do you think the is-ought problem is solvable?
6 posts and 2 images submitted.

Yes, the solution is to realize that there is no reason to value what is logical. This means that the logical gaps are not a problem.

I just told you the solution you should at least be grateful. I don't care whether or not you happen to fancy this solution but it is the only one that works.

>whenever someone gets sick with a non-life threatening but still painful/uncomfortable illness/condition, I think about how people in the classical and medieval ages dealt with that kind of stuff
>have a weird on-again/off-again relationship and interest in Roman conquests of Britain and life in Roman Britain
>constantly trying to imagine what the population density of a city would feel like at any certain point in history, i.e. I think about what it would be like to live in Ur when it was only a couple tens of thousands of people and that was the biggest city around at the time.
>have weird feelings of existential dread when I think about how the Israelites were originally polytheistic and only became monotheistic and truly Jewish after the Babylonian exile (I've remedied this somewhat by explaining away most of the early Old Testament as metaphor or some kind of archetypal meta narrative but it still hits me)
Anyone else have weird idiosyncrasies about /his/ related topics?

>But you who live now, what madness, what frenzy drives you to the pollution of shedding blood, you who have such a superfluity of necessities? Why slander the earth by implying that she cannot support you? Why impiously offend law-giving Demeter11 and bring shame upon Dionysus, lord of the cultivated vine,12 the gracious one, as if you did not receive enough from their hands? Are you not ashamed to mingle domestic crops with blood and gore? You call serpents and panthers and lions savage, but you yourselves, by your own foul slaughters, leave them no room to outdo you in cruelty; for their slaughter is their living, yours is a mere appetizer."13

Was there ever a period in history where a slave owner went broke or was lost on an expedition and resorted to eating his slaves?

Was there ever a rich person who was demented who bought slaves simply to cook and eat, sort of like a racist Hannibal Lecter?

There is a story of a Chinese lord (not sure that's the right term) lost in the wilderness with his servants/slaves (again, not sure that's the right term) and the servants felt so honor bound to the lord that they cut off parts of themselves to offer as food. As vague as that is, I'm guessing that's not helpful, but I heard that story a LONG time ago and don't remember the details

What did the United Kingdom get up to during the Second World War?
8 posts and 2 images submitted.
>>
Stage one: Getting their ass kicked

Stage two: Attempting to change the military balance of power, both in order to protect themselves, and prepare for an eventual counterattack.

Stage three: Counterattack, with the US doing a majority of (on your front, the Russians obviously doing the lion's share over all)

Stage four: Constantly remind everyone that you were in the war for the longest, ignore that you spent all of that extra time as a German punching bag
>>
>>3087379
Well it obviously declared war on Germany after invasion of Poland and then participated in the western front. It successfully stopped operation sea lion but still suffered bombings and did have a few disasters like Dunkirk in Europe. In 1940 it was drawn into war with Italy and fought in North Africa and Mediterranean. Italy was beaten pretty badly by the UK but survived with German support. 1941 UK was at war with Japan who attacked its Asian colonies and the disastrous battle of Singapore happened as well as one biggest battles of the Asian theatre the battle of Imphal which was the Japanese attempted invasion of India.
It maintained an important role in the war throughout and its intelligence gathering was very important but the war ultimately doomed it to lose its empire and status as world power along with other nations.

Greetings, /his/. I've only just really gotten into history. I'd like to do some more research on some periods. Can anybody recommend me good sources on the following?

Napoleonic France

Byzantium under Justinian

Covert antics during the Cold War

Britain in WW2

Also, bonus question, where can I find really good, detailed maps? Things like transportation, military bases, rivers, and natural resources like coal or oil.

The only one that's been tried is Marxism-Leninism, which was screwed over so Stalin could justify his dictatorialness
