Being a crossbowman during a siege would be the shit I would love to snipe some dumb fucking knights and worthless infantrymen with their garbage meme melee weapons. What even was the fucking point of knights and infantry if projectile weapons fucked them up lmao medieval people truly were idiots.

>Civil rights are a product of marxist labour unions subverting the mind of the worker and seeding seditious attitudes towards their nation and government.

>The Magna Carta was the first marxist revolution in history, one of the two that inspired Marx himself.

No one, you just made up that bullshit by yourself

It is known that one of the biggest issues with democracy is the fact that it treats all citizens as equals, despite the fact that inequality exists within each one of us.

How do we deal with this issue, in a way that is not only effective, but could also realistically be implemented?

So is it safe to say destiny exist in a way? I don't mean a story written by some god but the life is clearly random, we have no power over who will we be born as and where and it's obvious that for example African born in some war torn country will have a dog shit life and he simply cannot change it not to mention genetics also determine our character so life is nothing more than unfair dice roll and once you're born everything is set in motion and free will was proven to be non existing so you have no other choice but to endure the ride or kill yourself.

Why Europeans had such hate boners for projectile weaponry? Greeks were butthurt about peltasts as if throwing javelins was the same as standing far in the back and shooting arrows and there is nothing wrong with that either it's not like the archers fucking assasinate them in their sleep.

Why Europeans thought ranged weapons were dishonorable but asians were cool with it? Also if they were so concerned about muh honorable melee combat why they used polearms which existed solely to keep the enemy far away? Pre gunpowder era people were seriously daft hypocrites.

#notalleuropeans

Just the knights, and then only when they were fighting with other knights. Arrows and crossbows were the weapons of poor, peaceful peasants with weak bodies and spirit and no knowledge of actual chivalrous combat, who fought for their lives and not for honor. But if it was peasants you were fighting, then it was perfectly fine to use their dishonoravle weapons against them.

Let's talk about logic.

1. Is logic a branch of philosophy or a branch of math? After all, every modern logician had a math degree, e.g. Russell, Frege, Gödel, Hilbert, Kripke.

2. Can all philosophy be reduced to logic? I mean not necessarily propositional logic or first order logic, but perhaps some higher order logic, modal logic, fuzzy logic, quantum logic or any other known extension of logic. Or is there some way of thinking which can never be formalized?

3. How much logic do I need to know if I want to do serious philosophy?

Did he really say that? Where?
>>
>>1348764
In the epistemology section of The World as Will and Representation

>Hence arises the remarkable fact, that while in other sciences the particular case is always proved by the rule, in logic, on the contrary, the rule must always be proved from the particular case; and even the most practised logician, if he remark that in some particular case he concludes otherwise than the rule prescribes, will always expect to find a mistake in the rule rather than in his own conclusion.

>To desire to make practical use of logic means, therefore, to desire to derive with unspeakable trouble, from general rules, that which is immediately known with the greatest certainty in the particular case. It is just as if a man were to consult mechanics as to the motion of his body, and physiology as to his digestion; and whoever has learnt logic for practical purposes is like him who would teach a beaver to make its own dam.

Based fucking Schopy blowing the fuck out whole movements in like a line

Nevertheless, he does say:

>Logic is, therefore, without practical utility; but it must nevertheless be retained, because it has philosophical interest as the special knowledge of the organisation and action of reason

I've read that the Achaemenids banned slavery, but I've also heard others say it's not true or was decreed but never actually implemented. Maybe they didn't practice slavery themselves, but allowed its practice among subject populations? Can anyone shed some light on this?

I'll dump some reconstructions anyway.

Why did nations like Paraguay have such a strong sense of national identity, and fight horrendous wars against their neighbours in the hope of preserving their independence?

Weren't they just some glorified administrative subdivision of Spanish SA? Why did the rebelling colonies have such a strong sense of nationhood?

How could Western society go from ultra conformist in the 1950s to completely anti-conformist in only 10 years? The change in society from the 50s to the 60s has to be the biggest societal change in only 10 years in all of Western history. Was there 1 event that caused this?

I can think of one issue.

The war was getting pretty scary and, while the commies were still considered bad guys, propaganda couldn't put enough of a positive spin on USA intervention in Vietnam to make it all seem black and white, with USA as the heroes.

isnt that a straight up logical impossibility?

A = ~A is ground for disproving any other argument, assuming that statement to be true is in essence gibberish. It's like assuming Light = Dark or 1 = -1.
