Either into the Empty Quarter or the American frontier.
Reaching the Poles were the true golden age of exploration, but I ain't dealing with all that ice and shit.

>>576674
I honestly dont think I'd do any exploration at all.
I am into history, and have spare money, but I never traveled to see Rome or Vienna or Istanbul, despite being near them.
I can go visit any of the old european towns for the weekend, and choose not to, for years now.

I like lazy history. Sitting at home in front of the PC history, or reading in bed history.
Not exploration, and not going outside. There are bears outside. And immigrants.

Art doesn't need saving.

Modern art is quite nice. Don't like it? Then enjoy other kinds of art that's still being made.

Why do you think it needs saving, mi familia?
You're sounding like a defener.

Where you born in le wrong generation, op?

Taste is taste and can vary wildly but underneath whatever social constructs of beauty exist (for example, in several countries blackened teeth were considered a beautiful trait for women) is the dick and the lizard-brain doing whatever the fuck they want which is why it's as easy for an Emperor to get a diamond-cutter from some bright-eyed peasant girl bending over in a field as his extensive stable of literally the best pussy available.

It's hard to say. For a good chunk of history people were looking to a past definition of beauty (see: Renaissance, Romanticists, etc), so we would need to look at what the original definition was and how that came to be. If we, for example, take Grecian standards, there wasn't nearly enough food to be obese, so their definition of beauty is skewed compared to our modern lifestyle or standards. If you break it down further to "just skinny people", there are a wide number of different types of beauty in your image, noticeably facial structure, skin tone, social class, and beliefs.

Point being, your initial claim that beauty standards have been consistent is, at best, grossly disingenuous and lacking context.

My personal observation was that beauty is like a materialization of something that is symbolic, emotional and practical in which the exact identity or emphasis of those essences are constructed by individual and groups from their own experience and reflections. Just like how certain social issues may be more important or relevant to a number of people and lesser so to others, it is practical and ideal to strive to act towards the resolution of those issues. So yes, I think I'm putting more emphasis on superego than id in Freudian term when it comes to beauty and thus it should be divided into groups of people who had similar standard of beauties and their common social or personal characteristics. Speaking of which, I'm not very familiar with studies on beauty, so is there any interesting reads relating to this?

The failure of the German revolution managed to bring out all of the 'conservative' elements of the political field in the USSR and facilitated Stalin's rise to power. I would argue that it was this that marked the transition to a deformed workers state, which would then transition to a state capitalist nation after Stalin's death.

>>576078
I should add that the USSR was equally doomed to authoritarianism by the civil war and foreign intervention occurring at the same time as the failed German revolution.

>After all, if you disobeyed orders in nazi military, you would get executed,
Nope. This has been proven many, many times to not be the case.

>>576000
>Why was this defence not accepted at Nürnberger Trials?

1. "JUST FOLLOWING ORDERS" IS NOT A JUSTIFICATION FOR ANYTHING.

2. THE "NUREMBERG TRIALS" WERE A FARCE.

>>576000
Because it was a show trial, a kangaroo court, a phoney hearing.

I'm not saying aliens...but?

Cultural continuity found in Egypt, South America, Bosnia.

Anywhere where there are pyramids.

Metaphorically, the US is the new Atlantis.

Europe's rate of the Americas, by a vast margin.

The colonization of Africa was not only pretty peaceful but also resulted in unprecedented improvements in every aspect of life all across Africa. Whereas the colonization of the Americas was very underhanded and brutal.

>Rape
If by rape you mean building cities, roads, hospitals, schools...

>>575865
What the fuck are you talking about. African colonization wasn't unprecedented improvements in every aspect of life. Do you know what happened in the Belgium Congo? German Sud west Africa? Italian Libya? Ethiopia?

>>575787
You mean within the "canon" plot of the story?

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

>>575787
Using Wikipedia's shitty literalist chronology:
4246BCE
1577BCE

2669 years, not counting timelessness before Genesis 2:7

Depends on whether you believe there are infinite other universes

This is bait, right?

Not sure if bait or not. To answer your question: no, I have no guilt when it comes to the actions of others of my race. I don't see the point of feeling guilt for the actions of others simply because you share the racial make-up of the perpetrators. Why feel guilt for things you did not commit?

>>575662
>feeling guilty for something you didn't do
retarded
Also Alexander was a Macedonian Greek, IE not white.

Look at the comparative power of Britain and poortugal and you should be able to figure it out

USA isn't a third world country, fuck off.

>third world country
when will this shitty term die

also sage for /int/-tier thread.

Sunday school tier. Only children believe in the moralistic God. The true god is beyond good and evil. This universe is suffering so we might transcend it

Nice anthropomorphism.

maybe a soul is eternal, and the fawns streak of bad luck is balancing out the good luck it had in its previous lives

>deriving a philosophy from 3rd rate horror fiction

JUST

I thought it was just a theme in Lovecraft's works and not an actual philosophy. Nihilism with spooky aliens.
