Don't mean to hijack the focus, but I think that the Genovese+Venetians did more for mainland Greece and its islands than the Byzantine Empire with its focus on Constantinople and Anatolia ever did.

So we all know the hostilities between turkey and Russia, not only with ISIS but with religious (russia is heavily orthodox and turkey owns Constantinople) so if Russia invaded turkey, would nato get involved? Would it spell a Third World War? Comment what you think would happen.

Maybe you should know that the division of those states was one of the reason of the collapse of italian economy in the second part of 1600...

This is probably a very retarded question, but please explain to me conquest of strongholds. I never understood it. Why would an attacker ever siege it? Why not ignore it and just take the land around it?

*the concept of. Not conquest.
>>
What do you mean "the land around it"? Are you suggesting just creating another control point?
>>
>>784718
That's an intelligent question actually.
First of all, castles and strongholds knew their peak during the great invasions of the middle ages. It was a simple strategy: riches, peoples and supplies (grains and animals) from a certain piece of land could be easily defended for weeks or even months behing wooden (later stone) walls. The raiders often sought loot, not conquests.

During "traditional" wars strongholds are often strategical: they can lead to the sea or along a trade route.

Is Existential Inertia or Divine Conservation true?
Are there any good arguments anywhere?
17 posts and 1 images submitted.
>>
>>784303
>The “existential inertia” thesis holds that, once in existence, the natural world tends to remain in existence without need of a divine conserving cause.

The laws of physics as we understand them suggest that yes, once a universe starts to exist, it will continue to do so. Arguments for this are many, but are of a highly technical nature.
>>
>>784309
In what sense do the laws of physics exist?
>>
>>784312
Just wanted to add that you speak of it like it works just like divine conservation but say that these laws are part of the universe.

I'm very curious how you parse the laws of physics in the sense you refer to them in >>784309 from divine conservation.

By far his worst podcast (of his 'modern' ones)

Talks a whole lot of shit about nothing for a for a few hours, without any coherent story.

I know claims of Nazi occultism are typically sensationalist and very /x/ related, but I've heard so much about Nazi occultism I thought I might as well ask better read (if at all) imageboard "historians"
Were there any true claims to Nazism, Hitler, and occultism? Was there something spiritual (for lack of a better word) about Nazism, or was it mainly a materialist political movement?

It existed but wasn't taken nearly as seriously, the idea is more commonly used now thanks to Indiana Jones more than anything.
>>
I don't think Hitler himself ever put much stock into Occultism (or religion of any sort). It was mostly a few other Nazis, but it never became a central part of the movement.

At least, I think so.
>>
>>782007

Himmler was a nutjob who believed in all sorts of weird shit. Hitler loathed him for it and actively tried to undercut his projects. I can't seem to find it right now, but he mocks a lot of Himmler's Theosophy-based beliefs in an early speech.

/his/ was there ever a Greek God of not sleeping? I just had this really weird dream and around the end there was this thing about the God of not sleeping and I was just wondering if there actually was a God of not sleeping.
21 posts and 3 images submitted.

I would assume that the daemon personification of sleep (Hypnos) would determine whether or not people go to sleep at all.

Also, according to Greek myth, there was once a very brief period where nobody died at all, because Thanatos, the daemon of death, ended up getting the 50 Shades of Gray treatment
>>
>>779098
Did Hypnos have any enemies in the myths? In my dream the god of not sleeping didn't get along with him.

Did you try Googling "the oh God of not-sleeping"?

Because absolute monarchs didn't want to give up their powers in the first place?
>>
>>794830
Maybe it had something to do with, I dunno, the rise of the bourgeoisie and capitalism?
>>
>>794830
Democracy supported by capitalism is essentially feudalism except that power is no longer linked to the ownership of land and divine noble bloodlines, but to money and merchant pleb bloodlines.

Wake me up.
