Communism ruined communism. A society based on equivalent distribution of wealth is doomed by design.

Careful there, go back over history and have a look at what happened to societies where the patricians got so rich they lost touch with the conditions the plebs lived in

Right. Which is why feudalism and aristocracy was abolished.

Context is king in art history. Pretty much everything since the mid-1800s has been a direct answer to whatever came 10 years before.

There has been plenty of art in every genre in the 20th century, so it doesn't need to be an X vs Y thing.

Applying TDD to OOP languages stops rigorous testing which prevents user oriented development.

Without an eye on the user the end result may be functionally clean but user retarded.

Q: Why is the filioque so important?

A: There are a lot of reasons, but I'll start with one of the less mentioned ones: many Orthodox theologians believe humans are three parts: body, soul, and spirit (angels have soul and spirit, animals have body and soul, but only humans have all three). In a way, we are made in God's image thus: the soul in the Image of God the Father, the body in the Image of God the Son (but the Son also had a human soul and spirit), and the Spirit in the image of the Holy Spirit; to say the Spirit proceeds from the body would be warping things.

Q: How does the Orthodox Church understand Original Sin?

A: Original sin is a sin committed by Satan in heaven and by man on earth (that's why there must be both a "new heaven and a new earth". We don't believe it is transmitted by conception, every living thing suffers due to it, including cloned animals.
Q: If God has unlimited love, why does he let anyone go to hell?

A: Love has to be voluntary. Hell is a state of not loving God, it is not a place. Those who hate God are in hell in a Church, whereas those who love him are in heaven. Due to this, the idea of apocatastasis (known in the West as "universal reconciliation"), is not considered heretical in the Orthodox Church (though it's not a doctrine either)--it was Dostoevsky's position, in fact.

Q: Does the Orthodox Church think killing is every justified?

A: No. It is "justified" in the theological sense, by Christ cleansing us (that doesn't mean paying off our tab, it means washing away the ontological separation). But killing is always a sin, hence the Orthodox Church doesn't have a "just war theory". War can be understandable at times, certainly, but killing is still a sin, full stop.

Q: You say icons aren't idols, but I'm unconvinced.

A: Icons are liturgical art. They were a thing before Christianity, even Jews used them. The ancient synagogue at Dura-Europos was covered in them before ISIS destroyed it.

Q: But you PRAY to saints.

A: That's true, but how is asking people in heaven for help or to pray for you anymore heretical than asking them on earth? If we say it is heretical, then it is saying those in Christ do not have everlasting life. We reserve latria, however, for God.

Q: What is the essence-energies distinction?

A: A helpful analogy is the Catholic distinction between God's reason and God's will.

Q: Does the Orthodox Church proselytize?

A: No. We define proselytizing as actively trying to convert someone by being pushy or putting down their faith. We do, however, evangelize and encourage it, which is testifying Christ through word and deed (the latter part being of primary importance, (because without it the former is empty).

Fuck me.

I see Austria's emperor and I forget his name... Queen Victoria. Wilhelm I. Is the gook Meiji? The chink next to him must be the Chinese emperor but I have no idea what his name is either. The guy who looks like Tsar Nicholas probably isn't him but he looks like a Ruskie so he's probably whoever the Russian Tsar was in 1889. Black dude is probably Menelik II or Yohannes IV.

I'm not really up to snuff on my heads of state.

What was the occasion? Who died?

I think I see Pedro II and what seems to be a Rinpoche.

That never actually happened in the Americas though.

Gross exaggeration, the whole 'noble savage' notion is long ded

It was a tribalist society
Things were organized around villages and clans
However there was the Iroquois Confederacy which was quite advanced in having a democratic confederation

To expand on being tribalists, you had warfare and (in certain societies) slavery

Fuck no. Americans shaped their environment, not "lived at one with it", like any other peoples. They purposefully caused the prairies to grow and altered the forests to be more habitable, same with the Amazon.

You want Power at Sea, Volume 2 by Lisle Rose, it goes into a lot of the design philosophy.


As for BB design, well, the Kriegsmarine only made 4, the Scharnhorst, Gnisenau, Bismarck, and Tirpitz. They were all designed to be fast, to outrun RN battleships. Scharnhorst and Gnisenau were designed under treaty limits, and were undergunned for battleships.

Honestly though, they weren't that effective. I realize I'm wanking my own country, but American battleships were vastly superior to anything else built in the war.

A human sees the origin and misinterprets their senses, leading them to believe that the origin is somehow contingent on a single human body.
