PROOF? EVIDENCE?

But that's using an arbitrary definition of health that you yourself have decided upon. It's circular logic, isn't it?

Can you verify that?

1. Diogenes

Everyone else

>2. Jesus

Are you kidding? I thought this was a list of real actual people who existed.

>>822310
Jesus was a real historical figure, only autistic fedora tier atheists deny that

Evolution doesn't mean progression. It just means better at fucking out loads of little guys to fuck out their own loads and so on.

>are laws a perversion to evolution

Evolution has no goals, it's just a process, and it often involves trade-offs between multiple interacting factors, such as between natural selection and sexual selection.

>>821543

are laws impeding our progress?

meh, the golden age was dead by that point.
platonism and stoicism took their stranglehold.

Fallibilism

There are tremendous insights to be gleaned by people who managed to see things needle-like.

However, I'm on your boat of seeking out a sum of the most "helpful/insightful"

Honestly, I'd be good with just Marcus with healthy incursions into Heraclitus and doses of Epicurus (Plato and Aristotle are both maybe just a bit too deep for practicability)


If you're willing to adventure beyond the Greeks for a reconcilable group that'll set you up for life

Marcus Aurelius, "Meditations"
Lev Tolstoy, "Gospels in Brief"
Ludwig Wittgenstein, "Tractatus" & "Investigations"
The Tao Te Ching or Te Tao if that version floats you
The Collected Writings of Abraham Lincoln (read this in conjunction with the Tao)

Dashes of Schopenhauer, the Bhagavad Gita. A slim volume on Zen

>>821461
yes

No, the mass murders and brutal oppressive dictatorships are why the West doesn't like communism.

Corporations can work with communist regimes

>>821350
Well, Salahadin continued to conquer North Africa. The Holy Lands were just the Stalingrad of the jihad these days.

I wonder whether the Ottmans were so in first place or if they've just adopted the Greek culture of Constaninople.

You gotta understand, for us Muslims the crusades were like a bullied group of autists who showed up with a big plan to shoot up a school over some old slight only to have their guns fail them so they start stabbing each other

The MONGOLS were fucking horrifying though

>>821350
Kind of. It's more a case that the Crusades weren't distinguished from any other sort of Western or Eastern Christian threat, and Western historians like to categorize these things to the point where people start missing the forest for the trees.

The specific campaigns of specific years by specific Frankish princes didn't get as much press as they obviously did in Europe. But the Muslims did consider Franks overall as a major threat for their conquests in Sicily, Spain, North Africa, and their pirate raids on the eastern Mediterranean.

Ruse of War. It's legit. It's like using camo.

It was a stupid ending to a really stupid war, can't the fucking Spartan dumbass king marry someone else? Can't Paris just fuck off?

>Why didn't Islam ever catch on in most of India
It did. 14% of the current population of India is Muslim, and that doens't include Pakistan and other places that are historically in the Indu sphere. Islam did appeal to the lower castes, from whom a large percentage of today's Indian Muslims descend from. If by your question you mean:
>Why didn't Islam ever have a super majority in most of India?
The answer is because of the lack of forced conversion, national pride in those that didn't want to convert despite the benefits of doing so, and other imaginable social feelings (no doubt resentment, especially of upper class hindus, etc.)

>>821099
>fact
Yes.
>Worse than Holocaust
Less people died, but both were horrible experiences.

>>821099
its the holoaust of the orient, both in how terrible it was, and how much the victims use it to gain political points even though the nation that commited said crimes payed reparations a long time ago.

>>821171

Berber as a linguistic family is very new compared to other afroasiatic languages

North Africans were originally Black and the oldest haplogroup is subsaharan

Tebu a nilo-saharan group found in southern Libya and Chad founded the first black african Islamic kingdoms and nations conquering the native Sao culture.

3. When Christ asked to be forgiven in the Garden of Gethsemane, he said for it to be in the Father's will, not his will. Showing that he deferred to the Father. In Islam, the Father deferred to him, and saved him. This seems inappropriate.

4. Though more reasonable Muslims don't consider all artistic depiction to be wrong, most who are serious still think it is wrong to depict Mohammed. This grants enormous prestige to Mohammed in a way that is close to deifying him, since it is suggesting any depiction of him would be an idol, as if one were depicting God himself.

5. All Muslims besides Quranists place values on Hadiths, but they widely disagree on which Hadiths are valid. This is a serious issue because Hadiths give moral imperatives, which means that if you don't take particular ones as valid which are, you are disobeying moral injunctions. Now either moral injunctions came from God, or they did not. If they did, then it is a serious flaw that there was not system to determine which are valid left behind by Mohammad (since they weren't actually committed to writing long after his time), such as Ecumenical Councils. And if they are not from God, then they are completely optional, making Quaranists objectively right.

Didn't read. If you're a christfaggotard you have no right to criticize Islam as you all stem from Abraham flacid, circumcised penis.

We have an agreement Akhi.

Just like Germany. Germany was raped twice (literally by the Ruskies during the 2nd world war) and lost loads of territories. And yet they are once again the continental European hegemon (under the guise of EU and ECB)

Sorry wrong picture

Studying ancient history is such a horrible job becuse you never know what percentage of the information you read in chronicles is bullshit. Studying daily life of people back then is fine but details about famous events and individuals? Useless.
But there was Diogenes the Dog. Hence the name of the school: cynics.

Can't find his channel but there's some African-American guy that does really bad history videos about Africa. I know that's broad but it's the best I can think of.

>>820550
I actually found this guy before this thread, his research is correct, he did a video on braveheart and his facts on William Wallace were right. I know because I've been studying Scottish History at university

>>820550
>>820635
But I will give you the point that he is annoying

>>820325
Because the future closes in on visionaries and idealists.

>>820325
Because we're all running out of time.

Not everyone. If you do not have purpose, whether you have five decades, or five years to live, makes no difference.
