Jan Assmann: Religion and the (Un)translatability of Cultures

[@mazyar_]

Very insightful, thank you. It seems Prof. Assmann's second lecture isn't avalable to the public.

Professor Assmann so wise

[@gristly_knuckle]

Besides the Chaotic Evil diplomacy, I don't really see the difference between Yahweh and Pharoah, except the high priest took less responsibility in the former case, the strategy that proved better than non-anonymized use of subtle action. The notion of a god-emperor or God is typical to human nature, as it's an expression of the ruling male's unchecked ego, threatened only by the power of other gods. I enjoyed the intro to Populous: The Beginning. This is now Populous: The End.

An institution of high standing and the Mic isn't working properly? Are you serious? F**king RIDICULOUS.

There should obviously be somebody who tests the technic before, right?
