Popper, Kuhn, Lakatos

Materialism is the notion that our minds are constituted by something outside of our minds. The notion that the laws of physics, which are concepts inside our minds, should be able to encompass the universe outside of our minds, is in itself non-materialistic.

"The laws of physics" aren't things. They're descriptions of how things behave. It's just that grammatically, "the laws of physics" is a noun phrase so it's easy to get confused and treat them as things.

Consider the following: you're retarded.

The chicken's egg (which is the one the question relates to, not just random egg) came after the chicken
The first chicken as we know it hatched from a non-modern chicken agg laid by the specie just prior to modern chicken in the evolutionary line

>>403587
But the first chicken hatched from an egg, so the egg was first

According to evolution the egg came first because it was laid by an Almost chicken, the egg had a mutated animal inside it which was a chicken

how? the islamist self-proclaimed governments had an extreme support in the muslim population of Kosovo and Bosnia going against them was going against the muslim population itself.

Let's see, on one hand he's seen as a valid successor to the Safavids due to his overwhelming military genius, political acumen, and administrative reforms. On the other hand in the final days of his reign he became insane, a psychopathic paranoid shadow-jumper as well as completely delusional, and even blinded his eldest son.

And his ending of the Safavid dynasty brought massive political instability to the final Persian Empire which lead to the Zands sacking various cities and centers in Iran and Khorasan/Greater Iran.

Which would eventually but directly to the Qajars filling the power gap who would also fucking reverse ever single god damn territorial, military, and political gain the Safavids and Nader Shah made against the Ottoman Empire, Russian Empire, British Empire, and Portugal.

He's hard to really quantify in the objective of long term standard with his influence on Iran. Also even though he was technically of Turkish stock, he was pretty much from a highly Persianized family and regarded as a very handsome lady-killer in his youth.

You appear to have answered your own question. Well done.

p.s.: eel farming.

>>403428
>>403567
The soil in this country is shit for farming without heavy fertilizer use, and the rains are hardly good enough to get an agricultural culture off the ground without irrigation. Not saying abos weren't uncivilized, but people adapt to their surroundings, they there was just never much to work with to develop an advanced culture. Even if they'd built fences, kangaroos could jump over them, wombats are capable diggers, possums and koalas can climb etc. Native plants probably had too low yields of edible material to warrant the investment of farming that would lead to selective breeding. Being isolated also hurt their chances of advancing beyond primitive technology.

>>403622
What I'm saying is, intelligence develops in response to environmental pressures, it's not like humans just popped out of the ground with Europeans being smart and abos being stupid.

If a god knows everything there is to know, why wouldn't he know what specific outcome would or would not happen?

What is the empirical evidence for or against the notion of either free will or a God?

What is this business with free will? How is it defined? What is the trajectory? Are you speaking about a metaphysical conception of free will or an existential one? Maybe some other conception?

How about God? What type of God are you speaking about? What properties does this said God have? How do you know those properties? What is omniscience? Is it merely an extrapolation of a finite's being's capacities, and so, in actuality does not reflect an infinite as such, but rather, reflects a finite being's imagination of infinitude? What are possible bounds of our knowledge of God? What is God? With emphasis paid to the is-ness of God? Is God just merely a being among other beings? Or is God Being as such?

In general, what is at stake in this intersection between free will and God? Does it even fucking matter?

>>402495
because he created an entity (rational soul) with the specific intention of allowing it sovereignty over itself. if God is still aware of every possible path it could take, it doesn't detract from God's omniscience

Fit enough to fucking walk everywhere

>>402100

Nothing. They weren't fit at all.

All they had to do was walk, stand in a line, and shoot.

A literal basement dwelling neckbeard from today that has never even seen a gym could join the army and become a GOAT soldier.

>>402100
It depends on the time of year.

During campaign season, they stayed fit due to the fact that they walked every fucking wear while humping their kit, which was probably close to about 70lbs total. Then, when they were stationary, there'd be the fortification details, latrine digging details, and all manner of other physical labor they'd be required to do, which most modern westerners couldn't do today, because they are soft little pussies.

Hell, western militaries today are pussies compared to those dudes, due to the fact that the ONLY motherfuckers that actually hump kit consistently are airborne, and light infantry, and they make up a small minority of any given military.

The support faggots, and the whiny females in their units, couldn't do 12 miles in under 3 hours in full kit if their lives depended on it.


>>402600
>I bet you'd start crying 5 miles into a 12 mile forced march, sweetheart

Faith doesn't make sense because in order for an idea to have been create, somebody must have had an experience of certainty at some point.

>>402019
or you could just create something like in comic books.

>How come, after over 65 years, Palestine has gained only very little statehood recognition, gained no land back from 1948 borders, or won any military victories against Israel?
Because it was prophesied to come to this in the Bible.

Because the Kikes own the media, the government, and the banks maybe?

>>401947

Because Arabs can't into winning wars.
