Yeah if you accept babby-tier Aristotelian teleology.

Napoops will just be defeated in the next battle.

>>855547

Pretty much the same, except the history books of the napoleonic wars give a bit longer than the 'hundred days" as they have to record the huge buildups of Napoleon's neighbors after which they crush him at whatever battle it turns out to be.

After Leipzig, it just wasn't the same.

>>855554
fine, you pedantic fuck

Napoleon never goes into Russia

Whats the world like in 2016?

I wouldn't know about yours, but existential crises can end.

After diagnosed with a very serious disease that made my life literal hell and anguish for years when I was 23, coupled with painkiller addiction.I started to long for death.

I don't know did opiates cause this, but after one accidental overdose, eternal sleep sounds a very comforting thought to me.

Marcus Aurelius meditations have been only comforting book to me and his stoic philosophy itself he expounds in that book. It is a rather curious fact that he wrote it almost on his death-bed and probably under Opium according to some sources.

Dealing with pain is always worse than death and has made me appreciate the condition where there is only bliss for the body and mind (chemically or otherwise achieved), but I don't consider myself hedonist.

Get a hobby and a girlfriend

Even then, you'll probably still think aboht it from time to time. Not much can be done. Enjoy the time you jave in this life is all I can say.

Intact? Last i checked the countryside is a toxic dump.

Overpopulation

Well, you remembered to not claim oldest culture this time.

I think the trial of Charles Manson was more of the interesting ones, because he did not get even a chance to defend himself.

Not only, Charles Manson never killed anyone himself. The whole end-game seems that all the "pupils" seem to put the blame on him and take no responsibility for their actions.

People like Tex Watson were crazy amphetamine addicts who would have ended up doing something as stupid as murder with or without Charles Manson.

There weren't important enough population hotspots.

The more people you have the more you can pull more surplus resources together.

Farming played a pretty important part in this.

We did speed up a bit ~50,000 years ago (maybe due to the development/refining of language.

>mfw when philosophically uneducated people use the "positivism" straw man against every criticism of "philosophy of science"

Can you give an example of this? You mean the focus on empirical evidence?

Dunno but that looks like a pretty uncomfortable if efficient design.

The problem is always the same, how does she poop and clean herself after wards ?
That hole is small and likely out of alignment.

Looked around and could not find any coin similar...atleast with Fortuna or Ceres in them.

Also from what I saw, the pic related is more usual way Romans pictured stalk of wheat, on coins.

Ahh thanks. How about the inscription on this one? I see DNVALENTINI, I understand that as divine Valentinian, then I see INVSPFAVC. I figure invictus for the INVS, but after that I'm lost.

I had a great time at this museum, I'll dump some other pics later maybe if the thread lives.

Beauty is objective. Plebs are just too dumb to understand it.

>>858034
So what are fetishes? Why dont we all want to fuck the same thing?

>>858041
sexual attraction isn't the same as aesthetic beauty
it's a mechanism, like appetite, that's shaped by your surroundings and crude conditioning practices

They are mostly Anatolian farmers

Like other southern europeans, mostly prehistoric farmers from anatolia

>>857491
Is that what southern European means? Not actually originating from Europe?

Scientology?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cargo_cult

Cargo cults are quite interesting.

>Cargo cults often develop during a combination of crises. Under conditions of social stress, such a movement may form under the leadership of a charismatic figure. This leader may have a "vision" (or "myth-dream") of the future, often linked to an ancestral efficacy ("mana") thought to be recoverable by a return to traditional morality.[1][3] This leader may characterize the present state regimes as a dismantling of the old social order, meaning that social hierarchy and ego boundaries have been broken down.

Oh Socrates himself was permanently pissed.

How many people would live in the state of Nevada? Or North Slope? Or fucking Dade?

What the fuck even is this?

>>856990
I wouldn't mind it actually, a lot of those states actually make more sense based on local economies and culture. I really like snake Kansas and the state of Navajo.

Pure unadulterated autism is what it is.

But imagine if this is what the mainland American continent looked like. Imagine the amount of flags... Yes... How different languages would develop.

Imagine this was America from 1800 to now. How diverse and interesting the continent would've been...
