The U.S. banned Japanese immigration, naturally they started to migrate to what used to be the 2nd option in the new world, which is Brazil.

Is it really this high? I thought Peru was higher.

Could God redeem humanity without a sacrifice ?

When you ask 'can God commit suicide' and shit like that you imply he is confined to our humanly perception of space and time, all that good jazz.

God can't kill himself because he's not mortal nor is he immortal, the true God is beyond comprehensions and cannot be defined by earthly concepts.

>>350487
This. God doesn't need to be "logically" sound or make sense, we can't make any sense of Him because he exists beyond a comprehensible level. It's all a matter of faith.

It's pretty insane to assume that ISIS is trying to hide anything that would make them look inhumane.

Good lord. No wonder academia is going to shit.

Race is a construct, it still exists. Read Parmenides.

This is a biology, not humanities or philosophy question.

Race is real but our understanding of it is a construct

>or that it was bad
Except it was bad. It resulted into one of the greatest human catastrophes in history, Russia and the Middle East are shitholes to this day precisely because of the Mongols.

>>349735
Meme empire that did very little outside of killing and destroying. Gets peoples pants wet so I guess that's a merit

>>349742
>Except it was bad. It resulted into one of the greatest human catastrophes in history,
Just the conquered's slander. I've never actually saw or heard any sources claiming that living inside the Mongol empire, or at least Mongolia proper, was bad. And Baghdad was asking for it. He just did conquering better than anyone else at the time.

> Russia and the Middle East are shitholes to this day precisely because of the Mongols.
Not true, especially for Russia.

Perhaps generally.

There are historical events that have no hard objective evidence but are assumed to have occurred because of later political climates. and diverse sources.

There is no evidence of 2+2 being equal 4, and there is no evidence for basic laws of logic, like law of excluded middle. So yeah, go ahead, dismiss math and logic.

>>349588
It's a good rule of thumb, as long as you don't get too carried away with it, as >>349625 shows. It really could do with a caveat allowing analytical truths.

Its best to treat it like Occam's Razor, ie a rule of thumb, and not a logical axiom.

>Yet another Jared Diamond thread
We should just have one stickied

I'll take the bait, anon: Europe wasn't a barbaric backwater for most of human history. The two most advanced civilizations have predominantly been European and East Asian civilizations, a trend that continues to this day.

>Minoans
>Mycanaeans
>Greek city states
>Macedonian empire
>Roman empire

"barbaric backwater"

In fact thanks to Minoans and Cycladeans, European civilization is about the same age as Egyptian one.

If all things are nothing, what is my property?

>>349488
Anything you acknowledge could become yours.

>>350392
Would if two people acknowledge the same thing as their property? Who is spooked?

Because Europeans liked and respected Japan.

In the 19th century, Islam was thought of as cruel and backwards, but at least you get sex slaves, Indians as lazy wife-burners, and Chinese as arrogant barbarians who can't fight.

Because the guy who 'invented' bushido in its modern form had a hard on for Europe (naturally being it was during europes peak) and made the obvious parallels to show similarities between japan was to europe.

Fairly sure the "narrative" is that most western countries both owned slaves and ended their slavery.

>>349453
My point is that people care that it happened in the first place, and not that we were ahead of pretty much everybody in getting rid of it (including using our global hegemony at the time to end it on other continents as well).

>>349476
>>349436
There were different types of slavery.

The worst and most dehumanizing form of slavery, chattel slavery, was invented and expanded by westerners.

DEFINE "GREAT", AND "TIME".

Well not all of them

I'm not sure about this particular quote, but there was a reformed peasant revolt in Germany led by Thomas Müntzer and Luther himself was so horrified about it he condemned them.

Kuehnelt-Leddihn argues that the cancerous ideologies started by the French revolution (socialism, nationalism, egalitarianism, marxism etc) actually have their root in people like Wycliffe, Hus, Luther or Müntzer, protestants that is.

>Peasants are no better than straw. They will not hear the word and they are without sense; therefore they must be compelled to hear the crack of the whip and the whiz of bullets and it is only what they deserve.

>Like the drivers of donkeys, who have to belabor the donkeys incessantly with rods and whips, or they will not obey, so must the ruler do with the people; they must drive, beat throttle, hang, burn, behead and torture, so as to make themselves feared and to keep the people in check

It wasn't for nothing that he was immensely popular with German barons

How did you jump from evil being to absence of Good to the world is evil?

>>349203
Good and evil are value judgements, they require a subjective observer. They are a person/group/culture going "We like this, and don't like that other stuff." They have form in that we can perceive a strict situation and ideal "good" and "evil" aspects or results, but they have no bearing on the actual aspects or results. Well, aside from influencing how observers react to them.

>>349686
Anon started from the position that the universe is initially empty of "Good" form and is being filled, rather than starting with the universe filled with "Good" and slowly drained.

>>349203
There's multiple answers to this. One is that there is a form of evil. In this understanding good and evil are balanced and can even have a certain harmony, they co-exist as equal opposites. The Gnostic God Abraxas represents this pretty well. He is the ultimate creator who made both good and evil. He created the love of the good mother and the wrath of the evil mother. Another example of this represented is Zoroastrianism where there one supreme God that represents all good and the Devil that represents all evil is made from his shadow.

The other answer is that "evil is the absence of good" or the "misinterpretation of good". For instance they may use the Form of killing to murder, they may even murder very well but they will murder the innocent man.

There is the third option that evil is only perspective and Forms do not have value judgements but this is harder to comply with the form theory because the value judgements them-self would have a form.
