I think you dismantled an antique fingerbox. But I'm no expert on older ones.

No name on it, but I believe it is something used to shave with.

Between Voltaire and Rousseau, or in general? Locke and Rousseau are equals at the top, I'd say. Rousseau is not well liked around here, and maybe for good reason. To judge that, I suppose we'd have to look at the degree to which Western society accepted the ideals of the individuals involved. Rousseau and Hobbes appear to have 'lost', so to speak, because society turned away from absolutism and never even considered returning to the so-called natural state.

>Locke and Rousseau are equals at the top

Locke and Voltaire, rather. My mistake.

The enlightenment was a cancerous mistake.

Just aim for a balance of maximizing both at the same time.

I don't know shit about philosophers. How about Aristotle and his Golden Mean.

>>890083
Also, I like Erich Fromm, which shouldn't be very much liked around here (not as much a philosopher as other occupations, also not very autistic or a Nazi). In "To have or to be?" he argues a different way to live, without trying to maximize anything, but putting emphasis on living and experiencing life itself instead, but not necessarily in a hedonistic way.

Will to power.

Are they underrated?

What's life like in Egypt and Bactria under the Achaemenid Persia?

>>890066
The recent what?

Why are you holding a cup with your feet?

Peak in some ways, not in others.

A 96er wouldn't understand our obsession with the internet, particularly social media. They also wouldn't understand the existential angst the West feels over terrorism//financial crisis/the rise of China/government surveillance.

But they'd still think it's a trough, because us 2016ers would all seem like needlessly serious, self-centered, self-righteous people to them, and these qualities come about through hardship.

given that many people have attempting to seek truth and they all fail to persuade somebody else than themselves that they have found it, tell us why you choose to cling to the fantasy of truth ?
do you reject the principle of induction ?

US Christians creepy, sycophantic love for Jews as the chosen people is fucking weird. They still believe they're going to hell, anyway.

Modern American Left Behind-tier Protestants are an embarrassment and an insult to millennia of Christian religious, intellectual, and philosophical tradition.

Israel needs to exist so the temple can exist so sacrifices can exist so etc. with the end goal of Jesus returning.

China and Rome pretty much invented fastfood for merchants on the go.

Well, not exactly fastfood, but Bistro style eateries that just shat out food for sale and ready to eat.

Also fastfood pretty much popularized and solidified Chopsticks as THE Chinese utensil par excellence (fun fact: they had spoons and forks too). Because Chopsticks enabled you to eat anywhere. You don't need a table. You can eat on the deck of your ship, on your cart, or if you're a porter, on foot. It's versatile.

the Romans put a kind of fish sauce called garum(i think?) on loads of their food, there is even a hill somewhere in Italy where grass has grown over an ancient Roman landfill composed of old garum amorphae

There is some ancient Egyptian cookbook in my collection. Haven't read it in a while, but i remember one of the things they ate was a lotus bread.

I also have a couple of books on the Sumerian diet and they basically smothered everything in onion and mint.

Read about the daily lives of aztecs, the nobles knew how to throw feasts. Some of the memorable dishes i remember are turkey egg tamales, a "cheese" made from flies, posole but with human meat, and amaranth/blood mix snacks.

I imagine Persians ate a lot of the same foods that are still eaten today in Iran.

It's late here, but this topic used to interest me a ton. I've cooked ancient recipes from around the world, Most cultures you choose will have at least one book dedicated to their cuisine. Pick and read up.

Europe hasn't witnessed peace for more than 30 years in total. A battle that ensnared the whole world was what 65 years ago?

Why do euros act high and mighty with only 2-3 generations of tenuous peace on their soils but continued proxy wars and coup support throughout the world?

>Since the information was more tightly controlled in the past than is possible now, if anything, past history is many times less accurate than the information future generations can gather from our era.
There's a lot of assumptions packed into this one thing.

Also you also assume that lies and myths aren't worthy of study in their own right.

>>888657
Historians prefer to work with sources that were produced without political intention, like births and deaths rolls, or monestary accounting tables.

We also spend 10 years a historian training them how to read for bias ("hermeneutics" or "reading").
