Actually dumber than that.

Its and ideology Created by edgy neck beards in the 1800s, Now followed by even edgier teenagers

"Edgy" as an attempt to form a political ideology.

A lot of bit of both

>>350497
The good can be derived from nature.

Nature that God dictated.

So it is good because God dictates.

>>350545

A bit of both isn't really an answer to the question.

I should phrase it better.

Is there an absolute morality that god enforces because he is moral, or is something moral because it is commanded by god?

>Although Europeans were enslaved en masse as well

By Europeans?
Forced to work on plantations?
Put into breeding programs?

>>350434
Native Americans were enslaved, but because they knew the land so well they took peoples shit and ran off

Is there a purpose for art beyond decoration?

Taking a few minutes of your time to look at some drawing is pure snobiness, and you know it.

Sunlight

Just like Asians developed squinty eyes because they had to squint to see individual grains of rice, the Khoisan had to squint because there was lots of sand and it was really bright

>>349995
They both adapted to bright deserts/frozen wastes?

Gaddafi as well.
When will the general public learn that toppling middle eastern dictators usually just makes things worse?

The same can be said about Hitler. Germans are great at war but holy fuck are they bad at diplomacy

It's your own fault, you should know better than to listen to 19th century historians on any subject, it's always nationalist propaganda.

The same could be said of most people.

Going against stronger or equal forces is dumb most of the time.

Big blocks of stone with people in them, with politics the likes of which no mortal man could conceive.

I don't know why someone thought it was a good idea to discourage generals in the sticky. They are essential for minority interests. Must be one casual fucker who conceived that.

For example this thread could be part of a wider non-Eurasian civilisations general.

There are some theories that say that consciousness is the act of several parts of the brain communicating and debating with itself, instead of just merely reacting to external stimuli

My money is on funtionalism. Conciousness is *probably* a mechanism to help us survive and preform the same tasks all other mammals on earth effectively. But from that we birthed existentialism, which comes with it's own sleu of problems.

But with that being said I could also see it being a quantum thing, or simply the conciousness exists in another dimension of sorts that we just can't discover yet. I believe fully mapping the brain will give some powerful insights. Ultimately whatever we think is probably wrong, and we will never be certain of anything. I lean towards nihilism in that sense, but I certainly hope and have faith in science and Neurology.

Neurology will consume all other biology/philosophy/psychology eventually

God would've known you'd pick up the other one

It proves that God would be shit at poker.

But if he names red I'll pick up blue, and if he names blue I'll pick up red. I'll DEFINITELY pick up a red or blue ball, why can't God tell me which one I'll pick up?

Yes. In some cases American "intervention" was justified, in others it wasn't. It was mostly out of self-interest.

>>345180
Ask Latin America

Even though we've had some fun with them in Czechoslovakia, Soviets were far less brutal

Is that the Mongoria movie with the ghengis and the khans

Once upon a time in China is a great very inaccurate movie
So was Ip Man

Sadly, the three of them never came back from the dead to have one last discussion.

Troy (2004)

Sean Bean, Eric Bana and Peter o'Tool carried that movie.

Not usually, doesn't help it either though

Occasionally. But I wouldn't say that Christianity is especially guilty of this. If anything, for long periods of time, Christianity actually HELPED spread knowledge and scientific understanding. Even today, the best research comes from nations that are or were Christian. And compared to, say, Islam, Christianity as a whole is positively pro-science, even if there were(and still are, for some people) some sacred cows like Earth being at the center of the universe.

The churches have done much to foster scientific progress, but I wouldn't say that's a direct result of Christianity, rather the institutions having enough money to create/maintain/fund educational facilities.
