What began the use of Seals as opposed to Arms?

Here in the UK, cities have Arms not Seals.

How come Australians were sheltered for so long from other civilizations even when polynesian people were a thing.

Every source I read says australian people only started connecting with other civilizations pos 1606.

Is it really possible for australia to have been perfectly isolated from other people for all this time?

Yep. Too much ocean and Australia itself is a massive place which was sparsely populated

Around 1500 European people were very intelligent and developed, but why were the natives who lived here in Brazil so fucking dumb and useless? Why didn't they evolve like Europe?

Necessity is the mother of invention. Natives had it too God for themselves to ever need to evolve. This is not a critique btw.

Do jews and christians believe the other gods like the ones people used to practice idolotry for exist at all or is their stance that these gods are just fictional? I know they don't believe these gods are equal to their own god, but I don't know if that's because they're nonexistent or just because they're lesser spiritual entities.

Yes demons exist.

Somehow all other religions on Earth are wrong but theirs is totes real.
>>
>>2538335
The stance is generally that all polytheistic deities are completely fictional and that any monotheistic deities that aren't Yahweh, are either fictional or a false re-imagining of the one true god.

How did Sub-Saharan Africa end up becoming overwhelmingly Christian, while India did not? Both were colonised by Christian Europeans
11 posts and 2 images submitted.

India has a rich religious tradition which spawned Hinduism and Bhuddism, and witdhstood even Islamic invasions, while Africa was just shamanism or animism or whatever.
>>
India had a culture.
>>
>>2538278
Hinduism is a systematic highly structure faith system with sacred texts, and a heigheirchy of God's. And even a unifying God, Brahman.

Hinduism itself absorbed other animist faiths as it spread.

Nothing about Christianity was new to them. They already had Krishna who was God incarnated as man to save humanity.

Meanwhile Africa had very primitive local tribal beliefs. They were pretty much mindblown by the idea of Jesus or Allah

Why did Lenin's feminism fail? Women were given equal rights, yet still faced sexism and only rarely occupied top positions in the regime.

Just because you give Women equal rights doesn't change the men's view on them.
>>
>>2538029
Because women were not eager to become men and give up their privilege of not having jobs at all

By that standard, why did feminism in the United States fail?

/his/, why are so many people moral relativists?

Because moral relativism is true

So they can be their own judges, and let themselves off lightly.

I think that Moral Relativism depends on what your culture considers exceptable.

Are there any Slavic contributions at all? Why weren't they able to create any civilization on their own? Even Norsemen were able to make up some basic runes but apparently half of Europe's population wasn't.

Qt slav girls.

In all seriousness, though, it's tough to make any significant contributions to the world when your people are repeatedly enslaved and your states are frequently trashed by invaders.

More like a hobby for mediocre IQ people who are too uncreative to contribute in meaningful ways so they start writing incoherent essays and hope they will still be remembered despite being failures.

More or less a form of art. Kind of like literature, but not necessarily focused on a narrative. A philosopher does not study reality; they create a plausible explanation for something within reality as it relates to the human condition, to try and make sense of reality and our place within it.

Can we all agree that Wittgenstein was a subhuman and a stain in the history of biological life?
