Natives fought back, ran away, and rebelled a lot more frequently than Africans, who were more "docile"

Who would slave them? You?

>>383871
Spanish settlers did use natives as slaves, for example in California.

and yet they still won.

No, the idea behind liberal arts is to learn a wide variety of things in order to form a broad base of knowledge. Learning about multiple perspectives does that. Just reading works that other people have deemed great doesn't.

He is not all powerful. People are placed on Earth to follow the doctrine of God, the good people follow it (or if not, just be generally good people), and the bad people, don't, and generally act like God. This is what the whole "path to righteousness" is. At least, that's what I believe.

The only question should be 'what are the differences between Orthodox and Catholicism (and other Apostolic Christians like Oriental Orthodox)'. Protestantism doesn't matter at all and is impossible to defend in the day and age we live in now with information/history at everyone’s finger tips. It is simply not Christianity as it was ever practised for the first 2000 years.

>>383571
Not OP, but could you explain why it's impossible to defend?

>>383571
Christianity was practiced wrong for the first 2000 years, the first schismatic behavior can be documented to the conflict between Peter and Paul, judaizers and the universalists, etc.

Has she done anything significant other than saying that gender is performed?

>>382884
Not that I can think of. But she's been a controversial figure for it. Especially from feminists it seems.

>>382903
I find the entire debate irritating since it comes down to where we want to draw the line for what counts as gender. If we sufficiently restrict what counts, then Butler is clearly correct. The content of our concepts "male" and "female" have fluctuated with regard to the roles we play, our fashion, our behavior and so on. It isn't clear to me that gender is just these things though and I'm skeptical that we could give any definite answer to the question of what domain "gender" necessarily covers. It seems more important that we research and analyze the things that could potentially fall under the domain (fashion, biology, cultural roles, etc.) rather than argue over where we want to draw lines for words.

Southern Italy was semi-feudal, to the point where nobles would stiill go out and collect day-to-day laborers for their fiefs, like 200 years ago.

Mussolini thought that Hitler was going to declare war later, and Italian re-armament was doing too well.

Mussolini's economic policies were pretty shit. For instance, he strove for autarky in his country. So during the "War on Grain", Italian grain production skyrocketed. At the expense of all other crops.

ayer was scared of death and despised life so much, also called a nihilist, that he wished that there was no rebirth.

also, the induction is such a basic issue, along with solipsism, that the sterility of any rationalism to go beyond it shows how rationalism is pleb tier. Empiricism trumps anything and makes the rationalist faints before his lack of result to show why we should have more faith in our intellect than in our other five senses.

animals behave just as humans having faith in induction behaves: give a cat some food for two days, and you can be sure that he will show up at the exact same time and the exact same spot, to ask for food, on the third day.

induction shows up as soon as you have faith in your delirium called space and time. as soon as you make you intellect cease, you escape any abstraction/speculation/generalization/abstraction/delirium/fantasy and you lose faith since you reach knowledge. the rationalist despises this result and frustrated as he is from his inability to stop speculating, he prefers to come down to terrorism in calling any non rationalist, typically any empiricist, a pleb.

as soon as you tame your spirit/mind, and take your spirit for what it is (another sense), you become a semi-god.

top kek - implying ayer's reductio doesn't attempt to reduce all metaphysical problems to pseudo-problems (e.g. knowing oneself requires sensory perception, but how does one know one has such a perception). there is nothing particularly perspicacious about the arguments either - see Strawson's ordinary language argument.

Here's the correct - vaguely Tarskian - solution: existential predicates regarding the objects of propositions that form predicates regarding existence cannot have a truth value that is evaluated on the same linguistic level, but a meta-linguistic one.

You've also got the Tomb of Askia the Great. Y'know, it's still made of mud but at least it's not a hut.

Athens thinks they're amazing
Sparta kicks their shit in

Athens and Sparta had an uneasy relationship since the 6th century.

Athens had a pretty great Tyrant who made the city the greatest in Greece. When he died his sons were left in charge. They weren't terrible rulers but were less respected by the allies their father held and by the people. Eventually one of them was killed by a gay lover in a a 3-way lovers quarrel.

The remaining brother lost his shit and began a reign of (forgive me) tyranny. He started rounding up and executing people and making life generally miserable.

Some Athenians, actually a family banned from ever returning to Athens (the family of Pericles mother) financed the opposition and got the Spartans to come and kick the Tyrant out.

The Spartans decided they set up their own Tyrant and occupy the city. This went badly for them as the Athenians refused their 'offer' or 'terms' however you want to frame it, and created lasting animosity between the two cities.

After Darius took the Persian throne from Cambyses the Athenians and allies decided to finance a rebellion of the Ionian coast.

Yes, when it came to science he was retarded, but his philosophy wins here

The point is to live your life to the fullest. Nietzsche's conception of embracing life was that you should literally embrace everything, that includes everything nice and pleasurable as well as painful and horrific.

By creating your own values and your own meaning. That makes life worth living

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

Don't WHINE when things are painful. USE THAT SHIT! Find the hidden truth in suffering, burn it as fuel. The Ubemench should even seek out suffering as a way to strengthen himself, he wants a challenge.

The knights, easily. More mobile, and vastly better arms and armor.

>Roman legionaries vs Vikings

Legionaires. Soldiers>Pirates.

>Samuaris vs Roman legionaries

Depends on era for what constitutes a "Samurai". But in general, I'd bet on the Nips; Samurai were horse archers in a lot of their incarnations, and the Romans tended to have trouble with that.

But the Spartans would just have to hold.
