Is it cool to discuss the various schools of Buddhist thought here. I'm kind of at an impasse reading the Tipitaka. How can one love fellow man and yet remain detatched from mankind? How does one live in samsara yet ultimately remove earthy desire? Therevada Buddhism is confusing.

Yeah, since there's no theology thread, they tend to get dumped here.
As to your question, I can't help.

Seems pretty straight-forward to me. What's so confusing about it?

So did the HRE ever combine themselves against a common enemy or were they always selfish bastards?

The HRE only became super decentralized after the death of Frederick II in 1250.

Why was Prussia so powerful that it could defeat both Austria and some other large German states? Was it a total defeat or why did the Austrians give up after Koniggratz?
Would the Austrians have united Germany had they won and how would such a state have looked/worked compared to the Kaiserreich?

It'd probably look more like a federation HRE style and less like greater Prussia .

>>2934565
Why didn't they want to rule over Germany like the Prussians?
>>
>>2934571
They did but Austria's style is different.

I'm sitting in the British museum right now. I've visited multiple times since moving to London but I suddenly had this feeling of being a Reddit hack fraud pseudointellectual.
I don't give a shit about modern pottery, statues, wallpaper, jewels, or plates, so why should I give a shit about that stuff from the past? It all seems a little too Reddit and pseudointellectual for me to pretend I care
Being surrounded by normies who act repulsed by my ugliness isn't helping either.
Maybe in 2000 years the museums can have stuff like primitive technology or old fashioned houses or something well documented. But why should I care about Greek wallpaper or coffins ffs?

The essence of playing it safe, completely mainstream, corporatised, zero dissent or critical thinking, zero balls surrender to popular consensus.
Also I heard a famous website is named after it but I've never been there.
>>2934568
This museum is filled with old fashioned memes. I forgot to mention that
But of course Pepe is for immature neckbeards while some exhibit about the god of wet weather is "SO CULTURED AND ENRICHING".

Arab armies are so secretive that a corporal doesn't know who his squad leader is.

Just submit a public information request at saddam.com. Or ask an ISIS emir, most of them are ex Iarqi officers.
