Is the aphorism our era's philosophical format?
11 posts and 4 images submitted.
>>
>>2940591
It is nothing new. In ancient greece they have done it. Sentences like: "Being moderate is the best." The work starts with single observations that are written laconic, from time to time you add something to it and make conclusions with such premises. It´s like a snowball getting bigger when it´s rolled in snow.

The question is not whether it's new, but if it's the preferred/main format in which philosphy is written nowadays. I would say yes. Not only philosophy, but blogging, poetry, and prose literature too have an aphoristic quality, which is facilitated by the short-format of the majority of WWW media like tumblr, and twitter.

OH NO. You've just been stopped by a highwayman. He's going to kill you and take all your money! Fortunately, you can summon one person from history to help you out. There is a catch though, this person must have a first name that begins with the second letter of your last name. You have 5 seconds to pick!

How the fuck could they go battle with such clothes?

On a summer day, walking in the countryside with that coat, which I'm sure is not like a modern jacket

It's fucking awful, didn't they get a heat stroke or whatever?

>>2935736

I was watching a historical movie once with English cops in the full bobby outfits like searching a rural area looking for a missing woman or a body or something on a hot summer day. I had the same question and dad suggested that they were obliged to wear the same outfit year-round and that all told, it's better to be too hot in the summer than to be too cold in the winter. It seemed to make sense but we were concerned with a fictional narrative of course.

I do get what you're saying about heat stroke but IIRC it only really gets dangerous around 95F, which is just below human body temp. This, because it's around this point that the human body loses its ability to shed excess heat into the ambient enviroment (it's got no place to go, the two are already close to equilibrium). My suggestion being that if it's in the 80s (F) or colder, it'll suck but it won't be dangerous for most younger guys. And this Summer Suck is preferable to losing one's digits in the winter.

Yes, yes it would be. And yes, that's what Putin means when he says that the fall of the USSR is a tragedy, not the fall of communism, but the fall of Russia as a geopolitical giant.

Would South Africa really look like this without European colonizers?

No matter how racist you believe the South African apartheid was the blacks loved living amongst racist whites. It's interesting that they talk about opression when their ancestors migrated to live near whites who were building a great society.

And now the said blacks wish to claim a society built mostly by whites as their own while pretending they were held back.

>Mediaeval Ghana and Modern Ghana don't overlap at all

What's going on here? Are these terms unrelated and the similarity is coincidence? Is it caused by nomadic groups taking terms with them? Or is it some weird version of wewuzzing?

the word 'sudan' is literally just arabic for 'place of black people' or something like that IIRC
the modern state of sudan took it's name from the arabic word for western africa because black people i guess
in short, arabs aren't very creative with names

So kind of like "Niger" and "Nigeria" both meaning "black" (ultimately from the Niger River, aka river for black people)?

So I'm wondering if piracy more or less really died out after roughly 1730, commonly labeled as the end of the "golden age of piracy". Did piracy really go away almost completly? What about south america and Africa?

Also, there were a lot of big wars in the 1700's and early 1800's, surely the big powers still used privateers, even though that's not exactly the same thing as piracy. Did any of them turn to outright piracy after wars like the seven year's war, american war of indepence, french revolutionary wars/napoleonic wars?

Also, who's your favourite historical pirate? Mine's probably Black Bart.

My cousin's husband is literally a mercenary that gets hired to stand on cargo liners and shoot at pirates as they round the Horn of Africa. Piracy is a very real thing.

This.

Piracy is actually a big problem around the Indian ocean still.

Maybe the end of the "golden age of piracy" for the Eurocentric view, but in China, they still roamed supreme. Infact, I'd say the Golden age of piracy only ended with her.

If I had to guess, I'd say she commanded more pirate ships than the entire European pirate ships combined. But thats just my guess based don the limited scope of the European piracy.
