Accept what? That someone made a picture? I mean, that's hardly controversial.

That the guy who preached to "turn the other cheek" and not be violent and later went on to whipping people?

No thanks m8 sounds like a scam to be quiet honest my family man.

Does God hate 99% of all humanity born before the 20th century?

>>416346
>implying there is a god

But no, what happened in Africa is the extreme of what happened in Germany after WW1, there was no after thought for what would happen after decolonization.

>>416346
If God were real, he wouldn't have had humanity evolve in Africa.

I also love Tolstoy. I think he is the greatest novelist and short-story writer of all time, but he is also an inspiration for me for the same reason as Michelangelo and Beethoven: an enormous capacity for work, and the magical chemistry of taming an unprecedented egocentrism and use it for the making of sublime art. Tolstoy was extremely proud, always paying attention on others, as if to compete with them, always trying to be the best at everything that he did, and constantly writing is his diaries the life-long struggles that he faced while trying to dissolve every single one of his defects and transform it in a virtue. Later in life his philosophical and religious views became so distorted by his huge appetite for fame and influence that he became boring at a lot of times, but the early and middle-aged Tolstoy has always been an inspiration for me: he was a powerhouse of a man, and a great example of how to face difficulties.

As for fiction, I love the Myamoto Musashi created by Takehico Inoue in his manga, Vagabond. I like to see a man who feels, like everyone feels, several stings and bites of weakness (fear, anxiety, laziness, lust, pride), but who manages to keep walking toward his goals in spite of this attacks. This work shows that the difference between strong people and weak people is not in the fact that the strong don’t feel fear, or laziness, etc., but that, although they feel this things, just like the weak person, they refuse to give in.

*I must refuse some of the ideas that the general public have about Leonardo, stating that he was a botanist, and inventor, a mathematician, an anatomist, and other things. The fact that he made drawings of trees and flowers does not make him a botanist: he never catalogued species, or reasoned about their reproductive method, or imagined how their organisms work: he merely drew them – that’s not what a botanist is. As for anatomy, it is true that his drawings of the human body are sublime, some of the best ever made. However one must aknowledge that he worked with specialized people who helped him dissect the bodies, and that he had no insight about how the human body worked (nothing that was original for his own time, except some observation on one of the hearts valves). As for his inventions, many of them were simply fantastical drawings, works of the imagination that would never work on real life: they were reproduced in large scale, but they did not work. As for mathematics, he was actually pretty bad with arithmetic’s and did not have facility or a gift with this field. He was, however, more at home with geometry, although he did not contribute to any field of mathematic: he was a student of it, and not a very gifted one.

All of this, however, does not take away the merit of Leonardo’s deep curiosity, his enormous vigor for study and observation, his sublime art, his talent for drawing (he is one of the best, if not the best, draftsman in history) and some of his insights, like, for example, the tought that, since there were shell-fossils on the top of mountains, that soil should have been, sometime in the long forgotten past, under the waters.

As for Audrey Hepburn, she is (in my opinion) the most beautiful woman of all time.

I always thought that the most interesting thing about religions is how they often appropriate from older religions,and then perform incredible feats of pretzel logic to try to take what was obviously never meant to support the new position into saying that it does.

With often a side of bad translation.

>>416119
I'm not the best person to ask, but I find the rise of monotheism interesting. Even without the abrahamic religions society was trending towards monotheistic ideals and the early monotheistic religions like mithraism, sol invictus, manichaeism etc. all developed at roughly the same time. Many of these religions have spiritual descendants today.

>>416139
I could write a muchhh larger paper about that, but I need something more specific now. I can only use about 2500 words.

I know there is some religious group who praises an angel who went against god, but later came back to heaven. Now they are often compared with satanists, but i cant remember or find the name of that group....

>>416114
It's more complicated than that.

>>416114
If you consider dhimmitude, were you have to pay a special tax for existing and do not have the right to defend yourself against people attacking you, getting along reasonably well, then yeah, they did.

>generally more resources

>norther Chinese plain fertile for horse herding

>former Jin controlled area makes good wheat farming land

>in Jurchen homeland, tons of wild game and fish-rich waters

Basically they would have more resources and room for economic expansion which would push their industrialization a bit further and give them more leverage against the Mongols.

The Song might even end up surviving the full brunt of the Mongol horde.

No arguments here, but lets lump in their non-Muslim masters and brethren.
>pic related

>Can we all agree that Salafis are the scum of the planet?
Pretty much, yeah.

>They are behind 99% of everything bad associated with Muslims.
Also pretty much true, but most Muslims are generally not great either.

You forgot the Wahhabis.

It's basically saying that when a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, it doesn't make a sound... and there's no tree. Or forest...

>>415881
It isn't saying that at all, what is wrong with you?

According to what I know of the subject, the Etruscans traded with the Latins, and gave the Latins the alphabet that we use today, which came to the Etruscans from the Phoenicians.

Other than that, I don't really know. I guess you can imagine that there had to be some cultural overlap between the two peoples in order for them to start using their alphabet though.

>>415549
iirc romans like other latins belonged to an Italic ethos that, at the time of your map, was dominated by Etruscan culture.

Rome began as a refuge for bandits, brigands and people who became disenfranchised from their homes elsewhere. They stole Etruscan culture and women and eventually stole empires.

Hehehe nice one op! That piece of shit channel is a waste of fucking time. I'm here to talk about real history not lame aliens and hitler! At least we know better;)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the History Channel at one point respectable. Or was I just too young to know any better.

It was fine through the early 2000s tbqhwy. Not sure what changed but by 2010 it was definitely unwatchable. New producers or management?

Too much focus on WW2 by 200 but there were some great documentary series from that time, particularly "War of the Century" about the Eastern Front (although I think that was basically just a rebranded/redubbed BBC series).

Also they had some great stuff on the American Civil War in the 1990s and early 2000s.
