Forms are basically ideals that don't exist in our reality. Plato states that our reality is but a shadow of a perfect one, in which Forms are real.
In this reality there are perfect shapes, thoughts, tastes and so on. There the ideal is reality.
We know about this reality through our intuition, because we strive towards these Forms. But at the same time we can't really know or attain Forms in our own reality, because it is imperfect.

Just read Aristotle and disregard Plato. He was a hack.

So that ideal reality does litterally exist according to Plato? Or is it symbolic for something? Perhaps that we strive for "forms" that we can never have?

This reminds me of the cave. We only deal with shadows.

Why?

Tried to hold it for a bit too long.

George Boole

Got ill when he stayed in soaking wet clothes all day
Wife thought the remedy should resemble the cause, so she soaked him some more
He died.

Humans have a natural want to fuck things that are sort of different then us, but not too different.

Are you asking wether modern day Macedonians are greek or slavic?

Genetically, it's a tossup. The greeks stayed in the area but got invaded by Slavs during 7th century onwards. So a bit of both.

His real name was Sebastian, and he was a reformer and a crusader against the immorality that was the East End. The Vorlons took him to their world and use him to test the worthy and unworthy.

Probably someone we never heard of. You can make a decent case for Kosminski, but so can you for Montague Druitt, Severin Klosowski,Charles Cross, James Kelly and others. The royal, and other, conspiracy theories however are utter trash.

Can somebody tell me why he has become so famous? All I know about him is that he was a murderer who mutilated his victims and never got caught.

Seconding, I'd like a nice general survey of Britain.

Literally the worst president

His administration is almost entirely responsible for how far Islamic extremism has gone, and for the debt and credit crises in the US.

But yeah, keep sucking his desiccated cock and because he was handsome and gave good speeches. He was an actor folks.

Are Galicians, Celts?

they are wannabe Mexicans and Brazilians
actually thought they are a heavy mix of all those OP, most Europeans today are incredibly mixed

Mainly Celtiberians mixed with Romans, Goths, Arab-Berbers and Sephardim

You look at the equity, social mobility, and legal rights in Latin America between the indigineous people and the upper class and you tell me.

Read Lenin and Hilferding on Imperialism. Then read Wallerstein on World Systems. Then make an actually useful thread on the topic.

Also, the effects of colonization are losing their grip everyday, but it's still a long way to go. Cant wait till Mayan culture becomes fully revived and the people independent and modernized within the next century.

The Roman Empire was in a state of decline and everyone thought the world was soon to be ending (because Rome was the world). Then this religion pops up not only promising to save your soul in particular but bring about a kingdom of heaven on Earth and soon. The whole kingdom of heaven on Earth thing kind of was kind of pushed back when it turned out the world wasn't actually ending but whatevs.

I think Achilles is best boy. Lots of people killed other people and the amount of kills someone had doesn't seem as significant to me as living out a foundational lover's revenge myth as Achilles did.

>>293528
Achilles was a raging badass
Easily a second best
If he hadnt died to that sniper pussy Paris he would be best boy

>>293540
How does dying a noble death change the fact that not only did he kill many others, like Diomedes, he avenged his lover? If anything that adds to the greatness of the story.

Young Leonardo DiCaprio could have played him. I'm surprised they aren't related. In his later years he entered the JUST league though.
