I have only a little understanding of linguistics but I think they would laugh about efficiency. It does not seem there is such a thing. Prove me wrong.
>Do you think we will see any major changes to the way languages are formed in the future?
Why would it change differently? I can see the internet having more influence on language, but that doesn't mean a different kind of change.

>>1523740

Maybe in the future we will see more initiatives like Esperanto.

So people actively trying to create better languages.

>>1523749
There's no thing as better languages. I suggest you go to r/linguistics. It is Reddit, but it has actual linguistics (those who study language).
Unless some anon here studies or studied linguistics I doubt you get good answers here.

That's not a human

What if

stay with me

what if

Ada
and
Eve

were

the metaphorical representation

of all men

and women

and not just two individuals?

>>1523515
I would tell you to properly read the post, then. The Catechism of the Catholic Church - as approved by the Magisterium - states explicitly that Adam and Eve were real individuals, and that the only possible metaphor was the fable of the eating of fruit.

Most Christian denominations hold Eve and Adam to have had a literal existence, and it is only the story of the serpent and the fruit of the tree that is relegated to the realm of metaphor.

>>1523532
Nowhere in your post does it say that though

Bump, great question

>>1523385
Nationalism?

I'm just talking out of my ass, but maybe these standing armies of smaller nation states had a stronger sense of national identity and pride in serving their state than the Roman legions did serving a giant multiethnic empire and conversely the legions revolved more around cults of personality of their leaders than the empire itself? Idk

Rise in the standard of living. Why revolt when you can just get paid your fair share and fuck off to live in peace?

natural selection, for centuries only the finest warriors could repel the irish barbarians

Only shitty protestant churches in the American south/southeast insist upon the anti-intellectualism and new earth horseshit. Catholicism and the Vatican recognizes tons of new scientific discoveries that contradict the bible's explanation.

Muhammad never existed

We can't tell why Ali's quran was rejected, unless we can actually read it. Most probale reasons would be his comentary was not fit for the political, social or religious theme of that era. But looking at the number of his teachings mentioned in hadith says otherwise.

Before it was written, it were to be memorised. These people were Hafiz, there are still many of the Hafiz today. The Prophet selected young and intelligent scholars to do this.
However, some verses in the Quran are time related, they were only validated in a specific time period. Some verses are even neglected because of some of the Hadith. In the Quran it states that it would be lawful for one to eat anything from the sea. Yet, some knowledgeable scholars did not permit the act of eating foods like Shrimp, various crustaceans, shark etc.

I'm a well knowledged Muslim, ask me anything

>>1523230
Leaving aside the validity of their claims?

Nietzsche probably, just because he reaches your soul with his writing.

>>1523230
>who made the strongest case compelling a person to care about their philosophy?
I dunno about your metric here but probably the most "universally relevant" philosopher is Kant because out of his idealism comes all modern political ideologies

Aristotle, who laid the foundations of logic and reason, from which all philosophies would rise, especially the enlightenment philosophies.

you need a balance between the 2

Nationalism is the answer
a collective group whose common identity gives them enough cohesion to allow personal freedoms

anything else you either have Despotic States like absolute monarchies and communism or Anarchism and Tribalism

>>1523224

Game theory.

Co-operation is the best strategy for maximising the well being of the individual.

>>1523245

only with in-group preferences

in-group preferences eventually wins with total cooperation by not reciprocating the total cooperation group's support

solve that question with science and math.

What would a society ruled by science and math look like? Technocracy?

>>1523211
No humans.

All I know on this matter is Egyptians were crazy about symbolism. Their names and titles had different meanings at the same time, e.g being a "shooter" meant you were good at archery and ejaculated alot. Hieroglyphs are a form of symbolism in writing using pictures instead of words. Anubis with the head of a jackal was most likely derived from the jackals which would consume the dead and hung around dead bodies or people about to die.

all the egyptian gods are real and the stories are to be believed, simple as that. why do you think meme magic is happening ? kek

>>1523168
You know the Greek gods sometimes used to have sex with the Egyptian gods. Hell most of them were considered different names for the same dude. Thoth's temple was called Hermopolis for a reason, that isn't what the Egyptians called it.

They were both both, they are personifications.

Do the Japanese invasion of Korea then. I assume you know at least a little bit about it.

>Can there ever be

Should there ever be?

>outside Mathematics?

Did you confuse empiricism for rationalism?

>>1523137

sorry
I think that I explained myself wrong
can you ever receive pure knowledge trough senses outside Mathematics?
