ITT: Reasons to major in philosophy in uni
is it a waste of time or is there something to the socalled "soft skills" that you gain that are appreciated for many jobs ?
and is the difficulty of the subject worthy of academic unis ? does it train your arguing skills/reasoning skills greatly ?
I think that an education in mathematics and statistics or physics (I guess) will transform the way in which you think about the world more so than a philosophy education. Philosophy / philosophers (barring some of the Greeks) have always left me somewhat disappointed in comparison to the depth of feeling / though I find in good works of literature or theology or even religious text.
I think it depends what you find yourself caring about the most though, really. Do you actually like philosophy or do you just want to be "le smart philosopher man". That wasn't a jab at you, by the way. You should consider these things.

I kind of digressed there. I do mean that math / stat / phys or even literature / English / whatever humanities will probably prepare you for real life better more so than a philosophy education will in a lot of ways. Arguing is all never REALLY about being right... Not saying that's a good thing, but getting better at reading and writing in general will make you better at reasoning.
Statisticians typically have unbelievable reasoning ability, in my experience.
Our philosophy institute is full of spoiled fedora-tipping leftards
I once went there at night and hung up some "ABORTION IS MURDER" posters, and it got its own article in the uni newspaper as a "shocling display of patriarchal oppression"

Is anything known about North African religion and culture before Phoenicians or Arabs arrived? According to Herodotus they worshipped the sun and moon, but no gods.
According to Herodotus gold was mined by ants in India, I wouldn't place too much weight on him.

Will the Balkans ever see peace?
If the christian nations unite against the Turks, in doing so forming tighter bonds between some of them (Greece, Romania and Croatia, as examples of non-conflicting claims) bringing about large scale alliances and in the end a total war. The conclusion of this war will lead to the Balkans being divided between three superstates, a Union of Serbs and Croats, a Greek State, and a unified Romania-Bulgaria.
I dunno Balkans seem pretty peaceful right now desu senpai

Why did Jean-Bédel Bokassa crown himself Emperor of Central Africa? Was it old-fashioned dictatorial megalomania? Did he have an heir? And what was his inspiration? Was it Napoleon? Was it wewuzzing? Or something else?

Why was dairy farming culture so prominent among Indo-European and Turkic cultures in particular, and why did it only play a minor role in the Afro-Asiatic areas where it originated with Sumer and Egypt?
>>1983358
I don't know about the rest, but the Sumerians started having a hard time even watering their crops after years of irrigation started pulling salt up to the topsoil, killing everything off. I doubt they could manage raising cattle in those conditions.
>>1983358
Cuz it was cold as fuck and hard to grow food. People who survived were mutants who were able to digest milk from their animals
>>1983358
Because making dairy products requires a surplus of milk and a surplus of milk requires lots of pasture. It's much easier to raise animals for meat than dairy.
