What is wrong with hedonism from an atheist perspective?

Because meaning != pleasure

Meaning can be just about anything. If you think meaning nothing but pleasure, than I'm afraid you still have a lot of growing up left to do

GOTHS GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY EMPIRE

even if he avoids the Ides of March he would have been assassinated later, its not like if Caesar didn't show up in the forum they would have just put their knives away and gave up, they were all committed to killing him and would have just plotted another assassination.

Besides it was Augustus that consolidated the power and laid the framework to allow Rome to swell up to the size that it did.

from what I vaguely recall, it was a woman's fault

>>767442
From what I recall that's a myth.

>>767476
oh. are there any norse accounts about vinland besides the myth?

It's an oversimplification, really. It's like saying WW1 was fought over Ferdinand getting shot.

It was about money. On both sides.

the south seceded because of slavery
the war was fought because of this secession

They haven't, its just the ones that weren't were all shit.

see Germanic barbarians

because scarcity > division of labor > male > female

Because prior to modern contraception and obstetrics women had very different lives.

The very origin of the word empire.

>>766589
yeah, it occurred to me as I was writing the post that it was also the root of the word "romanticize"

It's the final boss of religion, but it should not be preached and divulged to the masses, because it can (and does) give rise to many bizarre interpretations.

The Vendata was known as the teaching that "ended all sadness" (I'm paraphrasing here, I don't remember the right expression) and it was supposed to be taught only to high-level students who had mastered all the Vedas, the sacrifices, etc. But now stupid new agers, " scholars" (ex-hippies) and hindu gurus who want to fit in and/or make a buck teach the Vedanta in watered down youtube video format. Fuck this gay modern world man.

>It's the final boss of religion
agreed. I am yet to find a more complete philosophical system.

>but it should not be preached and divulged to the masses
agreed again. This is one of those things that you have to be mentally and spiritually ready to understand, let alone to let it sink in. Explaining this doctrine to the unprepared mind can have no good ending, even if nothing more, because it puts out the flame before it has a chance to be stoked

As for the rest, I really can't have a formed opinion. On all things cultural, historical and religious, I have been and will be alone. I majored in engineering, so none of my friends or acquaintances are anything remotely closed to interested in this kind of thing

RICH, METAPHORICAL SYMBOLISM

A compilation of a shitton of different accounts of varying validity and literary merit from across several centuries

An yes, the "Argument from ignorance".
But it goes both ways; it isn't rational to make a sure claim, positive or negative without evidence or counter evidence.

Empiricism includes such subcategories such as negativism, positivism, etc.

There are many things that have been reported to have been myths that had later turned out to be true; ie: Troy.

Is it rational the believe in the claims?
No.
Is it rational to claim everything is a lie?
No.

As to you questions as to what it is?
It's a collection of Bronze age recordings from the middle east.

Truth probably precedes matter for most materialists. The reason they're materialists is that they think materialism is the most likely fit for truth, not because it's some axiom from which even truth is derived

>>764555
Then materialists see truth as a metaphysical property?

>>764545
materialism is not necessarily the rejection of idealism. It's the conjecture that the material reality has more weight.

Compare Kant's idealism in which the entire material world is reduced to an abstract thing-in-itself which can never be accessed or interacted with.

Looks like a Amphicyonidae, a.k.a. bear dog.

Some documentary claimed it was an escaped hyena from a private zoo.

Rather than Abraham, Moses, Zoroaster, Jesus, or Muhammad being influential, it's more like a series of influential generations of religious thinkers retroactively credited their own influence over their religion to a legendary founder.

Goddamned deluded christfag
Just killing everyone you disagree with and imposing and manipulating faiths because it ensures a certain emperors power through so called 'Divine destiny' isnt gods will it is the use of faith in statecraft to control the masses and engender reforms on the entropic and endemic systems within societies.

Its the same as calling communism as divine revelation, now get on your knees and start pleasing Jesus to feel his 'salvation' all over your face.
