What does one do if they cannot find meaning or purpose in anything?
I've tried exercising, educating myself in various disciplines, writing, creating, but nothing gives me a sense of purpose. I'm not depressed or anxious, just apathetic to everything.
The only solution I can think of going back and living in the wild where I'd be so concerned with survival that I'd have no time to worry about existentialism.
There's also drugs and alcohol, or suicide, but let's put those to one side for a moment.
re-asses your ideas about what meaning is and how it is found
>>2878402
You have to punish this world for concealing the meaning of life from you.
"Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill."
Work yourself to a position of power or authority. Then use it to wreak havoc and spread as much pain, misery and destruction as possible. Then in the ruins, you shall find meaning, I assure you.
>>2878402
Two things (assuming you actually already take care of yourself and address your interests like you said)
1. Meditation. This puts you in a state in which nothing is needed, rather there just is. It settles existentialism, maintaining such effects to increasing extents outside of meditation.
2. Strive to fulfill the aspirations of people you love. A life for others, once your own is established, places you within a greater context in which existentialist concerns mitigate exponentially.
These two things (three if you include establishing yourself) are in some sense the basis of most refined normative philisophy/ mysticism.
Is there a comfier channel?

What single battle most affected the outcome of history?
Battle of the Marne, 1914. Without that battle, there is no WW1... and there's no way to tell how incredibly different the world would be without WW1.
>>2877845
Probably some ancient battle in 50000 BC that we don't know about.
>>2877845
Marathon
What caused the Spanish Empire's decline?
the Spanish
economic problems, constant fighting in pointless wars, and poor leadership
>>2877638
Spanish explorers seemed like they were much more interested in screwing local women than establishing actual colonies.
How could Europe have been united pre-20th century?
>what religion would it follow
>what language would it speak
>what culture would dominate
>>2877494
The only way I can see it reunited is Napoleon succeeding in uniting it, or Charlemagne + sons doing better
Literally impossible. The nationalism meme is too strong.
>>2877616
Napoleon's really the only plausible possibility.
Was this the worst defeat anyone had suffered in a single day?
The battle of thumbnails, OP the faggot III, lost
>>2877305
nope
>>2877327
Ahhh China.
Where a single battle results in the loss of a few hundred thousands lives and it's fucking normal.
Was prohibition really a culture war between the anglo-saxon protestants of rural America and the alcohol loving Germanic and/or catholic residents of the cities?
>>2876838
It was a war on degenerate anti-culture.
>>2876838
it was a war between the sexes
>>2876838
Yes, prohibition was primarily motivated by anti-German sentiment since drinking of alcohol was seen by many WASPs as a German trait

>With rapid improvements in biotechnology and bioengineering, we may reach a point where, for the first time in history, it becomes possible to translate economic inequality into biological inequality. Biotechnology will soon make it possible to engineer bodies and brains, and to upgrade our physical and cognitive abilities. However, such treatments are likely to be expensive, and available only to the upper crust of society. Humankind might consequently split into biological castes.
>There is one more possible step on the road to previously unimaginable inequality. In the short-term, authority might shift from the masses to a small elite that owns and controls the master algorithms and the data which feed them. In the longer term, however, authority could shift completely from humans to algorithms. Once AI is smarter even than the human elite, all humanity could become redundant.

Let's be honest: if the 1% starts messing around with genetic engineering, we should just start killing them.
No procrastination, no trust: we all know it's the first step towards a neo-feudal society. Any attempt at that is basically an attack on our human condition, and as such the only acceptable reaponse would be lynching.
The same will applie for corporations who want to have a monopoly on an automated sector: if that hapoens I think it's only fair to kill everyone involved in it, and socialize those fully automated means of production. I guess we can give them a reparation, if they're willing to step put voluntarily, but that's it.
Not a commie, but once genetic engineering and full automation comes into the game, the old working paradygms of capitalism stop working.
