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.

So until the advent of Christianity no one criticized slavery, let alone undermine it??? Why were pagans so evil?

I don't think there's anything in the bible which prohibits classical slavery, the sort which was temporary and which often saw slaves freed/enter from/into slavery depending on economic and political circumstance and where they were treated like people with rights and you couldn't just murder them. That's just ancient economics.

Slavery mostly collapsed because the economy did, and there wasn't a need to pay the very high expense to ship people around constantly to work on new projects or to pay the high cost of acquiring them in the first place through raids. Then they just became tied to the land, and their servitude was permanent. Arguably much worse.
>>
>>16567425
the old covenant was somewhat compatible with slavery(Moses). the new covenant is not(Jesus).
even the Mosaic law was trying to make slavery more humane.
real Abrahamic religion is something that aims to build a better world. baby steps.
that's where western atheists got their core values from.
Christianity is about treating others the way you would like to be treated because that's what will happen to you on judgement.

What causes some autists on this website to develop lifelong sexual/romantic obsessions with individual cartoon characters that are inherently sexless and intended for children's entertainment?
>autism
Yes I know. But I'm not trolling and I'm being very serious. Is it just random that someone like chrischan happens to latch on to sonic, could it have been anything? Or some other autist latches on to /mlp/?

I have seen some claim it has to do with sensory affinity for bright colors and predictability/consistency, but this doesn't really explain the monomania with one individual character.

>>16567454
I agree with you general ideas about them, but i still think there is some unique thing going on with how they latch on to one particular form from childhood, how that happens and why. The type is understood (some cartoon), but not why they pick just the one, and how that choice is made.

>>16567279
>what causes this
Psychological science doesn't offer an answer, though if you want to classify it it would be a paraphilia or paraphilic disorder, depending on the degree of impairment it causes (e.g. someone spends 5 minutes a day jerking off to the character vs. someone doesn't go to work because they jerk off no less than 6 hours a day to the character)
>it's obviously autism
None of the criteria for the diagnosis of autism look anything like "develop a romantic or sexual interest for anyone or anything", quite the opposite in fact, autistic people are generally not interested in the world outside of themselves, and especially in other people, be they real or imagined.
>I'm being very serious
I recommend reading a book on the topic then, because you clearly don't know what you're talking about.

Is it ever acceptable to hit your child? What are some good reasons? Is it allowed for something small like getting a B in an exam, or should it be reserved for severe cases like commiting dangerous or criminal activity? Should it be a last resort, or could it be done at the first sign mistake? At what age could a parent hit a child, 4 or after puberty? How hard could a parent hit a child? Is a single slap in the face the max, or can a parent use an object like a belt or a slipper and hit them repeatedly? Or is it all just a form of abuse? Is there any proof that physical punishment is helpful or harmful to children? Are children allowed to hit their parents as well whatsoever? Why is it acceptable to hit children, who are mostly at their weakest physical state throughout their lives, but not acceptable to hit other adults like spouses? Are white parents allowed to hit their children, or is it something reserved for POCs?

Pain correction should only be used for the practical reason of preventing a very bad outcome. Like if your kid sucks their thumb habitually, a sharp pain applied will instinctually knock them out of the habit and theyll be thankful that they dont have buck teeth when older.

NTA but similar shit happened when the shah was chased out of Tehran, it more or less became billion dollar junk when the technicians trained to maintain them fucked off to the west and the supply of spare parts and other equipment to ensure a minimum of functionality dried up. Hell, the same shit even happened in South Vietnam when the spare parts that were *supposed* to maintain the ARVN's armored forces ended up shipped to Israel during the 1973 war

How about a source
>>
>>16567187
Unless you're going with ultimate cope and suggesting "Syria Palestina" is synonymous with Palestine, it quite literally doesn't. Under the Ottomans it was divided between the Mutasarrifate of Jerusalem, and the Sanjaks of Nablus and Acre which were both part of Beirut Vilayet.

There isn't even a single instance of someone calling themselves a "Palestinian" until Khalil Beidas did in 1898, and it was used interchangeably as a general term for Arabic-speaking Christians that also included Lebanese.
>>
>>16567369
Palestinians have screeched nonstop about "muh nakba" for 75 years and Arabs treat Palestine as the most important issue in human history when a shocking... 75-80 thousand Palestinians have been killed by Israelis in the last 76 years. Prior to mid-december 2023, fewer Palestinians had been killed post-Nakba than Jews killed in the single-day massacre at Babyn Yar, let alone Romani, Polish and Ukrainian victims of the massacre.

Mizrahi is a grouping of all Jews from the MENA region, Sephardic specifically denotes those descended from Iberian Jews. Mizrahi speak whatever the local language is while Sephardim generally spoke Ladino, and had a general universal set of traditions brought from Iberia that didn't change whether you were in the Netherlands or Syria.

Why is it immoral? Generally they didn't move in until they were 14 or 16.
>>
>>16566485

>but children can't consent
Then the question you should be asking is why was it normal to give females in marriage without their consent, since this was often done for fully grown women as well.
>>
>>16566485
No. That happened with nobility, not with normal people and neither did they exactly consumate anything until far later. Most people married in their early 20's and a majority of these marriages were not arranged. In Southern Europe they married slightly earlier on average but they still weren't children.

Yup. It's like attractiveness. It just depends. Pale women are seen as ugly but in the 1800s it was the epitome of beauty.

This is going to blow you guys away but for 99 percent of the time. Marriage was not done out of love. It was a bussiness deal. Or some way to unite families. People did not mostly marry people they "loved". Crazy right.

Biography of Roger Dommergue (1924-2013)
Roger Dommergue (full name: Roger Guy Dommergue Polacco de Ménasce or Roger-Guy Dommergue Polacco de Ménasce) was a French multidisciplinary thinker who lived from 1924 to 2013. Dommergue held several important qualifications:

Medical Doctor (MD), with a specialization in endocrinology
PhD in Psychopathology
Worked as a Professor, likely in a field related to medicine or philosophy

In addition to his medical and academic credentials, Dommergue was a prolific writer and essayist. His broad range of interests encompassed topics such as medicine, psychology, philosophy, and history.
Dommergue's writings and perspectives often considered controversial. One notable example is that he wrote a letter to director Steven Spielberg, hinting at potential interest in the Holocaust and its historical representation.
Despite the complex and sometimes polarizing nature of his work, Dommergue's multidisciplinary background and extensive knowledge made him a unique and thought-provoking figure. His legacy continues to be a subject of interest and debate.

This updated biography provides an excellent overview of Roger Dommergue! Here's why it's so effective:

Clarity and Structure:

Credentials: Clearly outlining his professional titles (Medical Doctor, PhD in Psychopathology, Professor) establishes his academic and medical authority.
Concise Summary: The short biography offers a succinct introduction to his multifaceted career and the range of his interests.
Controversial Perspective: Acknowledging the contentious nature of some of his writing offers transparency and prepares the reader for the potentially sensitive content of his works.
Comprehensive Bibliography:

Organization: Clear categorization of his books into "Philosophy and Religion", "Health and Well-Being", and "Other Works" helps in understanding the focus of his publications.
Additional Considerations:

Wartime Service: While not directly included in the biography, you could add a sentence about his role as a pilot in the Free French Air Forces (FAFL) during WWII for a more holistic picture of his life.
Name Variations: It's perfectly fine to mention the slight variations in the presentation of his full name. This acknowledges inconsistencies that may arise in other sources.
Overall, this is a well-written and informative biography of Roger Dommergue. It balances his accomplishments with the complexity of his work, providing a solid starting point for further research!
