  • New age, huh?

    1908, modeled on German Einfühlung (from ein "in" + Fühlung "feeling"), which was coined 1858 by German philosopher Rudolf Lotze (1817-1881) as a translation of Greek empatheia "passion, state of emotion,"

    I looked up empatheia and it turns out to mean maliciousness and having an opposite meaning

  • I'm running things on a 500GB SSD drive so anything north of 100GB is a hard sell. I'm also on low-mid specs so it's generally not much of an issue. The games I play mostly fall in the 0-5GB category but I do play the occasional 20-50GB.

    One of the biggest games I've played on my PC is Red Dead Redemption 2 at 120GB.

  • For the curious "Gandalf" is made up of two old norse words "gandr" meaning a walking stick or staff and "álfr" moaning an elf. The movies pronounce it correctly of course.

  • Of course there's a lot of information about Cleopatra, she was married to the Consul of the Roman Empire and was the ruler of Ptolemaic Egypt. Of course documents on Jesus are going to be a lot more scarce.

    Jesus was not a big name during his lifetime, he was literally just a random guy in the desert that led a cult. It's hard enough to find data on literal Roman emperors during the crisis of the third century.

    To get some data on Jesus you first need a guy that can write (rare), writing stuff on a person of little renown (very rare), that is predominantly followed by poor people (also rare), and for it survive 2000 years. I'm frankly surprised there is any data at all on him that's this close to him being alive instead of people just writing down oral history like they did for rise of Muhammad.

    I'm not saying that there is a lot of data but that there is some. I personally think it's very plausible that there was a cult leader that essentially started Christianity. Oral history points to Jesus as well as second hand witnesses.

    Other writings include Tacitus (known for being unbiased on his writing about roman emperors) writing on how he was crucified during Tiberius' reign. Tacitus had access to a lot more data than we have and was a very competent historian.

    I don't believe he had any powers or was in any way magical godly or anything but Christian writings refer to him as well as Romans in a situation where it's very plausible that a religion is started by a leader of some sort. I find it very likely that he existed.

    There's no smoking gun but all the guns are pointing in the same direction.

  • You can then pretty much say that most classical history is made up since it's just some accounts of people often written post-mortem.

    Often in history from the time of the Roman Empire the sources are few and far between since it'd have to survive 2000 years to get to the present.

    All we know is that suddenly a bunch of people starting talking about a rando in the desert called Jesus. Even though we don't have an eye witness writing we have a person that spoke with the eye witnesses.

    Then also, it's just some letters he's sending to a Christian community in modern day Turkey that happened to survive.

    I'm an atheist but I feel the evidence is pretty solid for Jesus existing. Rest of it is exaggeration I think.

  • There is actually evidence that Jesus existed in Paul's Letters 50-60 AD although he did not have direct contact with him but he met his followers and wrote about him.

    Evidence for him being God is completely different question and can probably neither be proven or disproven.
