Wes Cecil did a lecture on Max Stirner.
Stirnerfags seem to be growing in number, I see him more often on Reddit, 4chan, 8ch. Is 2015 becoming the year of radical individualism?
Fuck spooks, let's have a party, Stirnerfags.

Can anyone explain Marx's "coat equivlence" theory in terms that make more sense?
To me, it seems that Marx is arguing that despite 2 commodities having 2 physically different forms, and different utility, that the value is equivalent if the labor is equivalent, no matter the difference in utility/physical form. Is that a valid interpretation, or am I missing something?

use-values are incommensurable
exchange-values are commensurable
for a social relationship mediated through a thing or service to possess value, that relationship must both have a use-value in the sense that it will be realisable by sale, and have an exchange-value in the sense that it is a product of realisable [socially-average necessary] labour power
>>
Say you have two dildos. One is a dragon dildo designed for your asshole which ejaculates fake semen. The other is a vibrator made after a horse penis and it glows in the dark.
If both have the same labor put into it both have the same value even though they are used for very different things.
Only a greedy capitalism would charge more for the dragon dildo than the horse vibrator!

Did Nietzsche utterly demolish Christianity with his smackdown?
>Christianity destroyed for us the whole harvest of ancient civilization, and later it also destroyed for us the whole harvest of Mohammedan civilization. The wonderful culture of the Moors in Spain, which was fundamentally nearer to us and appealed more to our senses and tastes than that of Rome and Greece, was trampled down (—I do not say by what sort of feet—) Why? Because it had to thank noble and manly instincts for its origin—because it said yes to life, even to the rare and refined luxuriousness of Moorish life!... The crusaders later made war on something before which it would have been more fitting for them to have grovelled in the dust—a civilization beside which even that of our nineteenth century seems very poor and very “senile.”—What they wanted, of course, was booty: the orient was rich.... Let us put aside our prejudices! The crusades were a higher form of piracy, nothing more! The German nobility, which is fundamentally a Viking nobility, was in its element there: the church knew only too well how the German nobility was to be won.... The German noble, always the “Swiss guard” of the church, always in the service of every bad instinct of the church—but well paid.... Consider the fact that it is precisely the aid of German swords and German blood and valour that has enabled the church to carry through its war to the death upon everything noble on earth!

No. He fundamentally misses the central question (is it true.)
Also, lol 19th century historiagraphy.
>Crusaders were motivated by plunder
>German nobility are 'Vikings'
>Moorish decadence
At least Nietzsche can rest happy knowing Germany is now getting the harvest of Mohammedan civilization.

>Islam, which originated among the Semitic races also consisted of the Law and Tradition, regarded as a formative force, to which the Arab stocks of the origins provided a purer and nobler human material that was shaped by a warrior spirit. The Islamic law (shariah) is a divine law; its foundation, the Koran, is thought of as God’s very own word (kalam Allah) as well as a nonhuman work and an 'uncreated book' that exists in heaven ab eterno.
> Islam presents a traditional completeness, since the shariah and the sunna, that is, the exoteric law and tradition, have their complement not in a vague mysticism, but in full-fledged initiatory organisations (turuq) that are characterised by an esoteric teaching (tawil) and by the metaphysical doctrine of the Supreme Identity (tawhid). In these organizations, and in general in the shia, the recurrent notions of the masum, of the double prerogative of the isma (doctrinal infallibility), and of the impossibility of being stained by any sin (which is the prerogative of the leaders, the visible and invisible Imams and, the mujtahid) lead back to the line of an unbroken race shaped by a tradition at a higher level than both Judaism and the religious beliefs that conquered the West

>It is a great shame for any one to listen to the accusation that Islaam is a lie and that Muhammad was a fabricator and a deceiver. We saw that he remained steadfast upon his principles, with firm determination; kind and generous, compassionate, pious, virtuous, with real manhood, hardworking and sincere. Besides all these qualities, he was lenient with others, tolerant, kind, cheerful and praiseworthy and perhaps he would joke and tease his companions. He was just, truthful, smart, pure, magnanimous and present-minded; his face was radiant as if he had lights within him to illuminate the darkest of nights; he was a great man by nature who was not educated in a school nor nurtured by a teacher as he was not in need of any of this.

Let's talk about the reeeaaally old shit guys.
I've got a particular interest in Indus Valley and Sumerian civilizations (picrelated) from the chalcolithic age and back, but anything up to the Bronze age is fair game. I'll start by gushing about one of my all-time favorite cities.

I'm pretty sure Sumeria and the IVC were both Bronze Age, not Chalcolithic.
Is it true that the Indus Valley lacked warfare?

A human can produce about 50-100 watts of motive energy.
Fire allows the energy in wood to be used for light, heat and the processing of food
Agriculture allows for a society to convert more solar energy to calories per square meter of land and lets them begin the building of citie
Beasts of burden allow humans to carry greater loads overland, wheeled vehicles enhance said capacity
Sails allows large cargos to be moved comparatively easily by utilizing wind power
Water wheels and windmills allow wind and water to be used for a variety of industrial applications in substitute for human muscle (turning a huge millstone rather than relying on handmills)
Steam power allows fire to be put to industrial purposes on a regular basis without being dependant on rivers or wind conditions
Electricity allows an easy means of transfering energy over long distances and putting it to use
Computerization and robotics allows complex processes to be done with minimal human involvement
The important fact about a civilization is how good is it at utilizing energy. Everything else is squabbling over pennies.

The degree itself is absolutely worthless; don't expect people to be impressed when you bring up your philosophy degree.
However if you are not a total autist, you can learn some very useful things from those fields and they are worth studying.

Not completely. I wouldn't have gotten a job as a technical writer without my English degree. I also wouldn't have been eligible for my advanced diploma in human resource management.
