The CIA wanted cats to be spies in the 1960s. They put recording devices inside them and tried to control their movements with sound. But it was a bad idea. They killed a cat during a test and the others didn't follow directions well. The project was a waste of $20 million.
>>15657280They also conducted mind control experiments on dogs.
Wasn't there an old movie about that?
What would have happened if Indonesia became a British colony instead of a Dutch one?
>>15655834Indonesia would be a very big Malaysia.Sukarno proposed a union between Malaysia and Indonesia.He called it Greater Indonesia
>>15655864Sauce on this?
>>15655845/thread lol
>>15655864>SukarnoNo he didn't, kill yourselfMost of the "Greater Indonesia" supporter were coming from British Malaya, while the actual Indonesian concerned themselves with consolidating the rest of Dutch Indies (Papua)
>>15656022What's
>The Norse Vikings discover America in the turn of the first millennium>The Skrælings (Native Americans) are all pre-historic stone age savages with no wheel, metal or civilisations to speak of>Half a millennia later Christopher Columbus discovers the New World>The natives didn't change one bit and are still Neolithic-tier savagesKek no wonder they roflstomped by whites
>>15651543>at least comparable to Bronze age civilizations, and in many ways closer to Classical ones or contemporary Medieval societies.>didn't have wheeled transport
>>15651459You'd have to be a brainwashed leftoid to deny the law of high and low races at this point.
>>15653530>They didn't need the wheelKek
The mestizo cope in this thread is fucking wild
>>15654750Since you're here, answer me this: did the mesoamericoids exclusively hold banners on their backs samurai style or was that only for warrior decoration and the actual troop coordination banners were held by hand? The two books i've read have very conflicting information on that specific subject
Why did Ethiopians/Abyssinians have so much trouble fighting Somalis when they had no problems steamrolling all the other nomadic and tribal groups? The Adalite Somalis even came close to wiping out Ethiopia until they recieved assistance by the Portuguese
Bump
The truth is that Somalis are an alpha male race.
>>15654684Somalians are just resilient and fearless. They would have too nuke them like the US did Japan.
>>15655455are there any somali pirates left?
Atheist here. I would have been a Christian if Evolution was not real. But unfortunately it is. That means the Adam and Eve story is false, and the Bible loses all credibility. If you resort to saying Adam and Eve was a metaphor, you might as well say Jesus was a metaphor also at that point. It's not my fault I'm an Atheist, that's just what science has revealed about the reality of nature and I have to accept it.
>>15655148A preacher once said, poignantly>did you need a scientist to tell you that humans share 99% of their DNA with apes?>have you seen an ape? Obviously they’re 99% similar>doesn’t prove a godless worldview though DunnoJust thought this was an interesting comment
>>15655148Evolution is actually very spiritual and not fully explicable by natural selection. Mechanistic Neo-Darwinism is not the last word on evolution. Other theories can lead more towards symbiosis as being the main driver and evolution having an inherent creativity, which could also lead to the argument the Earth is a superorganism. However, it seems to imply something like Daoism or Mahayana as being true.Abrahamism was always a trash tradition, so the fact you even "consider" that you would have been a Christcuck means you're a depraved dumbass.>>15656651Your angry, jealous god was always one of death and destruction just like your wretched heart. Kys in all sincerity.
>>15656651How is evolution a faulty theory? You can’t explain why
>>15655148Basically every sophisticated Christian accepts evolution, and it's not done by saying Adam and Eve was metaphor, read books
>>15655148>autistically literal interpretation of Adam and Eve storyLmao; lol
Does prayer work in the sense that it has SOME causal effects?
>>15655387Outside of 4chan
>>15655676Then why pray for healing in the first place?
>>15655697Probably fear or that they don't want to go to heaven yet. Or I'd your argument why aren't people always rational?
>>15655150There is _SOME_ whatever that may be
>>15655150Salman reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Nothing repels the divine decree but supplication, and nothing increases life span but righteousness.”Source: Sunan al-Tirmidhī 2139Grade: Hasan (fair) according to Al-Albani
Can someone explain this Bible passage to me? How can God (Jesus) not know something? In theory Jesus is omniscient/all-knowing.
>>15655156hypostatic union.The problem is trying to split the natures
>>15655162Actually what I'm saying here is quite profound spiritual wisdom that I was taught by a man greater than me. Jesus fully become Human, His human nature wasn't special by His right of birth or anything. He was fully human. And he walked the path that is intended for every human. His miracles are not from His Divine nature. His life is not from His Divine nature. On the earth He was the same human as you and I. And his wonderworks and feats of faith and wisdom is accessible to anyone. He Himself said that "if you follow Me, you will do more than I do".Google Kenosis
>>15655177Look for example at this passage"51 Then he went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them. His mother treasured all these things in her heart.52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and in years, and in divine and human favor."Jesus was growing, He wasn't simply a complete God who get everything from birth.
>>15654971The Hypostatic union. The Son in His human nature has human limitations such as growing in wisdom and stature (Luke 2:52) and having trouble carrying the cross, among other things. But the Son in His divine nature is omniscient. He has both natures simultaneously, and Matthew 24:36 is referring to the Son's human nature.
>>15654971According to trinitarians, Jesus lied when he said thatEverything else they will tell you is cope
Why is it okay for George Washington and his army to overthrow the British Government even though it's illegal,But not okay for Trump and his followers to peacefully protest on Jan 6?
>>15656507FAKE NEWS, FUCKO
>>15656513Yeah I do
the media are democrat asslicks and always have been, all the way back to the founding of the US, freedom of the press was largely to protect eventually democrat aligned papers. when immigrants on the east coast largely took over the media they largely pushed for leftist spending policies and hated protestant conservative americans (Trump)because he is a threat to the welfare establishment he must be destroyed
A continuing exhibition theme explores how ethnic media laid the foundation for civil rights. It showcases crusading journalists who publicized the struggle for justice, including Ignacio E. Lozano, who in 1926 founded La Opinion to fight mistreatment of Mexicans; and Bill Hosokawa, who published The Heart Mountain Sentinel while he was interned at a Japanese American relocation camp during World War II.One of the most fascinating surprises in the exhibition is the contract signed by Abraham Lincoln when he became a newspaper publisher in 1859. Anticipating a run for the presidency, he “recognized that the road to the White House went through the German American community in his hometown of Springfield, Ill.” So for $400, he bought the German-language newspaper Illinois Staats-Anzeiger to court German-speaking voters, and hired the paper’s editor to work on his campaign.

Byzantine-Persian War>Be Emperor Justin>Doing his best holding the realm together>Persian King Kavad keeps asking for gold to essentially pay off an invasion under the guise of "protecting trade through the caucus mountains">lol no way fag>While this angers the Persians. Kavad has a more pressing issue>His inheriting son held an opposing view of the new Zoroastrian revival>This would cause a lot of enemies from within, specifically from the other two sons>King Kavad comes up with a solution>Eldest son of 3, Khosrow, could be adopted by the aging Emperor, that way when Khosrow inherits Perisa, he will essentially be brothers with Justin's other adopted son and nephew Justinian>Not only that, Khosrow's brothers would be discouraged from fucking with the adopted son of a Roman Emperor>Both Justin and Justinian agree it sounds like a great idea>As Khosrow's on his way to Constantinople to meet his new adoptive father, a lawbreaker brings a matter to the attention of Justin>Due to how Roman adoption works, Khosrow would be a legitimate heir to the Byzantine throne>If something were to happen to Justinian and he had not designated an heir, it would naturally fall to the Persian princeComment too long.

The more I read into the Middle Ages the more the Phantom Time theory is fucking retarded
>>15655530I wish it was real. It would have made things more interesting
>>15655530>According to this scenario, the entire Carolingian period, including the figure of Charlemagne, is a fabrication, with a "phantom time" of 297 years (AD 614–911) added to the Early Middle Ages. What the fuck this is fucking retarded
Yeah, it is.But the Greek Dark Ages literally never happened. Bronze Age Collapse was real, but it didn't take centuries to recover.

>had to visit the Netherlands to see how shit was done
>>15655222To be fair Peter the Great probably had the same low opinion of Russia as you doubtlessly have. The entire point of Saint Petersburg (in itself being a Germanic-style name that Peter himself gave the city) was to be his personal version of Amsterdam as most Russian cities were still medieval-tier.
>>15654877you forget they fucked the Ottoman Empire so bad the Brits and French stepped in to help them
>>15655338>Russian cities were still medieval-tier.Implying that's a bad thing
>>15655846Oof
Get it? Holy Bible? See the joke is that the bible in this image is full of holes! lmao
When did human civilization reach its peak? (It sure isn't now)
>>1565617818th century had the 7 years war and the beginning of the French Revolution, pretty damn bloody
>>15656546This
>>15656102It is evident that the cultural peak of humanity occurred in the Neolithic times, as this era witnessed the emergence and spread of civilization, the foundation of philosophy, the development of agriculture, the invention of art forms and the first urban settlements.
>>15656966No it was gay and miserable.Pastoralist gang.

Does anyone know of a good narrative history book on Poland-Lithuania
>>15654135god's playground by Norman Davies is one of the most objective books about the matter due to authour's birthplace not being poland thus not aligning himself with any political narrative, if you are more interested in the downfall of PLC then Richard Butterwick's book "light and flame" is also quite meticulous and objective and covers lots of details, there are many polish authors that write with witty and beautiful prose, such as my favorite, Pawel Jasienica, but I don't know if there are any books avalible in english
>>15654558>god's playground norman davies>this isn't polish history it's the history of everyoneRed flag.
>>15654135either >>15654558 or Heart of Europe I guess. I'm Polish myself but I don't know of any other works like that, even in Polish. I hope someone bumps the thread with something else.You could also try the History of Poland Podcast on spotify I suppose, I'm not sure if it's still in production but the author made it up to Sigismund III. If you've watched History of Rome by Mike Duncan then you'll be right at home.
>>15655883The history of Poland podcast stopped being updated IIRC. There is the history of the crusades podcast. The Baltic Crusades portion is about the rise and fall of the teutonic order in the baltics
