>Morality is the preserve of religion meme.
Pretty sure the bottom line of morality stems from prehistoric societies going "lets not do bad shit to each other as we mutually agree that it sucks."

Hence the fact that the Golden Rule showed up in many unrelated societies.

>There are of course humble atheists, but even then they seem to find the degree of humility asked for in Christianity
It is, it literally upholds poverty as a virtue.

You mean like the Melian dialogue?

>It is, it literally upholds poverty as a virtue.
You don't think it's virtuous to give away all your money to the poor?

>>467844
Humility is the seventh Virtue, the one not directly connected to the Three Pronciples and arguably the most important of them because of it.

Where were you when Karl Popper's opinions still weren't an objective standard for evaluating all human pursuits?

>where were you when the humanities departments have hunted falsifiability into extinction?
When did Kuhn publish "structure of scientific revolutions" and highlight the problem of incommensurability again?

You know how blacks are trying to rewrite history by making Egyptians black? Like that, only much much worse.

Cute girl, pity she had to ruin herself with a nosering.

Significantly more human sacrifice.

Thats a good flag, should have kept it.

>Existentialism & Absurdism
what is the difference exactly?

Everything is pointless. I don't want to talk about it.

>>466894
I find there is no meaning in what we do day to day. But there is the answer of why we exist,what happens after death and many other questions about life that still keep me interested.

Monarchy/autocracy may work better in the short term if you have a great leader but in the long run it becomes shit

>>466767
Democracy also can fail if incompetent leaders are selected

The UK gets some sweet tourist dollars from their monarchy.

I've heard about a theory which suggests they went to Switzerland and laid the foundation for Switzerland's banking culture.

Mostly to heaven.

Waverly Station, Edinburgh's rail hub. It is the only railway station in Britain, and possibly the world, to be named for a fictional character, Sir Walter Scott's 'Waverly'.

The causeway out to Cramond Island. The island formed part of Edinburgh's naval defences in the WW2. You can visit the island by walking across the causeway at low tide, but you need to get back before high tide or you'll be stranded. The large concrete spikes to the right were built during the war to stop submarines or shallow-draft vessels infiltrating past the island at high-tide.

What's worse is when they call the rise of fascism "capitalist triumph" or some other retarded shit.

You're forgetting that Third Way economics was an attempt to create a tightly controlled capitalist (corporatist) economy.

I laugh every time people try to use the dictionary strawman of Fascism, as it is a one size fits everything.
When in reality, Peroism, National Socialism, Francoism, and Fascism are all very different things.

I would define fascism as "for the health and well being of the people".
As in capability, not equality, not liberty.
