How do you justify eating meat? Do you consider hunting morally acceptable opposed to factory farming?

Well-managed hunting, like we have in Missouri, can actually benefit wildlife populations. There is a great deal of science behind wildlife management. If you're interested, look up some articles in the Journal of Wildlife Management.

Why does the idea of a strict hierarchy that revolves around genetic determinism bother so many people? Is it because it hits too close to home?

There are probably like a million answers to that question and your questions too vague to start off with. Did the central powers win or lose? If they won how would a WW2 start in this timeline? So on and so on. You don't give a proper basis for people to even try to start answering your question.

Is world history that doesn't have much of an effect on where we are now relevant or worth learning? I mean is it worth learning about Sub Saharan African history when most of it was rendered "useless" upon European colonization? What is the point? Is it just learning for the sake of learning? Or is that history relevant and I'm just too dumb to know how?

Aside from just being interesting, even history which doesn't seem to matter that much generally does have an effect on the world today. When Europeans colonised Africa they didn't just wipe the slate clean and replace the past with their own civilization (like they did in Australia); they established some established some of their institutions and technology over earlier societies whose social, political, religious, economic, agricultural and other cultural practices and institutions still shape life in those places today. You might know where African technology and government institutions come from, but you wouldn't know anything beyond that. This applies everywhere. You wouldn't know anything about why Japan, China, India and Kenya are so different. You wouldn't know why the Islamic world is the way it is, or why the Australians were wiped out while Africans are still around, or why

I'd say some history is more important than others, and generally if you learn about the line of civilizations that goes, roughly, "Mesopotamia/Egypt - Greeks/Romans - Muslims/Christians - Western Europe and colonies," then you'd learn most of the most important the developments shaping the modern world, but you'd be missing major parts of the story like the domestication of horses and maize, the development of gunpowder and Indian numerals, and countless other things essential to the modern world. Furthermore as I said above, you'd only have the vaguest knowledge of most world regions, meaning you'd really only understand a handful of modern Western societies, and even those not completely.

Of course a lot of it we do just research because it's interesting. Irish metalworking and Mayan vase paintings don't really matter, but they're interesting so who cares?
>>
>>2236573

History is valuable because it tells us the kinds of solutions humans come up with to various situations. We may never have to survive as hunter gatherers again, but by examining hunter gatherer societies we can learn many interesting truths about all humans, and thus, about ourselves.

Should assisted suicide for patients suffering pain be legal? Here's the opinions I've heard on this topic, add your own or argue about them.
For
>If the patient is lucid, he should be able to decide his own fate, if not he should be asked to decide before he enters a vegetative state
>The line between sustained life in pain and death is very thin and thus the decision becomes insignificant
>It's expensive to keep people who'd soon die anyway alive, that money can be used to save other lives

Against
>God doesn't agree
>It's against the Hippocratic Oath
>Making assisted suicide legal will increase the acceptance of suicide making it more common
>Killing is always wrong and unjust
>The patient suffers from disease and trauma, his decisions can't be logical

Is it true that Phillip the II could have taken Paris after San Quentin? Why the fuck he didn't take the city to get a better deal in the peace treaty and to maybe to capture the French royal family to impoe the conditions that he wished? Am I missing something? Why didn't he just take?

>>2236510
I don't think he could. Paris was the biggest city in western Europe. The armies at that time were slow and costed a lot to maintain. Philip II probably had in mind the siege of Metz where his father completly failed. Besides, the garnison in Saint Quentin hadn't surrender yet.

He already got pretty much everything he wanted from the war; the three Bishorphics, and confirmed Hapsburg domination in Italy. Why extend the campaign?

Alright, so I know I'm probably not going to get the best answer from here on /his/, but I've recently been reading the letters of King Alfonso of the Kongo towards the Portuguese king and he seemed really commited in his writings to learning about Europe, and was in particular quite evangelical in his spread of Christianity within the Congo Basin as well as to the process of Westernizing to some extent, to the point that the Catholic church sending regular missions up until the 17th century, when they just kind of stop getting contact from the region for whatever reason. It seems like by the time the Belgians got there that most of the populace sort of relapsed out of Christianity, or practiced some bastardized form of it altogether.

My question is what went wrong, or rather changed? What caused a Kingdom that had extensive (and semi-beneficial) exposure to European contact via the Portuguese to suddenly vanish and become forgotten by the time of the scramble for Africa?

Please. The only true Roman Empire fell in 476, not in 1453 or 1806.
