>le Nietzsche was just a sick weakling with a power fantasy
You all do realize that by making claims such as this, you're basically giving credence to his entire view on human life, right?
You have to despise Nietzsche for being weak, you wouldn't be a Nietzschean if you didn't agree. And talking shit on him for it is perfect evidence that's he's just so right, we're all disgusting and favor youth, strength and virility over weakness and sickness, and no amount of philosophasting will change that.

It's year 1918 and allied powers won the war and you are in charge of redrawing the borders. Your goals are to achieve lasting peace and prevent the horrors of war ever happening in Europe again.
What do you do?

Chop Germany up into a multitude of smaller states the way you're doing with Austria-Hungary. Breaking it back down to the old HRE electors and Austria (was Austria an elector? Can't remember) and bolster them with financial aid directly to their ruling elite as long as they stay separate.

What factors does one consider when making these power rankings? Size of opposing armies/insurgents? Death toll? Glory in victory? Personalities and intrigue don't really seem to cut it.

ITT: We solve the mind-body problem
>The mind–body problem is the problem of explaining how mental states, events and processes—like beliefs, actions and thinking—are related to the physical states, events and processes, given that the human body is a physical entity and the mind is non-physical.
If you come here and spam neural correlates of consciousness you will be immediately disregarded as an complete ignorant on the subject.

God preordained that our mental states would correspond to our physical states.
Hope that clears that up for you.

Fucked up ontology, try again.

Every physical state has a correlate mental state. Complexity of electromagnetic activity is proportionally related to complexity of the mental state.

Wish I knew, London is becoming oddly shaped glass and steel.
I wouldn't object so much if the first 5-6 stories were designed in a more 'conservative' fashion, I want cherubs, naked ladies, strange faces, all that cool 17-19th century stuff.
Instead I get a building that melts cars

What are red flags that instantly turn you off from debating with a person?
For me it's moving the goalpost, it just shows to me that the person isn't mature enough to handle a proper argument.

There's no redflag to not debeating a person.
If you refuse to debate, then your opponent is right. If you really think the person is stupid, you should be even more lean to debeating him. If he's so dumb, how come you can't debeat him?

The moment they start spewing buzzwords or immediately place themselves on an unassailable pedestal.
"How could you think that way, it's 2015!"
"What's wrong with you? Don't you like logic and reason?"
"We need equity not equality."
There's been a lot of bad blood over Islam due to Friday's fiesta. Are there any Muslims or anyone else interested in ongoing exchange thread to clear up any misunderstandings? Each week we could read something from the Quaran and the Philokalia, and then discuss it.

I think it'd be better to compare Sufi poems, essays than the Qur'an. Just makes more sense as they seem more analogous to each other.
