there would have been another buddha, since the dhamma is discovered perpetually.

>>544579
Buddhism is a synthetic belief in Asia, not a prime religion. Without it you would still have Confucianism and Taoism in most of East Asia, with Shinto mixed in in Japan. Basically exactly what you have now except for no Buddha or meditation (probably).

Cool thread. Two of my favorite topics

Don't know if this music is closely related to its ancient version, but taking into account that Afghanistan and eastern Korasan are regions where times almost stood still, I dare to post this:

Also here are some Song dynasty compositions: http://www.silkqin.com/06hear.htm#tangsong

Then there's this; Etenraku, a traditional Japanese court melody (gagaku) dating from at least the Heian period.

That's funky as hell.

Sure.

Behaviorism is the most retarded shit ever. And it's all that those pop-psychology twats ever talk about. Go on reddit and ask for a "good social manipulation/trick" and you read the most retarded shit. Repeating the name of the person. Or reproducing their gestures and body language.

It's such 19th century bullshit. Even Freud has a more modern grasp of the human soul than those retards.

I want to analyze the psychology of pornstars.

Why would they take hundreds of dicks for probably less than $900 at a time? Do they think about the fact that children are watching them get rawdogged by other dudes? Are the complacent with the fact that their videos are giving people ED, cuckold, and disgusting fetishes?

How do they still have normal friends when they're getting pounded like every week? Does this strain their family's relationship? Why are they smiling and laughing on their social media pages when their profession is arguably the most frowned upon in the entire world?

I would like to sit down with one of them and ask them this and see how'd they respond. It's interesting, but I mainly want to get down to why it seems like the people involved in that industry are so indifferent to the suffering they cause.

>>543142
I want to study psychology. Can psychologists give me some advice?

6 I think they're open to interpretation, and should be interpreted rather than being read literally, but the techniques done so should be developed by theological disciplines, not the way you'd analyze something by Joyce or the like.

Nice meme. Take your own advice though.

>How would the world be different today if religion never had existed

The world would be much less rich without mythology and great works of human imagination

On the other hand senseless cruelty born from superstition like human sacrifice wouldn't occur.

There would need to be some educated organization to gather knowledge without the work of early monks and priests

Overall nothing would really change. Humans are assholes when it suits us.

>major world wide focus on science took its place
We'd probably be a bit more advanced if the actual "Scientific Method" took off during the stone age

The danger is this

>history is being rewritten/revised
>majority believes in the lie

>..some people do research and uncover the truth
>majority accuses this minority of being history revisionists

I can't count the times I've been called a "tinfoil" or "conspiracy nut" by retards.

It's silly to think something can't be beneficial to anyone because it's following an ideology; especial that it can't be beneficial to those following said ideology.

>>560432

Please, History is being revised everyday.

You're right OP, you're the only one on the planet who has everything figured out and it's totally a shame that you don't get all the Nobel prizes and Superbowls

That's why we need Islam, inshallah

>If the world has all the resources to make everyone equal and help those who are in direct need, why don't they?

Because they don't and you can't and you shouldn't. Attempts to do so are the biggest source of evil in our age.

Killed more Russians than Hitler so I love him.

After the development of the stirrup chariots were obsoleted.

Celtic chariots were operated on rolling terrain.

Terrain doesn't matter because fields of battle tend to be picked and limited in archaic war, continuous front warfare was developed in the 19th century.

>>557998
Chariots initially were the only way you could use horses as transport

Because they used to be fuck tiny and very skittish about cunts on top of em.

People from Central Asia/Eurasian STeppes then figured out how to ride them by breeding bigger breeds and breaking them in by making them used to the idea that a cunt on top of em isnt gonna kill them.

Probably lack of suitable terrain mostly. Does anyone whether a chariot or a rider could cover the same distance quicker?

fucking gommies killing anarchists on their side instead of fascists

Why? Spain would've turned into another commie shithole. Instead Franco saved the day and paved the way for 50 years of prosperity.

Post 2/2


Here's where my own personal spiritual beliefs come in:

I believe that when we die we return to a higher level of conciousness, in the 4th and 5th dimensions. I also believe that our existence in this lower dimension is something that our higher dimensional selves have volunteered for, as there are lessons and knowledge that can only be acquired while living in this lowered state of conciousness. I believe the extremes of Joy, Pleasure, Glory, Anguish, Pain, and Suffering can only be experience in this lowered state of conciousness. It is that extreme balance of potentialities that makes existence in this level of conciousness the most bountiful source of knowledge and wisdom.

Finally, I believe that it is extremely critical that we understand that it is our duty to do as much as we can to leave this world a better place than when we entered it. There is most likely great benefit for attempting to do so, and even greater benefits for actually succeeding. There may not be consequences for failing, but I'm sure that there are significant consequences for refusing to try.

>This means that each individual life happens for a reason, which is another way of saying that every life has a PURPOSE.
no it doesn't

I'm here for a reason, yes - my parents had sex in just the right position at just the right time for myself to be the one that was born, it could have been any other of the sperm cells but I was the first one in because of this timing, position or any other events that took place
does this mean that I have a purpose? no
