Thank you for making my coffee

>>292649
There's loads of this stuff, actually.

I remember reading that one of the oldest surviving written documents records a goat transaction or something, but I can't seem to find it right now.

>>292649
Florilegium Urbanum has lots of great primary sources on this stuff. Lots of it pertains to buisness contractions in the Middle Ages that details otherwise simple, mundane transactions.

>On holy days, the schoolmasters assemble their students at the churches associated with the particular festival, for purposes of a training exercise. There the students debate, some using demonstrative rhetoric, others using dialectical logic. Yet others "hurtle enthymemes", while those who are more advanced employ syllogisms. Some undergo the debating exercise just to be put through their paces, it being like a wrestling match of the intellect; for others it is to help perfect their skills in determining the truth. The contrivances of sophists receive credit for the torrent and flow of their arguments. Others apply false logic. Occasionally some speakers strive to persuade by delivering rhetorical orations, taking care to observe the rules of their art and not to leave out anything related to them. Boys from different schools fling versified arguments against each other, disputing matters of grammatical principles or rules governing the use of the future or past tenses. There are those who make use of epigrams, rhymes, and metrical verse – types of sarcasm traditionally heard at street-corners; with "Fescennine License", they freely ridicule their associates, without naming names. They hurl "abuse and jibes"; with Socratic wit they take digs at the character flaws of their fellows, or even their elders, and "bite more keenly even than Theon's tooth" with their "bold dithyrambs". The audience being "ready to laugh their fill", "with wrinkling nose repeat the loud guffaw".

This is pretty cool, thanks!

Yeah, that'd be something I'm interested in. I like history's big events but the little things I think help me more in visualizing the world the events happened in, giving them more context and depth.

>Where do you think they lived?
they didn't

In the imagination of whatever Jew cooked it up. I doubt he had a explicit place in mind.

Joseph Smith thinks it was Independence, Missouri though. If you're willing to believe him.

>>292667
I came here to shitpost Missouri. Damn.

>>292630
France had always saved Poland (1807, 1918) while Germany always annexed it (1795, 1815).

Also, trusting Germany was dumb as proven by Hitler betraying the USSR

>>292630
Yes, allying Germany and get fucked anyway.

>>292630
Pilsudski didn't reject Germany, Beck did.
>>292856
If you'd read up on Hitler, you'd realize that he highly respected Poland and his ideal scenario was allying with Poland and Britain against the USSR. More than anything he just hated commies.

What is hey trying to convey with his trenchcoat collar popped, and the cigarette?

History will remember Peter, not Chris

>>293396
Bullshit, Christopher has proven far more popular and influential than his brother. Not that Peter is an idiot or anything.

It certainly is illegal in many countries and thus generally a bad idea.

>>292488
I did not ask if it was legal or a good idea.

Lets try to determine if it is immoral or not to do this.

>>292418
Prefferably, I'd like to see non-religous moral arguments. Pointing at religous laws or texts is an easy way out of making a philosophical argument.

>>292400

I'm confused. So who's the young girl with the peony lantern and what role does she play in this whole scenario?

What's the significance of it being 'Obon'?

>>292426
Obon is a Japanese Buddhist custom to honor the spirits of one's ancestors.
As for the girl with the lantern, it's not made clear.

>Japanese horror is spoopy as fuck

Also consciousness defies logical explanation for how can neurochemistry produce self awareness?

Determinism is ultimately a product of our understanding of causality. There are problems with our current understanding of causality, Hume showed it and so did the Buddhists like Nagarjuana.

Still that won't prove the existence of some soul/external agent entity that has power to defy the universal laws.

>>292259
>Determinism states that people cannot choose their actions and are determined to act in whatever way they do
>Free Will states that people choose their actions and will freely act in whatever way they do
>In either case people do what they do

The will dichotomy is literally nonsense.

Thanks for "Art" bruh, but Imma go look at some Kitsch now.

That ain't even a lie.

Wasn't he the Isreali diplomat that tried to create peace but was killed by some Israeli radical? That was some bullshit that I will never understand. Is he remembered well in Israel? I heard he was actually hated, and the guy that killed him got married for his troubles.

>>292186
So you are saying saying there will only be a perpetual war and trying to negotiate is meaningless?

>>292112
It can be a thought, it can be the state of living, it can be emotion, it can be action.
Imagination is a sin for example.

>>292112
But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

>>292112
Sin is a rebellion against God
it's a way of living, not a single action or thought

That guy in your image is from Egypt?

>>291893
its from the pic in the article:

>A burial site of a neolithic culture found near Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. A rapidly growing supply of DNA from ancient skeletons is changing evolutionary history.

>>291885
you mean changes in skin colors are linked to behavior?

>How common was it?
Probably happened at some points since there were no regular armies and professionnal soldiers during most of the medieval times (aside from the nobility, which wasn't profesionnal) and the population would go fight at the cll of the local noble. They probably didn't check what was in the pants of the volunteers as long as they were ready to go wave a sword.

>How many women were famous in combat not just because "hur dur epic chick with sword" but women that actually had a historical impact?
None because the average soldier did not have any impact. the basic peon/footsoldier was a peasant with a dull sword who was little more than cannon fodder while the people with actual equipment (aka the "knights" to simplify it) did the part of the work that was remembered and documeted. And none of them were women since they were the only part of the armies that was controlled at the source.

>>291852
So basically there's a good chance women joined in the more fodder like sections of the army, but more controlled sections was a for sure no?

>>291863
Pretty much. As lng as the feudal and chivalry systems were used to structure the military, there is little to no way for a woman to get to a position of military importance.
