Your parents have remortgaged their house to give you the opportunity of going to NYU. You're extremely excited about your new life and sophisticated social milieu. Your friends went to Amherst to get an intimate teaching experience but you know that being in New York will put you in contact with all of the world's leading thinkers.

It's your first day in the interesting looking course you took in the German department. You get to class with your empty notebooks. The students in the front row are carrying umbrellas, no doubt for their avant-garde art projects. A homeless man is sitting in the classroom. Less bohemian institutiona would have escorted him out but clearly this is a group which respects the class struggle. What a place to be!

Suddenly you realise the hobo is the lecturer.

Why have Baltic countries never developed anything like a confederation or at least a loose alliance?

I know you want to group them because they have a similar size, and it would look cute, but one of those have very little to do with the other 2. Just take a look where the capital cities are located and you will understand.

So is it because Lithuania was Slavs' bitch while Estonia and Latvia wanted some of that sweet Hanseatic dosh?

Why did people come up with so many fucking names for Germans?
34 posts and 2 images submitted.
>>
Because typically when a place has their own language, they will make up a name for a country's people. You could say that for any country.
>>
Because Germany is a social construct.

Is the monotheism the euthanasia of the human logic?
I'm from Italy (so sorry for the poor english), a country historically Christian, so I was raised with the principles of Christianity and theology was part of my education until the end of the middle school.
They always told me that the Hebraism was such a "revolutionary" religion because it was the first one (maybe it is not true) to be monotheist.
My question is: what's so revolutionary about monotheism?
As our society teaches, I think that is way more rational to imagine a "pantheon" of gods with specific jobs, instead of an omnipotent god that runs alone the entire industry.
Not to mention the pradoxical nature of the concept of omnipotence, which can't be solved without fall into the "limitation of human knowledge" (I think everyone knows about the paradox of God and the rock that can't be raised.).
Poseidon, for example, is an extremely powerful entity, but his power doesn't hurt my logic when I think of it because it is limited to the sea and his phenomena.
Paganism is even more fair when applied to everyday life because of the belief that gods can be present in humanity's life. I can pray Asclepius to get better health, but what's the purpose of praying God when He cannot intervene in our lives?

My task is not to disrespect any religion or any of you, so please don't feel offended.

I actually believe this as my view of what is more "logical" when it comes to gods and religions and stuff. It sounds kinda new-agey but I think that the Gods of antiquity are really powerful spirits who have influence over some part of the natural world, maybe beings from another plane of existence, boddhisatvas if you will, and we can do rituals or prayers to them for favors. Makes much more sense to me than an all-powerful uber God who will set you on fire forever for not following his religion and all the other illogical madness of monotheism.
>>
It enables objective morality
>>
>Is the monotheism the euthanasia of the human logic?

No, it's the euthanasia of optionality. The whole point about paganism is that there are always more gods than you consider, which makes people much more weary about nonsense like singular, linear solutions to complex problems

How come protestant countries became so much more economically successful than Catholic countries

Weber wrote in his 'Die protestantische Ethik und der Geist des Kapitalismus' (1905) that modern capitalism arised only in the Western World and that Protestant work ethic was a driving force in prosperity of capitalism in the West.

This is the so-called 'Wahlverwandtschaft' (elective affinity) between Protestant ethic and spirit of capitalism.

You have a chance to go back in time and destroy one book or textual piece, be it a science, philosophy, novel, poetry, theology or whatever. Which would it be?

Hard mode: premodern.
Hardcore mode: none of the main religious works.
Impossible mode: a work that did not survive and possibly never existed.

Affluence breeds societal stagnation. One generation creates the wealth, the other inherits it, unafflicted by the toil and hardship their ancestors had to endure to create said wealth.

How does sociology and anthropology explain a community like 4chan, have any serious studies been made about it?

I mean its pretty unique

>The site is completely 100% free and doesn't benefit anyone (other than paid shills and gookmoot)
>Everyone acts completely on their own volition (other than paid shills and gookmoot)
>The site is completely homogeneous in the sense we are all anonymous
>Anyone who seeks to not to be equal gets degraded and ostracized (Tripfags grills)
>Its only allowed to demonstrate identity individuality when the situation calls for it and even then it still has a negative connotation which is why the fag suffix is used and also tits or GTFO
>Being an individual is not inherently wrong, only trying to benefit from such individuality is wrong
>Even when there are flags people identify the user as an anonymous member living in x place not a member of x place who browses the site, (anon from x country, x country anon, xfag)
>Everyone recognize the rights they have and the rights everyone else has
>Everyone understand that the rights come from themselves and the society as a whole (the site) and not from a written piece by an authority figure as the society couldn't possibly function without them (muh free speech)
>Everyone challenges authority and anything they deem unfair (mods are fags)
>have developed norms that are different from that moot has written and won't give up until they get bored (change proxies/reset ip)
>Everyone recognizes the site is more than themselves

>Everyone repress anyone who breaks the self imposed rules
>The conduct code is so developed , everyone recognize the appropriate rulling for every given transgression (derail, sage, posting gore to force delete or repel users, report,etc)
>Even those who violate the laws recognize by themselves that they are shitposters and are guilty of doing something wrong
>Everyone because of the aforementioned points believes in a universal sets of values that are at the same time amoral
>Morality doesn't exists in 4chan, you could literally watch some of the most fucked up stuff you could see in your life without bating an eye and no one considers posting that in the site is something wrong to do. (Muf feels is used to call out on this)
>Everything is weighted by logic, its worth and nothing else. Depending on the reason/perspective and quality of the fucked up content it could be embraced or the poster will be ridiculed.The intolerance is the mechanism through which the society regulates itself
>Theres only prejudice and aversion towards that which could harm the society norms and thus the entirety of the userbase
>The culture and thought of the original population is held in the highest regard irregardless of time (oldfags)
>migrants will forever be not the original population (newfags)
>Migrants must demonstrate a self desire to be part of the community to be accepted (Lurk moar, no spoonfeding)

>4chan has proved that multiculturalism doesn't work, what ends up happening whenever theres a migration is that the migrants change the place culture to be their own (/co/umblr) to make it fit their view. This was held as the truth long before it started being a thing worldwide
>Only through constant repression (Back to reddit) the society and culture perseveres and doesn't get assimilated
>Although the mass migrants have absolutely no respect about the traditions and norms of the site and it shows in the last years.
>4chan has proved through memes there are universal things every human acknowledge. A lot of the stuff from here ended up reaching the entire planet.
>4chan has also proven and always believed that capitalism be it in any sense, material or immaterial, the idea of gaining being a motivator is fundamentally flawed and harmful. No good content ends up being created only that which yields more gain of whatever the poster seeks. In reddit karma, a shill marketing its product or other product hits, vews, sales,etc.

Some talk of Alexander,
And some of Hercules
Of Hector and Lysander,
And such great names as these.
But of all the world's great heroes,
There's none that can compare
With a tow, row, row, row, row, row,
To the British Grenadier.

When Britain first, at Heaven's command
Arose from out the azure main;
This was the charter of the land,
And guardian angels sang this strain:

"Rule, Britannia! Britannia rule the waves:
"Britons never shall be slaves."
