This makes no sense, it makes for the first h rows to be in a disadvantage and probably, easily killed. Once you get to the real force at the end of the formation, most of your men are already killed.

Maybe, it was meant to rout broken infantry or they didn't actually charge frontally? I'm guessing for fun, I don't know shit.

>Do things have a meaning?
Depends of your definition of meaning.

>Is there are an absolute higher moral code that people should abide too?
None that is ""absolute""

>Or could it be that things have no meaning, and there is no such a thing as a noble, higher goal, and we just give meaning to things according to our own will?
Pretty much.

stop making this thread, it already exists and is always retarded

>Do things have a meaning?
I'll assume you mean in an objective sense, because I don't anyone would have trouble accepting that we can and do project subjective meaning onto things. I'd say no, but like the other anon said we'll have to get straight on what we mean by "meaning."

>Is there are an absolute higher moral code that people should abide too?
I'll say probably not. It is my intuition that if the answer to your first question is yes, then the answer to the second might be yes as well.

>Is there a definite way to prove if said code exists?
I doubt it.

>Or could it be that things have no meaning, and there is no such a thing as a noble, higher goal, and we just give meaning to things according to our own will?
Probably.

Sorry I didn't really have anything good to offer you to argue with, but I will say this: I think those questions are less interesting than other metaphysical, epistemological, and ontological questions that pop up in the analytic tradition.

No.

he created the welfare state and signed one of the worst gun control laws ever.

One of the worst presidents. Along with FDR, Woodrow Wilson, Andrew Johnson, Obama, Reagan, and Bush jr.

If not for Adrianople he'd be referred to as one of the top 3 greatest Emperors.

Hardly. Trivium-Quadrivium is more of a medieval meme so talking about degeneration from Medieval era is a bit absurd. One should start from modern era. Most of the Modern University education was just
-Latin
-Greek
-Ancient History

If you don't believe me you can easily find Course Catalogues of Upenn, Harvard etc from 19th century. Those were the basis of education. Math-Medicine etc came later on after you finished your latin and greek. Though later on Mathematics, Geometry was added to the curriculum and more it was added, less emphasis was being made on latin-greek and it just dissolved completely post WWII.

Regardless, Higher education back then was designed for the elite by the elite. Fucking Roosevelt and his fucking G.I. bill gave middle class an entitlement that they also should get a university education.

Nowadays higher education is / or should be a place for job training. Unless you are filthy rich you shouldn't study humanities in the fist place. The only thing one should study is to how to get a job i.e. how to make my employer richer.

Law is literally the first and most important university discipline

How Whiggish. I don't think you can say that a curriculum devoted to Greek, Latin, and history is superior to a curriculum that includes Latin and various other disciplines just because one came after the other.

More like its the 30s again and fascism is going to come back

Realistically? Muslim suppression at a moderate scale in a time when it was already old and weak and honestly in competition with lukewarm variant of Buddhism and Hinduism on the other side of the plateau, which themselves fell on the sword of conquest.

THE GOOD NEWS, however, is that the injunction against converts has been srsly relaxed in the last few years because "muh dying faith" and there's a surprisingly robust exile/convert community in the US, so pic related and phone up your local org.

What do you mean by this?
I don't believe in God but I don't say it's not possible. If there is it is unlikely one from any past or current religions.

"I believe there's 'something'"
is the most void thing ever, yet everybody in my surounding gives this reply when I ask them about their faith.

Watch Kent Hovind's creation seminar.

The first step to truth is realizing you've been lied to your whole life.

Get the garbage out of your head.

The reason you have existential crisis is because God and Satan are both fighting for your mind.

I suggest you read "Mere Christianity" by C.S. Lewis or watch cslewisdoodle on YT.

It wasn't the bow itself.

It was the combo of chariot + bow.

Regular chariots had spikes on their wheels and were meant to shock enemy formations.

Royal chariots were for harassing and kiting from a distance.

Egypt had already been a protectorate of Rome for over a century at that point, declaring it a province was just officially recognizing Rome's control over it.
