What if Eve and Adam took a fruit from the tree of eternal life, then took a fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and eat them at the same and then fuck.
Would Adam and Eve become gods? If not will their offspring be?
>>3199177
If God has plans and knows of the future then it hardly matters. We are all living in a hard determinist reality if that's the case.
Adam and Eve were destined to bite from the tree of knowledge because it was part of God's plan for them to do so. If it was not a part of his plan then God is not omniscient. If it was a part of his plan then Adam and Eve could do nothing to change the course of their actions. Since God is eternal every action any human being takes is predetermined.

Tell me about Chaos, the creator of everything in Greek mythology.
What was the idea the average Greek - Roman had of "It"? Did they pray to him? Also, how did they deal with the other primordial Gods and Goddesses like Night, Eros, Gaia and the others? Did they praise them too or were they "too big" to even think they would give a shit about mortals? What was the "interaction" between the Primordial Gods and the Olympian Gods?
t. Just read the theogony but would like to read your opinions.
Interesting thread have a bump. Also you might get better answers on >>>/x/ I'm not sure.
>>3199135
I doubt I would get an informed answer from /x/, besides, my question is a more "realistic" one, regarding the actual conception the average Hellenic had of them. I think the only Primordial God you ever read doing stuff is Eros/Cupid, the other ones, while of course being omnipresent and being the actual Sky, Time and Earth, rarely get any "screentime".
Chaos is the one I'm more interested about, he always existed or was the first thing to ever exist, he started everything in every version of the myth there is, he should be by any account the most important God.
>>3199127
>Tell me about Chaos, the creator of everything in Greek mythology.
1. CHAOS IS THE VOID, OR THE ABYSS —THE ABSENCE OF EVERYTHING— ALL THAT WHICH IS BEYOND/OUTSIDE THE PLEROMA.
2. CHAOS IS NOT THE CREATOR IN GREEK MYTHOLOGY; CHAOS IS A CONDITION, NOT A BEING; THE CREATOR IN GREEK MYTHOLOGY IS EURYNOME, ALSO KNOWN AS "SOFIA" BY CHRISTIANS.

Why are unions (especially for white collar workers) even a thing? It's the most diagusting, destructive marxist crap being allowed to pass as a normal thing. How has this happened from a historical perspective?
>>3199001
INSERTING "FROM A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE", OR "HISTORICALLY", INTO YOUR POST, DOES NOT TURN YOUR TOPIC INTO SOMETHING RELATED TO HISTORY, OR TO THE HUMANITIES.
RETURN TO YOUR CESS/pool/ OF A BOARD.

Thinly veiling your /pol/ garbage post with the word "historical" does NOT make it historically related. Do us all a favor and go back to your safe space.

Without unions workers in the US wouldn't have weekends off and child labor might still be a thing.
If you're not a blue collar worker or you're a disgusting NEET I guess I could see why unions wouldn't matter to you - but to a lot of people they make sure that employers don't royally fuck them over whenever its convenient for them.

If Christianity promoted rational thinking and scientific progress as /his would have you believe, why did the Catholic church then try Galileo for heresy when he published he findings? Is there an explanation as to why he was sentenced other than that he supported heliocentrism?
>>3198639
His book made fun of the pope, which was not a very smart thing to do.
Because he tried to defend his inaccurate calculations with flawed theological reasoning
Idolization of Galileo is just enlightenment propaganda desu
>>3198639
Christianity taught a very specific type of rational and scientific thinking, that is, it taught that the study of nature can serve as a window into the mind of God. This attitude allowed many natural philosophers to make many useful contributions to knowledge, but when these philosophers started finding evidence that the Bible was imperfect, the Christian attitude changed very quickly. It was too late to stop the scientific revolution, but it did manage to destroy its own reputation for being a friend to academia by persecuting the fuck out of many of the pioneers of the scientific method.
Do you believe that it is the destiny of the world to be completely absorbed into the industrialist/materialist/modernist culture and mentality, or are there still cultures strong enough to resist it? I talk about anything, from things like the decadent modern education system (developed for an industrial society) or the forced urbanization, the consumerism, etc
Is there any genuine alternative to this or it is an unavoidable fate for the world?
>>3198528
i think we are an ancestor simulation, so yes it is destiny
>>3198560
>i think we are an ancestor simulation
oh no, it's retarded
>>3198528
The "industrialist/materialist/modernist culture and mentality" will die off by itself eventually. Go read some Spengler.
>This next phase I call the Second Religiousness. It appears in all Civilizations as soon as they have fully formed themselves as such and are beginning to pass, slowly and imperceptibly, into the non-historical state in which time-periods cease to mean anything. (So far as the Western Civilization is concerned, therefore, we are still many generations short of that point.) The Second Religiousness is the necessary counterpart of Caesarism, which is the final -political constitution of Late Civilizations; it becomes visible, therefore, in the Augustan Age of the Classical and about the time of Shi-hwang-ti's time in China. In both phenomena the creative young strength of the Early Culture is lacking. But both have their greatness nevertheless. That of the Second Religiousness consists in a deep piety that fills the waking-consciousness — the piety that impressed Herodotus in the Late Egyptians and impresses West-Europeans in China, India, and Islam — and that of Cessarism consists in its unchained might of colossal facts. But neither in the creations of this piety nor in the form of the Roman Imperium is there anything primary and spontaneous. Nothing is built up, no idea unfolds itself — it is only as if a mist cleared off the land and revealed the old forms, uncertainly at first, but presently with increasing distinctness. The material of the Second Religiousness is simply that of the first, genuine, young religiousness — only otherwise experienced and expressed.

Keep i mind that by "socialism" he means something more akin to
>Through money, democracy becomes its own destroyer, after money has destroyed intellect. But, just because the illusion that actuality can allow itself to be improved by the ideas of any Zeno or Marx has fled away; because men have learned that in the realm of reality one power-will can be overthrown only by another (for that is the great human experience of Contending States periods); there wakes at last a deep yearning for all old and worthy tradition that still lingers alive.
>Men are tired to disgust of money-economy. They hope for salvation from somewhere or other, for some real thing of honour and chivalry, of inward nobility, of unselfishness and duty. And now dawns the time when the form-filled powers of the blood, which the rationalism of the Megalopolis has suppressed, reawaken in the depths. Everything in the order of dynastic tradition and old nobility that has saved itself up for the future, everything that there is of high money-disdaining ethic, everything that is intrinsically sound enough to be, in Frederick the Great's words, the servant — the hard-working, self-sacrificing, caring servant — of the State — all this becomes suddenly the focus of immense life-forces.
>The mighty ones of the future may possess the earth as their private property — for the great political form of the Culture is irremediably in ruin — but it matters not, for, formless and limitless as their power may be, it has a task. And this task is the unwearying care for this world as it is, which is the very opposite of the interestedness of the money-power age, and demands high honour and conscientiousness. But for this very reason there now sets in the final battle between Democracy and Csesarism, between the leading forces of dictatorial money-economics and the -purely political will-to-order of the Cassars.

>Charles Sanders Peirce invented symbolic quantifiers.
What are symbolic quantifiers?
Is this your homework?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantifier_(logic)
>>3198470
Why are they called "quantifiers", rather than "quantificators" or "quantors"?
Why did it take >2000 years for someone to think >hmmm, maybe be could need a symbol for the term "for some"?
Is it even legitimate to call Peirce the inventor of symbolic quantifiers, if Frege used them before?

I mean you'd think islanders would be have evolved to be pro swimmers.
>>3198449
>you'd think islanders would be have evolved to be pro swimmers
WHY WOULD ONE THINK THAT?
>>3198449
Evolution isn't an intelligent, conscious force. Anything that successfully reproduces is good enough, some traits are so advantageous that the ones that have them perform better than others in the same enviroment and have more, healthier offspring. Being an expert swimmer has obviously not been a criteria in Polynesia.
Evolved is the wrong way to describe it. They should have been skilled swimmers since their life depended on the mastery of the Ocean. You would think their community would be uniquely talented.
