This board is dedicated to the discussion of history and the other humanities such as philosophy, religion, law, classical artwork, archeology, anthropology, ancient languages, etc. Please use /lit/ for discussions of literature. Threads should be about specific topics, and the creation of "general" threads is discouraged.

For the purpose of determining what is history, please do not start threads about events taking place less than 25 years ago. Historical discussions should be focused on past events, and not their contemporary consequences. Discussion of modern politics, current events, popular culture, or other non-historical topics should be posted elsewhere. General discussions about international culture should go on /int/.

/his/ is not /pol/, and Global Rule #3 is in effect. Do not try to treat this board as /pol/ with dates. Blatant racism and trolling will not be tolerated, and a high level of discourse is expected. History can be examined from many different conflicting viewpoints; please treat other posters with respect and address the content of their post instead of attacking their character.

When discussing history, please reference credible source material, and provide as much supporting information as possible in your posts.

Humans are evil. Most here would torture and murder other conscious beings for arbitrary reasons. People pretend to be good, they seem good, until push comes to shove, in fact it doesn't even take a shove, if there are no consequences to their actions they are inclined to harm you. There is no true good in the world.

Estonians are Balts with a small Finnish admixture, Hungarians are Slavs, and Romanians are southern Slavs.
genetically this is true.
Italians and Greeks are very different, by the way.

Trickle-up economics is what's actually real. Poor people spend their money, thereby reinvesting it into the greater economy. Rich people just hoard. That's why wealth redistribution always has the same result.

Trade unions were not allowed under the Soviet Union. Also not all wealth trickles down from the top, sometimes people can generate wealth on their own initiative, even if it is difficult and not everyone becomes a millionaire it doesn't hurt to allow people that freedom. Communism is an evil oppressive ideology.

Id say run it on Single not Distance, using the "modern population average scaled" sheet on Source. That what I did.
But I still dont know how to adjust it to get consistent results. You get slightly different results every time you run it. Nothing too drastic though.

Non-physical things don't exist. Or at least there are no good reasons to think they do exist.

Prove that a soul exists. You can't.
Prove that God exists. You can't.

>Like, the solar eclipse
Famously, Einstein had to wait a decade or so, or more, for his theory of general relativity to be verified. Since it required a study of the effects of bending of spacetime on light through the moon. He only got his Nobel prize after. Even more so, the first experiment for a time was thought to prove him wrong. I forgot why they decided to try again, they possibly realized a measurement error.

It took 20 years of the theory to be verified, or so, and this was because of the elusiveness of experimentation. How many miracles are accounted for by both the Orthodox and Catholic church every year? How many saints? And who has actually done a thorough examination on these results and may correctly falsify them?

Non-physical things influence the path and manner of physical things, therefore they exist.

We have known that for decades, only the Karl Earlson "nordics are aliens" type of people still take it seriously. The whole theory is based on how a poetic term is translated into modern english its not a reliable method. Not every english translation is consistent even: T. E. Lawrence's (writting under T. E. Shaw) translation of the Odyssey uses brown-haired instead of blond-haired to describe menelaus in the first book.
