophy is very exhaustive and long.

Consider that the entire Greek literature list itself would be as long as an extensive list of how to cover Greek philosophy, which would really only be about 5-10% of the total philosophy. Plus this board conists of a few experts and a few extremely opinionated anons that have probably never read a philosophy book. Can you imagine what would happen when we get discussing that should be one the list to the 20th century philosophy?

Why is philosophy written in such unclear language? The most ideas are pretty easy but it is hard as fuck to read all those shit texts.
