Philosophically speaking, should people who know they are dumb and uneducated be discouraged from sharing their opinion?

Like, I know I'm dumb and uninformed, but it feels so good spouting off some half true nonsense that on surface level seems right and getting other equally dumbfuck people to agree with me.

It feels so good and I cant stop. And I rarely get called out for it too.

No. Everyone should be encouraged to take part in arguments and back their opinions and views in a calm, rational fashion, with logic and rhetoric.
In my opinion, school systems should focus on a slightly more classical approach to teaching, with logic and rhetoric being taught to all.
>Logic (dialectic) is the process of correct reasoning. The traditional text for teaching logic was Aristotle's Logic. In the modern renaissance of classical education, this logic stage (or dialectic stage) refers to the junior high or middle school aged student, who developmentally is beginning to question ideas and authority, and truly enjoys a debate or an argument. Training in logic, both formal and informal, enables students to critically examine arguments and to analyze their own. The whole goal is to train the student's mind not only to grasp information, but to find the analytical connections between seemingly different facts/ideas, to find out why something is true, or why something else is false (in short, reasons for a fact).
>Rhetorical debate and composition are taught to somewhat older (often high school aged) students, who by this point in their education have the concepts and logic to criticize their own work and persuade others. According to Aristotle "Rhetoric is the counterpart of dialectic", concerned with finding "all the available means of persuasion." The student now learns to articulate answers to important questions in his/her own words, to try to persuade others with these facts, and to defend ideas against rebuttal. The student learns to reason correctly in the Logic stage so that they can now apply those skills to Rhetoric. Traditionally, students would read and emulate classical poets in learning how to present their arguments well.

>Sindh, Punjab
Indic peoples who speak Indic languages. Punjabs are ethnically the same as those in Northern India, a lot of them who are Sikhs.

>Northern Areas: Dards, Balti, Burushaski

Isolated peoples who have little connection with each other and little connection with other peoples in the whole area. Dards are isolated groups of ancient Indo-Europeans mixed with Kalash and Nuristani peoples. Baltis are group of Muslim Tibetan speaking peoples. Burushaski speak an language isolate language that isn't Indo-European, not related to any other language in the world.

>Northwest: Pashtuns
Basically Eastern Iranic Pashtun peoples who spilled over from Afghanistan

>Balochistan
Southern speakers of an Iranic langage. A lot ethnically different to Northern Indians and more similar to Balochis in southern Iran

The Republic - Plato
Theaetetus - Plato

Metaphysics - Aristotle

The Republic and the Empire and so on gets all the rome related discussion. No love for the Roman monarchy? How about we change that.

Also, pre-rome founding latium, Alba Longa and the Latin league, that kind of stuff.

Alight, the kingdom of Rome was an elective monarchy, the Senate of the Roman Kingdom would, upon the death of the King, elevate one of themselves to the office for life. If the senate could not decide on a king, the senators would elect temporary king, the 'Interrex', until they could decide. The Interex had a short term limit (5 days) and so multiple Interreges could have ruled before a perma-king would be established.

Serverus Tullius is often considered one of Romes greatest kings but if you read between the lines he usurped the senatorial prerogative, proclaiming himself king and letting the people ratify it. He then allegedly passed a number of reforms which weakened senatorial power.

Was he just a popular tyrant?
>>
>>1577219

Where did the Latins/Romans originally come from? From what I understand they weren't indigenous to Central Italy and were probably from somewhere in the Balkans. On the other hand certain religious traditions bear signs of them having originally been a nomadic steppe people at some point. Is that just proto-Indo-European influence or is that from a later date?
>>
>>1577325
Romes founding myth states that the Latins came from Troy and mixed with locals. Now that's likely untrue, it might indicate that they were originally outsiders.

Now that the dust has settled can we agree that Iraq won the Iran-Iraq War?

>Iran lost more than 3 times as many soldiers as Iraq
>Iran was forced to accept Iraq's conditions for peace, the same conditions for peace Iran had rejected in 1982
>Iran accepted the conditions after a series of Iraqi military offensives pushing them back from all occupied iraqi territory
>war ended with Iraq holding Iranian territory
>Khomeini described accepting the peace treaty as "drinking from the cup of poison"
>the end of the war was met with celebrations in Iraq but solemn mourning in Tehran
>the Iraqi army ended the war as the fourth largest army in the world and in tact, whereas the Iranian army was smashed and barely functioning by the end of the war

Was there anything of the sort that we know of?

Obviously pirates and bandits existed, but I mean stuff like 'shady residents in cities doing unlawful stuff', kind of things.

Piracy and banditry were to the preindustrial world what organized crime is to modern society
>>
in the modern world the difference between lawful and unlawful is remarkably clear. governments less stable than what we (in europe) have now don't really differentiate themselves from mob all that much. consequently it's harder to tell what is organized crime and what is an alternate government.
>>
How are bandits and pirates not organized crime? As far as I know, organized crime is basically crime committed by multiple people in cooperation.

The following could amount to a crucial and timely philosophical breakthrough. It seems to be very close to what Immanuel Kant called the philosophers' stone.
Delusionally oversimplified: A new philosophical backbone for a global order,regional orders, local orders, personal orders, some degree more potent than communism.
The set of questions

"Do I seem free enough?
If yes, for how long probably?
If so, what could I do that seems best for all?"

could maybe form the root of a new ethics. It gives people a "start for thinking", which accounts for a basic bipolarity: (non-deity-) agents have two high objectives:
-existential/recurring personal liberation, for example from itch or death, and
-moral activity which attempts, what seems to be best for all.

This may seem abstract, but in the time it grew with me, it raised some heavy/influential consequences:
- a bipolarity for the political landscape, that seems scalable from the individual to the whole of humanity, and that at the same time seems much more cooperative, as every human experiences both parties' central objectives in his daily life. Maturing democracy's appeal big time.
- some basic root thoughts for an artificial intelligence, that could invoke a reasoned, largely beneficial stance on humanity (in case you mind: see "control problem")
(continued)

(2/2)
And it has some important conclusions for the present years' situation:
- Liberation is important only besides "best for all", therefore there has to be a dynamic limit to it: "increasingly voluntary liberations sum equality" (Binding engagement subtracts from liberation.)
- Liberation, that is ignorant of other agents, risks their antiliberation, pressing them to liberate themselves as well. This possible mutually ignorant subgroup liberation can spiral down. The way out, even for past events, seems to be "increasingly voluntary antiliberation compensation".
The first point would ease inequality tensions and the second would slow downward spirals in politics, economics... from small to big scale.

-If you mind, take these last points to a news page of your flavour and test them.
-Please be careful implementing, I am too poor to compensate damage done.
-I cherish anonymity here, as I seem productive that way and I guess, that with a public position that would change, to long term detriment.
-I learned to prefer gradual evolution over disruptive revolution. This system should help with that.
-The MOST URGENT consequence seems to be, that people keep calm and go on in their doings, now seemingly assured of improvement, to avoid systemic seizure.

Thanks for all good
All good to all

Why the black community in the USA is in such terrible state ? I know slavery can explain a lot of things, but it seems to me the black community, despite segregation, was well integrated in the USA in the 20s, 30s. They produced great musicians, athletes, were patriotic, and even though they were poorer, it was still better than today thanks to family traditions and religious zeal.
Now, the black community in the US is among the worst. Drugs, violence, racial tensions, ghettos, rap...
Why did the black community become this bad ?
